The pace of spring is gradually approaching, and now is the golden season of recruitment for one year. According to the latest statistical data from China's professional sub-industry recruitment website, Chemicals' Talent Network, the demand for chemical products in the chemical industry in 2011 rose by 93% compared with 2010, and the chemical talent market is continuously heating up. So, which chemical talents were sought after in 2011? Can such talents continue to be popular in the recruitment market in 2012? What are the new requirements of the company for chemical talents? What kind of quality job applicants are more likely to stand out in this year's recruitment? In this regard, the reporter conducted an in-depth interview.

Equipment Engineer: **Experience can't be less than 5 years in Beijing. Sun Penglong, a chemical equipment engineer, was very happy during the Spring Festival because he had just completed a successful career leaps before the Spring Festival, from a small private enterprise to a domestic one. Well-known foreign engineering companies, monthly salary from the past more than 6,000 yuan exceeded the million mark in one fell swoop. "This year, equipment engineers got fire. When the headhunter found me, several companies all wanted me. There were foreign companies and private companies. The monthly salary and remuneration proposed was about 10,000 yuan. Finally, considering the personal development prospects, I chose This is a well-known foreign company in the industry." Sun Peng told reporters.

In the past year, presumably, as with Sun Peng, the number of job-seekers who experienced the demand for equipment engineers was not small, and it was asked which position in the chemical industry was the hottest in 2011, and chemical equipment engineers would not allow it.

Statistics from Chemicals.com show that in 2011, the demand for equipment engineers by chemical companies doubled over the previous year to reach 146%, far exceeding the growth in demand for talent in the chemical industry.

“From the perspective of recruitment information, the current demand for equipment engineers is quite large. From basic equipment managers to chief equipment engineers, there is a great demand for recruitment from first-tier cities to second-tier and third-tier cities, and there is a lot of job opportunities. “The employment guidance expert of Yingcai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. said that for enterprises, equipment management is an important part of the relationship between manufacturing and manufacturing. If it is not properly managed, equipment damage will result, and accidents or even disasters will result. Therefore, as companies attach importance to equipment management, it can foresee that the demand for equipment management related personnel will maintain the growth trend.

Xie Ke, the person in charge of the chemical Yingcai Network, told reporters that the largest demand for equipment engineers is the first-tier cities of Beishangguang. No matter whether the state-owned or private enterprises, petrochemicals or coal chemical companies all have a large demand for this position, the monthly salary is between 3,000 and 10,000 yuan. yuan. But the requirements are also quite high, and generally require job seekers to have bachelor degree or above and related knowledge background. In terms of experience, generally speaking, when a company recruits equipment engineers, it requires applicants with more than 2 years work experience. If they want to get higher pay, they must have more than 5 years of work experience and experience in the participation of several large-scale chemical projects. If the graduates want to work as equipment engineers, it is advisable to start with the most basic equipment managers, accumulate experience, and obtain a certificate of registered equipment engineer in the spare time. Judging from the current market conditions, job seekers with registered equipment engineers not only have higher employment opportunities, but also have annual salary of around 100,000 yuan.

Sales staff: Both professional and analytical, except for technical positions. In 2011, chemical sales positions were still hot. The most popular ones were chemical sales managers and chemical sales engineers, whose demand increased by 72.6% and 26.7 respectively compared with 2010. %. Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong are still the three regions with the most demand for sales talent. Among them, Beijing has the largest demand, accounting for 21.2% of the country's total demand; Shanghai and Guangdong have little difference in demand, accounting for 13.7% and 10.5% of the national total respectively. Experts pointed out that there is a slight difference in the types of demand for sales talents in these three regions: Beijing has the most demand for sales representatives and sales managers, and the demand for sales representatives, sales engineers, and sales managers in Shanghai is basically the same, while in the Guangdong region The shortage of talent is the sales manager.

