An Analysis of College Students' Employment Prospects: A Comprehensive Survey

Abstract

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of China's education system, China's higher education has entered the stage of popularization, and the employment of college students has become a key issue of social concern. Through a questionnaire survey, this article finally surveyed 426 college students and 57 people in society. The results show that the most important things for college students when choosing a career are salary, benefits, and work intensity. When choosing a career, they care more about personal feelings. They expect employment cities to be evenly distributed. There is no statistical difference in understanding the society's salary for fresh college students (P>0.05). In terms of abilities valued by employers, the differences between college students and people from society are statistically significant in terms of professional abilities, communication skills, and teamwork (P<0.05), while in terms of academic qualifications, school performance, and personal interests, the difference between the two is not statistically significant (P>0.05). This article believes that college students should increase social practice, grasp social needs, and form a correct view of employment. Society should provide more opportunities for college students to understand jobs and increase work experience. The country should establish relevant policies to encourage college students to form a correct view of employment.
