Looking for a job, looking for a job... The last "big test" of the student era has finally arrived. The "graduating family" began to run around all kinds of college student employment and recruitment fairs, and some people were too busy to be tired of "arriving at every meeting". But what are the actual effects? According to the survey, in the job search process, on average, each graduate has to participate in 3-4 job fairs to find a "home", and even some are still "waiting for words" in the end.
How to save as much as possible at job fairs and find a better job? Experts believe that every graduate may wish to think before going out – how to make the job fair "work for me"?
Don't suffer from "myopia in the workplace"
Because the employment situation is not optimistic, many graduates hold the mentality of "first employment and then choose a career", feeling that as long as they find a job first, everything will be fine. Some people even do not hesitate to give up the professional direction at the cost, such as physics students applying for company clerks, learning education to do business marketing...
He believes that such a short-term career reward orientation is not advisable. Generally speaking, students should not give up their major when looking for a job, after all, it is the "capital" that they have operated for several years, and once they give up, it will cause great waste. It is better to keep the area of expertise "sustainable". If you can't find a job that is completely right, don't "go in the opposite direction", you can adjust it, play a "edge ball", find a job related to the profession, and once you have the opportunity in the future, you can also "do back to the old line".
In addition, the mentality of coveting a high salary or a stable job is also undesirable. When choosing a job, graduates should pay more attention to whether the job can enhance their "career competitiveness" and whether the job can maximize their work experience. Because in the development of future careers, rich and outstanding work experience is the most "heavyweight" weight.
Select the "Specialization" job fair
Comprehensive job fairs, special job fairs, foreign job fairs... A variety of job fairs are unfolding in front of you, dazzling. However, some job fairs, due to the "profit myopia", blindly pursuing income and lack of professional organization and recruitment forms, often hang up the sign of "stable work" and "hot industry", but the applicant has nothing to gain. Then, how to identify the "gold content" of the job fair, Mr. Bian Bingbin believes that the professional recruitment fair is an ideal model.
Job seekers most need to know who their future employers are, compared with the comprehensive job fair, the special recruitment fair pays attention to the relevant professional students and employers in related industries to "invite together", so that job seekers and recruiters are "like-minded", and it is naturally easier to "mingle".
Career counselors suggest that graduates, if a job fair company from the "three teachings and nine streams", the type of position is disorganized, then you can consider not participating. And some job fairs are "scattered", which is very suitable for their own major, so it is worth going. Therefore, graduates can participate in more job fairs oriented to "job definition", such as "IT industry job fairs", "marketing recruitment sessions" and so on. Some professional recruitment fairs may take the form of fees due to their strong pertinence and high operating costs, and graduates may wish to "break the fee" to go forward, and there may be unexpected returns.
Recruitment site "learning experience"
At several job fairs, the author noticed that there are always some graduates who," due to their lack of experience in applying, "dare not" take the initiative to contact recruiters, or are afraid that the questions they raise will make the other party disgusted and lose their job opportunities, so they only hand in their resumes and "run away".
Job fairs don't believe that "silence is gold." Career experts remind graduates that they should take the initiative to communicate with recruiters while handing over resumes. This can not only exercise their courage to take the initiative to "attack", but also in the other party's answer, understand the nature of the enterprise and the position on the spot, as the first-hand information of the applicant, and evaluate it together with other application materials.
The interview with HR is a great opportunity for candidates to gain communication experience. The so-called "stone of his mountain can attack jade", even if college students do not succeed in applying, they can listen to the opinions of others and understand their own shortcomings. At the same time, at the job fair, we should pay attention to collecting job information related to our own profession, especially some occupations that were not included in the scope of consideration before, and do a full job before the next job fair, and strive for a more perfect self-presentation, so as to find a job suitable for you.
