Graduates’ Pressure in Finding Jobs

Nowadays, more and more university graduates complain that graduation does not equate to employment. They experience great difficulties finding satisfactory jobs. What is the cause of this phenomenon

In my opinion, there are four causes:

First, graduates lack experience. They spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and lack relevant job training. Only after graduation do they realize it’s hard to find jobs.

Second, competition among graduates grows more bitter and more bitter and bitter. The supply of university graduates exceeds social demand. This results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job.

Third, some students don’t study hard. Some of them skip classes just because they have no interest in certain subjects. Some play computer games or pursue other interests. Some sleep in class or in the library. Then they leave the sheltered environment of the university campus, to discover they don’t have adequate knowledge to apply for many positions, which makes them feel lost and frustrated.

Finally, some graduates are conceited. They lack experience but ask for a high salary, which is impractical.

So, university students should try their best to change this situation. When they are in school, they should make the most of their time and put their heart into their studies. They can hold part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant work experience. They should take part in some social activities and provide themselves with special training, if possible. When they graduate and apply for jobs, they should attach more importance to accumulating experience than to their starting salary.

On University Students’ Pressure in Finding Jobs

About a decade ago, university students could find satisfactory and enviable jobs after their graduation. But now, things are different. Today's university students usually have much pressure in finding fairly good jobs. They always say disappointedly that graduation means joblessness. Why nowadays university students have so much pressure in finding jobs?

In my opinion, this kind of pressure is mainly caused by three reasons.

Firstly, the government is enrolling more and more university students year by year. And the growth of the students' number has surpassed that of the need of the society. So, when so many students graduate at a time, the chance of finding jobs becomes tiny.

Secondly, today's university students, most of them are the "only-child", who are more mentally frail. Since they are indulged greatly at home and haven't been trained to do things on their own, once it is their turn to go out of the campus and find jobs by themselves and decide what kind of jobs to choose, they feel bewildered and don't know what to do. If their first try fails, they will be frustrated and think that it is really hard to find jobs.

Thirdly, some university students are not qualified for good and challenging jobs. After entering the university, they don't study as hard as they did in high schools. They begin to sleep during the class or even be absent for classes. Some are addicted to computer games or Jin Yong's novels, or step into the two-person-world too early. Because these things have taken up so much of their time and energy, their study is neglected. After four years of university life, they haven't gained the knowledge those fairly good jobs or certain positions require.

目前，越來越多的大學生抱怨說畢業和就業並不是一回事了。爲了找一份滿意的工作，他們經歷了重重困難，而出現這種現象的原因又是什麼呢？

以我看，原因有四：

首先，畢業生缺乏工作經驗。他們在學校的大部分時間都在學習功課，缺乏相關的工作培訓。可在他們大學畢業之後，卻又發現他們很難找到工作。

其次，畢業生的求職競爭越來越激烈。大學畢業生的供應大於社會的需求，其結果就直接導致了每個畢業生的就業機會的大大減少。

再次，有些學生學習不努力。他們只是因爲對某些科目不感興趣，就曠課不上。有的玩計算機遊戲，或者別的有意思的事情，還有的在上課時或在圖 書館睡覺。 然而，當他們離開這個與外界隔絕的大學校園環境之後，他們才發現他們沒有足夠的知識來申請許多職位，因此他們感到非常的失落與沮喪。

最後，就是一些畢業生非常的自負。他們缺乏工作經驗，但卻要求很高的工資，這個就有點不太現實了。

因此，大學生應該盡力來改變這種現狀，在校時，應該用心多讀點書，閒餘時間可以做個兼職工作，以提高自己的工作經驗；參加社會活動，如果有條件的話，還可以接受專業培訓；畢業後找工作時，他們應該要重視工作經驗的積累，而不是他們工作起薪的高低。

關於大學生的就業壓力

大約在十年前，大學生畢業後就可以找到令自己滿意和令別人羨慕的工作。然而，時至當今，情況發生的翻天覆地的變化。如果想找到一份不錯的工作，今天的大學畢業生卻要常常面對着極大的就業壓力。因此，他 們總是很失望地說畢業意味着失業。爲什麼現在的大學生有如此大的就業壓力呢？

我認爲，就業壓力的產生是以下三個原因所導致。

其一，政府每年都在擴招大學生，學生人數的增加遠遠超過了社會的需求。因此，每一次都有那麼多的大學生畢業，他們找到工作的機會也就大大渺小了。

其二，今天的大學生絕大部分都是獨生子女，而獨生子女在思想意志上又比較脆弱，他們在家受到嬌生慣養，也沒有接受過要自己去做事情的那種訓練素養，而一旦他們離開校園自己去找工作的話，他們就感到非常迷惑，不知道該做什麼。如果他們第一次嘗試失敗的話，他們就會有挫敗感，認爲找工作確實很難。

其三，一些大學生還不合格，並不勝任那些很具挑戰性的好工作。有些大學生考上大學後，學習就沒有上高中時那麼努力了。上課睡覺，甚者曠課；沉迷於計算機遊戲，或者金庸小說；有的甚至過早地踏入二人世界的生活中。這些都需花費很多的時間和精力，因此他們的學習也就被忽視了；大學四年之後，他們並沒有掌握到那些好工作或某一職位的知識能力要求。
