The chinese maritime university's examination list includes certificates such as english iv and vi certificates, performance broker certificates, and computer level ii and primary school teachers ' certificates, which are being prepared. For him, the test was like a search in the mist of career planning, with both active choices and the impotence of being held hostage。
Wang chi ming is a student in international economics and trade at henan university and has obtained a number of diplomas, including computer level ii, mandarin level ii, technical qualifications in accounting (primary level). Out of interest, she is also studying french and preparing for the relevant certificate。
Some university students choose to take all types of certificates at school, and the subject of “testing hot” becomes a hot topic. In recent days, the chinese youth newspaper, chinese and chinese school media, conducted a questionnaire for university students throughout the country, recovering a total of 3,595 valid questionnaires. According to the survey, 95. 52 per cent of university students have had a pass。
When the test became a "tide"
The certificate is almost “hard currency” in finance at the university of economics and economics, china. The experience-sharing of the seniors and seniors, and the advice of the senior members of the industry, have made it clear the importance of the certificate: “certificate in securities, funds, banks, futures is the threshold of entry, without which he cannot even enter the profession. The cfa (licensed financial analyst), frm (financial risk manager), cpc (registered accountant) etc. Are `optimal options' for the head investment and financial institutions.” in particular, he referred to the cfa, which, although more people have been tested in recent years, “the amount of gold appears to have been diluted, but it becomes a necessity, and if it does not, it will lag behind the other classmates”。
According to the survey, 84. 09 per cent of respondents chose to take the generic skills certificate, 63. 12 per cent chose to take their own professional, professional and 24. 62 per cent chose to take the career extension certificate. The examination appears to be becoming a “necessary option” for the academic career of some university students。
The vice-minister of science and technology and deputy secretary of the party for new generations of the university, fong yajing, has long been engaged in university employment services and career education. She has observed three significant changes in recent years: first, under-age, pre-settling and earlier planning of the required skills certificates for students, such as driver's licences before or after college, which are available from the fourth and sixth grades of the university; second, the proliferation of technology-oriented certificates, such as the surge in the demand for ai and big data series certificates, “which are driven by leading firms and directly linked to the recruitment needs for front-line posts”; and third, the increase in the heat of small-group certificates of interest, such as collectors, nutritionists, etc., which reflect the current trend towards diversity in university career choices. In addition, developments in emerging areas have generated some demand。
The survey showed that improving job competitiveness, increasing job-seeking advantages (84. 65 per cent), making up for the lack of expertise, deepening the understanding of expertise (62. 89 per cent), expanding hobbyes, enriching the extracurricular life (49. 93 per cent), being influenced by a fellow student or social climate (40. 56 per cent), and parental or teacher advice (31. 15 per cent) were important reasons for the student examination。
In fanjaqing’s view, the need for a career threshold, the advantages of time and opportunity, and the signs of policy incentives are central to driving students’ intensive appraisals. “the majority of students are based on planning and conscious action, but are wary of ‘perjury needs’.” fong ya jing stated that the test itself is a learning process that does not fail to clarify its objectives and that it is necessary to make reasonable judgements by combining individual timing, career selection plans, economic circumstances and industry trends。
Li huo, an internet company in beijing, was involved in human resources-related business, and she mentioned that the amount of gold in the job market varied slightly between different types of certificates. Li has explained that vertical domain certificates are necessary when they are tied to a job, such as the basis threshold for a professional technical qualification in accounting to a financial position, which is not valid for a job in the internet, product category, foreign language, computer-related generic certificates are essentially tool skills, and enterprises value practical applications。
Learn to use it as a target, avoid blindness and the wind
For ji hong fei, who is studying finance, it is difficult to obtain a certificate in finance - a total of 15 sections of the acca (international certified accountants) will take time and money to complete the 10 sections at the first and second levels of the cfa. Ji hong fei has his own rhythm in the certificate selection. Most certificates related to financial professions require higher academic qualifications and expertise - at the level of the cfa, which can only be applied for 23 months before graduation, at the level of the cfa, which is subject to the attainment of a degree of undergraduate studies, and at the level of the cfa, which has at least a master's degree. "now that i'm not in deep enough to study my specialty, it's too difficult to be blind." he plans to take cfa level four by the end of the year, after which he will receive a certificate of eligibility for the fund or securities in accordance with his professional orientation。
Yip wan, a pre-school education specialist at jilin teacher training university, is preparing a psychiatric certificate, which she states will enable her to learn systematic psychology during the preparation process, helping to identify the underlying psychological problems of young children in a timely manner in her future work and to address them in the right way。
Wang chi ming had a time of imbalance over the test. On one occasion, she also prepared a certificate of technical qualification (primary) in the accounting profession and a certificate of qualification for the securities profession, which took up a significant amount of time and led to a risk of being associated with the core course in the profession. The lesson had allowed her to adjust her strategy, and she had since adhered strictly to the principle that there should be no more than one examination for a term, and had actively balanced her studies and examinations。
A survey of young middle school media shows that recognition and gold content within the industry (69. 37 per cent), matching with professional or career planning (69. 01 per cent), practicality of certificates (61. 28 per cent), high and low preparation costs (44. 12 per cent), learning of needs during the examination process (35. 47 per cent) and heat assessment by the next student (26. 29 per cent) is the main basis for the student interviewed to judge whether a certificate is worthy of examination。
For the scientific assessment of the value of the certificate by university students, fang jie suggested that three options should be followed from an individual point of view: one is proactive and refers to a threshold certificate that is strongly linked to the individual's professional objectives, such as a teacher's qualification; the other is a reserve, which is included in the ministry's national vocational qualifications directory and in the local government subsidy project, and is used to build skills; and the other is driven by a choice based on personal interest。
“there are so-called certificates `placards' that are larger, such as international authoritative certification, which must distinguish between reliability and credibility.” fong ya jing suggested that the authority to verify certificates could take into account three aspects: searching for an officially certified catalogue of professional qualifications or lists of local government subsidized projects, checking the qualifications and legal disputes of institutions through tools such as testing, and checking the certification requirements in the job announcements for targeted enterprises。
As to whether practical knowledge has been learned during the examination process, zhang jia is saying that she can feel an improvement in her comprehensive literacy, “and has given me a better understanding of the profession to which the certificate corresponds”. Zhang soono, who broadcasts and chairs the arts profession at the chinese university of media, is very concerned about whether the certificate will help in future employment.” the fact that some certificates have only crossed a threshold does not mean that i really have a high level of performance, so i think i have to make the choice.”
