Li Jiwei and Yuan Muxian: In the context of economic slowdown, on the one hand, corporate layoffs and recruitment, and on the other hand, they have a strong demand for job hunting in freshmen, and discussions on employment are resurrected.

Fresh graduates graduated in 2019. For the future, their choices are nothing more than three types: employment, further studies, and entrepreneurship.Honest entrepreneurial risks, strong postgraduate competition and other concerns often make them more inclined to get on the road of job hunting.In the context of the slowdown in economic growth, on the one hand, corporate layoffs and recruitment, and on the other hand, the demand for employment in freshmen is strong, thus setting off discussions on employment difficulties.But is it really difficult for employment?

In the cold winter, no road is easy

The postgraduate entrance examination has been one of the important ways for undergraduate graduates for many years.According to statistics, the number of applicants for postgraduate entrance examinations in 2019 reached 2.9 million, an increase of more than 20%compared with last year, and the maximum increase in more than ten years.The 2019 National Graduate Admissions Survey Report released by China Education Online China Education has attributed this phenomenon to China's economic transformation and upgrading, slowed down, and graduates' requirements for increasing their self -competitiveness are getting higher and higher.

Although more and more people have invested in the competition of the postgraduate entrance examination, the employment pressure of fresh graduates has not slowed down.In recent years, the number of fresh graduates of Chinese universities has continued to increase. In terms of employment needs of enterprises, in the 2018 and 2019 school recruitment season, many universities have reported large -scale recruitment of enterprises.The phenomenon of large -scale contracts has caused these students to be unemployed when they are not employed.

Facing the increasingly fierce competition of the employment market, graduates are also reducing their salary expectations.The 2019 freshman employment market prosperity report released by Zhilian Recruitment in December last year shows that the average monthly salary of graduates in 2019 decreased by 1%compared with the 2018 session.

At the same time, job search training companies have also become a platform for many graduates to enhance employment competitiveness.The person in charge of a job search training company providing online fees for job search training told us that the number of people seeking job search services from the company in the past two years is increasing.The reason is that the employment competition has intensified, and everyone has a higher sense of crisis and the motivation to improve; on the other hand, people's awareness of payment is also increasing. The person in charge said that the economic situation has been declining, and the training is the export of anxiety.

In contrast to the increasingly intense postgraduate entrance examination and employment competition, it is the enthusiasm for entrepreneurship for graduates to be sluggish.According to data recruited by the recruitment platform Zhilian, in 2018, only 4.78%of fresh graduates chose to start a business, a decrease of 1.32%compared with 2017, and the absolute number decreased by nearly 100,000.

Lin Qiang, who is about to graduate from a language university in Beijing this year, has considered entrepreneurial business with relatives. However, because he is worried about the risks brought about, he finally chose to sign a contract with a world -renowned accounting firm.Compared with the high risk facing entrepreneurship, the entrepreneurial support provided by colleges and universities for students is just a lot of money.

If you graduate to start a business, our college seems to give 1,000 entrepreneurial support, but this is almost the same as that. Lin Qiang said that as for the country's policy, it is good in itself, but to achieve the effect, you still have to rely on the entrepreneur himself.

According to the official notice issued by this college employment and entrepreneurship network, Lin Qiang's 1,000 yuan entrepreneurial support is actually a one -time job employment and entrepreneurial subsidy for college graduates in Beijing.The protection treatment, the parents of the parents in the poor families or the disabled cards of the People's Republic of China, I have obtained a national student loan in the graduation year, and I hold the support permit for the rescue of the special poverty.Although one of the above conditions can be met, there are still a few people who can really enjoy the policy of entrepreneurship subsidies.

Crazy resume

After the Spring Festival in 2019, there was a daily delivery resume near 7 million copies on the 58 -city platform.It is that starting in the fourth quarter of 2018, enterprises, especially small and medium -sized enterprises, have greatly affected the willingness to recruit.The number of recruitment positions has fallen and the number of job seekers has increased.

Behind the decline in corporate recruitment demand, behind the rise in resume delivery, it reflects the increase in the supply market supply, which also means that the difficulty of job hunting is rising.

This phenomenon of madly delivering resumes during job hunting also appeared in the process of looking for internships.Editor -in -chief of a large media institution told us that when she recruited social media intern in January this year, she received a total of 130 resumes, and the salary of this internship was only 1,000 yuan before tax.This post has recruited intern since 2015. He has never received so many resumes. The media person said that many of the students' majors do not meet the professional requirements of applicants stated in the recruitment notice.My guess is that the situation of these students looking for jobs is not very smooth, so I was anxious to make myself a stepping stepping tile for future work through an internship.

