Has workplace confidence been destroyed?

Thread Content

The workplace is not only a game and cooperation between people, but also a search and combination between companies and people. Searching is voluntary, combining is fate. Whether you can find your destiny depends not only on personal "charm", but also on whether "God" is beautiful. The so-called "God" refers to the workplace environment in which we live. External supply and demand are strong, and the workplace is naturally thriving. ； When the economy hits a trough, the workplace is bound to be on thin ice. And now this time * The global financial crisis has brought not only thin ice to the workplace, but also sleet, and a few hailstones may fall from time to time. There are many signs that the financial crisis has led to lower confidence among professionals in the prospects of the industry. A recent survey of 6,000 respondents by Zhaopin.com, China's largest recruitment website, showed that 64.4% of working professionals have average confidence in their industry, 14.5% have even lost confidence, and only 15% have confidence in their industry. Although this survey cannot reflect whether China's economy is in a downturn, it reflects the current common mentality of working people - pessimism, anxiety, and lack of confidence. In previous years, every winter, everyone would clean up their closets, donate or throw away their old winter clothes, and go to the mall to buy new coats and boots. This year is truly a cold winter. Many working people are holding on to their money and wondering whether they can cut down on their budget for winter clothes. Anyway, they have to wear whatever they want to get through the winter. “Let us hug each other to keep warm and spend this cold winter together. ” As a spokesperson for the workplace during the financial crisis, Zhaopin Recruitment CEO Liu Hao issued such a declaration. In fact, he is also the person with the most capital to say this, because even if it is affected by the financial crisis, the online recruitment market is still booming, delivering opportunities and hope to countless people who are struggling to find jobs. What changes has the financial crisis brought to the workplace? This is the topic of discussion between Liu Hao and I. There is no doubt that the employment situation of fresh college graduates is not optimistic. According to statistics from Zhaopin.com, many companies have adjusted their campus recruitment plans. For example, a recruitment promotion campaign that originally took two or three months to visit more than 20 colleges and universities may now be completed by visiting five colleges and universities a month. Enterprises are stingy in investing recruitment resources, which directly leads to the reduction of employment opportunities for college students. In fact, there are still a large number of graduates who are unemployed in 2008, and the army of graduates will come again in 2009, and the competition in the low-end recruitment market is becoming increasingly fierce. For professionals who have several years of work experience and have the capital to sit down and pick and choose, they should feel very lucky - we were not born in the worst era, so we should face the workplace with confidence. “The financial crisis caused companies to rethink their recruitment budgets and cut back on spending. Traditional recruitment channels such as newspaper advertisements have been greatly affected, and physical job fairs have also shrunk severely. In comparison, the online recruitment market has been less affected because companies are more likely to accept this relatively low-cost and cost-effective recruitment method. ”There is no doubt that Liu Hao is optimistic about his industry. The recruitment market needs optimism, and workplace people need optimism even more. Many reports claim that the Internet/IT industry has entered a "cold winter", which has made many IT practitioners or those interested in entering the industry secretly beat the drum. However, is the Internet industry really going to hibernate? As a leader in the Internet industry, Liu Hao once again carries forward his optimistic spirit: “The Internet industry is not yet in a cold winter, especially China’s Internet/IT companies, which have a strong ability to withstand attacks. Some early-stage companies that are in the start-up stage and whose business models are not yet clear may have problems, but for those companies that have survived the Internet economic bubble from 2000 to 2003, survival is not a problem, and recruitment plans continue. ” Overwinter, overwinter, companies talk about winter every day, as if they can get through the difficulties by laying off a few more people and hiring fewer people. If you don’t reserve talents, how will you survive the winter? There are about 28 million resumes in Zhaopin’s recruitment talent pool. Behind every resume is a heart that is eager to try. In the domestic online recruitment market, Zhaopin.com, China Talent Network, and 51job have formed a three-legged alliance. Together with industry websites such as China Foreign Language Talent Network and local recruitment websites, the entire online talent pool has hundreds of millions of resumes. When a crisis strikes and job hunting becomes difficult, how can you stand out from these resumes? Some tips you need to know: First, if you have three to five years of work experience, don't hesitate to note this on your resume. If you only write about 2000-2005, when the recruiter searches for qualified candidates using the keyword "five years of work experience", you may slip through the net. Secondly, clean your "office" diligently and "change the water" on your resume from time to time. Many job seekers post their resumes online and ignore them, waiting for headhunters to knock on the door. In fact, only resumes that are frequently updated can be ranked at the top of the database. In this era of eyeball economy, the better the position, the more opportunities. Again, don’t forget to set up a job searcher and include your favorite industries and positions in the search scope. They will come to your mailbox regularly. Even if these automatically provided positions cannot meet your needs, at least you can understand some of the dynamics of workplace needs and form a more reasonable judgment. With the above tips and an optimistic heart, what else do you have to fear? Even if God is not kind to you, don’t give up your efforts easily. Fight with confidence and use your charm as a weapon!
