What are the key issues behind the difficulty in finding employment for older college graduates?

Many college students complain that the job market is extremely poor these days, and finding a job is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky. At first hearing, it seems quite reasonable. Indeed, affected by the financial crisis, many companies are laying off employees, making it very difficult to find a job. A few days ago, I saw in the news that a female college student in a certain place knelt down to recruiters in order to get a job. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to find employment. However, there are reasons why things are difficult. Once the reason for the difficulty is identified and appropriate measures are taken, what was difficult can be turned into something that is not difficult. Why is it difficult? It’s not the difficult environment, but rather an individual’s abilities that struggle to adapt to societal work requirements. It is utterly absurd to claim that there is no demand for talent in society. Take the current financial market for example; those in finance believe it’s difficult to find a job, as there are few job opportunities available. However, not long ago, the bankrupt Lehman hired a group of financial experts to handle its bankruptcy assets. Isn’t this a job opportunity? However, such job opportunities are meant for true talents. For college students, what is the key issue behind the difficulty in finding employment? It’s a lack of practical experience and no practical skills. That’s why it’s difficult for college graduates to find jobs. If it’s not to be difficult, then this key issue must be resolved. Experience is accumulated gradually; it certainly cannot be achieved overnight. However, college students have plenty of time to learn *various practical skills. Many college students think they have nothing to do at school, and when graduation comes they complain about the high employment pressures in society; in fact, this is all their own fault. Judging from the current situation, on one hand it is difficult to find a job, while on the other hand companies are constantly hiring. My friend’s company kept hiring during the financial crisis, but only for talents in management software applications, such as implementation consultants. Because friends want to use technology to control costs. I originally wanted to recruit ERP talents from other companies, but it didn’t work out in the end. So we set up a booth at the job fair to give it a try. The fair was crowded with people, and many came to apply for jobs, but none of them had any experience in ERP applications. With no other choice, I wandered around the job fair when I suddenly came across a Yonyou booth. It was Yonyou’s affiliated education institution, Yonyou Management Software Academy, which was training candidates to become ERP application consultants, aiming to develop a group of mid-to-senior level professionals to fill the gap in such skills within the industry. A friend said that he was overjoyed at the time, thinking that the people trained in this way were exactly what his company needed. So he quickly left his contact information and reserved two spots for trainees, hoping that after they completed their training they would go to his company to help him develop its information technology capabilities. If you don’t want to struggle to find a good job after graduation, you should work hard while in school. Not long ago, when I attended the presentation on \"Management Software Application Consultants\" held by UFIDA Academy, I noticed that many college graduates this year were there to listen. It was only when talking to them that I learned they were planning to enroll in the full-time program for \"Management Software Application Consultants\" at UFIDA Academy. They told me that the reason for difficulty in finding employment is the shortcomings in my own abilities. By leveraging each other’s strengths, finding employment will be much easier. Judging from the current situation, it has become an inevitable trend for enterprises to adopt ERP. Last year, when the **Prime Minister visited UFIDA Software, he encouraged the company to keep working hard. Recently, on television we have often seen news reports about companies using ERP systems to improve management and reduce costs. As Asia’s largest manufacturer of management software, UFIDA is already adopted by the vast majority of enterprises in China, and it can be utilized in any company. Furthermore, the quality of the teaching staff and the standard of instruction can be guaranteed, and there are no issues with practical training or employment. So, there will be no problem finding a job by learning *ERP applications. I am very pleased to see so many college students who are able to understand themselves rationally, recognize the current situation, and promptly address their weaknesses – which is truly commendable. I believe that after receiving training, their employment prospects will improve further. In fact, it’s not hard to find a job. For college students, youth and passion are their greatest assets. With such wealth, if one focuses on improving their own skills, it won’t be difficult to find a good job. It is mainly about recognizing one’s own weaknesses, maintaining a proper mindset, having confidence in society, and being willing to put in the effort. Without effort, it’s certainly hard to talk about achieving results. So, stop thinking that finding a job is such a difficult thing. As long as you have the ability, it’s not difficult at all to find a job. Youth and passion are the greatest assets, but what about those older college students?

Yes, that makes sense; I support it. To be a useful member of society, one must prove oneself through ability.

In fact, finding a job isn’t difficult, especially for those with high educational qualifications, as many employers in China require a certain level of education. So first of all, it’s important to get the right mindset! We need not only high EQ but also high IQ.

Well, for ordinary university graduates, it’s still quite difficult to find a job this year. What the original poster said makes sense; I remember that yesterday in Xiao Cui’s meeting room, a woman said, “If they don’t give us any job opportunities, where can we gain work experience?” ” I think it makes a lot of sense; actually, this issue is not just the responsibility of students, but also a problem resulting from the disconnect between schools and social enterprises. . . .

There is no fairness in society; educational background is very important. I don’t have a degree, but that doesn’t mean I lack ability. So I don’t place much importance on educational qualifications, but they can serve as a reference to a person’s level of education.

Society is very practical; to have a chance, one must adapt.

Opportunities determine fate, but — opportunities favor those who are prepared, and this “preparation” refers to genuine skills and knowledge.

Both strength and waiting for the right moment are important, huh

First, find your own problems; don’t keep blaming others

Finding a job sometimes also depends on opportunities

There are so many Chinese people; those born in 85, 86, and 87 are particularly numerous. They are now graduating, and this coincides with an economic crisis

Some people in Taiwan say, “There are doctors everywhere in Taiwan, while masters are as worthless as dogs.” (Not my own words). Taiwan’s economy is more developed than China’s. Taiwan’s current situation is likely to be what China’s future will hold.
