ABSTRACT: The arrival of the post-epidemic era has brought more uncertainties to college students’ job search and employment. Therefore, it is necessary to help students how to make career choices in an uncertain environment. Based on the career adaptation model theory, this research proposes a relationship model of resilience, career adaptability, and career decision-making difficulties. Through a survey of 666 Chinese college students, it is found that resilience and career adaptability can reduce students’ career decision-making difficulties. Career adaptability plays a mediating role between resilience and career decision-making difficulties. Finally, it points out the importance of paying attention to the positive factors of students in career decision-making and puts forward some suggestions.
