It is said that "Golden Three, Silver and Fourth" is the golden period for finding a job, so many friends are looking forward to finding a good job and getting a promotion and salary increase in this season. But the reality is that the job search season in 2024 will be even colder than in 2023.
This year's "Golden Three, Silver and Four" is not very optimistic
There is a post on Maimai that has resonated with many people: a bachelor's degree graduate with a background in a large factory, and his job search in Beijing is full of challenges. Despite submitting a large number of resumes and interviewing nearly 20 companies, I still failed to get any offers......
There are also many people who say that they have been frantically brushing various job search platforms since they got up, and the result is only a few interview invitations, and they have been numb when they are rejected or unable to read back on major recruitment software, so they have to ridicule it as Boss direct deception, Zhilian lost employment, the future is worrying, and 58 is insincere.
Let's take a look at some more official information:
In the first half of 2023, the surveyed urban unemployment rate nationwide was 5.3%, while the unemployment rate for young people aged 16-24 was as high as 21.3%, that is, one in five young people was unemployed. Although no specific data has been released since August last year, there have been frequent reports of corporate bankruptcies and closures, suggesting that the unemployment rate may be higher. In the year-end interview, some experts mentioned that according to 58 Rubik's Cube statistics, the recruitment demand of enterprises this year has dropped by about 30% compared with last year.
In addition, the number of college graduates in 2024 is expected to reach a new high, exceeding 11.7 million, including 125,800 doctoral students and 1,050,700 master's students. There were 4,446,000 regular undergraduates, 717,700 junior college undergraduates, and 41,400 vocational undergraduates. There were 5,525,800 higher vocational (junior college) students (including 452,000 students transferred from five-year higher vocational colleges). These people are the main force of job hunting.
It can be seen that the employment demand and recruitment of enterprises have decreased significantly, while the number of job seekers is increasing, which is an important reason for the doubling of competition in the golden job hunting season of "Golden Three, Silver and Four".
Under the fog, "gold three silver four", "Internet talents" are in strong demand
Although this year's gold and silver seasons have been cold, and job seekers have hit a wall everywhere, there are also some positive trends that are worth paying attention to. For example, in the Internet industry, there is still a shortage of talents, and relevant talents are still the "sweet and sweet" of the job market.
According to statistics from data research institutes, the Internet industry is showing strong growth momentum worldwide. According to the International Data Corporation, the global internet economy will reach $14 trillion by 2025, accounting for 15% of global GDP. This data shows the huge size and potential of the Internet industry, and also reveals its ongoing demand for talent.
Nowadays, IT technology is not only limited to the Internet industry, it has penetrated into various industries and has become an important support for their digital transformation and innovative development. Whether it is manufacturing, finance, healthcare, education or retail, the application of IT technology is inseparable. This also makes various industries need to have relevant IT technical talents, which provides more employment opportunities and development space for IT practitioners.
Since the spring recruitment this year, the recruitment boom in the Internet industry has risen rapidly, and well-known Internet companies such as Meituan, Byte, Alibaba, and JD.com have started to grab talents, and recruited a large number of Internet technology talents such as R&D and algorithms for many cities across the country. And with the opening of the national "Two Sessions" in 2024, key hot words such as "artificial intelligence +", "new quality productivity" and "future industry" have become popular all over the network, and their related industries and jobs, such as artificial intelligence, big data, automation and other jobs are in strong demand, making the demand for technical skills positions increase rapidly.
According to data from the Zhilian Research Institute, in the third week after the Spring Festival in 2024, technical and operational positions are widely sought after, and the delivery volume of Jianli has increased significantly month-on-month. From the perspective of sub-industries, the IT Internet and real estate industries have gradually released job demand, and major industries have made concerted efforts. Computer software and IT services grew by 23.9% and 19.9% respectively in terms of delivery volume, ranking first and second in the industry.
It can be said that at a time when employment is difficult, there are still a lot of employment opportunities in the Internet industry, releasing a positive trend of job hunting.
Workplace Inspiration:
Seize the opportunity to move forward to the industry with a large talent gap!
With the rapid development of the Internet industry, the demand for related talents is also rising, such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, network security, software development, etc., which are all hot jobs urgently needed by enterprises. As a job seeker, if you can seize the opportunities of the times in 2024, participate in various trainings and courses, study hard, continuously improve your skill level, and ensure that you keep pace with market demand, you will definitely be invincible in the fierce competition.
You must know that more and more undergraduates are choosing to study in reverse and "return" to vocational schools based on reality and reasons to improve their competitiveness, and I think this is the best witness. Students, it is the right time to learn Internet technology, let us continue to explore and innovate, adapt to the development of the industry, continue to learn new technologies, and increase the chips for our careers.
