"Post-00s" enter the workplace, and their job-seeking mentality is more diverse
From finding a job for survival to finding a job for life, people's employment outlook has changed a lot in the past ten years
In the past two years, the "post-00s" have graduated and entered the workplace. Compared with the "post-80s" and "post-90s" who have been repeatedly discussed, this new generation is full of personality. It has become a new trend for them.
From "being selected" to "going both ways" with the company, how did the new concept of career choice come into being at this stage?
Recently, the reporter conducted multi-dimensional interviews on the "post-80s", "post-90s" and "post-00s" at different stages of employment and entrepreneurship, focusing on professional mentality and behavior.
"Post-80s" pay attention to family responsibilities
"Post-00s" give full play to their value
"The post-80s struggle, the post-90s take a break, and the post-00s reorganize the workplace". In recent years, this statement has become quite popular. Although it is biased, it reflects the confidence of young people at different stages in the process of economic and social development. .
For Mr. Li, who is born in the 1980s, this year is his 15th year of work after graduation.
"When I graduated in 2008, it was easier for me to find a job after graduating from an undergraduate or postgraduate degree. I had at least two jobs that matched my major and had a formal establishment. After consideration, I chose the current Jinan company." He admitted frankly : "The starting salary of this company is 4,000 yuan/month. At that time, the housing price in Jinan was about 4,000 yuan/square meter. As long as you work hard, you can buy a house and settle down and gain a firm foothold in this city."
Generations have the responsibility of a generation.
Zhu Haipeng, deputy director of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Committee of the China Technology Entrepreneurship Association and deputy secretary-general of the Shandong Employment Promotion Association, introduced that around 2003, after finishing college, there was no longer a "package allocation", and many college graduates fell into a panic period, but in contrast, During that time, there were many jobs and little pressure on employment. Many "post-80s" job seekers focused on finding jobs for their families and first achieving prosperity for small families.
Opposite to the active employment of the "post-80s" is the "Buddhist" mentality of the post-00s.
According to the "2021 College Student Employability Report" previously released by Zhaopin Recruitment, the employment mentality of the 2021 graduates is "Buddhist", and the employment ratio of units is less than 60%.
At the same time, as the "post-00s" entered the workplace, they were "bravely speaking" and "not used to" about issues such as the "996" work system and workplace PUA that made workers feel miserable, and were labeled as "reorganizing the workplace". Label.
Wu Qiang, an employment big data analyst in Shandong, has personal experience of the changes in occupational patterns over the past 20 years.
In his view, the employment concept of "post-80s" to "post-00s" has undergone a change from survival to development, from focusing on raising a family and making money now to focusing on future personal career prospects, it is a process of gradual evolution over the past 20 years. Marker time points for "gene mutation".
During the ten years of employment for college students from the "post-80s" to "post-90s", the society is in a stage of rapid economic development, which brings a lot of employment and entrepreneurial opportunities, while the "post-90s" to "post-00s" generation is extremely rich in material resources "Survival" is obviously not the primary problem faced by most of the new generation. They are relatively more pursuing the embodiment of personal value, longing to be respected, and to improve the happiness of life.
Highly educated, freelancer
Favored by the new generation
With the intensified competition in the job market and the increase in the requirements for talents, college students are also adjusting their development paths. More and more people choose to continue their studies, or embrace the current flexible employment, freelance and other diversified employment forms to broaden their future choices. .
According to the survey data released by Qilu Talent Network in May, the proportion of Shandong 2022 graduates who have signed contracts for employment is 57.28%; 18.53% choose slow employment, 13.59% choose to further study, and 10.18% choose freelance.
In general, the proportion of graduates who have contracted employment has declined, while the proportion of slow employment, further education, and freelance jobs has increased.
Qin Ying (pseudonym), who was born in 1993, graduated from 985 colleges and universities in China, majoring in materials chemistry and related majors. Not long ago, he officially joined Weichai Power Co., Ltd.
"At present, I have just joined the company, and I have no specific plans for the future, but the company has an on-the-job doctoral program. I want to strive for it while working." Qin Ying said.
It can be seen that with the intensified competition in the job market, the willingness of college students to continue their studies has increased significantly.
The "postgraduate craze" is gradually infiltrating the "postgraduate craze", and many college students are more inclined to regard high education as a stepping stone to enter high-quality enterprises.
Under the background of the application of new technologies such as the Internet and big data, college students have become a new force in the sharing economy and platform economy.
