How do graduates stand out in the job market?

The new year graduation season is coming again. Do the friends who are about to graduate feel the smoke?

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, the number of college graduates is expected to be10.76 million in 2022, an increase of1670,000 year-on-year, with both scale and growth rate reaching new heights. With the impact of the economic downturn and the overlapping policy, the traditional "big households" that absorb graduates-education and training, real estate, Internet and other industries have been hit hard or are now weak, and they have laid off employees one after another, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and their ability to accommodate graduates is limited. Then, friends will definitely ask what advantages can make them stand out. Here are some of my employment experiences to share with you.

The first stage of preparation (mentality, certificate, driver's license, etc. )

Peace of mind but strategy.

Relax first and think about your advantages carefully. Don't panic. Investing time in yourself and making a good career plan can help you switch to a new role as soon as possible.

If you don't have all the skills you want, don't worry, just write down what you think you lack and how to cultivate these skills. We should cultivate this growth mentality, self-awareness and reflective ability.

Education-related certificates must be settled.

This is your magic weapon when you are looking for a job. Many enterprises attach great importance to the completeness of your certificate when recruiting. Such as computers, teaching resources, architects, justice and so on. Especially English, as an international language, if your English can reach CET-6, it will be a big advantage for your normal communication. Before my junior year, I finished CET-6 and IELTS, because some enterprises not only majored in English, but also some foreign companies participated in communication in English, so I took IELTS directly. I used it perfectly when I applied for a job.

It is better to have a driver's license.

Generally, large enterprises in first-and second-tier cities are still very concerned about the driving ability of their employees. I finished my driver's license when I was in college. Although it is of little use in the company after work, it is convenient to drive with a car.

The second stage (work preparation)

1. Clothes make the man (try to have texture and better quality)

The key to choosing clothes is to look at the job requirements, apply for banks, government departments and secretaries, and wear traditional and formal clothes; Apply for public relations, fashion magazines, etc. You can add some popular elements to your clothes to show your ability to capture fashion information. The most important thing in instrument decoration is cleanliness and neatness, and don't flaunt your personality too much. In addition to applying for entertainment and film and television advertisements, it is best not to choose clothes that are too abrupt. For fresh graduates, some students are allowed to dress up, even if they interview famous enterprises, they can wear leisure suit. Compared with formal dress, it has higher freedom in the collocation of fabrics, shoes and colors.

The specific analysis is as follows

Government: Suits with conservative colors are most suitable for interviews in government departments. Don't dress too fancy. At this time you should show that you are responsible, trustworthy and honest.

Human resources: Suits are also the best choice for interviews in human resources departments. Because the daughter-in-law looks professional and authoritative, and you have to look like you can solve any problem and be trustworthy.

Sales: Usually, a suit is the uniform for an interview in the sales industry. The products and services you represent will determine whether your dress should be conservative or fashionable.

Automobile industry: try to look neat.

Hotel: Image is particularly important in the hotel industry. Suits are suitable for some positions, but they are not always necessary. In short, we need to make a very good first impression on our guests.

Trade: business casual wear.

2. cover letter and resume

Companies may receive dozens or even hundreds of job applications. Resume is the first step in the screening process. Resume has several basic principles: don't stick to fancy templates, two pages at most, and don't use bright colors. Don't send the same resume to different companies. Resume should be consistent with the job description. You need to adjust each resume to understand what the company values and show what qualities you have that match the job description.

Use social networking platforms

Making good use of social media is very important for friends looking for a job. Keep your resume updated and related status published, add more alumni and seniors of the target company, expand your social network in the workplace, and ask for as many opportunities as possible.

The third stage (understanding the company)

Basic information of the company

When the company was established, its products, customers and competitive advantages with other enterprises in the same industry. ......................................................................................................................................................

2. Basic information of the industry

How fast is this industry developing? What is the competition in the industry? Who is the leader in this industry? What is the company's position in the industry? How big is the market of the industry? What competing products does this company have?

3. Enterprise management

Who is the founder of the company? Who are the executives? How is the management style? Corporate culture, system, etc.

4. Other circumstances

Are there any arrears of wages, etc. And what about the insurance benefits?

The fourth stage (the most challenging interview)

1. During the interview, you may feel nervous and upset your pre-organized expression language. At this time, you can tell the examiner frankly that you are too nervous. If you can pause for a moment, the chief examiner will understand you. At this time, you should reply to your feelings as soon as possible and reorganize your language.

In the interview, you may encounter sudden silence and embarrassment on both sides. This may also be set by hr on purpose. See if you can hold your breath. At this time, you must find the right strategy to deal with it. You can find some topics that hr is interested in and continue to talk, or continue to talk along the previous topics. You can also be generous and calm down, which may be a good way to deal with it.

If you make a mistake in the interview, don't be nervous and keep calm. If it's just a small mistake, you can ignore it and continue your speech. If you really say something wrong, you must correct and apologize in time, and don't try to correct it.

If you don't understand the question hr just asked you, don't pretend to understand. You can explain frankly and ask hr modestly, which will show your frankness and eagerness to learn.

All of the above require you to be fully prepared. Be careful. If you work harder than others, you will get something. I wish you success!
