Behind the different job search paths are youthful faces who dare to pursue their dreams.
go, go to the grassroots
Yiyi's graduation season is full of teacher-student love.
After attending the graduation ceremony, 23-year-old Lin Qingqing and more than 8,000 graduates from the school are about to go to all walks of life in the construction of the motherland.
Unlike most of her classmates, she chose Tibet.
Lin Qingqing is from Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province. She graduated from Anqing Normal University with a major in fine arts this year.
As a fresh graduate, she signed up for the West Plan and was eventually selected.
At the end of July, she is about to embark on a journey to Tibet to complete her first year of service.
"I have always been looking forward to Tibet. Last year, a senior just went to Ali, Tibet. I learned more from him, and the school also supports everyone to serve the western region, so before graduation, I have plans to go to Tibet. , I hope to make my own contribution to local education." Lin Qingqing said.
It is understood that a total of 17 people from Anqing Normal University were successfully selected for the "Western Plan" project this year, compared with only 6 people last year.
Soon, these graduates will go to Xinjiang, Tibet, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Ningxia and other places to take root at the grassroots level and contribute to local rural education, rural construction, and healthy villages.
After learning of her daughter's decision, Lin Qingqing's father was very supportive. In his opinion, young people should go to the grassroots to exercise, not to mention that this is also her daughter's own choice.
The mother was a little worried about her health, including her impending altitude sickness.
"The contract is signed once a year. I will take a look at the first year. If I can adapt, I hope to sign for a few more years." Lin Qingqing told reporters.
At present, the grassroots has become an important destination for graduate employment.
Like Lin Qingqing, Jiang Wenyi, a recent graduate of Anqing Normal University, also takes the grassroots as the starting point of her career, although this is somewhat different from her original idea.
"At the beginning, I tried to apply for teacher positions in big cities such as Hefei and Xuancheng, but due to fierce competition, I didn't get my wish." Jiang Wenyi said, in addition, due to the epidemic in the first half of the year, it became difficult to go to other places for interviews, which also gave Her search for a job has added challenges.
But she was not discouraged and actively adjusted her mentality.
In May of this year, at the campus recruitment fair held by the school, she selected a teacher position in Lingbi County, Anhui Province, and finally passed the interview and successfully applied for the position of mathematics teacher in Lingbi County No. 2 Middle School.
Lingbi County is located in northern Anhui, bordering Jiangsu.
More than 30 graduates from Anqing Normal University chose to teach here this year and dedicate their youth to grassroots positions.
Entrepreneurship to drive employment
Driving employment through entrepreneurship has a multiplier effect. A successful entrepreneurship not only solves its own employment, but also often leads to employment of other college graduates.
The development of China's Internet economy has nurtured more diversified market entities, and also spawned some new types of jobs that are different from the "9 to 5".
Some college graduates with active thinking and strong innovation ability choose to flex their muscles in such positions.
Approaching graduation, Wu Lin, a 22-year-old fresh graduate, did not look for a job like other graduates, but was busy "recruiting" for his newly established self-media studio.
Wu Lin studied radio and television in a university in Nanjing. He has released short videos to record his life on the self-media platform since his freshman year. After four years of operation, he has already had millions of fans. Work in the media.
Although there is a certain basis for video shooting and editing, it is not easy to take the road of self-media well.
How to continuously output high-quality content, how to enhance the stickiness of fans, and how to profile users according to different platforms... These are all issues Wu Lin is considering.
"I like a free and independent working environment. But the speed of Internet updates and iterations is fast. To be engaged in this industry requires a high degree of sensitivity, continuous development and changes, and keeping an eye on the wind." Wu Lin said that he is also constantly learning law, Professional knowledge of public relations, business, finance, etc., makes the operation of the studio more smoothly.
Although he hasn't graduated yet, "post-90s" Sun Zhangwei has already planned for a rainy day.
The MBA student at the University of Science and Technology of China completed business registration as a "boss" in April this year, and founded Anhui Zhongke Yundao Technology Co., Ltd., dedicated to the research and development of digital twin systems and water conservancy software in water conservancy and other industries.
