A Survey Report on Chinese College Students' Career Values ​​and Job Hunting Psychology

After the survey, the "2006 China College Students' Career Values ​​and Job Search Psychology Survey Report" was launched, and the intrinsic motivations of college students' career choices and employment pressures were investigated in a targeted manner. The main findings include:
1. Three factors of Chinese college students' career value, development factors, health factors and prestige status factors influence the value of college students' career choices. The “personal development and promotion space” which belongs to the development factor has become the primary criterion for most college students to choose their careers. . Zhang Jianguo, president of ChinaHR.com and a well-known human resources expert, said that college graduates are in the initial employment period. The future development, material interests and other needs at the same time dominate the job hunting behavior of college students, and the institutions that promote the matching of college students and enterprises need Explain and grasp the value of college students' career choices from multiple levels.
2, college students' employment expectations are high, college students' employment expectations are generally high, especially in the expected salary. According to the survey, college students expect salary to be mainly 2000-3000 yuan, master's degree, MBA and doctoral degree are mainly concentrated in the salary position of more than 5000, and the median minimum monthly salary they are willing to accept is 1,800 yuan. According to the "Analysis and Analysis of the Employment Status of College Graduates in 2005" released by the Peking University School of Education in December last year, the starting salary of college graduates is 1333 yuan, the graduates of university departments are 1549 yuan, and the masters and doctors are 2674 yuan respectively. And 2,917 yuan. Obviously, there is still a considerable gap in the actual situation of college students’ salary.
Experts from the China Talent Network Research Center pointed out that this situation also confirms the assertion of the famous American educator Smith Holbert: because most college students think that their qualifications are above average, which leads to the overall income expectations. High. Zhang Jianguo said: "In a sense, the understanding of college students' own values ​​has been greatly improved, but it has not yet formed a rational expectation for their own income."
On the other hand, Zhang Jianguo also believes that the direct cost of direct college students receiving college education is about 10,000 yuan per year, and 40,000 yuan in four years. In this way, college students can only make up for this high university cost by keeping high-paying jobs in order to maintain the net expected return. Therefore, the high cost of university education is also an important reason for the high employment expectations of college students.
3. Two major factors have caused the employment pressure of college students. This survey analyzes the stress problems encountered by college students in the process of job hunting. It is mainly divided into two categories: one is objective and practical, such as fierce job hunting, family needs, love and It is difficult to balance good work, and Zhang Jianguo believes that these problems are difficult to solve through training or consultation. But for another type of pressure caused by subjective reasons, such as self-understanding, lack of job-seeking skills and experience, and thinking that their professionalism is not appropriate for employment, Zhang Jianguo said that these problems can be alleviated through professional training or in-depth analysis. .
It is worth noting that nearly half of college students are unclear, do not know what they are suitable for, and are confused about their future. ChinaHR.com pointed out in the report: "From the perspective of tackling the roots, we should reflect on the current education system. If we look at the standard, the relevant departments of schools and departments should communicate more with college students. Help them figure out the direction of their future work."
4. Internship training helps the employment report to show that nearly 80% of college graduates choose employment when they graduate; and the recruitment website is the first channel for college students to obtain recruitment information. However, whether there is part-time or internship experience has a significant impact on the employment of college students. In the survey, ChinaHR.com found that students who have no part-time experience or short part-time time during school are relatively vague and less likely to have job hunting skills and experience. However, college students who have had part-time or internship experience have relatively more access. For the sake of enrichment, employment pressure is relatively small.
Zhang Jianguo believes that this conclusion reflects the enthusiasm of college students in job hunting and the adequacy of preparation, and also provides a basis for improving the employment pressure of college students. Part-time or internship is a good preparation for future work, in the part-time process. The accumulated work experience will bring a lot of help to the formal job search to a certain extent.
