Employment inspirational article Part I: How do college students gain employment competitiveness?

Nowadays, college students are facing the embarrassing situation of lack of funds, resources and experience. As far as employers are concerned, they hope to find management talents with both experience and projects, especially many small and medium-sized private enterprises. The talents they hope to find are versatile. Therefore, in the eyes of applicants, they are talents, while in the eyes of employers, they need to look for human resources and employees who can directly bring benefits to enterprises. Therefore, the recruitment standards and vision of employers are getting higher and higher, and the psychological expectations of job seekers are getting lower and lower. So how to solve this situation, that is, how to find a balance point and get the position you need as soon as possible? Have the following suggestions:

1, college students directly participate in social practice.

Social practice is not equal to social work. To put it simply, it is to participate in social practice in a targeted manner in combination with one's own major, one's own development direction and industries with potential markets. Many employers basically don't look at whether you have a CET-4 or CET-6 English certificate or a bachelor's degree certificate, mainly depending on what kind of social practice you participated in during your school days. For example, if your major is international trade, then your tutoring work is not a social practice in the strict sense, and your cosmetics promotion is not a real social practice. This is crucial and directly related to the choice of employers. In fact, if you have been working in your junior and senior year for a whole period of time, it will be quite helpful for your future employment. At least you can integrate into society faster than others and have 1-2 years of work experience.

2, whether to participate in targeted social training.

The school curriculum is basically theoretical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge is of course necessary, but if you take case courses similar to MBA courses, especially case design and discussion, thinking from the perspective of staff will be of great benefit to your future work, and at the same time, you can get certificates from relevant industry associations or national authorities, which will be icing on the cake. For example, you will be engaged in trade, commerce, marketing, online marketing, etc., and it will be a good choice to participate in the training of international e-commerce teachers.

3. A good resume is a stepping stone.

The employer attended a job fair and received countless resumes. How can you see your advantages at a glance? In addition to your social practice experience mentioned above, our recruiting unit hopes that you can express your advantages in simple words, without attaching some copies of graduation design or thesis, which looks like some professional manuscripts. Your resume should reflect your strengths. A thick stack of letters of introduction will make employers lose interest. Because the time of centralized recruitment is limited, I suggest you state your advantages in the most representative language, bring your success certificate or article and attend the interview.

4, a detailed understanding of the needs of the employer.

Through the advertisement of the job fair or the website of the enterprise, you can know the demand information of the relevant employer, and the job you apply for will be more targeted. Of course, we must understand the setting of relevant positions. Generally speaking, the job application usually needs to go through two links: administrative staff and department manager, so it is necessary to have a general understanding of the department's process, and it is best to express your views according to your own work practice.

5, choose small and medium-sized private enterprises as a breakthrough.

Although there is a great demand for employment in large enterprises, the promotion of posts and the refinement of division of labor among departments have led to poor comprehensive ability of many job seekers. Therefore, if you choose small and medium-sized private enterprises, you can give full play to your personal advantages in the process of versatility, and at the same time your personal promotion will be greatly accelerated, as long as your ability is strong enough and your mentality is good enough.

6. Self-exercise interview skills.

Exercise more in front of the mirror. Smiling, politeness and standard words are the keys to success. Just like many salespeople have to do role-playing, you can let your family and friends do it? Examiner? In the whole application process, the first five minutes of self-introduction is the key, remember that your advantages are closely related to the needs of the employer. Don't talk about smug topics or cases, which have little to do with your future work.

Employment Inspirations Part II: You are in your twenties. Are you employed or starting a business?

First, think clearly about what your core competitiveness is.

Compared with the period of reform and opening-up, the capacity model needed for entrepreneurship has changed greatly. Thirty years ago, starting a business required a sense of awakening, extraordinary courage, good contacts and gambling on the luck of the industry. But today, successful entrepreneurs can be simply classified into four categories: core technology masters, resource integrators, business model designers and super executors.

Among them, the core scientific and technological personnel can be regarded as people who have mastered hard power and can be obtained through academics and talents. The latter three abilities need more experience from top enterprises or business practices. For most people without talent, it is difficult to get it without paying full tuition.

The reality is that for the master of the first kind of core technology, whether starting a business or choosing to enter a large enterprise first, the result is almost the same, because he has mastered the scarce technology or patents of the whole industry, and even if his business fails, he will never lack pursuers, so the risk he bears is close to zero.

If Zuckerberg didn't choose to start a business, he should also be a very good programmer or product manager. If Li Yanhong fails to start a business, it will not affect him to hold an important position in any top Internet company. Therefore, for the master of core technology, the choice is easy, and I can travel anywhere.