Li Qian (pseudonym) has not yet stepped out of the campus and has already begun to contact flexible employment. She has been engaged in part-time work related to translation during the university.
Now, all of Li Qian's work orders are found by herself through the Internet.
She said: "Now is the era of the Internet of Everything, even if you are an individual or a small studio, as long as you have the ability to coordinate and integrate, you can get a lot of resources on the platform; in addition, I chose freelance because I wanted to escape from the With a nine-to-five life, now with stable income and free time, why do you have to go to work at a fixed location every day?"
It is worth noting that in recent years, due to the impact of the epidemic, the operating conditions of many enterprises have been unstable, and the wages of employees have been affected more or less. The employment direction within the system is keen on state-owned enterprises, institutions and state organs.
Xiao Zhang, a graduate who took the civil service examination, believes: "Instead of guessing about the instability and uncertainty of the future, it is better to take the test. This is the safest way out."
Entrepreneurial project quality improvement
More and more technological projects
Employment and entrepreneurship are interdependent, entrepreneurship can lead to more employment, and employment can lead to better entrepreneurship.
Wu Qiang introduced that entrepreneurship needs to be actively tried, and whether success is related to personal ability and the current opportunities and environment, but only a few people will succeed in the end.
Li Ruiyun, born in 2000, is a student of the School of Automation and Electrical Engineering of Jinan University. During the university, a team of 8 including her successfully developed an "artificial intelligence-assisted early cancer screening and early warning platform".
The project pioneered the precise service mechanism of "one screening, two visits, three links, four diagnoses, five treatments and six evaluations", and refined the technical plan of the national urban cancer early diagnosis and early treatment project. Knowledge + AI algorithm "early malignant tumor intelligent auxiliary diagnosis method, which realizes the prediction and early warning of high-risk groups of malignant tumor.
The platform has been piloted in some community medical institutions in Jinan High-tech Zone. At the same time, it has cooperated with the Central Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University and has been promoted in many hospitals.
On June 20 this year, Li Ruiyun registered and established Jinan Jiabang Medical Technology Co., Ltd.
Instead of being a "worker", Li Ruiyun, who dares to venture and create, is obviously more inclined to start a business and make his company bigger and stronger.
"There are 35 students in our class. During the university, there are three other students who are also starting their own businesses. Some of them are in self-media, and some are in investment education. The projects have all been implemented and the benefits are good."
As a judge and team leader of the “Internet +” Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition of the Ministry of Education for many times, Zhu Haipeng strongly recommends that college students learn entrepreneurship-related knowledge during college.
"Zaozhuang College has students doing data labeling projects, with an annual income of 30 million yuan during their sophomore year; Shandong University has students working as 'programming cats' during their school days, focusing on children's programming, and the current financing has exceeded 1 billion yuan; Shandong Normal University '90 Later, the students founded 'Le Xuan Ping Pong', and now there are more than 2,000 chain stores nationwide..."
Zhu Haipeng said frankly that from a national perspective, the overall entrepreneurial success rate is about 2%, but this does not mean that entrepreneurial projects and entrepreneurial resources are becoming less and less. On the contrary, with the development of the times, the number of entrepreneurial projects has increased year by year, and the quality of entrepreneurial projects has become higher and higher. .
For example, there may have been more service industry projects in the early days, and then there will be more and more technological projects in the future.
Compared with the "post-80s" and "post-90s", the "post-00s" who have received more information are indeed the generation that pays the most attention to innovation and rights protection.
Judging from the number of intellectual property declarations by universities in recent years, the more patent applications, the stronger the innovation of universities, and the phenomenon of "post-00s" getting together to apply for intellectual property and patents, which shows that they have a better life plan for the future. The plan is clearer, and it will be more for yourself.
"Whether it's employment or entrepreneurship, from the perspective of enterprise employment, most entrepreneurs are 'post-60s', 'post-70s', 'post-80s', and their understanding of 'post-90s' and 'post-00s' may not be enough to bear hardships and stand hard work. More material and spiritual." Zhu Haipeng said: "With the improvement of living standards, the working environment, corporate culture and future expectations of the new generation are very different from those of the past. This is a generation that connects the past and the next. Although it was misunderstood at the time, it can withstand it. Test, dare to break through, once integrated into the workplace, the explosive power is also very impressive." (Reporter Wang Xiaohan)
