The popularization of higher education has led to a continuous increase in the number of college students, which has become a serious challenge in the real world. Although compared with some developed countries, the proportion of college students in China to the total population is relatively low, but due to the excessive labor force with little difference in academic qualifications, many graduates are facing competitive pressure and job search difficulties in the workplace. The number of graduates in 2024 is expected to reach a staggering 11.79 million. Although some graduates choose to continue their studies or go to work, finding a job after graduation is still a challenge that most people have to face. The cruelty and stress of the real world have caused many people to worry and anxiety about the future.
1. Laughing at poverty and not prostitution, the dilemma of job hunting in the workplace
You don't do it, some people do", this motivational language is becoming more and more realistic in the real world. Before graduating, most graduates have to face the important issue of finding a job. Finding a satisfying job has a direct impact on a student's confidence and well-being. The problem, however, is that most graduates today don't have much of a choice. Here we will not discuss those top students, but focus on the employment situation of most ordinary students, because this is related to the future of many ordinary families. However, these ordinary students are less and less likely to get a job through school recruitment. In the past, school recruitment was usually more advantageous than social recruitment. Because the enterprises participating in the recruitment of colleges and universities are usually screened and checked by college teachers, their recruitment thresholds are also higher in terms of job requirements and treatment. However, more and more college students are facing problems such as low salaries and career mismatch in school recruitment. Some graduate students find themselves hired by an online company with a monthly salary of 2,200 yuan, while some students even find themselves recruited by a local KTV"Princess", need to sing, drink, and possibly betray the hue. These reductions in the quality of campus recruitment have largely exposed the problem. For these"Ordinary people"Their employment situation is becoming more and more embarrassing, and the predicament they face is more representative and concerning.
2. The twists and turns and hardships of the road to employment
In the real world, college students are under tremendous pressure to take on life tasks independently, and to face stress and challenges. From the moment they leave school, many people have to learn to cope with the loads of life and face the pressures and challenges of work alone. As the first lesson for graduates, as Gao Qiqiang said in the play, you must learn to be careful and calculated. For most ordinary graduates, whether they can find a satisfactory job before officially graduating directly determines their living conditions and self-confidence. The problem, however, is that many college students find that their job search space is very limited. It's not that they can choose the job, it's the job that chooses them. In this predicament, many fresh graduates have realized the seriousness of the problem.
3. Adverse selection in the job market
In reality, there are not that many formal job opportunities available to college students. In order for the school to guarantee employment opportunities, the superior may ask the school to find some"Straw class table"to fill the slot. This is often the case with high requirements but low salaries, or at the low end of the industry. At the moment, many graduates are embarrassed to find that when they haven't found a job, the new batch of graduates will rush into the workforce to grab jobs. Many post-00s generations may have chosen to go to big cities to find opportunities in the past, but now wages in first- and second-tier cities are also declining, making them much less meaningful to be away from home. Regardless of the city, graduates face the same frustration. Many people find that job fairs are either recruiting workers or salespeople, which has become almost a true portrayal of many places today. If college students want to find a job, they basically need to go through the process of resistance, confusion and humiliation. Even working in an office building is full of high-intensity hard work, and some graduates even lament that they are similar to the weavers of the last century. They even began to apply for jobs such as security guards and cleaners, giving up the idea of pursuing decency and comfort.
Starting from the fact that the number of college graduates in the class of 2024 has reached a new high, it is not difficult to see that the real world is becoming more and more strained for college students. Graduates have to face a highly competitive job market, and finding a satisfying job becomes extremely difficult. Especially for the average graduate, they are often under the pressure of an imbalance between supply and demand in the job market, and they are unable to get the job opportunities they want. The quality of school recruitment has declined, many jobs have low requirements, and the salary package is unsatisfactory, which makes many college students feel helpless. Falling wages in first- and second-tier cities and the cost of leaving their homes have added to their worries. In the process of job hunting, college students have to experience resistance, confusion and humiliation, and they strive to find a way out of the employment dilemma.
For the problem of the ability of the real world to accommodate college students, we need to think about how to improve the current situation. On the one hand, colleges and universities should increase guidance on vocational education and career planning for students, so as to enhance students' employability and competitiveness, so that they can better adapt to the challenges of the workplace. On the other hand, all sectors of society should actively cooperate to provide more formal positions and reasonable salaries, so that college students can have more choices and opportunities.
Overall, in the face of the reality of the rising number of graduates, we cannot ignore the employment dilemma they face. By strengthening education and providing more career opportunities, we can gradually improve this situation, so that more college students can find satisfying jobs in the real world and realize their life worth.
