What is the employment situation of history undergraduates?
University teacher. Master of history can't teach in universities now (some colleges recruit master of history as teachers, which is of little reference value to most people). Only doctors of history can teach in universities or study in scientific research institutions. If you want to do academic research, you need to study until you get a doctorate. At present, there are still many doctors in history who recruit 2000 people every year.

Which doctors have advantages in entering the university? (1) The doctors who graduated from famous schools, especially those in the third stage of this master's degree, are all doctors who graduated from famous schools (2 1 1 schools, especially 985 schools). (2) Being able to publish several papers, dozens of papers and even monographs in core magazines directly shows its strong innovation ability. (3) a doctor with postdoctoral experience or a person who has studied in a famous foreign school or obtained a doctoral degree. (4) People with difficult family background. Those with strong background in the party and government departments, good relations with the leaders of the employing units or jobs recommended by Niu teachers have great advantages in entering colleges and universities. Relationships still play an important role in employing people in colleges and universities. If you are interested in studying for a PhD, candidates should work hard in these areas.

If people with poor academic and family conditions can withstand the hardships of graduate school, doctoral studies or even doctoral work for several years, then go to doctoral studies. In China, reading is still a channel for people with no background to go up, although this channel is much narrower than before in recent years and the next few years.

Middle school teacher. Master of History is mainly a teacher for middle schools, but the employment platform is wider than that of undergraduates, because public middle schools or institutions in many places do not restrict the number of students when recruiting masters, and undergraduates are basically restricted by the number of students when recruiting institutions (including public middle schools), so they can only apply for the districts and counties of this city. People who want to take the postgraduate entrance examination and graduate school should decide whether they like being a middle school teacher or not. The most crucial point is: can their lecture level pass? If you think the lecture is ok, then take the postgraduate entrance examination and graduate school.

Among middle school teachers, which major is history? In my opinion, there is not much difference in majors. China history, world history, specialized history, historical theory and historiography are all on the same starting line. Of course, historical philology, archaeology and museology are another topic.

It's still a bit difficult to get a master's degree into an urban middle school now, and there are basically no special tricks. They are all admitted after fierce competition in written examinations and interviews. Due to the lack of practical teaching practice, many master students are stuck among the candidates to attend classes and give lectures. Undergraduate students want to win in the teacher competition, mainly by interview. Middle schools would rather have undergraduates who give good lectures than masters who give blunt lectures and don't speak fluently, even if they graduate from prestigious schools. Now some county middle schools take care of the master, let the master directly enter the interview, or give extra points to the master's written test, which is also useful for the master's employment. In some areas, such as Weifang City and Zibo City, some county-level middle school teachers are full, and all or most of the newly recruited teachers in the past two years have been assigned to township middle schools. Fortunately, the economic development level of these county-level cities is still good, and the transportation is convenient. The salary income of county-level middle school teachers and township middle school teachers is flat. In addition, private secondary schools will also recruit many teachers. In any case, the level of lectures of graduates is the most important admission standard.

Let's take a look at the employment situation of undergraduates majoring in history. By the end of February, 201/kloc-0, the employment situation of history undergraduates in Shanxi Changzhi University was: "20 1 1 The total number of history graduates was 94, of which 42 were admitted to graduate schools, accounting for 44.7%. Two civil servants were admitted, accounting for 2.1%; Middle school full-time teachers 17, accounting for18%; 24 middle school teachers did not register, accounting for 25.5%; Another 1 person started their own business, and 8 people were employed flexibly, accounting for 8.5%. 20 1 1 Education bureaus in various parts of Shanxi Province conducted examinations for history graduates, and some students failed the examinations. In the normal employment process, some students are not active, and they hesitate when they meet some private middle schools and rural middle schools that want to sign contracts, thus losing some employment opportunities ... 4 1 history graduates are employed in the general education system, accounting for 43.6% of the employed people, except for 42 who enter higher education institutions. It shows that the vast majority of students still choose to work in the education system, which is also the main channel for the employment of normal students. However, this situation also reflects the simplification of the employment mode of history students and the lack of courage to set foot in industries other than teachers. In the process of employment, some of our students tried to find jobs outside the education system, but due to lack of preparation and confidence, they failed ... Among the history graduates of 20 1 1 year, * * * 23 people took the civil service exam, and only 2 passed. Some students passed the written test, but the interview failed. " (The news comes from "20 1 1 Analysis on the Employment of History Graduates" published on April 22nd, 2002 on the website of the Department of History, Culture and Tourism Management of Changzhi University. )

Off-campus institutions There are few institutions that recruit history majors outside the school, mainly Dangshiban, Shi Zhiban, Revolutionary Memorial Hall, secretaries and so on. In the recruitment of revolutionary memorial halls, some are limited to the major of party history, some are limited to the major of party history and history, and some are limited to the major of modern history in China. As far as I know, Yunnan Academy of Social Sciences has recruited a graduate student in history every year in recent years (the key direction is China national history, Yunnan local history, or folklore, historical philology and other majors). In the past two years, I applied for a doctorate, but I either didn't attend the interview or was rejected by an excellent master. In addition, Guangdong Academy of Social Sciences is also recruiting a master's degree at 20 1 1, but it is not a history major. I didn't notice that other academy of social sciences recruited masters. In addition, history majors can apply for positions that are not limited to majors, undergraduate (junior college) and above. This kind of job competition can easily reach 100-to-1 or even 100-to-1 in municipal and provincial institutions, and there is little hope of being admitted.

College counselors. The general requirement of counselors is party member, who has the experience of being a student cadre at school; Many universities like to recruit students who graduated from their own universities, because they are familiar with the situation of their own universities and have handled many assistant affairs in their respective college offices. Most of the graduates from other schools were admitted to other schools, and they experienced fierce competition with 30 to 50 students 1.

Civil servants. There is little establishment in the national system, many graduates want to enter, and the competition is fierce. Every year, the positions of civil servants in the national examination are oriented to history. For example, in the national examination of 20 1 1, the Second Historical Archives mainly recruits graduate students (including doctors) majoring in modern history in China, and some central ministries and commissions recruit graduate students in history. However, there are some restrictions: graduate students who are already in party member and have two years of work experience are not allowed to register for the national examination. In the national examination of 20 1 1, there are not about 20 positions that party member history major candidates can apply for (some require two years' work experience), but party member history major candidates can probably apply for twice or more positions. In the positions of civil servants (taking public examinations) in the province, you can also see the history majors that can be registered, such as local history offices, party history offices and archives rooms in cities and counties. At present, there are more and more positions requiring two years' work experience in the provincial examination, and the positions that fresh graduates can apply for are more limited.

Two-handed preparation: continue to study and find a job. Those who have not been admitted to graduate school, if the family burden is heavy, will still focus on finding a job. You can also study as a graduate student or doctor if you have the conditions in the future. After all, academic research is a luxury for most people.

Other employment channels for history majors: various counseling institutions, journalists, secretaries, personnel management, publishing house editors, network editors, copywriting planning, book planning, tourism, etc. Some of them have entered accounting companies and securities companies (they need to pass relevant exams) to find jobs by themselves.