It is understood that the continuation of the 2011 situation, in this year's talent market, can provide pre-sales, after-sale technical services, sales engineers with a certain sales skills, it is hard for the company's daughter. In an interview, the reporter found that at present, many companies’ requirements for sales engineers do not stop at the ability to sell products and achieve sales targets. Enterprises also value the job seekers’ market experience, market observation, and analysis.

Hunan Nonferrous Metals Fluorine Chemical Co., Ltd.'s requirements for sales engineers are that the applicants need to be able to conduct continuous research on market dynamics, industrial development trends, technological direction and competitive environment, constantly analyze the competitive landscape and write relevant reports on competitors' activities. Sinochem Quanzhou Petrochemical Co., Ltd. requires candidates to formulate product sales-related systems, programs, and workflows around products, conduct market research and analysis of products, establish and manage product marketing systems, and also require applicants to have legal and commercial services. Knowledge can be responsible for business contract management, accounts receivable management, and product dispute handling.

Daike explained that because of the unique nature of the chemical industry, sales professionals in the chemical industry must have a professional background in chemical engineering to do a good job of sales. If job seekers want to stand out from the candidates for such positions, in addition to having professional knowledge and sales skills, they should also have certain marketing knowledge, legal knowledge, and trade knowledge.

"Because of the strong corporate demand, the monthly salary of such positions is also considerable. Many people earn more than 100,000 yuan a year," said Daike.

First-line operators: demanding higher wages The latest data from Yingcai Chemical's Yingcai Network show that the demand for operators has been among the highest in the talent demand list for two consecutive years. In 2011, the demand for such posts increased by 115.6% compared to 2010. Daike expects that this situation will continue this year. For a long time to come, the demand for operators will only increase.

According to briefings, the position of operatives in the first-tier cities and second-tier and third-tier cities all show a "recruitment difficulty". Among them, the gaps in the first-tier cities are relatively large. Especially after the Spring Festival each year, accompanied by the emergence of “employment shortages” everywhere, operators are more popular. The majority of demand for operators is production-oriented enterprises, including both state-owned enterprises and private companies.

Wang Jianfang, the person in charge of Hebei Chengxin Chemical Co., Ltd., told reporters: “The recruitment of first-line operators is getting more and more difficult. Experience is not the most important aspect of this position. Graduates can fully engage in this position and their ability. Can be nurtured, but now the key is difficult to recruit." The reporter also found in the chemical excellence network, many companies on the front line of the recruitment of workers after the job description are marked "emergency."

Chemical operators not only demand hot fires, but their salary also goes up. It is understood that in 2011, the wages of blue-collar workers in the chemical industry, such as key operators and operators, have reached 3,000 yuan per month, and some skilled workers who can organize projects can reach 6,000 yuan per month, compared with 2010. Rose more than 30%. Wang Jianfang told reporters that the remuneration package for first-line operators in recruitment companies is increasing at an annual rate of 10%. Zhu Zhiqing, deputy director of the Nanjing Chemical Industry Vocational and Technical College Admissions and Employment Department, said that current graduates should apply for chemical operator jobs, and the general starting salary should be above 2,500 yuan, while the higher ones can reach 3,500 to 4,000 yuan.

“With the continuous increase in corporate demand and the overall increase in social compensation, it is expected that there will be room for salary increase for chemical blue-collar positions this year,” said Yingcai Wanglian’s employment guidance expert.

What is the company's requirements for this position? It is understood that companies for chemical operators generally require junior high school or secondary school **, some companies require high school or college **, can adapt to three shifts, and hard work is a lot of recruitment companies on chemical operators put forward soft Quality. Daike told reporters that although the ** requirements are not high, with the upgrading of the chemical industry and the adjustment of product structure, the work content of operators is no longer a simple twist on the valve. The acceleration of enterprise production automation and informationization requires that operators not only operate related equipment, but also master relevant theoretical knowledge.

