It is estimated that you are in the summer vacation of junior and senior year. I may not have any valuable information here, because all my information is out of date for you. I suggest you collect the latest information yourself. However, I can put forward some ideas that will not be outdated for reference:
(1) Personally, the employment situation in the shipping industry depends on whether the shipping industry is prosperous or not. A few years ago, the shipping industry flourished and ushered in the golden age of shipping development. Shipyards and design institutes are eager for talents. At that time, there was basically no difference between undergraduate and graduate students in employment, and it was easy to enter general research institutes and classification societies. Graduate school often delays time and misses opportunities for career development. However, some time after the American financial crisis, China's import and export suffered a huge impact. The direct consequence was that the shipping industry was in a downturn and the shipbuilding business suffered a huge blow. I won't elaborate on this. You can get a detailed analysis on various related websites. The performance in graduate employment is that all units seem to have little need for people, so it is difficult to find jobs. Now graduate students should try their luck and sign the units that undergraduates signed at will before. Therefore, if you want to analyze your future employment situation, you might as well start with the development trend of the shipping industry. Well, there is a lot of information in this field ~ I recommend a magazine "China Ship Inspection" and a website "Dragon Boat". Of course, there are many better sources of information. In addition, if the shipbuilding industry is said, its extension is actually very wide. For example, the offshore industry, which has developed vigorously in recent years, personally thinks that the prospects are very good ~
(2) The most important thing is to have our own strength. I said a lot about the market before, but after analyzing these, it can't fundamentally change the reality, because the market is beyond your control. And the most worthwhile thing for us to do is to ensure that we have the strength! If your strength shows that you are the person the other party needs, what markets and trends can stand you? ! No matter when, there will always be Bole, and there will always be companies willing to reserve talents. In fact, companies that can do this can develop in the long run. As for how to improve your own strength, it may be mainly up to you to think, but I will insert some of my own ideas in this regard later.
(3) Finding a job is actually marketing. Attention, not sales promotion, not sales promotion, but marketing! The following is the definition of marketing/view/3905.htm. In my feeling, The most taboo in job hunting is to simply think of it as looking for a company, writing a resume, submitting a resume, interviewing, and ............................................................................................................., or for marketing, and change the "enterprise" in the definition of the above website to "self", and you will understand what I am emphasizing. Here I recommend a book, Stupid decameron, which is not about work or graduate school, but about going abroad, but the ideas in it are universally applicable. I think, after reading this book carefully, you should be clear about the question "how to improve your own strength" raised in (2). I won't give you an answer here, because everyone has an answer that suits them best. The answer may not be the most important, but the most important thing is the thinking process. "For those of us who study engineering, what's the difference between graduate school and looking for a job in the future? How important is it for future work? " I didn't answer these questions, but I think I have explained the essence to you here. The answer belongs to your own thinking.
(4) You are not entangled in making a choice between graduate school and work, because you have already made a choice. What you are entangled in is that you need to know why you choose this way (here I apply the mystery of matrix, hehe ~). I think there are two kinds of graduate students, one is employment flow, the other is academic flow, and I am the latter. It should be said that I have no say in the former, because I dare not say what I know without deep thinking. However, one thing is always right-if I go to graduate school only to find a master's or doctoral job, I'm sorry, but I want to say that such people are escaping from reality and wasting their lives. Remember, HR people in companies worth visiting, people with sharp eyes, will only want people worth visiting, whether they are undergraduates or masters or doctors, whether they have graduated or not. You may not believe this now, in fact, many people at work don't believe it either, but when you believe this from the bottom of your heart, you will find that you have seen the essence of this matter clearly. So, what are we going to graduate school for? My answer-find yourself-> Transform yourself-> Sublimate yourself, it sounds hollow. I am an idealist. However, if you choose to go to graduate school, please be sure to know what you want to get in the past few years and what kind of person you want to be in a few years. Again, what kind of person has nothing to do with the title, but only with your heart and thoughts. Can the so-called slogans such as "ability training", "experience growth" and "knowledge reserve" become the goals of graduate school? If this is your goal, what about after you go to graduate school? What is the essence of these slogans around? I think you should understand that this question is for yourself, and I believe you should be able to answer it after reading this.
(5) Entanglement is the embodiment of growth. I said a lot as if I didn't answer you anything. If you really think so now, I'm sorry, even if I give you the answer now, what can I do? Did that answer satisfy you and convince you? Do you live for the "right answer"? Entanglement is a good thing, life is difficult to entangle, and many people have never had any real entanglement in their lives, so they never know what their lives are all about. If you are free, I suggest you look at the cartoon (non-animation) of Valley of the Wind, and maybe you will get more insights.
You don't really want me to answer your question, do you? Because the answer is already in your heart, but you want to know how to find it through thinking.
Good luck! ~
