Plan for yourself "Blue Ocean Strategy"

The number of IT jobs in the country (computer / internet / communication / electronics) was nearly 380,000, an increase of 23% over January this year. Looking from the recruitment data of various cities, the rankings have not changed much yet. In the first-tier cities, Beijing still takes the lead in demand of more than 70,000 IT jobs while the demand for IT jobs in second-tier cities in Hangzhou has exceeded 20,000, Compared with the beginning of the year rose as high as 32%, under the scorching sun, most cities in the IT job demand after the strong gains in July, "the Golden 9" prelude has been opened.

Judging from the hiring needs of various industries, the number of electronics / semiconductor / integrated circuits (ICs) rose 15% YoY in July 2013 compared with the weak state at this time last year. According to the latest forecast from market research firm IDC , global semiconductor sales could grow 6.9% in 2013 to reach 320 billion U.S. dollars, driven by the strong growth of smartphones and computing devices in other industries.

According to the Worry-free Business (www.51job.com) Worry-free database statistics show that from the beginning of this year, the electronics / semiconductor / integrated circuit industry online job posting a slight upward trend in the situation, and February to April Rally more obvious (see Figure 2). With the relaxation of the relationship between supply and demand in the IC industry, the demand for talent from enterprises has also increased. According to insiders, the 2013 electronics industry is still driven by mobile electronics. In September, iPhone5C is coming soon, which is a good thing for the domestic supply chain. However, as the overall smart phone's popularity shifts to the low-end market, it is also a "boost" for the IC industry.

Potential direction: smart home

Smart home refers to the use of computers, networks and integrated wiring technology, through the family information management platform for the various subsystems associated with home life and an organic combination of systems. In general, smart home includes several major subsystems, involving security, lighting, air conditioning, video, home appliances and other aspects.

At present, the mainstream technologies for realizing smart home include Bluetooth, WIFI and ZigBee, etc. The former two have poor network performance and weak stability. ZigBee is rapidly becoming the mainstream wireless communication technology in the new era with low cost and fast networking. It is expected to become the leading technology standard for smart home, which not only provides people with a smart, convenient and comfortable lifestyle, but also greatly reduces Energy consumption, electricity savings, allowing people to live a low-carbon life earlier. In addition, the smart home can detect indoor air fresh degree, when the data exceeds the specified value, it will automatically open the air freshener, take the initiative to attack bacteria, viruses and allergens in the air, improve air quality, make the human body feel comfortable and happy. This is a desirable feature for people living in the cities that are plagued by "air quality bursts." Smart home is the crystallization of the modern IT industry, the information industry and the modern construction industry. As a new breakthrough point of economic growth, smart home residence has also been vigorously supported by the government. Recently Ministry of Housing and Urban formally released the second batch of smart city pilot list, involving 103 cities, smart city pilot scale expansion far beyond the market expected. The government vigorously invests in the construction of smart cities, accelerating the development of smart home and civilian use, with obvious intention of support. Prior to the Ministry of Industry promulgated the "Internet of Things Twelfth Five-Year Development Plan", also clearly included in the smart home nine key areas of application demonstration project, reflects the policy tendency.

With technology maturing and policy driven, smart home is in its infancy, so the demand for talent is getting better. According to the search results of Future Worry-free Job Finder, there are nearly 1,000 job posts related to "Smart Home" in the last week (as of September 4, 2013), including "Lighting", "Audio" , "HVAC", "construction" and so on; of which 80% of private enterprises recruitment, the demand for graduates is very small, technical jobs for job seekers job requirements mostly in more than 3 years, general sales Job requirements for job-seekers experience more than 1 year. Taking the position of smart home / construction system engineer as an example, we require "intelligent building, electronics, automation and related majors" for professional background, and "more than 3 years work experience in system integration projects" for practitioners' experience. But also be familiar with solutions of intelligent building systems such as smart home, smart building and smart community to understand first-line brand solutions and related products of smart building systems, such as HONEYWELL, SIEMENS and others.

As a trend industry, as an IT person, have you planned for yourself a "Blue Ocean Strategy"?
