For graduates, the greatest blessing is to find a good job.

But the reality is that in recent years, the voice that it is difficult for college students to find a job has become louder and louder - with the expansion of college enrollment, the number of graduates has been increasing year by year, but the employment rate has been declining year by year.

The emergence of phenomena such as "employ first and then choose a career", "graduates' salary plummet" and even "zero-wage employment" and "waiting for a job" are all reflections of the severe employment situation.

In 2007, the number of graduates nationwide reached 4.95 million, another record high. What is their employment status like? How do they feel after taking up the job? What about "salary"? This magazine took six months to issue paper questionnaires.

In two forms, and online questionnaires, a survey was conducted on the employment status of 1T major graduates in 2006 and 2007. The survey subjects covered 22 provinces/municipalities across the country, and 2,000 paper questionnaires (excluding online questionnaires) were distributed. ***

983 valid questionnaires were recovered, and at the same time, survey subjects were selected for face-to-face interviews through sampling.

We will use the data obtained from the survey to truly present to readers the employment situation of IT college students in 2007.

2007: The employment situation is not optimistic. Data released by the Ministry of Education show that the number of college graduates nationwide will exceed 5.5 million in 2008, an increase of 550,000 from 2007.

At the "2008 Social Blue Book Release and China Social Situation Report" held by the Academy of Social Sciences on January 3 this year, Li Peilin, editor-in-chief of the Blue Book and director of the Institute of Sociology of the Academy of Social Sciences, said that in 2007, nearly 5 million students in colleges and universities across the country

Among graduates, more than 1 million are still unemployed.

The employment problem of college students remains serious.

Regarding the time it takes for graduates to find a job, the results of this survey show that only 43.63% of college students found a job before graduation. College students who found a job after graduation accounted for 44.87% of the total number of respondents. By the end of this survey

As of December 31, 2007, 11.50% of college students had not found a job.

This set of data also shows to a certain extent that with the expansion of enrollment in colleges and universities in recent years, the contradiction between the increasing number of graduates and the relatively small number of jobs is still prominent.

Job fairs are still the main way to find employment. Faced with the severe employment situation, college students are also actively working hard to find employment through various channels.

This survey shows that job fairs are still the main way for college students to find employment, with 43.01% of college students finding jobs by participating in job fairs.

College students who found jobs through online recruitment accounted for 15.15% of the total number of respondents, which shows that online recruitment has gradually become an important way for college students to find jobs.

In addition, 13.87% of the respondents said they found jobs through family and social connections, and college graduates who found jobs through school recommendations accounted for 10.35% of the total respondents.

This also shows that there are many college students who use their relatives, friends, teachers and other connections to find jobs.

More than 30% of college students have submitted more than 10 resumes. Regarding the number of resumes submitted during the job search process, only 27.32% of college students said they had submitted less than 3 resumes. College students who had submitted 4 to 10 resumes accounted for 40.55% of the total number of respondents.

, in addition, 32.12% of the college students surveyed submitted more than 10 resumes during the job search process.

Faced with the severe employment situation, many college students believe that to be successful in employment, they must first attract the "eyeballs" of recruiting units, so many college students choose to print their resumes in color.

A resume will cost more than ten yuan for a gorgeous one, and five or six yuan for a simple one.

All in all, just to make a resume, college students will spend as little as tens of dollars or as much as hundreds of dollars.

Through this set of data, it is not difficult for us to understand why the words "college students spend astonishingly on job hunting" frequently appear in major newspapers and websites.

Employment discrimination is still serious. Employment discrimination has always been a topic of concern. Many job seekers will encounter employment discrimination when looking for a job, ranging from age, gender, household registration to appearance, height, weight, disease, and even blood type and zodiac sign.

The Employment Promotion Law, which has been implemented since this year, clearly stipulates that, except for positions prohibited by national laws and regulations, employers shall not treat women, ethnic minorities, disabled people, carriers of infectious diseases, and rural workers who move to cities for employment.

etc. for employment discrimination.

But this survey shows that this problem still exists - for graduates, experience discrimination is the most encountered: 37.36% of the respondents said they have encountered experience discrimination.

In addition, there is academic discrimination (20.85%) and gender discrimination (14.58%). Among female respondents, the proportion of female respondents who have experienced gender discrimination reached 23.50%.

More than half of the people think that the employment situation of those around them is not good. Another data worthy of attention is that 56.52% of people think that the employment situation of their classmates is not good.