In the eyes of ji hung, certificates and capabilities are mutually reinforcing. “our professional certificate examination is professional, and with a cpa certificate the firm will admit that you have excellent financial analysis; without a certificate, it is difficult to prove your strength.” but he placed more emphasis on “hard power”: “mathematical ability, market sensitivity are fundamental, and these foundations are the basis upon which certificates can flourish, otherwise it will be difficult to pass the workplace test.”
The survey showed that the improved professional knowledge and skills (75. 05 per cent), increased self-confidence in finding a job and improved personal competitiveness (70. 96 per cent), broadened the range of career choices (61. 20 per cent), enriched personal experience and satisfied interest needs (56. 08 per cent), etc., were felt by the respondents to be helping themselves with the examination。
Li's core criteria for judging job seekers with various certificates are job matching. “the holding of a certificate, while reflecting the ability to study or the direction of interest, is used in the job market only as a subdivision rather than as a decision, and enterprises are more concerned with the suitability of candidates and their willingness to study.” li also reminds university students of the “failure certificate” trap: “if the purpose of the examination was to prepare for the target job, but the effort was spent on obtaining irrelevant certificates, the employer could only send an `interest signal' and not become a real knock-on brick.”
"the certificate is a knock-on brick, and the road behind the door is paved by itself."
Having obtained a technical qualification (basic) in accounting, wang ki-ming was not content to place her abilities on this piece of paper, and she seized the opportunity to take over the management of the books of the school-based business associations. Over a period of three months, she had dealt with 87 flows of water, an experience that had made her deeply aware of the distance between basic concepts in textbooks and their practical application. She lamented: “the certificate is a knock-on brick, and the road behind the door is paved by itself.” wang ki-ming was accompanied by a sister who took five or six tests and was interviewed in the search for a job. She spent a great deal of her time on the test, failing to prepare for the exercise and thus losing her job opportunities. It was this that awakened wang ki-ming and reinforced his idea of “departing from the examination itself and doing more”。
In addition to the examination, ji hong fei believes that there are more important ways to improve personal competitiveness: “system learning of expertise is the foundation, and quality internships are essential. This is not for good curriculum vitae, but for real business to feel the current industry and environment, otherwise coming out of school would be overwhelmed.” he also referred to the importance of “socialization” and academic competitions, “which give you access to higher-quality resources and are more tangible than blind examination of some professional certificates of low relevance”。
The value of a paper certificate is greater than its hard power. “our profession needs more of the practical skills of writing, filming, editing, and the best proof of the work and abilities themselves.” in his view, the certificate was the appearance of strength, the capability was the inner core of value and needed to be mutually reinforcing. Zhang yoo-yo's career in broadcasting and hosting art is also a more practical subject, and she considers that “the absence of any more proof is more convincing than the experience of internships at the provincial and municipal levels, after all, the certificate is dead and the experience of practice is alive”. On her own media account, she can see her rich experience of internships。
According to the middle and young school media survey, 91. 57 per cent of respondents identified internalized knowledge skills as key to the certificate, rather than simply pursuing the certificate itself。
Fong ya jing believes that certificates cannot simply be equated with professional competitiveness. “the true competitiveness lies in `learning, testing, combining' and is reflected in the dynamic of problem solving, resource integration and communication adaptation. In addition to the hard power of internships, scientific research, competitions and so forth, all the practices linked to the real world are effective and require attention to soft skills that cannot be certified, such as resource integration, cross-cultural communication and the ability to adapt quickly to change.” fong ya jing stated that certification is a visualization of competencies, but not the only way to maintain learning awareness and enthusiasm, respond to and adapt to the rapidly changing external environment, which is at the heart of lifelong learning. On the other hand, higher education institutions should strengthen career planning through practical platforms such as business mentors and alumni resources。
The survey found that 68. 82 per cent of the respondents wanted a career planning and certificate guidance lecture from the school, 55. 94 per cent wanted the human resources concerned to interpret the true content of the certificate, 50. 43 per cent wanted the chief to share their experience, and 47. 09 per cent wanted a certificate information-sharing platform。
Li mentioned that the “certificate inflation”, which had been caused by the poor employment environment, was retreating, “as the market matures, job-seekers become more aware of their own direction, and certification behaviour is becoming more accurate”. With regard to graduates at a lost stage, she suggested that priority should be given to clarifying the boundaries of interest: “it is clear that interest can focus on the direction of capacity development, after which the amount of gold can be truly visible, both in terms of experience and the examination of certificates”
