Another graduation season is approaching, and Zhou Xu, a fresh graduate of a university in Zhejiang, has received employment offers from many "big factories". During the battle between wits and courage among the same employers, he did not feel any special pressure. On the contrary, with the "back-tuning" made to various companies in the early stage, during the interview process of these five companies, "basically all the questions are under control."
In fact, as early as before the fall recruitment began in June last year, Zhou Xu had already clarified his requirements for the company and had a multi-faceted understanding of the company's relevant situation, and sorted it from high to low according to its importance: location, industry, platform size, salary level and corporate cultural background. After screening
based on this primary demand, only five or six companies were left before Zhou Xu. When the conditions of the remaining companies were not very different in various aspects, he finally chose to join a company that he thought was more dynamic and innovative.
Zhou Xu's job search experience is not an isolated case. According to media reports, a large number of graduates born in the 2000s will enter the workplace with new words, deeds and thinking. They not only do not obsess with the halo of large factories and dare to "say no" to overtime, but even "reverse background check" employers before interviews.
is the main focus: graduates born in 2000 start to "reverse back-tuning" employers
In the job search process, "reverse back-tuning" is a very common link. This is the abbreviation of "background investigation", which usually occurs at the end of the interview process. The employer consults the applicant's graduation college, former company and other relevant persons to verify the authenticity of the applicant's background information. However, today's college students have given a "counterattack" to the traditional backtrack.
Chen Ran, a fresh undergraduate graduate from a key university in Beijing, had made plans for her future employment environment before looking for a job. She yearns for a relatively relaxed and free working environment, so she eliminates a large number of traditional companies. As a financial management student, for the purpose of improving her professional abilities, she ultimately set her goal on the Internet "big manufacturers" and well-known accounting firms.
On this basis, on the one hand, she collected information from the firm through the Internet, not only searched for information from the official website, but also searched for more sharing from employees in various types of apps. On the other hand, she used her holiday to intern in these firms, and personally felt the work environment and understood the work content. As a result, she finally signed an agreement with her favorite firm and was about to officially join the company.
"Reverse Back Tune" brings Chen Ran deeper thinking about career development. When he first entered university, major Internet companies were very attractive to Chen Ran and had a "halo" value. But as Chen Ran entered the senior year, she began to think about what she really wanted. "When I finally chose a career, although I was attracted by the 'halo of a big company', I still chose a place where I can improve my professional qualities in a targeted manner."
On the Internet, "reverse back-tuning" has even been summarized into different "ranks". The most basic operation is to check the company from various online app information and go to the recruitment website to learn about similar positions; furthermore, to find seniors or "friends" who have worked in the company to inquire about the inside story; the advanced version is to compare salary levels in salary tools, look at the company scale from the company's inquiry website, check the boss's background, and even look at the investors and their investment logic behind the company.
Li Li is a senior student at Peking University. He has had many internship experiences since his sophomore year. In addition to the first internship, he did not conduct special investigations because he was still in a "working novices" state, he accumulated a lot of "reverse back-tuning" experience in other internships: "First, analyze it directly through existing second-hand materials such as computers, magazines, books, documents, and Internet searches; second, relying on his own connections, in communication with friends and classmates, put himself in his shoes and feel the environment of the corresponding company. Among them, the latter is more important."Is "reverse back-tuning" common among college students? Yu Hanyu, a counselor at Hunan University, said in an interview with China Youth Daily and China Youth Network reporter, "In fact, this situation has always been among graduates. Over the years, we often encourage students to do "career interviews" in employment guidance, which is a kind of research on employers. The most common thing is to contact seniors who have already worked in the unit, or to understand the specific work situation, salary and position development on some job-seeking websites, forums, etc. "
" However, in recent years, as most of the graduates are born in the 1995s and 2000s, some of them have become more and more diverse, detailed and detailed in the back-tuning of employers. "Yu Hanyu said that this is because graduates are indigenous Internet users at this stage, and their ability and sensitivity to collect information are far higher than previous graduates, and the composition of graduates' employment satisfaction is more diverse and socialized.
takes the initiative: What did college students gain after "reverse back-tuning"?
In the "reverse back-tuning" operation, many college students admitted that this not only gave them a deeper understanding of the upcoming job positions, but also gave them a further understanding of the development of their careers and the planning of their life path.