Internships are usually an important way for college students to enrich their job resumes and professional resumes. The internship experience in large companies and authoritative institutions is also an important factor that many companies consider when recruiting.When asked if he had summarized some job search experience, Lin Qiang, who had signed a contract, said: First of all, you have to find enough internships and write a resume beautifully.

Who is layoffs and who is recruiting?

Since the second half of last year, Internet companies, e -commerce platforms, technology companies, and real estate developers including NetEase, Zhihu, Alibaba, JD.com, Country Garden, Huawei, etc. have reported the news of layoffs.Although many of them have denied it, the atmosphere of anxiety is still shrouded in China's job market.The government work report released a few days ago showed that the Chinese economy recorded the minimum growth rate in nearly 30 years in 2018.

Economic downward pressure increases the decision of employment of enterprises.For enterprises with good profitability, economic downside means that financing may become more and more difficult. It is a question mark to maintain profit.As far as companies that operate losses, the economic downturn is also related to the life and death of enterprises.Therefore, layoffs and recruitment will be possible for enterprises to deal with the economic cold winter.

However, the impact of some corporate layoffs on graduates is not as cruel as the employees of the lay off.In recent media reporting, many companies have presented a situation of layout while expanding.JD.com confirmed that in February this year confirmed that the last 10%of the executives were eliminated, and soon it was announced that it would add 15,000 job demand.The dismissal of high -paying old employees and saved expenses are used to recruit young people with lower employment costs. This approach may make some fresh graduates seeing the dawn in the economic cold winter.

According to the data released by Zhilian's recruitment, in addition to the Internet and e -commerce industries, the employment prosperity of the banking industry is also declining.

Chen Sheng, who graduated from a undergraduate major in a university in Nanjing this year, did not pay attention to the larger autumn recruitment because he was preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but he said that the situation of the spring recruitment is not optimistic.The bank is lacking in system maintenance positions, and financial analysts require a master's degree or above.There is also a bank counter, but the salary is not very optimistic.A report in the British Financial Times associated the phenomenon of reducing the banking industry with the government's tightening of the government's supervision of the financial industry and the industrial automation work trend.

Under the economic downturn, educational and training companies still show the phenomenon of inverse cycle of the education industry in the employment market.According to data provided by the Education Institutional Education Education, the company enrolled more than 500 teachers in 2018, and planned to recruit more than 800 teachers in 2019.The average starting salary of the 2018 fresh graduates recruited by Xue University of Education was 5044 yuan, an increase of 5%compared with last year.However, this company also stated that since the autumn campus recruitment in 2018, the number of applicants and the number of resumes have increased compared with the previous years. Xue University of Education tells us that the teachers they recruited require that candidates must have obtained a teacher qualification certificate.However, some educational institutions do not have high requirements.In a new Oriental recruitment of middle school teachers, although the recruitment is the recruitment of mathematics teachers, the bachelor's degree is still written in the post requirements, and the major is unlimited.

Is it a pseudo -proposition?

A very interesting phenomenon is that even if employment is difficult to be put on the media agenda every year, there are always some data to falsify this proposition, one of which is the so -called employment rate announced by some universities.The employment of employment quality reports announced by these colleges and universities usually reached more than 95%of the employment rates, and there are not a few universities with more than 98%.However, because of the serious adulteration, in addition to providing gimmicks for college enrollment, and decorating the facade for the education department, there is not much reference value, and authoritative media will not be based on its basis when reporting.

Zhang Kai, a graduate of a political and legal institutions in Beijing last year, also worked as an internship screenwriter in a film and television company. He told us that because his internship's company was unwilling to issue a labor contract and the three parties agreement for him at that time, he was in the school statistics.Shi did not fill in the relevant content.Our team supported a detailed information for my company, letting me fill it out. In fact, the employment rate was fraudulent. Zhang Kai said, but the group branch felt that this was not fraud.

Relatively speaking, the employment data of third -party institutions is more credible.Also in the 2019 freshman employment market prosperity report, based on the big data statistics recruited by Zhilian, the number of corporate positions in the 2019 graduates increased by 81%year -on -year, while the number of job seekers rose 21%year -on -year, and the degree of employment prosperity was higher than last year.Based on this analysis model that is greater than demand, many people think that employment is difficult to be a pseudo -proposition.However, graduate Lin Qiang disagreed with this view.

I think this sentence itself is also a pseudo -proposition.Many students are based on the employment situation of seniors and sisters and their own situation.For example, they were admitted by many good companies last year, but this year's graduates are difficult to enter these companies. Lin Qiang said that there are some work thresholds very low, and you can find it if you want to find it.But everyone is not thinking about this dimension.
