Textile And Clothing Professional College Graduates: Internship Should Be Consistent With Their Career Planning.

Entering the June, graduates have already entered countdown.

Graduation, job search and employment affect schools, enterprises, society and government, and affect every graduate and their family.

How to find jobs and how to get jobs become the focus of their attention.

The urgent need to become a professional has become the first requirement for graduates.

Witnessing growth: our job search story

We are experiencing what we have experienced.

Qingqing, a famous fashion college graduate in Beijing, will graduate in 2010. Now he is looking for a job.

As schools are more influential in the industry, and also a large number of graduates have been pported to the garment industry, many enterprises have come to school recruitment, and Qing has also obtained many interview opportunities, but in the end, how to choose, she is still wandering.

Many students' work has been basically settled around Qingqing, and there are still some options for further study.

In the course of finding jobs, Qing Qing and her classmates found that information learned in universities and information obtained from interviews and internships can not be matched.

I am not sure whether I am competent or not, but Qingqing decides to choose a garment industry that suits my professional counterparts.

It takes courage to stay and stick to it.

We have experienced it.

Nana, after 80.

In 2006, he graduated from Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology and now works in a clothing company in Beijing. Her 4 years of working experience has made her a mature garment professional.

When recalling the experience of finding a job and adapting to work, Nana said, "finding a job after graduation is just like a college entrance examination. It is also a sight of a thousand armed forces crossing a single log bridge."

Looking for internship opportunities

When he was at school, Nana had already set his goal - working in the clothing industry.

Because of this, she has always been concerned about the internship information provided by the school.

"My first internship was when I was in junior year, I found the recruitment information in the bulletin board of the campus.

At that time, IKEA was going to move from Ma Dian bridge to the four yuan bridge. There would be a lot of things to do when the new shop opened. It provided some students who could learn to design, such as commodity display.

At that time, because of this opportunity, my own conditions just met the requirements, and I successfully entered IKEA internship.

IKEA's experience in merchandise display has brought a lot of benefits to Nana.

She thinks that even display assistants can improve their design ability and aesthetic taste, and combine them with commodity marketing.

Because art is still combined with commercialization to produce benefits, especially the designers of academies should recognize this from the internship.

"The work of the rose mill is entirely the work of my mind."

Because of the graduation, school is not very heavy, just prepare the paper.

I wanted to find an internship as soon as possible, so I paid attention to a lot of information on the website.

The rose mill was not particularly famous at the time, but because it was a designer brand and a high order, it was in line with my interest, and I put my resume.

Through several rounds of interviews, starting from sales (the sale of rose house requires design ability, according to the custom-made requirements of the guests, draw the draft of the design and put the order on the spot), and enter the newly opened shop in China World Trade Center.

So Nana started second internships during school.

Speaking of the time when he entered the Rose House, Nana said, "the first step in the advanced ordering studio is the different working atmosphere.

Luxury, privacy, and I feel that traditional clothing companies are very different.

In addition, in such a company, the designer's personal talent is highly valued, and the taste of personal heroism is somewhat personal.

Unlike the designer's brand, such a unit will have more room to play. As we know today, the customers of the rose shop are mainly political and business celebrities and entertainers. Relatively speaking, although the cost is also considered when designing, it can sometimes cost nothing in order to achieve results.

Nana felt that this position needs not only the design ability, but also the combination of design and market, which is a challenge.

At the beginning, Nana also had some concerns about whether he could fully adapt to the job. At that time, the store in China World Trade Center had recruited two sales, and the other one had several years of work experience. Nana was only a senior student at that time, and he didn't understand many things.

"Fabrics and crafts that are rarely touched in schools are all exposed to advanced ordering companies, and they also involve sales skills in their work, so I was very concerned about such internship opportunities at that time, and I went all out to get them."

After 4 months in the Rose House, Nana left the rose house.

For this departure, Nana thought he was still young and uncertain, and always wanted to see a ready-made brand.

So Nana found another chance. This is the famous white dress company in Beijing.

