Under the epidemic, the phenomenon of "personal job mismatch" in the job market has become more and more prominent-


　　from an annual salary of 300,000 to the rejection of a subway security officer, it is not a physical problem

　　Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Li Hong, the chief career instructor of Shanghai Baoshan Employment Promotion Center, will be more "brain-burning" in 2020 than in previous years.

She has been in the industry for 13 years and is facing increasingly complex job search needs, especially this year.

　　There are only 35 "chiefs" like Li Hong in Shanghai.

Since the outbreak, she has provided one-on-one career guidance consulting services for more than 100 people, and provided career guidance for more than 2,000 college students.

Among them, a group of young and middle-aged job seekers with an annual salary of 300,000 to 500,000 came to visit, which brought her challenges.

Most of them come from offline education, tourism, hotel and other industries that have been hit harder by the epidemic, and left their jobs during the epidemic.

　　The impact of the epidemic has lasted for nearly a year.

In the past 10 months, more than 150 vocational instructors from the Shanghai Employment Promotion Center provided employment guidance to more than 10,000 people. The average guidance lasted one or two months. More than 70% of these people later achieved stable employment.

One significant change discovered by the career counselors is that the people who come to seek public employment guidance services are no longer those with low education and high age who are just looking for a job. They are replaced by a group of high education, high salary, Young people who are full of expectations and ideas for their careers.

A group of middle and senior managers from 35 to 45 years old with more than 15 years of experience in vertical industries have also come to their door.

I have a house, a car, a baby, and a loan. I'm super anxious

　　"Most of them are born in the 1980s. Like me, they have worked for more than ten years. They have houses, cars, children, mortgages, car loans, and tuition pressure. You can carry them if you don’t have any income for a month, or even three or four months or even six months Income is super anxious." Li Hong said.

　　Whenever he encounters such a client, the first thing Li Hong has to do is to help him relieve his "super anxious" mood.

　　Under anxiety, many people will embark on an extremely irrational job search route, which will cause them to be "suffered" and become more anxious.

　　40-year-old Li Chao (pseudonym) was originally engaged in research and development in a traditional manufacturing company in Shanghai.

Affected by the epidemic, the company's capital chain was broken. After the boss paid the last month's basic salary, he announced the closure.

　　"It was not very anxious at the beginning. This one closed and went to another one. It was normal." Li Chao told a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily that he used to change jobs and could find his next home in about a month and would A headhunter took the initiative to contact him, "The annual salary of 300,000 yuan is basically guaranteed."

But this time, because the industry as a whole was hit, his professional vacuum was extended to nearly 6 months.

　　In the past six months, Li Chao had to search for relevant job opportunities online every day like a recent graduate. He even used his unskilled PPT production skills to create a resume for online job search.

In the past, his subordinates did the PPT when he reported his work, and when he changed jobs, there would be headhunters who arranged time for him to interview with HR.

　　But this time, after all these efforts, he still failed to find a job.

He was really panicked. If he doesn't work, he will be unable to pay the mortgage.

He started throwing resumes randomly, thinking that as long as he can get some salary, it is good.

His expected annual salary dropped from 300,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan and then to 100,000 yuan.

What broke him most was that he took a beautiful resume to apply for the post of subway company security inspector, but was also rejected.

　　"There is a serious mismatch between people and posts. The subway security inspectors have to stand for 8 to 12 hours a day, can you?" Li Hong said that in the case of people and posts mismatch, the frustration of people with high education is inevitable.

　　In addition to Li Chao, Li Hong also encountered tourism product managers who were rejected as hotel receptionists and middle managers of offline educational institutions who were rejected as corporate receptionists this year.

"Some people are afraid of jumping out of the industry, and some are not afraid of anything and just look for work."

　　"The structural contradiction in employment, from a microscopic point of view, is the mismatch between people and positions." Zhang Yunying, Director of the Employment Office of the Shanghai Employment Promotion Center, told the China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily reporter that the mismatch of people and jobs was laid off by the epidemic The problem is particularly worthy of attention. "We only saw Huawei and Ali offer an annual salary of 2 million yuan to invite a freshman. They all want to go to the finance, technology, and Internet industries, but no one analyzes what they have and what they are suitable for."

What they want is more than just a job

　　In the 2020 "National Public Employment Service Special Business Competition" hosted by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, Li Hong won the title of "National Top Ten Vocational Instructors" with the first overall score.

In the competition, a case analysis question was to simulate a job hunting scene where a female college student majoring in financial management insisted on transforming to become an online anchor. Li Hong scored high.

"It's too real, I often encounter this kind of situation in daily work." She said.

　　In the past, people who sought help from Li Hong were mainly middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s with financial difficulties. Most of them just needed to "refer a job"; now, most of them are born in the 80s and 90s who are unwilling to settle for the status quo. , Even young people born after 00.

Their favorite occupation is "freelance"-they don't need to work from 9 to 5, they have higher incomes, they can accumulate resources and help future entrepreneurship, and they all like to be "slash youth".

　　Zhaopin's "2020 China's Best Employer Selection Report" shows that the factor that college students value employers most is "respect for employees", followed by "prospects."

