Nervous, confused, worried about gains and losses… Surveys show that more than half of college graduates will have psychological stress in varying degrees in the process of job hunting, and many of them will be in a “sub-health” state.
At present, it is the peak of job hunting for college graduates. How to smoothly pass the period of job hunting psychological confusion and face the new challenge of first employment? In an interview with Yangcheng Evening News, experts from the Southern talent market summarized the following eight common job-hunting psychological “sub-health” according to the research on the employment psychology of college students in Guangzhou in recent years.
one of “sub-health”: dependence psychology
“Rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends when you go out.” this popular saying really affects the career choice psychology of many college students. Many college students are dominated by their parents or middle school teachers when they fill in the college entrance examination. When they are about to graduate, some graduates place their hopes of employment on the school and teachers, especially their families. This psychology makes some graduates have an obvious tendency to avoid responsibility in choosing jobs. They always want to rely on the school to provide information, the teachers to give ideas, and the parents to get jobs, thus relaxing their subjective efforts.
the second part of “sub-health”: conformity psychology
Some college students look for popular occupations at the job search site. When they see others applying for the examination or seeking employment for a certain type of enterprise, they rush to those occupations one after another, regardless of their own actual situation and social objective reality. For example, big cities, large enterprises, civil servants, etc. are all the hottest fields for college students to apply for jobs. Everyone follows the crowd and “breaks the head”. In fact, second – and third tier cities, small and medium-sized enterprises, etc. are now thirsty for talents, and they may provide more opportunities and space for college students.
the third part of “sub-health”: inferiority complex
There are many reasons for the inferiority complex, including physiological, environmental, family or social, but it is mainly caused by subjective factors. Introverted students are more common. College students often have different degrees of inferiority complex when they suffer temporary setbacks in the process of choosing a job or repeated setbacks in their job search. In particular, we can see that many students have implemented the work units at present, and the inferiority complex of some graduates who have not implemented the units will be more prominent, which will lead to psychological phenomena such as low spirits, frustration and disappointment.
the fourth part of “sub-health”: conceit
Contrary to their inferiority complex, some students overestimate their own strength because they can’t correctly understand themselves and society, are too idealistic about employment and career choice, have too high career trends and expectations, and are too picky about employers, which is divorced from social reality. This kind of excessive self affirmation, stubbornness, ambition and lack of self-knowledge may often cause them to miss good employment opportunities.
the fifth part of “sub-health”: the psychology of worrying about gain and loss
This year’s employment situation has taken a turn for the better, and the opportunities for college students to choose have increased, which will make some students with good conditions “fussy”. Career choice is often a grasp of opportunities. If you miss opportunities, you will miss success. It is also a psychological barrier that leads many graduates to fall into the wrong area in choosing a job.
“sub health” No. 6: film psychological stability
Influenced by traditional culture, more college students tend to choose the so-called big companies based on the stability of their careers when choosing jobs. For example, many college students from families of cadres and intellectuals often choose universities and scientific research institutions, believing that although their income is not high, they are safe and stable. This has virtually constrained the development of graduates themselves.
the seventh sub-health: utilitarian psychology
It is natural for students to consider the income factor when choosing jobs. However, some graduates pay too much attention to their immediate interests and do not give much consideration to their future development, which is also a psychological misunderstanding. In particular, in terms of whether the occupation is professional and suitable for their personality, many people only take income as a choice, or even abandon their majors they have studied for many years, and only take learning as a springboard to “find a good job”. With this mentality, you may not really be able to find a job that suits you.
the eighth “sub-health”: negative fatalism
although the response to the impact of the global financial crisis has gradually achieved results, the overall employment situation of college students is still grim, and it is still difficult to find an ideal job. From this, some college students also hold a negative attitude of accepting their fate. They think that “there are too many college students” and “college students are not worth money”. They simply understand that “finding a job before choosing a career” and feel satisfied when they find a job. This attitude will seriously affect their future development.