Before graduation, the white-collar workers held a special recruitment meeting at the school. I saw the announcement of the school.

After the end of the recruitment meeting, all the interested students filled out a resume, and I handed them in. I was interviewed by white-collar workers. The interview with white-collar workers left me a deep memory. I interviewed four times before and after.

Interview test

"For the first time, the director of human resources and director of various departments came to north to interview the selected students once again.

At that time, I was very impressed by the long queue outside the door, and even circling several circles. The questions were surrounded by learning experience and internship experience.

The second interview went to the white-collar headquarters, leaving only two or three people left.

The main body of the interview is the director and chairman of the company. First, he visits the company headquarters, then the chairman speaks. After that, everyone makes his own speeches and statements. Finally, the director of each department chooses separately.

"This question is not like the first time, far from professionalism, and more emphasis on the assessment of values."

Nana was impressed by the details of the two interview. After the end of the interview, dozens of students rose from the conference table to prepare to leave. Some students pulled away the chairs and left the chairs behind.

Later, when Nana entered the company, he knew that this was part of the interview.

At that time Nana put the chair back in neat order.

In the third interview, the twenty or thirty teams shrank to four.

Later, there was basically no further deletion. The Ministry of human resources informed Nana to go to the company to start work. This is the beginning of the probation period.

The fourth interview has an examination content, that is, to make a design work during the probation period.

This is to assess the designer's thinking and practical ability. If the design is not satisfied, the company will ask you to leave.

Nana said that there are many places in the headquarters of white-collar workers, and there are all the design works of past directors, which are very harmonious with the environment.

There are four brands of white-collar workers, and I enter into his senior brand name, golden collar.

My job is to do a work.

I chose a bright yellow chiffon fabric in the white-collar fabric library and made a high order dress with wrinkles.

I made this dress entirely on my hand plucking and working overtime at night.

After the work was finished, I found my director, and chose a diamond necklace in his gold display.

After the completion of the stage, the white-collar workers always held a ceremony, and the works of our four newcomers were brought out to the people of the whole company.

At that time, I was very nervous and didn't know whether my work could be recognized. This might decide whether I could stay or not.

The three of us (the new part of the marketing department didn't have to design) was carried out, first speaking their own design ideas, then the director's evaluation, then Miao summed up the words.

"It was the fourth interview, and I passed it."

Speaking of this, Nana is still fresh in his memory.

Nana later concluded that the purpose of the fourth interview is to see the ability of communication and coordination between the new and various departments through the process, design ability and practical ability.

Because this dress is entirely based on itself is not very likely, sometimes need workers to help, for example, looking for gold collar, borrow jewelry and so on need to have certain communication and coordination ability.

In the fourth interview, four people had a marketing department, a display department, a design department (Nana), and another design department, but not a student of North clothing.

Finally, three people stayed in white-collar workers that year.

Then Nana began his assistant work, which lasted for three months.

In the white-collar, even if the director level, weekend also must go to the station shop.

White-collar is a sales oriented company, which pays special attention to marketing, and is guided by the sales process.

Now it is a very interesting process for Nana to recall those days. In the half year of the white-collar, she did not rest all day.

Every Saturday and Sunday, I have to go to the store. Everyone has sales tasks. I feel very stressed. Nana's design career started from sales.

In addition to Saturday and Sunday, I usually paint sketches, select fabrics and other design assistants.

Employment choice

Six months later, because of physical reasons, Nana did not stick to the white collar and chose to resign.

But white-collar workers left a deep impression on her heart. The executive power, strict and detail attached to white-collar workers had a deep influence in Nana's later work.

After a period of rest, Nana finally decided to do a management job in a clothing company with a reputation and strength less than white collar in Beijing.

Asked her reasons, she said: "because it can be seen more widely, in addition to the design, I also want to have a comprehensive understanding of clothing enterprises."

From 2006 to now, 4 years have passed, so far she has no intention of job hopping.

In summing up the process of pformation from graduates to professionals, Nana gave advice to graduating graduates that they should try their best to enrich their vocational skills during the period of school, and interns must combine with future career planning so as to find suitable jobs.

