College students' active participation in student organizations is the embodiment of independence, but more and more freshmen's unprecedented enthusiasm for the student union is not as simple as exercising their abilities and promoting themselves. In the matter of joining the student union, freshmen are increasingly showing "maturity" that does not match their age. guide
Busy students can't hide their confusion.
Freshmen have just started school for two months, and Lu Tingting, who is a freshman in a university in Beijing, already feels that time is far from enough. In recent days, Lu Tingting didn't return to the dormitory until after 10 in the evening. She didn't go to study or participate in social practice, but in the words of university characteristics, she was "busy with the student union." The so-called "busy student union" generally refers to the behavior of college students participating in student activities. Every year, many freshmen actively participate in such activities and become "busy students' union" people with great face among their classmates, ranging from fellow villagers' associations where students actively plan to go to school to student organizations such as school-level and college-level students' unions and youth league committees, as well as various community activities. "Busy Student Union" is becoming more and more important for freshmen, and there are many people like Lu Tingting who have just entered the school and started running around. The student union was originally a student organization serving students in universities, but many students who actively joined it obviously valued more than that. In addition to exercising their abilities, student cadres have tangible and intangible "benefits" in postgraduate entrance examination, employment, joining the party, taking the civil service examination and even awarding scholarships, which is an important reason why many freshmen actively join the Youth League Committee or the Student Union after entering school. Compared with ordinary students, Lu Tingting's preparation can be said to be quite positive. In two months, she has joined the hometown association, the comic book club and the Youth League Committee of the Academy, and is now actively preparing to recruit students to participate in the school. She also met several brothers and sisters of the student union. Lu Tingting said that with their help, it became much easier to join the student union, which also facilitated future work. Speaking of the two-month rush, Lu Tingting told reporters that he didn't really like it. From the busy study and life in high school to such an atmosphere, she also has many unsuitable places. But maybe she was overwhelmed by the sudden emergence of a lot of free time, and she tried her best to try these unfamiliar things. "For two months, I don't know much about my classmates in my dormitory, let alone what they are usually doing. I don't know if what I am doing now will really make sense in the future. "When talking about these, Lu Tingting, who has always been mature and confident, still reveals a trace of confusion.
Strive to be cadres, students and parents.
There are many kinds of student organizations and activities. From the perspective of exercise ability, almost everyone can actually get opportunities. However, due to the different interests involved, these opportunities are half-jokingly divided into "several grades" by college students. There are many popular people, but few unpopular people. School-level "Student Union" and "Youth League Committee" are naturally regarded as "first class", while college-level "Student Union" and "Youth League Committee" are slightly smaller and classified as second class. And all kinds of community activities are regarded as "third class" because there are not many benefits. But for enthusiastic college students, the selection process is far more complicated than this division. For example, the "second-class" college-level student cadres are not so famous, but because they have more contact with teachers in their departments, they may have more direct "benefits" in such issues as grants and postgraduate entrance examinations, and their popularity is not inferior to that of the "first-class" college-level student cadres. Every year, when various student organizations recruit new students, similar trade-offs and considerations become a lively "political life" on the university campus. For the "maturity" of freshmen, Xiao Shu, a junior at a university in Beijing, lamented himself. He told reporters that after the student union started enrolling students this year, he had received many phone calls or emails from his younger brothers and sisters, and many of them had already completed their resumes. In order to get his contact information, many people also spent a lot of trouble. A younger brother even stood outside the dormitory building, and when someone came out, he asked if he wanted to join the student union senior in the department. Xiao Shu said that if he was not at school that day, I don't know how long his brother would have to wait. Xiao Shu also encountered something that made him laugh and cry. Because he is often responsible for the orientation of freshmen, many parents will greet them when they are ready to leave, hoping to take care of them in their study and life. And some parents, in order to let their children live a "smooth life" in college, "say hello" is no longer so simple. There was once a younger brother whose parents had to invite him to dinner before he left. After thanking me during the dinner, I cut to the point: my son has been admitted to a university in Beijing, and his home is far away, so he has no background here. I want to ask Xiao Shu if he can introduce the teachers of their Youth League Committee, preferably the teachers of the Youth League Committee. I hope that after school starts, the child can be a small cadre. The parent even hinted intentionally or unintentionally that if he can manage it well, he will definitely express his "mind" to Xiao Shu. "Now parents may be more anxious than children, otherwise freshmen will not value this so much." Xiao Shu sighed. "I used to join the student union just to exercise myself and do things for my interest, without considering too many rewarding and unrewarding things." Now the purpose of students and parents is much clearer. We must carefully measure whether it is useful in advance and then take the initiative. "
Resumes of cadres with high employment pressure will receive extra points.
