Fighting for the Certificates

Students graduates from college and entering the real world often encounter a hostile employment environment. Jobs can be difficult to acquire, especially when there is a lot of competition. Some students try to get an edge on their peers by earning extra certifications; I believe this is an excellent idea.

It can be difficult to differentiate oneself in a crowded job market. Employment can be scarce, especially during an economic downturn like the one we are currently experiencing. Anything that sets a new graduate apart from his or her peers is a welcome advantage, particularly if it's a skill or trade that is in high demand.

Of course, there is a danger in spreading oneself too thin. Specializing in a specific area of work is the reason college majors and minors were created. One must be careful not to ignore one's major of minor studies in pursuit of these certifications.

spreading oneself too thin 过于分散精力
hostile adj. 不受欢迎的,敌意的
acquire v. 获得
peer 同龄人
get an edge 占据优势
extra adj. 额外的
scarce adj. 缺乏的
advantage 有利条件,优势
advanced adj. 先进的,高级的


Ant Tribe in Beijing

Every year, more and more students graduate from college and enter the workforce. Unfortunately, not all of these graduates can find employment. These groups of unemployed graduates are sometimes referred to as "ant tribes".

There are many reasons for this phenomenon. For one thing, the number of graduates far exceeds the number of available jobs. In addition, many of these graduates reject the jobs that are first offered to them because they are not satisfied with the salaries, benefits or other aspect of the job. These opportunities are lost after being initially spurned by graduates.

I believe there are a few solutions to this problem. New graduates should change their expectations and accept jobs that don't pay as much at first. High salaries and good benefits don't come right away; rather, they must be earned through hard work and dedication to one's employer. New graduates can also improve their prospects to employment by earning certifications in specific fields after graduation.
