Why do a large number of job seekers spend a lot of money to get internship opportunities in big factories in order to enrich their resumes?
Some intermediaries will use the so-called guarantee offer as a selling point to publicize through student communities, forums, idle goods trading platforms and other channels under the banner of Internet giants, charging students thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.
Their target groups tend to be:
·Students who are lucky to go through the back door;
· Returning students who do not understand the job market.
All intermediaries who charge job seekers for the reason of helping them find jobs are not recommended to contact them. It is a high probability that they will be fooled.
- Paid internships are inherently problematic
It can be seen from Tencent's report that such behavior violates the high-voltage line of the enterprise and is not allowed.
Even if Tencent didn't make this announcement and had a little understanding of the recruitment market, one could see the problems of this type of intermediary.
The model of a serious agency is to charge the business, not the job seeker. Each company will formulate its own recruitment budget for the expenses incurred in the recruitment process, so each company recruits a position with cost accounting, and these costs are borne by the company.
The ability of job seekers to pay is far inferior to that of enterprises. If an intermediary wants to make money from job seekers, then whether it has a serious cooperative relationship with the enterprise, whether it has reliable resources, and whether it is a liar, all kinds of rationality must be questioned.
Enterprises will not cooperate with this kind of intermediary. When the intermediary charges job seekers, it will cause whoever gives money to recommend whoever, and whoever has more money to recommend it. The recruitment results brought by this model are unfair.
In addition, such intermediaries often use revising their resumes and guiding interviews to package their businesses, making the high fees seem reasonable. Don't be confused when encountering such routines.
- Don’t regard enriching your resume as the sole purpose of your internship
An internship experience at a large company can really make your resume richer and better-looking.
But the significance of an internship is not only for the resume, but also for:
·Connect with the society in advance, understand what the society needs, and quickly adapt to the society after graduation;
· Compress the trial and error period to the student days, and find your career direction as soon as possible.
For example, in Tencent's notification, the employees involved arranged for interns to conduct false remote internships. This kind of fake internship has no effect on students adapting to society and professional trial and error. It can be called an internship version of Truman's world.
Such intermediaries often create an atmosphere of introversion, create anxiety, and make students feel that they are useless and must spend a lot of money to get the so-called internship opportunity in a big factory, and finally pay for it obediently.
The more inexperienced you are, the less you should be opportunistic. The school's online and offline recruitment activities, the campus section of the recruitment platform, the job search website established by the government, the official website of the company, and the internal promotion of seniors and sisters are more suitable for finding internships.
- If you can't enter a big company, choose a systematic working environment
Larger companies are indeed a better choice when conditions permit.
But there are nearly 10 million new graduates every year, and entering a big company is like crossing a single-plank bridge with a thousand troops, and most of them will lose the election.
For newcomers who cannot enter a large company, try to choose a "systematic work environment", that is, work in a company that values organizational precipitation and newcomer training.
A systematic working environment is more conducive to shaping the professional habits and qualities of newcomers than a casual working environment.
The growth of most people conforms to certain rules. Companies with a systematic work environment basically find the rules of organizational training and organizational success, and become a way to inherit and cultivate, and pass on good work habits and methods to newcomers.
Today, when public opinion is more anxious, whether it is an internship or a formal job, the newcomers in the workplace should not be confused. Manage expectations, make career plans, and do what you can to create an environment conducive to growth, and everything will get better.