"The application of digital twin technology in cities is very mature. We hope to make a difference in water conservancy construction. This is a new topic and a long track, which requires more time, manpower and capital." He said, Today, the young Zhongke Yundao has gathered more than 30 professional and technical personnel to engage in digital twin technology projects, and plans to develop water conservancy software in the future.
Sun Zhangwei said that the epidemic had a great impact on the entire market, but it also brought opportunities for entrepreneurship.
For example, the rent of many storefronts and office buildings has dropped, and the cost of opening a store has become cheaper. There are also many supporting policies.
The reporter combed and found that in order to help graduates find employment and start businesses, many places across the country have introduced relevant preferential and assistance policies.
For example, college graduates working and starting businesses in key industrial enterprises in Hefei City, Anhui Province, can participate in the "Double Thousands of College Graduates Training" project for free, and will be given a training subsidy of no more than 10,000 yuan per person. Eligible college students can be free of charge. Participate in employability skills training and entrepreneurship training.
In Chongqing, in order to encourage self-employment, the local government requires entrepreneurship carriers invested and developed by the government to arrange about 30% of the venues to be provided free of charge to young entrepreneurs such as college graduates, and to develop 10,000 entrepreneurial workstations.
In addition, there are also related policies such as one-time start-up subsidies, start-up guaranteed loans and interest discounts, tax reductions and exemptions.
Depend on others more on yourself
Online assessments, video interviews, online signing... Like many students around him, Yu Tong, a 22-year-old undergraduate graduate of Hefei University of Technology, has experienced a different "employment season" in the past few months.
"Affected by the epidemic, offline recruitment is limited. I saw the company's recruitment information at the online double-election meeting held by the school, submitted my resume online, and finally settled on a job." Yu graduated from energy and power engineering. Tong said.
Since the autumn recruitment in September last year, Yu Tong began his job search.
Participate in job training camps, listen to offline lectures, run job fairs... However, these traditional job search paths have all pressed the "pause button" because of the epidemic in the first half of this year.
"The company can't come in, and we can't go out. Various offline recruitments have been postponed. The school has guided us to apply for Internet 'cloud' employment. It has held a number of online dual-selection meetings, and put all links online. Save time and effort." Yu Tong said.
Zhong Xiaoyao, director of the Student Affairs Department of the Party Committee of Hefei University of Technology, introduced that in order to cope with the special employment situation this year, the school system promotes the construction of an Internet "cloud" employment model.
In information release, job matching, interview signing and other links, it provides more accurate and convenient online employment services. Up to now, 108 online lectures and 20 online dual-selection meetings have been held to help students better find employment.
Looking at the country, all localities are making every effort to promote more full and higher-quality employment of college graduates.
Expand grassroots employment space, stabilize the scale of public sector jobs, expand the scale of enterprise employment, improve job-seeking and entrepreneurial subsidies, and strengthen vocational skills training... Guizhou issued the "Twenty Measures of Guizhou Province to Promote the Employment and Entrepreneurship of College Graduates in 2022", Jiangsu, Ningxia, Chongqing and other places have also proposed detailed measures to fully release policy dividends and actively expand employment channels for college graduates.
During the interview, many graduates said that the state, localities and schools have issued many policies to help college students find employment, and the rest still depends on their own abilities.
"Although it is a little stressful this year, but working hard and finding a job is no problem." Jiang Wenyi said, "We just left school and we don't have much experience, so I hope to improve myself with the help of my first job."
At the same time, she also expressed the hope that enterprises should treat famous schools and "double-non" schools equally when recruiting, and evaluate and evaluate more from the aspect of ability; as far as students themselves are concerned, they must be down-to-earth, face rejection correctly, and believe in themselves.
"A career requires long-term planning and hard work, and there are more than one path to employment. The new generation of young people actively adjust their employment ideas according to the changes in the situation. Considering the direction of career development, these are all worthy of recognition and respect," said Xu Hua, a professor at the School of Social and Political Science of Anhui University.
