Abstract—In recent years, the problem of “difficult employment” of college students has become increasingly prominent, and the employment quality of college students deserves attention. This paper focuses on the current employment quality of college students, combs the concept of employment quality, the current situation of employment quality of college students and the factors affecting employment quality of college students, and focuses on the realistic dilemma and main reasons for employment quality of college students based on existing literature. This paper believes that the current practical difficulties of college students’ employment quality mainly include delayed employment, excessive salary expectations, and a high turnover rate. The main reasons include the increasing enrollment rate of college students leading to great competitive pressure in the job market of college students, the devaluation of academic qualifications, and many students passively or actively choosing to delay employment. At the same time, the rapid social and economic development makes college students have higher salary expectations, and they are not well suited to entering jobs. When facing pressure such as overtime work and competition, a high turnover rate occurs. Under this circumstance, this paper believes that college students should establish a realistic professional perspective, actively consider their issues, seek to enhance their abilities and working skills, and learn how to handle the strain of their jobs well. While universities should enhance training initiatives, give additional career guidance to pupils, and provide pupils with greater employment options, governments, and enterprises should build a friendly, welcoming environment for college students.