College students pay unprecedented attention to the resumes of student cadres, and the most fundamental thing is to consider their future work. The employment pressure of college graduates is increasing day by day, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. Academic performance is no longer the decisive factor, and the comprehensive qualities such as personal communication ability, organization and coordination ability and teamwork ability are paid more and more attention by employers. In this case, students' work experience, off-campus internship and other practical experiences have become an important weight in the job search process. For college students, actively joining student organizations during college can not only improve their interpersonal skills and exercise their social adaptability as soon as possible, but also gain many direct "benefits". On the one hand, student cadres will get extra points in the final comprehensive evaluation, on the other hand, they can increase contact with teachers and classmates, which has many benefits for postgraduate entrance examination and postgraduate entrance examination. Nowadays, many units will take leadership and team spirit as very important assessment indicators when recruiting on campus. For college students, the most intuitive embodiment of leadership and team spirit is to participate in the student union and be a student. For example, in the campus recruitment of many units, whether they have potential leadership ability is ranked first in the selection criteria. Those students who have had leadership experience in school, especially those who have had experience in student organization such as student union and youth league Committee, have special advantages. In this atmosphere, it is not surprising that the upsurge of paying attention to the student union and actively joining various student organizations has gradually spread to junior students. After all, the university is the last platform to enter the society. The earlier you prepare, the more you can improve your comprehensive quality and take the lead in future professional competition. But for college students, this high enthusiasm should not be blind and casual, and should not join the student union just to add a resume. After all, the ultimate concern of employers is students' real personal ability and comprehensive quality. After investigation
72.5% of them are going to change jobs at the beginning of the year, and 69.45% of them are under the age of 30.
Recently, the reporter used the phrase "Job-hopping or sleeping?" A questionnaire survey was conducted on Shenzhen News Online. As of June 65438+ 101,* * 262 enthusiastic readers have filled in the questionnaire online. The statistical results are as follows:
Age group: among the readers who participated in the survey, there were 107 people aged 25-30, accounting for 40.83%; There are 75 people aged 20-25, accounting for 28.62%; There are 63 people aged 30-35, accounting for 24.04%; Only 17 people aged 35-40, accounting for 6.48%. Judging from this set of data, young people under the age of 30 accounted for 69.45% of the readers who participated in the survey.

This is a "job-hopping" season, and the air seems to be filled with impetuous taste.
"For those who have a clear goal of self-struggle and personal orientation, job-hopping is a ladder to realize the ideal of life. This benign flow of talents is conducive to personal development, enterprise optimization and social resource integration. However, a considerable proportion of job-hopping behavior in society is irrational and blind. Job hopping is no longer a springboard for personal development, but an indicator of mood. " This is an interview with human resource management professionals from Shenzhen Human Resource Development Research Association, Zhandong Talent Information (China) Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Yuan Jian Management Consulting Co., Ltd. They gave the same explanation for the phenomenon of job-hopping peak at the beginning of the year.
Investigation conclusion
Irrational job-hopping is particularly obvious among the post-80s generation. In a company that is recruiting marketing personnel, the personnel manager pointed to a pile of application materials and said to the reporter, "Look, after working for one or two years, I am busy jumping ship. How dare I want such a young man? I ran away before my ass was hot! " The reporter randomly took several application materials from the above and saw the following:
Cai Xiao, male, born in 1983, graduated from computer science: from March to August 2004, worked as a system tester in a technology company in Shenzhen; From September 2004 to June 2005, I worked as a network supervisor in a cultural development company in Beijing. From June 2005 to June 2006, I worked as a network manager and salesman in an international trade (Beijing) Co., Ltd.
