The Paid Employment Consultation Market for College Students Urgently Needs Governance

2023-06-13

College students seeking employment counseling with the aim of planning their future and rational career choices is a good strategy, but negative reports such as the "black screen" and "tricky" aspects of the employment counseling industry are not uncommon. In the past three years, Zhejiang courts have concluded a total of 43 cases involving paid employment counseling for college students. After analysis, it was found that there are the following problems: firstly, there is a lack of rules, and the counseling effect is poor. The employment consulting industry is still in the stage of rise and development, and currently lacks unified and standardized guidance. The entire consulting market presents a mixed state of good and bad institutions, and practitioners are mixed. Some consultants have not received professional training and scientific certification, and even resorted to deception, selling career plans full of empty talk to college students at will, mostly suspected of false propaganda and illegal operations. The second is to talk nonsense, and it is difficult to refund fees afterwards. Some institutions use professional consultation and guaranteed employment services as a gimmick, often charging high fees of tens of thousands of yuan to college students. Once the money goes into their pockets, the solemn promises before payment mostly become empty promises after payment. Not only did they not provide any substantive assistance to college students' employment, but they also repeatedly delayed and evaded customers when applying for refunds due to various reasons such as going through the process. The third is the linkage of interests, with deep internal promotion methods. Some consulting agencies claim to have rich industry resources and cooperation projects with many large enterprises when receiving college students. They can provide paid internal promotion services to help obtain internship positions. However, many college students only realize after paying that the positions they receive are "small black workers" who do not sign any agreements or contracts, and do not receive any compensation, while the fees they pay are shared by corporate executives and consulting firms in partnership. The fourth is interlocking, with many hidden traps. In the name of career planning, some criminal gangs singled out young college students to start with. They used free career planning lectures as bait in colleges and universities, played emotional cards in telephone interviews, and then launched training plans, education Installment loan and other services to defraud college students of their trust, setting up a series of traps to commit fraud. Fifth, information leakage poses significant security risks. When college students receive employment counseling, they usually provide personal resumes including phone numbers, home addresses, and employment experiences according to the requirements of the counseling agency. In this era of "data is wealth", some institutions have a perverse mentality and seek unfair economic benefits by selling college students' personal information online and offline, which also provides convenience for criminals to engage in other illegal and criminal activities in the future. In response to the aforementioned chaos, the author suggests taking the following measures to address it: firstly, introducing industry guidelines, scientifically certifying the qualifications of employment consulting institutions and consultants, raising the entry threshold for the employment consulting market, and ensuring that paid employment consulting for college students is reasonable and effective. The second is to strengthen industry supervision, and relevant regulatory authorities should regularly conduct open investigations and undercover investigations in the employment consultation market, continuously open up channels for public reporting, and crack down on illegal employment consultation institutions. Thirdly, universities should fully integrate relevant social resources, cooperate with high-quality enterprises, provide students with opportunities for internships and job contracts, actively organize job experience sharing lectures, and provide students with courses related to resume production, interview guidance, etc. Fourth, strengthen relevant laws and regulations