CFW: China Fashion News

Nana: 2006 graduates of Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology

CFW: do you have a plan for finding a job before you graduate?

Nana: of course.

Before I graduated, I went to IKEA house and Rose House high order studio.

Later, in the white-collar job interview, these experiences have helped me a lot. I interviewed the four round, and finally, as the designer of the year, the only designer of the student entered the white-collar.

CFW: does the school provide enough job hunting skills to students?

Nana: to tell you the truth, higher education now pays more attention to the imparting of knowledge, but not to job search and skills.

Because our school is a prominent school, graduates are relatively easy to find jobs.

CFW: so what do you think is enough to learn in college?

Nana: the school is bringing you to the ground. Actually, you will encounter many practical problems that you will not be able to teach in your work.

You need to learn with your heart and get into the role as soon as possible.

In addition, if the vocational skills training is actively involved in the school, the company will no longer be a student, but a professional person.

When we graduated, the school provided a lot of employment information. My first internship was based on the information of the school. The inaugural training also participated in some schools, so our school did a good job in this aspect.

CFW: do your classmates find jobs difficult when they graduate?

Nana: there are also difficulties. Although there are various reasons, I think it is still not a very active factor in internship and job hunting.

Human effort is the decisive factor.

CFW: is it difficult to find a job if a student is unable to find an internship?

Nana: This is not absolute, but students with internship experience will certainly have advantages in finding units, because today's units are looking for work experience.

If all companies are looking for more than 2 years of work experience, who will accept the first 2 years of graduates? This is a strange circle, so graduates should accumulate experience in all aspects as soon as possible.

CFW: what impressed you most during your interview?

Nana: that was my third interview at white-collar. I did all the other things well, and I was very tired. I was late.

At that time, our design director wanted to hear my explanation in the interview.

I said: "such a well-known company, the concept of time must be very strong. First, I apologize for the inconvenience I have caused you.

I went to pick up my classmate first, and then we had a traffic accident on the way.

I am sorry to find that we have begun to roll call here, but I know it is useless. If you ask me the reason, I will tell you honestly. If you do not ask me, I will only admit the mistake, because I am late for late and do not mention any reason.

Then Miao said, this is a little obedience of the soldiers.

I did not pursue it. Otherwise, I would be disappointed if I was late for the interview.

CFW: what would you advise if you would give a suggestion to the graduating college students?

Nana: as soon as possible, I have a correct understanding of myself, enrich my vocational skills and make career planning.

College education: the cornerstone of graduates' job search

Faced with the problem of graduation and employment every year, we have to say that higher education curriculum is unreasonable, disjointed from social needs, and graduates' ability to operate is different from some universities to some extent, which affects graduates' employment in a certain degree.

The pformation of higher education from elitism to popularization is one of the important signs of social development and improvement of national quality.

Correspondingly, graduates must also undergo a process of pformation from elite to mass in the mode of employment and employment, that is, as a member of ordinary society, they can apply for jobs and obtain employment.

When it comes to college education, Professor Xiao Wenling, Dean of dyeing and weaving department of Tsinghua college of fine arts, said: "every school has different target talents, but higher education pays more attention to quality education, and training high-quality talents is the aim of most colleges and universities.

This is different from vocational education. Vocational education is clearly positioned to serve the industry and cultivate skilled talents.

Nowadays, undergraduate education is defined as basic education, so graduates are required to have the ability to adapt and lifelong learning, and to have the sense of innovation.

Mr. Xiao also said that Tsinghua college of fine arts will give lectures on students' understanding of their careers. People who are invited to give lectures are famous personages in the Chinese and foreign garment industry.

Some time ago, a new British designer was invited to give lectures in Tsinghua University. This is conducive to the broader professional vision of Tsinghua art college students and great help for the future development of students.

Bian Xiangyang, director of the Department of clothing department of Donghua University, said: "China's higher education advocates wide caliber, often not too strong.

This is because too much specialization will create new employment problems.

Therefore, colleges and universities are trained to adapt to many positions in the industry.