Zheng Xiao, male, born in 1982, graduated from the School of Human Resources Management: from 1 in 2004 to 1 in 2005, a technology company in Shenzhen; From March 2005 to February 65438, a technology company in Shenzhen; From 1 to 1 1 in 2006, a consulting company in Shenzhen.
Xiaoguo, female, born in 1982, graduated from musicology education: from June 2005 to June 2006, worked as a sales assistant in a technology company in Shenzhen; From July to September, 2006, I worked as an account manager in a technology company in Shenzhen.
"Don't look, many of them are' QQ' people born after 1980. Few of these applicants can work in one position for more than one and a half years. " The manager told reporters. He used the words "busy", "blind" and "busy" to describe these young people who frequently change jobs: "When you ask him what he wants, he is at a loss; When choosing job-hopping units, it is blind and blind; He always feels that the next unit must be better than his current one, and he is as busy as a flea. "
1 Impulsive job hopping is not worth the candle.
Party: Xiao Huang, aged 24, with a bachelor's degree in finance.
After graduating from college in 2005, Xiao Huang entered an advertising company in Nanshan with a monthly salary of 1600 yuan through an acquaintance. Because Xiao Huang works in the finance department, he can see the salaries of others in the unit. He was very concerned about this situation and found that his income was the lowest among college graduates in this company. To this end, he has been looking forward to becoming a full member as soon as possible and raising his salary.
Xiao Huang was careless in his work, and made mistakes in accounting twice during the six-month probation period. For the first time, the financial manager only said, "Be careful next time." Later, a similar mistake appeared. The financial manager was a little unhappy and criticized him, but he retorted disapprovingly, "Isn't it just a few dollars?"
Half a year passed quickly, and Xiao Huang, who was waiting for a salary increase, finally became a full member, but there was no salary increase. In this regard, he is very dissatisfied. When he made the monthly salary report, he added 300 yuan to his column. A few days later, his behavior of giving himself a salary increase was discovered, and the personnel manager talked with him and severely criticized him. The company didn't fire him, but Xiao Huang insisted that "if I become a regular employee, I should get a raise", and left the company without saying hello despite repeated dissuasion from his family. It happened to be the Spring Festival, so he didn't look for a job.
After the Spring Festival, he stayed in the talent market for more than two months before finding a job in an electronics factory in Shiyan, Baoan, with a monthly salary of only 1000 yuan. Factories often work overtime, and interpersonal relationships are quite complicated. After more than a month, Xiao Huang chose to leave again.
Expert review
Don't always think about how others should treat themselves well. Han Fu, secretary-general of Shenzhen Human Resources Development Research Association, said: "Young people like Xiao Huang are not uncommon. They always think about how others should treat themselves well, but they don't seriously think about how they should adapt to society, the needs and requirements of employers, and how much they have paid for the enterprise. It is an irresponsible attitude for a company to quit if it can't meet the salary increase requirements. When you first start working, you must work hard for about two years, accumulate experience in doing things in the workplace, and don't care too much about pay. For young people who frequently change jobs, many employers will refuse to provide opportunities for fear of' instability'. "
Develop strengths and avoid weaknesses, and make plans early.
Party: Xiao Zhang, 28 years old, graduated from accounting.
When he was admitted to the university, Xiao Zhang's parents thought that accounting was easy to find a job, so they asked him to apply for the accounting major of Southwestern University of Finance and Economics. After graduating from college in 2000, Xiao Zhang came to Shenzhen to work as an accountant in a well-known large enterprise in Longhua. Repeated monotonous accounting work soon bored him. Due to the lack of interest and initiative, his performance appraisal results for three consecutive years are not particularly ideal, and naturally it is impossible to be promoted. Three years later, Xiao Zhang really couldn't stay any longer and resigned.
In order to change the environment and strive for better career development opportunities, he applied for the MBA of Xi Jiaotong University. After two years of full-time study, he successfully got a master's degree certificate, and then went to a private enterprise to apply for a job. After reading his work background and education, the recruiting unit arranged him to be the assistant to the chairman, responsible for the audit work. However, he resigned again more than a year later. To this end, Xiao Zhang himself felt deeply painful and didn't know what went wrong with him.
When he was an MBA major, one of his classmates was engaged in human resources research. His classmates gave him a test with behavioral statistics, and the results showed that his personality characteristics did not match his job.
