Young people now are no strangers to job-hopping. According to China You

游客2024-11-06  1
问题         Young people now are no strangers to job-hopping. According to China Youth Daily, more than 20% of last year’s college graduates quit their jobs within six months. From the following news report, you can find more details about this trend.
        Write an article of NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which you should:
        1. summarize briefly the article;
        2. give your comment, especially on what push newly graduates to frequent job-hopping.
                                                                More Recent Graduates Job-Hopping
        Many recent graduates have already quit or are planning to switch from what are mostly their first jobs, a sign of shifting attitudes about employment among young people during the slowly recovering recruitment market.
        "We haven’t come up with a figure yet, but preliminary surveys have shown that a higher percentage of this year’s graduates have already quit their first jobs," said Luo Huiwen, a spokesman for Mycos HR Digital Information Co, which provides employment research for Chinese universities.
        The jobs that Luo is referring to are the first jobs that graduates take after college, not the first jobs they have ever taken.
        Last year, 10 percent of graduates left their jobs within six months, up from 9 percent the previous year. Luo said the figure this year could be at least 13 percent and said the job market’s slow recovery is mostly to blame for the high turnover rate.
        However, a possible shift in attitudes could also be contributing to the trend. Human resources experts say that young people are less loyal to employers amid the rapid economic growth and the surge in private businesses.
        Wang Yan, 26, who graduated with a degree in English from the University of International Business and Economics, left her first job as an assistant designer in a private Internet company based in Beijing to become a trademark agent in a national law firm.
        "My first job could not provide me with enough opportunities to practice my abilities and the salary was very low."
        Employment consultants said it’s understandable for new graduates who are not satisfied with their first jobs to act this way.
        "There are a lot of differences between idealism and reality. College students tend to have fantasies about the job they will do, however, they discover that real work is somewhat dull and boring in most cases," said Hao Jian, a senior consultant with the job website zhaopin.com.
        Some sociologists said frequent job-hopping is not good for young employees.
        "The students who choose to job-hop after graduation are apt to be caught between jobs since employers emphasize loyalty a lot," said Zhou Xiaozheng, a sociology professor at Renmin University of China.
        "A down-to-earth attitude is important for graduates to achieve success in their careers. I would advise graduates to work in non-desirable jobs for at least two years to accumulate essential experience, and then if necessary, they can choose the jobs they want instead of job-hopping."
        Xia Xueluan, a professor of sociology at Peking University, said the problem is young people want to quickly gain success after graduating.
        "People emphasize achieving success quickly too much. Students are told to be successful as soon as possible, which leads them to easily drop jobs when facing difficulties at work," Xia said.
        "Every profession has its own pros and cons. As for recent graduates, they should adopt attitudes of learning and cooperation when they deal with the work, instead of complaining about it."

答案                                                                 The Causes of Job-Hopping
        Nowadays, with higher request for material, greater ambition to succeed and less corporate loyalty, young graduates tend to easily drop their jobs when encountering difficulties. The article, however, points out that such high turnover rate, to a great extent, is an enormous drag on the recovery of job market. According to experts, young graduates had better work studiously and cooperatively with their feet on the ground so that they can succeed in the job market and finally achieve their goals. In my opinion, the upsurge of job-hoppers is resulted from two-fold factors-the assertive individuality and the availability of jobs.
        First and foremost, employees are more concerned about their individuality than ever before. Turnover is particularly rampant among young workers, many of whom enjoy more prosperity and have higher expectations of their careers. The mismatch between bitter reality and high expectations then leads to the fact that young employees constantly feel hurt and underestimated. Given this disharmony, it is only natural that they keep switching jobs and seeking a promising working climate for their expectations and sensitive esteems.
        Furthermore, more jobs are available than ever before and employees need not limit their career choice to one and only posting. Years ago, due to a lack of job opportunities, employees were content with one job and chances were that they were stuck with the job for their lifetime. However, gone are the days when we had to bear with the scarcity of jobs. If you are unhappy with your present job, you may hop to another with your head held up high. With the increased job opportunities, you might land a better job offer on the same day you resign. Therefore, people now do not easily get attached to their organization. Once a more attractive remuneration package is offered, they might switch to another job, a bigger pond for a big fish.
        In short, the individuality-mindset and the abundance of job postings in China attribute to the job-hopping phenomenon amongst the Chinese youths.
解析         材料围绕“大学毕业生跳槽频繁”的现象展开讨论，大致可分为三部分内容。总体而言，不支持刚毕业的年轻人频繁跳槽。
        材料前五段阐述了大学毕业生跳槽频繁的现象，指出高离职率（high turnover rate）是导致就业市场恢复缓慢的主要原因。这也反映出如今大学毕业生的态度转变（shifting attitudes）——对企业的忠诚度降低。
        第六至九段以及倒数第二、三段指出，大学毕业生频繁跳槽的原因主要是理想与现实的差距（differences between idealism and reality）以及一蹴而就的想法（quickly gain success）。
        第十至十二段以及最后一段是专家的建议，指出频繁跳槽不利于年轻人求职，因为雇主大多强调忠诚（emphasize loyalty）。毕业生想要在职业上获得成功，脚踏实地的态度（down-to-earth attitude）很重要。每份工作都有利有弊（has its own pros and cons），毕业生们应以学习和合作的态度对待工作。