This view coincides with Zhao Ping, Dean of the school of dress art and engineering of Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology. He also believes that "higher education can not be too specialized, because there is still a difference between undergraduate and higher vocational education. Quality education in higher education is more important. We must attach importance to the cultivation of students' knowledge and broaden their horizons so that the future development of students will be broader."

Bian Xiangyang also pointed out that enterprises should undertake part of the task of cultivating students into talents. Only by working together with colleges and enterprises can we cultivate more talents who are in line with the actual needs of the industry.

Mr. Zhao Ping also has similar views. Zhao believes that there is a problem of efficiency in recruiting graduates. However, enterprises should not be too eager for quick success and instant benefits. They still need to start from the perspective of long-term development and social responsibility.

Zhou Tong, a consultant lecturer of the China Fashion Designers Association, said: "now that students in clothing colleges and universities graduate from school, they will find that teaching and business are different.

Schools pay more attention to some basic education, which makes graduates do not have the ability to post posts after graduation.

This situation causes students to explore the skills needed at work.

If a graduate works in a more formal and well trained system, he will master his skills in a certain period of time. If he goes to a company that is not very standard, it will take a lot of time and cost, but he may not be able to find the right direction.

Therefore, it is very necessary for graduates to do some pre job training.

Zhou Tong also believes that after the graduates' vocational education, the three parties need to work together. On the one hand, enterprises in the industry need to consciously train their graduates.

Second, it is necessary for some training institutions to conduct training in business skills for students in clothing colleges and universities.

The third is the change of institutions themselves.

Colleges and universities need a longer cycle to change, and the other two should play their roles as much as possible so that students can get more smoothly on the way to employment.

Job search and Employment: a correct and pragmatic attitude is the key.

For graduates, self recognition and pragmatic attitude in job search is very important for successful employment.

The reality is that the number of working age population is greater than that of the number of jobs available to the society. This situation has created employment difficulties for graduates.

But on the other hand, the degree of subjective initiative in the process of choosing jobs determines the difficulty of employment.

Professor Xiao Wenling, director of the Department of dyeing and clothing of Tsinghua college of fine arts, said: "the Chinese apparel industry chain is relatively prosperous. Therefore, as soon as the graduates of clothing colleges can learn, the adaptability to enter the business after graduation will be very strong."

Tsinghua Academy of fine arts has also provided many opportunities for students to contact with industry. Starting from sophomore year, there are internship arrangements every summer vacation, and there is a whole year's practice time in grade four.

Moreover, from grade two, schools will take students to study abroad, so that students can have a broader field of vision.

Tsinghua University is a comprehensive university, and some resources can be shared.

Every month, Tsinghua experts from various countries come to give lectures. This allows students to absorb many other professional nutrients besides their professional learning. This undoubtedly has great benefits for students' growth.

It is precisely because all aspects of the active efforts to create a good environment, Tsinghua art school graduates do not exist the problem of employment.

So far this year, every student has the intention of going to school and getting employment. There is no exception.

There are relatively few students in the Department of fashion design of Tsinghua college of fine arts, and schools are also well planned in employment. It seems that their employment problem can not represent a universal phenomenon.

What is the employment situation of the graduates of Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology in the clothing colleges and universities with a relatively large number of graduates each year?

Zhao Ping, Dean of the school of clothing art and engineering, Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology, said: "now the employment situation of graduates from Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology is still good. Students have basically confirmed their intention units, and the demand for employment is very good.

The annual employment rate of northern clothing is over 95%, and this year is no exception.

It is reported that the recruitment and Employment Office of North clothing will organize some courses every year, and invite specialized Human Resources Inc to give students career planning.

"The College of costume art and engineering will also organize lectures for students of the specialty, and provide guidance on the job characteristics and requirements of the industry.

These jobs began at the entrance of freshmen and continued to graduate.

And every year on the eve of graduation, more than 100 enterprises are arranged to recruit graduates. If students can have a correct career plan for themselves, employment should be no problem.

President Zhao Ping added.

