Today's college graduates struggle to face the competitive pressures and challenges of the job market. Students who have graduated from top universities, in particular, are finding that the traditional academic advantage is no longer a guarantee of success. This article will tell the story of a girl from a top 211 college who encountered doubts and blows when faced with a job dilemma. Despite her excellent academic qualifications, netizens showed no mercy to what happened to her.
At the beginning of the article, the mother first shared the experience of her daughters' seniors in going to graduate school. 11 students failed the postgraduate entrance examination, 9 have found a job (including those who failed the postgraduate examination), and 3 chose to go abroad. This series of postgraduate entrance examinations, employment and overseas options make people feel the pressure of reality more deeply. No matter what the field, it is full of challenges and competition. Difficulties are not unique to individuals, but are a pervasive phenomenon in the job market as a whole.
My daughter had a series of setbacks during her internship experience. She tried to get into the world's famous Big Four accounting firms, but failed to pass the screening. Then, she tried to intern at Xiaomi, a well-known domestic company, but also unsuccessfully. These experiences have left her daughter anxious, who believes that the current job opportunities are reduced and the internship is more difficult. Even when she got the internship, she realized how busy her work was, and she felt super tired. In the face of these challenges, my daughter had to plan for the future. She considered going to graduate school first, and if that didn't work, she would just look for a job to earn a living, instead of studying more or pursuing her hobbies. This reflects her confusion about the future and her adaptation to reality.
Despite the huge setbacks and difficulties her daughter encountered, she did not show any sympathy in the online comments. On the contrary, many netizens expressed indifference to the top university she belonged to, and even belittled its value. They believe that having a background from a prestigious university in the workplace is not necessarily an advantage. Some netizens even bluntly said: "The top 985 has hit a wall, what is 211." This rhetoric shows a disparaging attitude towards prestigious institutions and questions their value and role.
In the face of the current trend of downgrading, how should students adjust their mindset and respond positively?First, they must recognize that downgrading is not a unique experience of an individual, but a general trend in the job market as a whole. In the face of this trend, they should not be overly disappointed, but should consider their future development from a broader perspective. Secondly, students can choose to continue to pursue the improvement of their academic qualifications and look for some ways to rise. However, this does not mean that they should be caught up in a blind competition for academic qualifications. In fact, academic qualifications are not the only factor that determines getting a good job, work experience is just as important as practical skills. Therefore, students should develop their qualities holistically, not only by constantly learning new knowledge and improving skills, but also by participating in practical projects, expanding interpersonal relationships, and accumulating practical work experience. This well-rounded development not only improves employability, but also makes individuals more shapely and adaptable in the workplace.
In today's highly competitive job market, academic qualifications, while important, are by no means the decisive factor. Students should reimagine their future choices from the perspective of the larger environment. At the same time, they should be fully aware that the downgrade of academic qualifications is not an individual frustration, but a general trend in the entire job market. Only by comprehensively developing their own qualities and being good at adjusting their mentality can they better break out of the world in the workplace.
Through the description of what happened to this top 211 female college student, we can see the cruelty of workplace competition and the pressure of reality. It also made me wonder how I should respond to a similar dilemma. First of all, we must adjust our mindset and realize that academic qualifications are not the only measure of personal worth. Secondly, we should strive to improve our overall quality, not only focusing on subject knowledge, but also on the cultivation of practical experience and practical skills. In addition, it is also very important to establish a wide range of contacts and expand your professional circle by communicating and collaborating with people in different fields. Finally, maintain a positive attitude, believe in your abilities and potential, constantly pursue your personal career goals, and strive to achieve your dreams. In the face of difficulties and setbacks, we must persevere in our efforts and believe that our efforts will eventually be rewarded.