Expert comment: Personality traits are the best match for work.
Huang Zhimeng, a senior researcher at Yuan Jian Management Consulting Co., Ltd. and 720 Leadership Research Center, told reporters about Xiao Zhang's situation: "This is a typical case of using non-strengths. When we say' long' here, we don't mean a person's major, but the advantages embodied in his personality traits. For example, an introverted person who is not good at words, if you let him do sales, he must be very painful, but if you let him do behind-the-scenes research, he may do well. Judging from Xiao Zhang's computer test chart, Xiao Zhang is extroverted and likes to express himself; Dominant, like to control things; Judging from the working mode, he is active and restless, belonging to the scene explosion type; Accuracy and patience are weak. People like him do accounting and auditing work in order to avoid long and promote short, which seriously distorts his character, so he will be so uncomfortable and unwilling to do it, and his performance will naturally not be ideal. He is suitable for dealing with people like marketing and public relations. "
Huang Zhimeng believes that personality and job mismatch are often the real reasons behind frequent job-hopping. Many people just don't know themselves, so they can only find their place in frequent job-hopping. Some people with high understanding soon realized it and thought it was right. Those with low intelligibility don't know why they are jumping after all. This has caused a great waste of human resources.
He suggested: "When choosing a university major and future career development direction, we must first understand where our strengths and potentials lie, and foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. This is a problem that needs to be solved in career planning. It is very common in developed countries, and career planning has just started in China. "
Why did you choose to jump ship at the beginning of the year?
There are 126 people who think that "there are many recruitment opportunities at the beginning of the year", accounting for 48.27%; 54 people have received bonuses, accounting for 20.68%; 8 1 person indicated "other reasons", accounting for 3 1.03%.
In recent years, Zhandong Talent Information (China) Co., Ltd. made a special survey on job-hopping. Recently, in the office of CEO Guo, the reporter got such a set of statistics (as of the end of 2005):
Job-hopping cycle: the average cycle from the first job to the second job after graduation from university or graduate students is 13 months, and more than half of them quit within 9 months; The average period of a little more than 30% is one and a half years; About 65,438+00% of the remaining employees have shorter working hours (less than 9 months) or longer working hours (more than one and a half years).
Job-hopping characteristics: among people aged 22-28, the job-hopping cycle is two years and nine months; Among people aged 28-45, the job-hopping cycle is 3 years and 2 months.
Judging from the current talent market environment in China, the average working life of a professional in a unit is 3 years, and those with an average working life of more than 6 years are already "ultra-stable professionals", accounting for about 20% of the total number.
expert opinion/advice
Mature people don't quit because of trifles.
The CEO of China Talent Information (China) Co., Ltd. thinks that as a professional, three questions should be carefully considered before job-hopping-where are my interests and advantages? Does my ability support this interest? If my ability is not enough, am I willing to continue studying to acquire this ability?
Guo said: "Under the circumstances that the current employment environment is not ideal for a large number of non-prestigious college students, when they look for their first job, their requirements are generally very low, as long as there are job opportunities. This choice is right. It is very important to enter the professional circle and gain workplace experience. However, when preparing to find a second job, you must be cautious. While doing our job well, we should also seriously consider the three problems mentioned above. "
He stressed that when choosing a second job, don't pay too much attention to salary at first, and don't measure gains and losses in too short a period. What you need to pay attention to is your own development prospects and opportunities, and you should have enough patience and perseverance to face the challenges and difficulties encountered in your work. "How high a person can go in his career depends on his mentality and actions when he encounters difficulties and setbacks. Bosses or company leaders like employees who are capable, positive and don't care too much about personal gains and losses. "
When talking about the reasons for job-hopping, he said: "This problem is very complicated. I can list 108 reasons, such as the road is too far, there are many thieves downstairs, I don't like the decoration style of the company, I don't like the management regulations of the company, and I have a bad relationship with the leaders. But generally speaking, there are four main reasons: pursuing personal career development; Think that you have been treated unfairly; Comparison and vanity; The objective environment has changed, such as the closure of companies, changes in personal living conditions and so on. " He stressed that a mature professional will not resign because of some trivial matters.