Japanese-funded enterprises and one person in charge of recruitment of Xia Chemical (Taicang) Co., Ltd. told the reporter that foreign-funded enterprises have higher pay and similar requirements, and they not only require first-line operators to be responsible for the safe production and product quality of this position, but also hope to Put forward suggestions for improving the quality of products. In addition, as first-line employees must have a certain degree of learning ability, for the production process, it is best to do "three understandings" and "three sessions." "Three knows" means to understand the production process, understand the operational skills of the job, and understand the maintenance performance of the equipment; the "three sessions" are qualified for operation, accurate identification and inspection, and effective and effective maintenance.

Safe production is the company's most concerned issue, and the corresponding knowledge ability has also been written into the recruitment requirements by the company. Jiutai Energy Group requires applicants not only to have an in-depth understanding of equipment performance, to master production processes and standards, to perform simple maintenance of equipment, but also to be able to check safety production conditions and solve basic safety hazards.

This year's new trend: professional talents are favored The Spring Festival of the Dragon has passed. The traditional recruitment season of “Jin San Yin Si” is approaching. What kind of job applicants are favored by companies?

Daike said that through the analysis and investigation of data, it is expected that the chemical industry will see a rising trend in the recruitment of chemical industry this year. In particular, the hot recruitment of technical positions will continue, and the demand for sales positions may be higher. The technology is slightly weaker. The most popular areas for the employment of chemical talents are mainly the first-tier cities in the north, such as Guangshang, and the demand for chemical talents in the Zhejiang region also shows a rapid growth trend. With the adjustment of industries, Nanjing, Chongqing and other cities will gradually become the major employment cities for chemical professionals. Among them, the demand for sales positions in first-tier cities will still be significantly higher than those in second and third-tier cities, and the demand for technical talent in first-tier cities will continue to increase. In addition, with the introduction of national policies on energy-saving and emission-reduction in the industry, more and more related scientific research projects are being carried out. Therefore, the demand for R&D talents in energy-saving and emission-reduction enterprises will inevitably increase only in the next few years. This is not a good job opportunity for recent graduates in the chemical industry.

So what are the qualities of job seekers in the talent market this year? Some chemical industry stakeholders gave the answer. “What we value most is the quality of professionalism. Because ability can be improved through training and practice, but if the professional ethics are not enough, such as the candidate’s sense of responsibility is not strong, there is no sense of integrity, it is very likely that in the future work can not Due to due diligence or infidelity to companies, our company will definitely not consider such job seekers, said Wang Jianfang. Zhu Zhiqing also told reporters that many companies come to school when they are people, they are first proposed to find responsible, honest and reliable students. Although some students are not top-notch, they have demonstrated practical stability and a strong sense of responsibility during the interview. They soon gained approval from companies. In particular, the chemical industry is a high-risk industry, in particular, the first-line operators need to be steady, pragmatic, and responsible.

In terms of professional knowledge and skills, companies have different focuses on job applicants and recent graduates. Many companies have expressed that for experienced professional and technical personnel, they mainly examine whether they have experience in participating in large-scale projects. The more types of projects they have participated in, the easier it will be for enterprises to look at them. If it is a new graduate, the most important thing for enterprises is the overall quality. “The transcripts look, there is also a very important aspect of the investigation, that is, the social experience of the candidates. For the new graduates, we will focus on whether he has participated in social practice and experience of corporate internships, if both With it, I am sure I am more impressed,” said Wang Jianfang.

In addition, the professional qualification certificate has become a stepping stone for many candidates. According to Zhu Zhiqing, the main employment entities for chemical graduates of Nanjing Chemical Industry Vocational Technology College are listed companies and large-scale state-owned enterprises. These types of enterprises have a large demand for talents, good treatment, and higher requirements. To enter such a company, a professional qualification certificate is a threshold. When large companies like Yangzi Petrochemical, Zhenhai Refinery, and Nanjing Petrochemical recruit first-line workers, graduates are required to hold a mid-level certificate. Skilled operatives with professional skill certificates are not only highly sought-after but also have considerable income.