Li Qiang, executive vice president of Zhaolian Recruitment, believes that in the future, young people's job selection may be "completely linked" to their interests and hobbies. "The biggest change in future work patterns is that the flexible use of labor unions has become very common, so we must prepare more and find ourselves Put your energy in the direction of love."

　　In reality, there are really young people who leave for the "prospect."

The conflict between Roger (pseudonym) and his family occurred during the epidemic.

Roger, who graduated with a major in computer science from the university, followed his parents' arrangements and joined a state-owned enterprise as a quality inspector with an annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan.

Among his colleagues, Roger has the highest degree, and most of the others have technical secondary school or college degree.

　　After working for two years, Roger resigned without his parents’ consent.

He wants to take a postgraduate entrance examination and major in "Big Data Analysis".

After the outbreak, Roger failed the postgraduate entrance examination again and experienced a career window period of up to one year.

　　At a community employment consultation meeting, Roger's mother "sue" to the career instructor Li Hong, thinking that her son "has a problem with his ability". First, he failed to pass the postgraduate entrance examination, and second, the "Haitou" resume failed to find a job.

　　After analyzing Roger’s job search path, Li Hong found that the boy only delivered resumes to the "data analysis post", and never tried a marketing post that might require some data analysis skills, or some strategies that required customer engagement or copywriting skills. Analysis post.

　　Roger said that he is not good at communicating with people and can only analyze data, so he cannot accept positions that may need to communicate with others.

　　Contrary to Roger's focus on his own majors, many college students with strong professional and technical abilities suddenly had the idea of ​​becoming a "network anchor" or professional e-sports player at the critical moment of job hunting.

　　Zhang Yunying said that most young people who come to apply for jobs focus on high-gloss, high-paying positions such as finance, big data, the Internet, live broadcasting, and e-sports, but they don't pay enough attention to the "migration" of their professional skills.

　　For example, if a tour guide who has left his job due to the impact of the epidemic goes to apply for a bank customer service position or a mobile company account manager position, there is a high probability that he will succeed in reemployment.

"The specialty of a tour guide is to be good at communication and to serve customers. Correspondingly, if you need communication and customer service, you can apply for a tour guide. Instead of going to the hotel as the front desk." Li Hong said.

　　Under the guidance of Li Hong, Roger tried to apply for some marketing department positions that required 80% of computer expertise plus 20% of communication and copywriting skills, and soon got an offer from a bank and a start-up new energy company.

He chose the latter.

"Family conditions are okay, I am not so anxious to make money. I am a boy and I hope to make a break in a more promising industry."

Many young people don’t know what they have

　　"Mismatch of people and positions" is particularly eye-catching under the epidemic, which makes many people feel "it is particularly difficult to find a job."

Data from Zhaopin Recruitment shows that under the epidemic, the scale of school recruitment has not been reduced, and 58% of companies still choose to expand their recruitment this year.

Compared with last year, the budget invested by companies in school recruitment has also increased.

According to BOSS direct employment data, the "early bird season" of autumn recruitment in 2021 corresponds to the pick-up of demand for graduates, an increase of 4.5% year-on-year.

It is worth noting that the average salary for candidates who are required to have a doctorate degree reached 26,523 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.4%.

　　An important job of a career instructor is to help job seekers sort out their "professional abilities", and then find the parts of these vocational abilities that can be "transferred".

Which abilities can be used in which jobs.

　　College students often complain to Li Hong, “I’m not good at communication, I can’t bargain, I can’t do a purchasing post or a sales post.” At this time, Li Hong would often ask him: “You ask your parents for living expenses. No bargaining? Will you first think about how to open your mouth?"

　　She said that many young people are not clear about their "ability".

This is also an important reason to advance career guidance to the freshman and sophomore stage.

"In many cases, it's not that there are not enough jobs in the market, but that college students have an unreasonable positioning of themselves. In the senior year, he had a whim to do this or that, but didn't think about what skills he had at hand."

　　Li Hong once took a group of freshman students to visit the e-sports base in Baoshan District. After seeing the work of the e-sports base, many students suddenly realized, "It turns out that you can do the e-sports industry without playing games."

Whenever he encounters a college student who wants to give up his professional skills and turn to live broadcast, Li Hong always tells them patiently, “Behind an anchor, there are many accumulations of different professional skills, and the professional life is limited, so you can really do it in this industry. The head is only rare."

　　At the end of November, at the special job fair for fresh graduates held by Shanghai University, the ranks of career instructors at the consultation desk were longer than those before the recruiting companies.

The job fair is drawing to a close, and many students are still lining up-job seekers' desire for career guidance is very obvious.

　　Wei Qiu (pseudonym), 33, worked in a foreign academic exchange center before the epidemic, and started looking for jobs in April.

She told reporters that her age is not dominant, and most of her work experience is in the education and training industry. It is an industry that has been hit hard by the epidemic, and it is difficult to recruit similar companies.

Her resume submission was basically a “nothing”. At first, she could not accept a large salary cut. Later, she also submitted her resume to some general-purpose positions with relatively low wages.

With the help of Li Hong, she "refined" and summarized her personal core abilities, found a new "track", and succeeded in her job search.

She sighed that the last time I submitted my resume was in 2013, and the websites that originally submitted my resume have now declined.

　　She told reporters that the impact of the "black swan" of the epidemic on her is hard to say whether it is positive or negative, but no matter what, she will work hard to face it.