When Li Li first saw the word "reverse back tune", he felt a little strange. In his perception, it is "natural" to actively investigate the company's background. But he also admitted that the company or unit is dominant in the process of job hunting, but this does not affect the initiative of the job seeker.
In his extensive communication, Li Li found that not all students have the initiative to investigate the intended company. "There are many people around him who are accustomed to studying before entering university, and are used to being selected, but do not realize their choices. "
" We should not be looking for a job, but looking for a job. "In his opinion, "reverse back-tuning" should not only be popular, but also necessary.
However, the students around Chen Ran will also actively understand the company's situation through various channels. Through "reverse back-tuning", they can not only screen out the companies they expect to join through salary conditions, employee characteristics, corporate culture, etc., but also take a certain initiative in the interview process. It is precisely through the investigation of the company's concerns that Chen Ran not only prepares interview materials in a targeted manner, but also actively leads the interviewer to himself. What I want to show to him.
allows me to take the initiative in job hunting, which is a view recognized by many college students who have "reverse backwards" in "reverse backwards".
Hu Pan graduated from a major in urban and rural planning at a university in Beijing. After working for a year, he was deeply grateful for his "reverse backwards" behavior: "Job searching is a two-way choice process, and even an indispensable part of the job hunting process. Early background check of the applicant company or unit can avoid many risks, so that his precious youth will not be wasted on blind choices. "
A teacher from the Student Career Development Guidance Center of Tsinghua University said that "reverse back-tuning" proves that students are capable and confident in taking advantage of job search. Why does this happen in
? The teacher said: "First of all colleges and universities carry out vocational tutoring classes, which makes students gradually feel that finding a job is very important. They also made themselves reflect and explore themselves, so that their personal traits and job needs can be matched. A concept that students will probably have after career consultation is that since they want to achieve human-position matching, self-exploration is one aspect, and understanding of the positions in the company is also one aspect. "
Reshape the workplace: using self-expression to force the workplace environment to change
Starting from "reverse back-tuning", this generation of young people are using their subjective consciousness to bring new atmosphere to the workplace.
Faced with many inherent workplace traditions, this group of college students are also resisting with a sharp edge. For example, in the face of the "flower culture" prevailing in many Internet giants, many of Li Li's classmates call it "a way to cut off social connections" and oppose it.
and even, they will have more "restless" plans. Although Chen Ran successfully joined the top accounting firm, she plans to resign after three to five years of work to continue her campus career.
desires equality, pursues self-expression, attaches importance to one's own legitimate rights and interests, and dares to raise objections... All of this will force enterprises to make changes and create a more reasonable workplace environment.
Teacher Liang, a counselor from Dalian University of Technology, observed that many companies are not opposed to the "reverse back-tuning". "I learned that classmates will conduct back-tuning of companies that they are interested in but do not understand. In fact, the companies also cooperate with the students' investigation, because the companies also know that some things are open to attract talents. Some companies even say, 'Don't make any effort, I'll send our things directly to you, you can see them for yourself', which will win some trust from graduates."
However, some college teachers suggest that college students should also understand rationally while conducting "reverse back-tuning".
Yu Hanyu said that her view on "reverse back tone" is two-sided. "Some students have relatively mature career development awareness, and have relatively comprehensive understanding of the industry, career, and market. They can analyze the pros and cons of each position according to their own characteristics, weigh the pros and cons of each position with a development perspective, and enter a team with consistent values and meeting their own development expectations to create more value. I support the choices of this part of the students."
"But I also see from the Internet that some students have not done their own analysis and rational understanding of the outside world. They look at some online information and evaluations more simply and subjectively, such as "average annual salary per capita" on the Internet, and people are persuading to withdraw from any company and position. In the process of reverse back-to-back, we must also adhere to the view that 'what suits you is the best', and we do not simply measure a position by whether you work overtime or not, or how much annual salary is." Yu Hanyu said.
"You must learn to swim in the water." Yu Hanyu suggested that if graduates have the opportunity, they can try to enter the target industry and position to conduct internship practice, truly experience the actual work content, handle relevant processes and links, face the problems that may arise in workplace interpersonal relationships and teamwork, experience different corporate atmospheres, adjust their expectations and goals in actual combat, and further guide themselves to collect and analyze information more scientifically and pragmatically.
