The gaokao is seen by many students as a unique opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives, and everyone aspires to be admitted to excellent universities, even those prestigious ones.
Getting into a prestigious school is not an easy task. There are currently more than 3,000 colleges and universities in the mainland, but only 39 of them are 985 engineering schools, while 211 projects include 116 schools, including 39 985 engineering schools.
It can be said that the competition for seats in prestigious schools is extremely fierce. However, successfully entering a prestigious university means standing at the leading position of the career starting line, especially in the current situation of college students' employment is becoming more and more severe.
The aura of a prestigious university can create more opportunities for college students in the job search process. When applying for a job, in addition to academic qualifications, there are also high requirements for the professional skills and abilities of college students. As a result, college students are devoting their time and energy to improving their abilities, but they often ignore the subtle issues.
A human resources director of a well-known company admits that the resumes of these college students will be eliminated as soon as they are glimpsed, even if they are excellent. It's May now, and spring is full of spring outside the window, and many college students have gone out one after another. However, for graduating seniors, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, they can't be distracted from it.
It's because they're busy with graduation, or they're working hard to prepare for graduate school, or they're busy submitting resumes and looking for jobs. There may be a number of students whose resumes are unknown, or whose resumes show that they have been consulted but have not received a response.
It is undeniable that it may be that college students' academic qualifications and personal abilities do not meet the expectations of companies, but sometimes it may be the quality of resumes that cause them to lose the opportunity to interview.
First, some resumes have obvious formatting errors. Good companies pay special attention to details, and if college students' resumes are incorrectly formatted even in the basic format, HR may think that they will make frequent mistakes at work.
Second, some resumes exaggerate the facts or do not match the actual situation. Although everyone wraps themselves up when making a resume, some college students may be over-exaggerating.
Some people think that HR doesn't know themselves, so they can write whatever they want on their resumes, but in fact, HR from famous companies is experienced, and they can recognize the authenticity of resumes at a glance.
If there are too many elements of exaggeration in the resume, HR may think that college students are not honest enough and simply eliminate them. The third problem is the overly generic resume.
During the recruitment process, every business receives a large number of resumes. During the screening process, they often look for resumes with unique characteristics that attract attention.
For those resumes that are featureless, obviously downloaded from the Internet, and have no highlights other than basic information, HR will feel that college students do not pay attention to the job.
For the above three types of resumes, HR clearly stated that there is no need to read them in depth, skip them directly, even if the students are excellent, they will not consider it, and the reasons cannot be refuted, so graduates need to pay attention to it.
How New Graduates Can Make Their Resume More Attractive The shortcoming of fresh graduates is their lack of work experience, so when writing their resumes, the work experience section is almost impossible to fill in, and many college students choose to leave it blank.
However, a blank resume will make HR lose interest, so college students should participate in more activities during school, or find an internship in a company related to their major during the winter and summer vacations.
By accumulating experience and understanding the content of professional work, this gives you an advantage over other fresh graduates with zero experience.
In addition, many college students earn some certificates while in school and fill them out on their resumes to prove their abilities. However, when choosing a certificate, it is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that you should choose some certificates with substantial gold content, such as Mandarin certificates, and it is best not to mention more common certificates, unless you are applying for a job related to teaching or broadcasting.
This is also a reminder to college students that when pursuing a certificate in college, they should choose a certificate that is highly compatible with their major.
In addition, college students should not give up looking for a job because of a few rejections. Some college students are offered an interview, but they don't perform well during the interview process and end up not getting a position. Sometimes this result happens again and again, and college students have been protected by their parents and schools, and when they face setbacks for the first time, they will inevitably feel unbalanced, and even breed thoughts of not wanting to find a job.
I hope that college students can adjust their mindset during the job search process and not be afraid of rejection. You don't have anything to lose except for a job opportunity. As long as college students take it seriously, they will definitely be able to get the ideal position.
Finally, I would like to emphasize: The current employment situation of college students is indeed grim, and they should strive to improve themselves during their college years, especially in terms of academic qualifications. After all, academic qualifications are a stepping stone to employment, and without this brick, college students will not be able to demonstrate their abilities.
