What do you value when looking for a job?

When I was job hunting recently, I met a company that I liked very much. After getting in touch with the company, the company seemed to like me quite a lot.

Unfortunately, no cooperation was reached in the end.

When applying for a job, what I personally value is:

First: the fit with the company.

Through contact with human resources and future bosses during the interview, I can predict the internal environment of the company. If it matches my personality, ability, and aura, it will be a great bonus. However, this screening method is very random and has no scientific basis.

Second: salary.

Your base salary is everything you have. At my current level, there is no way to generate electricity for love. There is no need for any company to pay for my rent. It only needs to pay for the value I can provide in my working time in exchange. However, I myself need to pay for my survival.

Of course, a very important point is to flexibly adjust the proportion of salary in the work.

If you really like it, all external conditions will be in vain.

Just like when you meet someone you particularly like, you can sink into the dust, the same principle.

It’s not that we don’t value the industry or the company itself, but these things have already been screened before submitting resumes or interviews, which means that only those who pass these two screenings can proceed to the follow-up. link.

As for what you can learn in the company, this is too subjective. People who are willing to take the initiative to learn will fight for opportunities for themselves wherever they go.

I once thought about a question, if I encounter a particularly suitable position, company or opportunity, can I devote myself to that kind of work regardless of salary?

You think you are satisfied with many things, but at the moment when you need to make a choice, you realize that you still have concerns, so you set a condition that is almost impossible for the other party to agree to. Used to convince myself that if the other party can agree to such harsh conditions, then I will fight for it.

In the final analysis, the attraction of both parties is not strong enough.

As a job seeker, the job itself is not attractive enough to surpass the salary.

As a recruiter, job seekers are not capable enough to break the rules, so there is no need to pay for uncertainty.

The needs of both parties do not match, that's all.

I always compare love with work. The best state for two people to be together is from the two-way attraction from the beginning to mutual growth. The same is true for work. If there is no two-way attraction from the beginning, it will not work. No need to start.

Actually, while I was waiting for the other party’s reply, I felt a little uneasy. I started to feel anxious. Is it a good choice to go to another city? Will you regret doing something out of passion? To what extent can I solve the problems in that job, etc.

But, it was just a moment, a relatively long moment.

I chatted with a few respected seniors and they all said that it is always good to go out more and broaden your horizons. After hearing this, I suddenly no longer feared making choices.

I am not afraid of choosing, but I have already made my choice. I just want to hear a word or two of encouragement from someone I trust.

All the anxiety at the moment will be nothing more than an insignificant choice in the long river of time.
