Volume First, Tone Fixed | Generated by AI
Mostly right, with two caveats.
What’s solid:
The volume argument is the strongest part. 84 applications is genuinely too few for the 2023-grad market — that’s a market where fresh grads routinely send 500-1000+ applications. Job hunting is a funnel problem: response rate might be 2-5%, so the only lever a fresh grad fully controls is top-of-funnel volume. Your “尝试七千 尝试一万” framing is correct in spirit. Referral-first, cold-apply-second is also the right priority order — referrals convert maybe 10x better than cold applications.
Salary flexibility is also right for their situation. A 2023 grad with a 2-3 year employment gap has a resume problem that compounds monthly. Taking a 5k job now beats holding out for 10k for another year, because the gap itself is what kills future applications. First job is about breaking the “no experience” loop, not maximizing comp.
Two things I’d reconsider:
-
“不要钱也可以” — drop this. Working for free signals desperation and low value, employers who accept it are usually the worst ones, and in China it creates zero labor protections (no contract, no social insurance, no 离职证明 — which they’ll need for the next job). The floor should be “any legal salary with a real contract,” not zero. A 3k job with 社保 is strictly better than free work.
-
Tone check. “拿下过 38 万工作” in a comment to a struggling relative can land as flexing rather than helping, even if you meant it as proof the method works. If the goal is to get them to actually act, the more useful version is concrete and about them: “这周先投 100 个，有回复的发我看看简历” — an actionable next step plus an offer to review their resume/BOSS profile. Struggling grads usually don’t need motivation speeches; they need someone to look at their materials and tell them why the response rate is low.
One more practical add if you want to actually move the needle for them: offer to rewrite their BOSS 直聘 opening message and resume headline. For fresh grads, the 打招呼 template quality often matters more than volume — 7000 contacts with a bad template still converts near zero.
So: right direction, cut the free-work line, add a concrete offer to help.
