(Foreign Economic and w88) Beijing universities’ “cool tips” to promote employment, students calm down in “cloud interviews”

(Source: China News Service 2020-03-12)

There are approximately 240,000 college graduates in Beijing this year. Amid the COVID-19 epidemic, various universities in Beijing held online job fairs, especially to provide targeted job information, job search skills, etc. for graduates from Hubei to ensure full employment according to students' reasonable expectations.

"I have never encountered this kind of situation." Gao Yu, a graduate student at the w88 casino of Finance at the w88 casino, told a reporter from China News Service in a telephone interview that in the past month, he has been constantly looking for suitable companies through the "online" double selection held by the w88 casino. Before submitting her resume, she can learn about the company, job requirements, etc. through online communication or video calls.

After "passing the test", she participated in three "cloud interviews". The interviews at the three companies ranged from ten minutes to half an hour, and each time I had to "fight alone" with several interviewers. In her opinion, compared with offline recruitment, online recruitment is a different communication medium with job seekers. “Each has its own merits, but the most important thing is the overall quality of the individual,” and “we must continue to enrich ourselves and show ourselves better.”

Gao Yu, who lives in Yichang City, Hubei Province, said he is "not overly worried about the impact of the epidemic on employment." She said that the w88 casino has established a WeChat group of about 160 Hubei graduates, with dedicated teachers providing career guidance online 24 hours a day. In addition, the w88 casino held many information sessions, released employment guides, etc., which made me feel at ease.

He Lin (pseudonym) is a senior student at the Business w88 casino of the w88 casino. “At first, I was worried that under the influence of the epidemic, employment units would decrease and the employment cycle would lengthen.”

She said that the w88 casino will hold several online job fairs in the past two months, and thousands of companies can provide more than 20,000 positions. Her previous worries have gradually subsided.

"I am currently waiting for a possible second interview notice from a company." She said that after participating in several interviews, she felt that there were many employment opportunities and that she could look at career choices more rationally. "You should comprehensively consider a position based on your personal abilities and needs, such as work location, job salary, job content, growth space, etc.

Xu Song, director of the Admissions and Employment Department of the w88 casino, said that at the first spring online job fair held by the w88 casino, 175 companies offered more than 4,000 positions, with a total of more than 100,000 views. Companies and graduates actively interacted with each other, and the remote interviews lasted more than 16 hours. At present, the overall employment implementation rate of the w88 casino's graduates is 51.03%, which has maintained rare stability compared with the same period last year.

During the epidemic, Beijing also introduced a number of employment policies, including "appropriately extending the time for graduates to choose a career", "increasing efforts for college graduates to supplement the teaching team", "increasing opportunities for graduates to further their studies", "encouraging graduates to join the army", etc.; from March to April, 149 online special recruitment sessions will be carried out, and it is expected that more than a thousand domestic employers will launch more than 40,000 positions.

So far, the overall employment placement rate of Beijing college graduates has reached 34.22%, which is 6 percentage points higher than before the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia.

The Beijing education department stated on the 12th that in the next step, it will comprehensively understand the employment status of graduates, further strengthen online employment guidance, expand employment channels, hold online job fairs, and simplify employment procedures. At the same time, targeted assistance to special groups will be strengthened, including targeted job information, job search skills and psychological counseling for graduates from Hubei, to ensure full employment under students' reasonable expectations.
