As one of the top universities in China, Fudan University has always performed well in terms of enrollment and employment rate with its abundant educational resources and comprehensive strength. However, the recent employment plight of a Fudan liberal arts student has attracted widespread attention. It is embarrassing that the student actively participated in the autumn recruitment activities and submitted 200 resumes, but received almost no responses. This unimaginable situation has sparked a strong discussion on social media, and at the same time, it has also cast a shadow on the image of Fudan University's alma mater.
For this situation, the time span of the investigation was about 3 months, during which the student submitted resumes for 111 enterprises and institutions and 183 positions, except for an offer from "Didi", all other resumes were fruitless. This also shows the severity of the employment situation of liberal arts students at Fudan University.
Sadly, despite trying various methods, such as taking the Shanghai selection test and the exams of several banks, and even creating several different resumes, she did not achieve the desired results. In order to improve her chances of success, she also participated in offline job fairs of several colleges and universities, and made a large number of overseas investments. However, these efforts did not pay off as expected.
At the same time, the employment plight of Fudan University's bachelor's and master's degree in finance is also worth paying attention to. The bachelor's and master's degree in finance at Fudan University wanted to find a job with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan, but he fell into an employment dilemma. Female finance majors like her often face gender bias and fierce competition in the job market. This also hints at Mr. Zhang Xuefeng's previous suggestion.
Why do Fudan liberal arts students fall into such an embarrassing employment dilemma?First of all, Fudan University's aura of prestigious schools may have brought too high expectations and difficulties for students to choose. As a top university, students at Fudan University tend to have high self-esteem and expectations. They tend to choose positions that only look like "elite school aristocrats" can be entered, and have higher requirements for other positions. This picky mentality has led to a narrow scope of their employment, which has increased the difficulty of employment.
Secondly, the employment situation of liberal arts majors is relatively difficult. Compared to science majors, liberal arts majors are in relatively small demand in the job market. This makes liberal arts majors face greater competitive pressure in the employment process. At the same time, the employment situation of finance majors is even more severe, especially for female students, and gender bias and physical appearance factors are one of the reasons that further exacerbate the difficulty of finding employment. Mr. Zhang Xuefeng's comments and suggestions on this matter have undoubtedly deepened people's understanding of this employment dilemma.
In addition, although Fudan University has advantages in academic research and scientific research strength, the ties and cooperation with enterprises may not be close enough. Companies are more likely to choose students with backgrounds and experience related to their majors, while less attention is paid to students in non-core majors. This is also one of the reasons why some graduates are struggling with autumn recruitment.
In the face of the employment dilemma of Fudan liberal arts students, I think the following suggestions can help students solve the employment problem.
First of all, it is necessary to broaden the horizon of employment and actively contact various enterprises and jobs. Rather than being limited to specific industries and positions, you may wish to take the initiative to learn more about employment and try to expand your career direction to other positions. At the same time, it is recommended to seek help and counseling from the school's career guidance center for more career guidance and recruitment information.
Second, strengthen the accumulation of practical experience. In addition to academic achievement, practical experience is essential for employment. It is recommended that students actively participate in Xi and club activities inside and outside the school to broaden their social experience and network resources. These experiences can not only improve one's overall quality, but also help to highlight one's personal strengths in the job market.
Thirdly, pay attention to the improvement of personal ability. Whether it is professional skills or comprehensive quality, you can start from your own interests and advantages, and continue to learn and Xi and improve. Participate in relevant training courses, certificate exams, etc., to enhance your competitiveness in the market competition. At the same time, they should also actively participate in various trainings and lectures to broaden their thinking and horizons.
Finally, be optimistic and positive. It's normal to encounter difficulties and setbacks in the employment process, but the key is to maintain a positive mindset. Believe in your own strength and potential, persist in hard work and pursuit, and believe that you will always find the right opportunity for yourself.
The case of Fudan liberal arts students' employment plight has aroused extensive discussion and thinking. In the face of employment problems, we should make unremitting efforts to continuously improve our capabilities and competitiveness. At the same time, it is also necessary to broaden the horizon of employment and take the initiative to seek help and guidance. At the same time, we should also recognize that the issue of employment is a systemic social problem, which requires the joint efforts of schools, families and society to provide better employment opportunities and environment for every student. Only in this way can we achieve equity in education and a reasonable flow of talents, so that everyone has the opportunity to realize their dreams.
