The Qualification for Job-huntingAt present, more and more people choose to take part in the entrance exams for postgraduate schools. A master degree is a degree obtained from a graduate program in which people specialize in a particular subject. Whether people pursue master's degrees to advance their careers, boost their educational knowledge on a certain subject or increase their salaries, enrolling in a master's degree program has a wealth of benefits. It also introduces its students to a world of new opportunities. When a person has a master degree, she tends to earn a higher salary than those who have only bachelor degree,When the Bologna system was introduced in 2002, the choice was made for a wide approach to the Bachelor degree programmers. An important reason behind this decision was to reduce the drop-out figures. By dividing the higher education programmers into separate parts, more people would have a chance to find a place in the labor market that matched their level of education. That included people without a specialization but with a Bachelor’s degree. That is ideal for people who are less suited to going on to a Master degree. But more and more people can enter the universities, more and more difficult for them to find a good job with the same conditions.Thus more and more people want to take part in the postgraduate examination to get a master degree so that they will have some advantages to compete with others. Generally speaking, there are several main reasons: First, the employment pressure. With the madness of the university enrollment, every year, the number of graduates is also increasing, In the face of university students over-supply situation, the options of the employer enlarged, and the employer became more critical to the applicants. So college graduates are forced to choose for entrance exams for postgraduate schools to increase the competition. Second, to achieve personal dreams. Those students want to pursue their ideals. They want to enrich their knowledge storage or increase in personal capacity or achieve their life values. Finally, there are some people choose to entrance exams for postgraduate schools because they feel they still young and do not want to go into the society too early.Although getting a master degree is beneficial to find a well paid job, it does not mean that all the students must take part in the postgraduate examination. But how the students improve their abilities to adapt to the society?In times of a tight job market and a precarious economy, many of us are feeling insecure when it comes to how to get out and pound the pavement looking for work. Many of the traditional “tricks” that we have been taught to rely on just do not suffice any long er and it can take much more than a professional-looking resume to land a decent job. Instead of giving in to despair, however, there are things that you can do to improve your ability to market and sell yourself to prospective employers, clients and customers.In to despair, however, there are things that you can do to improve your ability to market and sell yourself to prospective employers, clients and customers.Personal marketing takes practice. The more comfortable you become in talking about your skills and experience, the easier it will be for you to share it with potential employers and at networking and other events. Consider putting your pluses and skills down in writing first. It does not have to be a detailed or complicated script to start with, but it can be a chance to list out all the things you does well, your strong personality traits, and experiences that have helped shape you as an employee and an individual. Putting these items down on paper will help you get startedclassifying, claiming and retelling them as a “marketing pitch” with you as the star.It is important to realize once and for all that there is a big difference between bragging and promoting yourself. Many of us were taught not to “brag” or “toot our own horn” as children and trying to be modest and humble and silent can actually be a determent while on the job-hunting trail. Y ou must get comfortable not only talking about yourself, but telling positive stories where you actually “market” and “advertise” your experience, skill s, and accomplishments.Displaying the right energy and initiative is very important. Energetic people are credited with enthusiasm, vigor and drive and that is exactly what employers want. Most jobs require you to be proactive. Employers can easily evaluate this ability, almost as soon as the candidate enters the room. If you are not an energetic person, you should practice ways to look and act accordingly, in order to make a good first impression. It can make a huge difference; most of the time, job opportunities are won or lost on approach and preparation.Every job involves a set of specific skills and education or training, with the required background and experience. Most often, these skill sets are mentioned in the advertisement. If, however, they are not mentioned specifically, find out about the company and its hierarchical structure. This will help you to prepare to present specific abilities and initiative, creating a positive impact on the employer. Y our primary concern, once you have the list of required skills, should be to present evidence that you have those skills.This could involve your academic qualifications, projects and achievements. In addition, you need to project the capability to meet job responsibilities, work experience, voluntary activities and tasks in personnel management. The key is to try to match your skills and capability to the specific requirement of the employer. Highlight the relevant areas, since recruiters usually do not have a lot of time on hand and have to deal with a number of applications. They show interest only in particular skill sets that are required by the organizations that they represent. Make these skill sets noticeable. Precision and brevity are important too, but it is also important to highlight the skills you possess and how you can be an asset to the firm.So, with the development of science and technology, our society has entered the “Age of Information”. We have faced more and more pressure of employment. So we not only increase our knowledge of our major but also learn the knowledge about other majors. We must also be able to play computer and can speak English with foreigners.In sum, taking part in postgraduate examination is not the only way to find a well paid job. If we can learn extremely in our major and master a lot of useful skills for job-hunting, we can still find a good job only with bachelor degree.。