But for the latter three entrepreneurs, things are not so simple. Most of the situations I have seen are that a classmate has been a student cadre or activist in the university, and his vision is broad and infectious. So he decided to raise the banner of entrepreneurship, set up a technical team and embrace the Internet, but the final result was often unsatisfactory. The reason is that his personal ability has not experienced too high intensity polishing, and he has gradually been marginalized by the technical team in the entrepreneurial competition led by science and technology, or failed because of insufficient resources and capabilities in the model led by brand and channel innovation. So knowing yourself is the first step in deciding whether to start a business.

Second, look at our macro and micro environment.

Entrepreneurship is a super sexy word with endless temptations, including myself and my friends around me. But for the fledgling young people, in addition to admiring this spirit of following the initial heart and going forward bravely, we still have to ask a few more questions in good faith: Classmate, are you really ready?

Speaking of the entrepreneurial environment in the United States, I believe people in the circle are envious. Companies like early Google and Quora now, which have no profit model in the eyes of ordinary people, are still madly sought after and firmly supported by many investors, and their core is the strong values and mission in the soil of Silicon Valley. At the same time, American legal system, social credit system and perfect intellectual property protection mechanism also provide a relatively relaxed environment for entrepreneurs. It can be said that in America, as long as you have reliable ideas, excellent skills and excellent execution, even God will help you.

For the domestic situation, things are not that simple. Compared with more than ten years ago, the supporting environment for our business has undoubtedly achieved a great leap, but several core issues have not been completely solved. Simply put, is your core technology strong enough to resist plagiarism? Can investors have the patience to believe that your project can be profitable instead of burning money all the time? Do you have enough IQ and EQ to wander between capital, customers and government?

Microenvironment refers to our own specific environment. We all know that only entrepreneurship can become Jobs or Ma Yun, but we don't know how many entrepreneurial bodies these two people have stepped on all the way to achieve hegemony. The success of entrepreneurs has a strong halo amplification effect, and it is easy for people to ignore those potential risks. Of course, I don't mean not to take risks, but I hope that each of us should evaluate our risk tolerance before making a decision.

After all, people who go out from big global companies have accumulated more capital, contacts and operational experience. There is not much economic and survival pressure, and the previous work background of top enterprises has also made a strong endorsement for bargaining in VC and PE.

To say the least, even if things don't work out for some reason, there will be countless companies willing to invite us back as executives. But for a fresh graduate, things are different. So my suggestion is to analyze the possible consequences of entrepreneurial failure before making a decision. If you are sure that the worst result is within the tolerable range, then do it!

Third, analyze whether the field you want to join can add value to yourself.

Many people like to predict the starting point of the next tornado, because if you catch it, you will not fly too low.

Take an example that happened around me: A and B are classmates in college. A has always been better and more obedient than B. After graduation, A entered the civil service system according to his parents' wishes, while B went to an unknown Internet company at that time, even one of the few employees with bachelor's degrees in that company.

A few years later, A has now become the deputy director, and B's Internet company has long been acquired by giants, but he has become the deputy director of leading enterprises in the same industry with his industry experience, and he has been harassed by major headhunters every day while getting millions of options. This is a very inspirational story, in fact, there is an anecdote.

They also have a classmate C, who got an offer from a top accounting firm and an offer from a start-up tire foreign trade enterprise when he graduated. After careful consideration, he gave up the career choice of fixed income and fixed path and joined the tire foreign trade enterprise because the industry was profitable and prosperous at that time. Until 2008, the United States introduced a trade bill to restrict China tires, and their business took a turn for the worse.

Today, C is still working as a sales representative in a tire company, and is working hard to prepare for the postgraduate examination of finance major in a prestigious school, hoping to return to the Big Four or work in a bank through re-education. Many students who chose to enter the Big Four in those years have already held middle-level positions in investment banks or VC.

At this time, you may ask, didn't he get the Offer from this accounting firm before? Why not apply directly? Actually, it is not. When we leave campus for a few years, the most important bargaining chip in job hunting becomes past work experience. The company employs management trainees to buy futures and bet on potential. Futures become spot, considering the skills you have accumulated in recent years. If the accumulation direction is wrong, it will bear the consequences of shrinking market value.

The above story only illustrates one truth. Whether starting a business or getting a job after graduation, a deep understanding of the industry and career planning are always issues that young people should understand as soon as possible. If you can see a booming opportunity, it doesn't hurt to give up your job in a big company. After all, the accumulated industry insight is useful. If you don't have a keen sense of smell and insight, you might as well slow down a little, join an excellent big enterprise, observe and learn patiently on a big platform, sharpen your will and accumulate chips, so as to sneak into the future and make a blockbuster.

The above three dimensions of thinking represent personal views for the reference of confused young people. Entrepreneurship is a wonderful thing, but it is not suitable for most people. Seeing more cases, many friends who tried technology gave up because of impatience or ability problems, and finally declared that entrepreneurship was not reliable.

In fact, entrepreneurship or employment is just a different direction of career choice in life. Different risks and different benefits have their own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is probably the most important thing for us to know our hearts, clarify our mission and improve our abilities.
