Students need to learn the mentality of employment

By the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis triggered by the financial crisis has now spread worldwide , China was also swept them . Since the spring, students employment have become a topic of concern is high , it is not only the students one by one after ten years寒窗announced , also affect many families , many were hopeful parents of the heart, has become a national one Society, present and future weathervane.

Chinese college students in recent years employment has always been persistent , and this year is "A leaky house with rain every side . " Multinational business contraction , the employer needs tightening , so this has been difficult for university enrollment and employment situation , more difficult . In this current crisis , I interviewed several previous and current year as a Christian college graduates , the employment challenges facing their state of mind ?

First, rely on the heart

Cong is a small university graduate students in law , 2008 graduation, as a very fortuitous opportunity , she very smoothly into a very well-known foreign law firms , this job is very grateful for her experience . However, the impact of the financial crisis , she has less than three months of internship , he was the first to get fired . This unexpected blow quite lost her first , but then I thought, reward is God, does it not charge God? Heart will gradually calm down .

After months of quiet waiting , eager to understand the mind of God the process , she gradually realized that the original of this work has looked dazzling bright , but it was not her own interest, and one's own nature is not really suitable for this Jobs. She said to me: "God's way above our path , God's thoughts above our thoughts , God let me lose this job, with his wonderful kindness . "

So , since the intention of her job has changed , began to move toward the direction of a real interest in her career, re-planning . But so far, she cast out resumes have not reply . This situation, she did not deny a certain degree of pressure : "The key is economic pressure on it, because I love the banking sector is now practice , can be sure will not lose their jobs , unemployed if he has two people living in large cities will A very difficult . "

In this pressure, which the couple graduated from prestigious universities do not fall into depression and bitterness , but a beginning entrusted with studying and look deeper . " and not rely on force, rather than rely on the talent, but simply rely on God . Let us in the difficulties of life growing . This is also the God of this year, the biggest lesson I learned .

Second , preparations to establish the plan

It is a small college computer science 09 graduates. In February , he told me a few years ago the prospect of computer science is very good, but a few years more and more employment situation is not optimistic . Just happens to catch a lot of computer companies have laid off this year , substantially reduce or even abolish the campus recruitment program, so far, the class is also not a student find a job , everyone's attitude is very tense . However , as Christians, fairly quiet in his own mind , he believed that his road ahead , are in the hands of God , God will be ready for him . It is such a trust , precarious occasion , the young students seemed equanimity .

That he worries about is definitely the approach graduation , they find that they lack the professional equipment , " the theory and practice are out of line of Discipline great sense of what these four did not learn very valuable things , the employment of graduates in the fierce Competition, lack of advantage. " So, when most students are thinking desperately , utterly exhausted everywhere to resume when he goes back home to seriously study charge . Be considered " temporary deep envy of fish, as retreat webs "policy.

He said, "I think your job on the one hand, depend on God, but it is also necessary to discharge their duties and responsibilities. more need to be clear boundaries between the two : ask God to let me know what things need to be entrusted Free hand to God , what do I need to aggressive . " Therefore , he insisted every morning reading more spiritual laws of life to the Word of God to do feet and a light path.

"In fact, close to graduation , family expectations , the students of the tension, a variety of gray -line information will influence their opinion , there will be impetuous attitude of anxiety , full of frustration , at which point only by silent prayer Want to return to God. God always reminds me : Do not worry about tomorrow . one day at Tam enough . so I can have peace of mind to secure the challenges faced . "

Third , consumption of thinking

Wheat also graduated from famous universities and is currently a senior staff of well-known foreign banks , the financial crisis on the industry where the impact of her very large , every few days to see my colleagues , " off ", and results are all normal Not bad colleagues. She does not know which day will be next to go. After all, in crisis, layoffs equality . She will think the most realistic details of the problem: If it really was unemployed, and 1:30 would be difficult to find a new job , how to maintain their daily lives ?

Fortunately this time , she just participated in a Christian organization on the " biblical principles and financial management, " a series of lectures and benefit. Her to reflect on the past, the treatment work better paid, also more free to spend money shopping free , lavish ; now practice how to live within our means , saving, managing and planning their own financial plan . She said, " The aim of the course learning is not just to cope with financial crisis , but according to God's intention to adjust their living conditions , so their attitude and desire to become more pure simple substances . "

4 , responded to the crisis

Kobayashi is a student fellowship pastor young shepherd , he thinks the financial crisis spread to not only graduate in 2009 , it is 2010 or later sessions of the graduates in the long run , the younger generation college students Christians how to deal with the financial crisis , he gave some suggestions for reference.

First, from the knowledge and attitudes , through the financial crisis , to understand the situation of life , the situation in the world are in the hands of God , the initiator of the financial crisis , greed is the sin of the world itself , not the director of God Design , but God allowed to happen , is to give people more alert . And let us recognize the deeper truth behind the world's prosperity , the world 's nature is fragile , transient, changing , unreliable . The only thing we can trust the same God.

Second, from the specific situation , if you are a high threshold of the University of candidates , through the financial crisis , you can remind yourself deeper , in the choice of profession, not to blindly herd , drift , to make big money for the future whether Goal -oriented , but need to measure whether the profession can play their own potential , input their own passion , to the glory of God and contribute to society for the study objectives ; If you are a graduate of the college or the work of professionals in need Better value jobs, that work itself is the grace of God , even to their own posts and honor God ; if you are in a financial crisis in the unemployed, on the one hand needs to be turned to God, to believe " Flooding when the LORD reigns ; " On the other hand , a positive attitude to face reality , to equip themselves , following God's leading to find a new way out .

Third, from the concept of life , post-modern consumer culture increasingly eroded this generation of young people , also affected the church in young Christians . Rationalization in the sugar-coated shells of material desires , the young people today can understand the suffering of very few , very few can understand the meaning of life the simple life . Therefore , young Christians need in the current financial crisis, more alert , to reflect upon their own ideas about consumption. This is not only to " prepare famine " , but also to reflect on their own by " consumerism "and rule over how deep ? In accordance with the principles of the Bible , re- adjust their world view , values , consumption . At the same time , the church should also post-modern consumer culture more response and guidance.

In any case, wish in career choices , employment difficulties, unemployment and under pressure, brothers, sisters and friends , to God the Father , then , for the feet and a light , road light, all the way, a good journey !
