2022年应届毕业生收获的不只是一张文凭,他们第一份工作的收入可能超过过去三年的毕业生。

求职网站Monster在最新的《毕业生现状》(State of the Graduate)报告中调查了美国18岁至24岁的1500名成年人,以及1000名招聘经理,分析哪些人能够在竞争白热化的就业市场上占据优势。这份报告的结果对刚刚领到学位证书的应届生来说似乎是好消息。

Monster引用美国大学与雇主协会(National Association of Colleges and Employers)的数据称,今年毕业季,公司招聘的2022年应届大学毕业生将比2021年增加26.6%。

2020年,新冠疫情导致公司招聘大幅放缓,超过一半应届毕业生表示在十分绝望的情况下,愿意接受比其认为应得的水平更低的工资。许多毕业生确实很难找到工作,因为美国大学与雇主协会发现,只有50%的2020年应届毕业生可以在毕业后六个月内找到工作。

如今时代已经不同:超过五分之四(81%)的应届毕业生或即将毕业的大学生有信心找到符合其职业目标的工作岗位。而且他们将获得更高的薪酬,因为有约四分之三(72%)的雇主表示过去12个月提高了初级工作岗位的工资。但年轻求职者可能还需要提高自信,因为有超过一半的毕业生(58%)依旧认为,在初级就业市场中,雇主占据上风。

但雇主并不认同:57%的招聘经理称目前掌握主动的是求职者,并且目前填补一个初级工作岗位平均需要四周时间,这比2019年增加了57%。

Monster的职业专家维基·萨莱米告诉《财富》杂志,Monster每年都会发布有关毕业生状态的报告,过去两年的结果不容乐观。“今年的报告结果非常乐观:大学应届毕业生现在能够有更多的选择,因为他们知道雇主极度渴望人才。”

曾经担任公司招聘人员的萨莱米表示,应届毕业生不应该低估他们的影响力,或者到底有多少招聘准则正在发生改变。“如果我现在看求职者的简历,我就不会再关注跳槽这种问题。”雇主们也认同这种观点,有50%的雇主表示不再认为跳槽是否定求职者的一个警告信号。

另外一个变化是:当求职者需要建议的时候,他们不太可能求助于学校就业中心或者萨莱米这样的专家。相反他们会求助于社交媒体:46%的毕业生表示会在YouTube或TikTok上寻找与求职相关问题的答案。

在Monster的调查中,应届毕业生对新工作岗位的灵活工作机会的重视程度,高于健康福利。求职者们重视灵活性和工作生活平衡,有38%的Z世代表示“永远不会”考虑不支持混合办公模式的工作岗位。

但应届毕业生关注的不只是居家办公。有三分之一的毕业生认为,雇主必须提供职业发展项目,以及多样化的团队和清晰的环境政策。(财富中文网)

When the class of 2022 graduates this year, they will be earning more than a diploma—they could stand to make more money in their first job than last year’s cohort, and the one before that, and the one before that.

For its latest “State of the Graduate” report, job site Monster surveyed 1,500 U.S. adults ages 18 to 24, and 1,000 hiring managers, to learn who really has the upper hand in the white-hot job market. It looks like good news for anyone with a freshly printed degree.

This graduation season, companies will hire 26.6% more college graduates from the class of 2022 than they hired from the class of 2021, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) reported, according to Monster.

Back in 2020, when hiring slowed significantly owing to the pandemic, over half of new grads said they would accept a lower salary than they believed they deserved—if they got desperate enough. And many did struggle to find work as the NACE found just 50% of class of 2020 grads were able to find jobs in the first six months after graduation.

Times have changed: More than four in five (81%) recent or soon-to-be college grads are confident they’ll get a job offer that matches their career goals. And the pay will be better, too, with almost three-quarters (72%) of employers reporting raising their entry-level salaries in the past 12 months. But young job-seekers may need a confidence boost as over half of them (58%) still believe employers have the upper hand in the entry-level job market.

Employers disagree: 57% of hiring managers said it’s the candidates who have the power, adding that it now takes an average of four weeks to fill an entry-level role—that’s a 57% increase from 2019.

Monster releases this report around graduation each year, and the past two years painted a pretty bleak picture, Monster career expert Vicki Salemi tells Fortune. “This year’s report is decidedly positive: College grads are now able to be more selective than ever, because they know employers are desperate.”

New grads shouldn’t underestimate the sway they have, or just how much norms are changing, Salemi, a former corporate recruiter, says. “If I were to look at a candidate’s résumé today, I wouldn’t think twice about something like job-hopping.” And employers tend to agree with this viewpoint, with 50% saying they no longer consider job-hopping to be a red flag that should be held against candidates.

Another changing norm: When a grad is looking for advice, they’re less likely to turn to their campus career center, or to an expert like Salemi. Instead, they’re turning to social media; 46% of grads said they’d consulted YouTube or TikTok for answers to job-search–related questions.

In Monster’s survey, recent and soon-to-be graduates ranked a new job’s flexible work opportunities as higher priority than health care benefits. While flexibility and work/life balance are top of mind—38% of Gen Zers said they’d “never” consider a job that doesn’t include a hybrid work model.

But new grads aren’t just about working from home. One in three grads said career development programs are a must, as are diverse workforces and clear environmental policies.