Nowadays, a common problem for students who have difficulty in obtaining employment is to be inaccurate in their position and do not know what they want to do.

After all, employment is not a simple problem. It needs the attention of schools, enterprises and the society. Students themselves need to work hard to have a satisfactory solution.

The values of contemporary college students break through the barriers of traditional concepts and dogmatism, and begin to pay attention to self value. They begin to eagerly, boldly and extensively engage in various cultures, and begin to establish an awareness of opening up, information, efficiency, innovation, market, public relations and environmental protection.

The value orientation plays a key role in the employment orientation of university students, and it also causes some graduates to find jobs difficult.

Of course, the unequal employment of graduates and jobs is the key to the difficulty of obtaining employment. This helps to solve the employment problem of university graduates, involving all aspects. Therefore, it is necessary for students, schools, enterprises, society and government to work together and work together to make graduate students become a competent professional.

In recent years, China's higher education has gradually entered the stage of mass education from elite education. The number of college graduates has increased year by year: from 3 million 380 thousand in 2005 to 4 million 130 thousand in 2006, and then to 4 million 950 thousand in 2007.

In 2008, there were 5 million 590 thousand university graduates.

Coupled with the fact that 700 thousand of former students are not fully employed, university students are facing a huge employment crisis.

In 2009, the total number of graduates joining the job force reached 5 million 920 thousand.

In 2010, a total of 6 million 300 thousand university graduates, the employment situation is still not optimistic.

Yuan Guiren, Minister of education, said in a video conference on the employment of college graduates in 2010. "The adverse impact of the international financial crisis on China's employment has not been eliminated. If 2009 is the most difficult year for our economy, 2010 will be the most complex year. The employment situation at the whole macro level is very grim.

Then, the number of graduates in 2010 is 6 million 300 thousand, plus the number of graduates who have not yet achieved employment in the past.

Faced with this grim employment situation this year, university graduates should be prepared early, do information gathering work, find out the direction of work they want, and at the same time have to think clearly about what majors and places they can face.

It is estimated that in the next 5 years, China's economy will continue to grow at a rate of over 7%. In that case, the number of new jobs will reach more than 5 million 600 thousand per year.

Comparatively speaking, the employment situation of highly educated job seekers will be more favorable.

According to the survey data of the Ministry of personnel, it is estimated that the demand for university graduates is about 1 million 665 thousand this year, which is 22% lower than that of last year's total employment.

In addition, the average starting salary of undergraduate graduates increased by 9% over the previous year, up from 2000 yuan last year to 2185 yuan this year.

From the perspective of cities, the salaries of first-year students in the first tier cities are generally higher than those in non tier cities.

Take undergraduate students, for example, the average monthly salary of first-year undergraduate students in the first tier cities is 2500 to 3000 yuan. In non tier cities, the monthly salaries of fresh graduates in coastal areas are 2000 to 2500 yuan, and the monthly salaries of other non first-line cities are reduced to some extent.

Experts say the above data illustrate why first tier cities become the first choice for graduates, especially Beijing and Shanghai.

The remuneration level in both places is generally much higher than that in the North China region and the East China region by more than 40%.

Reporter's notes

Experience and knowledge

When planning a graduate's topic, it feels that the direction it writes will become a critical report, because the difference between higher education and working skills is far from its own feelings.

We attach too much importance to knowledge and neglect vocational skills.

But in the interview process, I slowly changed direction.

The reason is that communicating useful experience is more important than intense criticism.

Therefore, the final choice of job experience as the main body of the report, the article tells a story about job-hunting and employment, which is more realistic for the graduating students.

The narrator's experience is really wonderful. As the saying goes, life is often more wonderful than fiction. After listening to it, I feel the first. This story attracts me and benefits me.

I believe that Nana's story is being repeated by thousands of graduates or will soon be repeated.

To write stories is to encourage people who have experienced stories, and to guide people on the road of job seekers to guide a direction and to describe a possibility.

We have all experienced graduation, job search and employment, and we have experienced from confusion to clarity.

I have always believed that, in many cases, experience is more important than knowledge.
