Fresh graduates are "difficult to get jobs", why do people still choose "slow employment"
As the graduation season approaches, the issue of job hunting and employment for fresh graduates has once again aroused public concern.
Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that in April this year, the nationwide surveyed unemployment rate in urban areas was 5.1%, a decrease of 0.2% compared with March. However, the surveyed unemployment rate for young people aged 16 to 24 remained high at 13.6%.
The relatively high unemployment rate among young people who have recently left school is of course a direct manifestation of "difficulties in finding jobs."
However, the "difficulty in employment" in the eyes of the public may have another facet in the eyes of fresh graduates.
The mentality of "not getting high and not getting low" when some college students find a job, and the increasingly popular trend of "slow employment" and "slow employment" are the two sides of the current employment characteristics of college students.
The first job of a young person determines the starting point of his career. The first job is unsatisfactory and has a profound impact on the mental health of young people.
Whether to "employ first before choosing a job", or not to do it, and to insist on "perfectionism" on job search results are two completely different employment concepts.
Compared with the past, many college graduates now have more affluent family conditions, which makes them tend to be "uncompromising" when applying for jobs.
The backing of the family allows them to have a longer job search period, and some graduates can still get financial support from their families after they leave the campus.
"Finding a job" is not an imminent task for them, but a choice of life direction.
From the school's point of view, helping more students find jobs and "helping the horse to get a ride" is a manifestation of the responsibility of educators.
At the same time, the employment status of graduates is also an important indicator of the social recognition of universities.
Colleges and universities are motivated and pressured to do a good job in employment-but the "good" mentioned here is actually an increase in employment rate statistics in the eyes of many universities.
For colleges and universities and departments responsible for promoting employment, employment is a macro social project; but for individual job seekers, employment corresponds to a very specific personal life, which includes the question of whether they have found a job or not. Anxiety also includes the consideration of whether the job is comfortable.
Therefore, when observing the "difficulty in finding employment" of college students, while paying attention to statistics, we must also pay more attention to the degree of matching between job applicants' wishes and actual employment.
At present, supporting independent entrepreneurship and multi-channel flexible employment has become the national policy guide, and the employment of college graduates has become increasingly diverse.
In this regard, the society should also be soberly aware that accepting and encouraging flexible employment is to respect job seekers’ willingness to find employment and to provide adequate protection for different forms of employment, rather than pursuing formal employment rates.
With the development of society, it has become a trend for young people to prolong their career choices, and the “seamless connection” from campus to workplace may become a thing of the past.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the relevant departments have responded to the call and introduced a policy to extend the status of "graduate students".
Only by understanding the inherent laws of these changes can we effectively provide employment services.
The employment situation is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and the individual's job search choices are closely related to the satisfaction and happiness of life.
It is very important to expand the employment rate and control the unemployment rate. It is equally important to provide employment services and support for different individuals.
Only when the overall regulation of employment positions and the specific support for individual job applicants are "twisted into one strand" can the positive force be released to the greatest extent.
