Members of the post-1990 generation looking for work apply for multiple positions and hold high expectations of the jobs, a reflection of young people's changing attitudes amid the country's development, recent research showed. When fresh graduates do snag a job interview, they are also more likely to miss it, turn down offers and have no qualms about quitting if the work is not to their taste. These were some of the main findings of research conducted by leading Chinese recruitment website 51job.com. Of those surveyed, 45.1 percent of employers said more than half of job candidates failed to turn up on time for interviews. More than 60 percent of fresh graduates also felt they needed help from their parents to look for work, the research showed. The website surveyed 2,357 enterprises and 1,230 fresh graduates nationwide over 15 days in 2013. Liu Jinjin, deputy director of the human resources department at the Social Sciences Academic Press, said members of the post-1990 generation are picky about employment and it was common for them to break appointments for job interviews. "Most of the post-1990 generation are the only child in the family. Their living conditions have greatly improved from that of the post-1980 and post-1970 generations. They don't experience much pressure in life so they pay closer attention to personal preferences and interests when hunting for a job," Liu said. The post-1990 generation also does not care about the amount of money they make. Instead, the working environment, the happiness they derive from their work and respect from others are what matter most, she said. "The post-1990 generation does not think twice about leaving in their first year of work. If they lose interest in a job or are not clear about their future career path, they will quit easily," Liu said. Members of the generation are also more self-oriented. They want more time for themselves and are not willing to work overtime. Their attitude to life is more casual, Liu said. Zhang Gao, the campus brand director of Chinese Internet search giant Baidu, said a survey it conducted this year found that the post-1990 generation focus on work-life balance. "They need some space when they work and don't want to be managed too strictly," Zhang said, adding that members of that generation often choose to work according to their interests and have their own ideas and views about work. Zhu Guangchuan, 22, will graduate from Sanya College in Hainan province this July. He told China Daily he is now working as an Internet salesman for a local travel company. "I chose this work out of interest. I think the salary is not the most important factor, and I focus on the opportunities for career development," he said. Zhu said he once received about five notices for job interviews but only attended the one he was most interested in. "My parents are open-minded, so they respect my personal choice," he said. Sun Wan, born in 1990, is a fresh graduate who majored in Japanese. She said 30 to 40 percent of her classmates are not working after their graduation. Many plan to go abroad or take up postgraduate studies. "I am not desperate for a job, although I have received some offers from employers. I plan to undertake a one-year training program in Japan then hunt for a job there. I like their corporate culture, and I also specialize in Japanese." Sun said she once had an internship at a hotel but gave it up because the work was very tiring. She said she follows her heart when job-hunting. "If I don't like the work in Japan, I will consider coming back home." Her family does not require her to work immediately, she said. Members of the post-1990 generation also pose challenges for employers. Feng Lijuan, the chief consultant at 51job.com, said members can access lots of information online every day and have many work opportunities, so they compare and deliberate on different positions and might not stay in a company for long. Feng said employers should communicate with their post-1990 employees regularly and provide counseling to help them solve problems. This generation is very sensitive and has a lot of self-esteem, so employers need to be concerned about their temperaments and ways of communication, she said. |
《中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)》報(bào)道,近期研究表明,90后找工作時(shí)會(huì)申請(qǐng)多個(gè)職位、工作預(yù)期也比較高。這反應(yīng)了年輕一代的態(tài)度在國(guó)家發(fā)展中發(fā)生改變。 當(dāng)90后應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生得到面試機(jī)會(huì)時(shí),他們會(huì)經(jīng)常錯(cuò)過面試,拒絕工作邀請(qǐng),只要工作不對(duì)味就毫不猶豫地辭職。 中國(guó)招聘網(wǎng)站“前程無憂”的研究中有以下一些重要發(fā)現(xiàn)。 調(diào)查人群中,45.1%的雇主表示一半以上的應(yīng)聘者沒有準(zhǔn)時(shí)參加應(yīng)聘。 前程無憂網(wǎng)站2013年進(jìn)行了全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)15天的調(diào)查,涉及2357家企業(yè)、1230名應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生。 社會(huì)科學(xué)文獻(xiàn)出版社人力資源部副主任劉津津表示,90后成員對(duì)工作十分挑剔,不去面試的情況也很常見。 劉津津說:“大多數(shù)90后都是獨(dú)生子女。他們的生活水平比起70后、80后有了很大的提升。他們沒有經(jīng)歷太多壓力,因此他們找工作時(shí)更注意個(gè)人喜好、興趣愛好。” 她還表示,90后也不關(guān)心他們的工資,而工作環(huán)境、工作中產(chǎn)生的幸福感和他人的尊重才是他們最關(guān)注的。 她說:“90后辭去第一年的工作時(shí)也不會(huì)考慮再三。一旦對(duì)工作失去興趣、對(duì)未來職業(yè)生涯感到迷茫,他們很快就會(huì)辭去工作。” 90后也更加以自我為中心。他們希望有更多自己的時(shí)間,不希望加班加點(diǎn)。 劉津津指出,他們對(duì)生活的態(tài)度更加隨意。 中國(guó)網(wǎng)絡(luò)搜索引擎巨頭百度的校園招聘負(fù)責(zé)人張高說,今年的一份調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),90后更加注重生活和工作的平衡。 “90后工作時(shí)需要一些空間,他們不希望管理過嚴(yán)的環(huán)境。”張高還說,90后的一代通常根據(jù)興趣選擇工作,他們對(duì)工作有著自己的想法和觀點(diǎn)。 22歲的朱廣川(音譯)今年7月將從海南省的三亞學(xué)院畢業(yè)。他告訴中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)記者,他正在當(dāng)?shù)氐囊患衣眯猩缱骶W(wǎng)絡(luò)推銷員。 他說:“我選擇這份工作是出于興趣。我覺得工資不是最重要的因素,我更看中職業(yè)發(fā)展的機(jī)會(huì)。” 朱廣川回憶,他曾收到五家公司的面試邀請(qǐng),但他只去了他最感興趣的一家。 他說:“我的父母都很開放,他們也尊重我的選擇。” 90年出生的孫萬(音譯)是日語專業(yè)的應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生。她說30-40%的同班同學(xué)畢業(yè)后都沒有工作。許多人都計(jì)劃著出國(guó)或是讀研。 “雖然我收到了一些公司的邀請(qǐng),但我不急著找工作。我想在日本參加一年的培訓(xùn)計(jì)劃,然后在那里找工作。我喜歡他們的企業(yè)文化,我也擅長(zhǎng)日語。” 孫萬表示她曾在酒店實(shí)習(xí),但因?yàn)楣ぷ魈鄱艞壛恕?/p> 她說自己是按著自己的心意找工作的。 “如果我不喜歡在日本工作,我會(huì)考慮回家。”她表示,她的家人并不需要她馬上投入工作。 90后的員工也給雇主帶來了挑戰(zhàn)。 前程無憂首席職場(chǎng)顧問馮麗娟表示,該公司網(wǎng)站的會(huì)員每天能在網(wǎng)上查詢?cè)S多信息,找到很多工作機(jī)會(huì)。會(huì)員們會(huì)對(duì)比、思考不同的崗位,可能不會(huì)長(zhǎng)久地在一家公司工作。 馮麗娟說,雇主應(yīng)該經(jīng)常與90后的員工交流,指引他們解決問題。 她還表示,90后這一代人十分敏感,自尊心強(qiáng),因此他們的性格和交流方式都應(yīng)得到雇主的關(guān)注。 (譯者 xiaoyhhuan 編輯 丹妮) 掃一掃,關(guān)注微博微信
