What to do if you don’t like your current job

What to do if you don’t like your current job?

What to do if you don’t like your current job? We often meet people who find their work boring. Those who have just entered the workplace For recent college students, or people who have been working for several years and still find it difficult to break through the bottleneck, let’s share what to do if you don’t like your current job. What to do if you don’t like your current job 1

Some people hate work, hate going to work, hate facing the working environment and people around them, and even hate everything related to work. It's definitely a loss. Think about it, you spend at least 40 hours a week on everything you rely on to survive and develop, and you hate it. How is it any different from digging your own grave?

What will happen if you don’t like your current job? There are two main manifestations: either you complain all day long, as if you are living in dire straits; or you are broken and have no passion, and numbness has become your primary attitude towards work. But, how will this help and change your career and life? If you don’t like your current job, maybe this article will bring you a different way of thinking.

We often meet people who find their work boring. This is especially true for those college students who have just started working, or those who have been working for several years and still find it difficult to break through the bottleneck. The topic often starts like this: "My job does not match my major and it is difficult to perform." Or: "I don't like this job now." I asked: "Is there a better choice?" The answer I got was basically the same. : "No." My response is: "In that case, then learn to like it."

In this world, it is of course happiness to be able to engage in one's own profession. But in all walks of life, 70 to 80 percent are unable to engage in a job that fully corresponds to their major after graduating from college. Besides, college only lasts four years, and if not done well, many people will waste most of the first two and a half years on liberating their individuality. In the next year and a half, I started looking for a job again. How specialized can a major in this situation be?

Most of the situations I have encountered are in four-year universities, which basically teach three-year courses, one year in advance, and the school Students are released early to find jobs. Some technical secondary schools or technical schools are even more outrageous. They provide professional teaching for one and a half years, and the rest of the time is euphemistically called "internship". In fact, they are letting everyone go out to find jobs early. As a result, many students taught have weak theories and are useless, and their practical abilities are also very poor. Many technical college students we recruited from the equipment department couldn't even connect to a socket. The starter of the ring light tube was broken and they were helpless. They didn't know how to fix it.

Think about it, what is the meaning of the so-called major in such a situation?

Having said that, even if you are in college for four years, You have to fight against every second to learn how to hang your head and stab your butt. After graduation, about 20% of the knowledge you have learned will not be used in the factory or in a new position. In other words, you have to learn the other 80% of knowledge and work skills from scratch. Think about it, even half of the foundation of a house has been dug out and rebuilt, and you still don’t want to put in some effort to put the door in the right place?

The so-called right position of the door is to adjust your thinking and Concept, train yourself to love what you do for a living. Since 80% of it is starting from scratch, why not try to like this job that can support your family, make a living, and give yourself a future?

In fact, liking can also be cultivated. For example, the famous Chinese violinist Yu Lina, when she entered the conservatory of music, she actually studied piano and loved the piano. Later, the teacher assigned her to learn violin, so she went to learn it. I worked very hard while studying, and gradually I started to like it. As a result, he became one of the most authoritative performers of the violin concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".

Another aspect that causes everyone to have the misunderstanding mentioned at the beginning is: many people think that what they like is what they are good at.

But in fact, this view is totally wrong!

For example, a young man likes to chat with girls, likes to play games online without restraint, likes to drink, likes to spend money without working, likes to talk about nothing, like Have unrealistic dreams, like to sleep in in the morning, and like to get something for nothing... Are these okay? Can you use them to make a living? Can you use them to support your family? Can you use them to build your own business? No! No matter what we like, in fact, It's all useless. The useful thing is, I can! What I can do, what I can do well, that is, what I am good at, is important. Therefore, when you are expressing or thinking about "what I like to do" at work, you might as well try to replace it with "what I can do" or "what I can do well." Another aspect that needs attention is: whether it is what you are good at, what you like to do, or the skills or work you use to make a living, you must remember: keep investing.

What is job-hopping at a discount

My old boss invites me, should I follow him?

After Richard graduated, his boss, Manager Zhang, personally recruited him into the company. After three years of work, he gradually became the backbone of the company from a layman in a public relations company. Richard admired and liked this "master" from the bottom of his heart. In the past three years in the company, the two people, who have gotten along with each other in a master-apprentice relationship, have a tacit understanding and a harmonious relationship.

After the Spring Festival of 2010, Manager Zhang was headhunted to a newly established public relations company with a high salary. In the days without Manager Zhang, Richard began to feel like he was fighting alone. Last year during the May Day holiday, Manager Zhang asked Richard to come out and have a chat. He said that the platform of the new company was good and that he had initially established a foothold. It was now the time for the new company to hire people. He hoped that Richard could go over and help him and continue to cooperate. ** *Create brilliance. However, Manager Zhang also said frankly that the company has just been established, and Richard's salary may not reach the current level if he goes over, but there is definitely a lot of room for development, and he hopes Richard will seriously consider it.

Richard’s income from the existing platform is stable and his work is going smoothly. However, since Manager Zhang left, he still feels some pressure due to the lack of clear guidance and reuse from his past bosses, especially since he recently found himself There are still many deficiencies in ability, and he is unable to assume a solo role. If you stay, you can protect your current income and you can get through it slowly in a familiar environment, but the development space is limited and the work pressure is increasing day by day. If you change jobs, you can work side by side with Manager Zhang, and you are likely to learn something new. and promotion opportunities, the problem is that income may drop, and there are certain risks in reintegrating into a new platform and re-adapting.

On the one hand, there is a relatively stable "job", on the other hand, there are new opportunities with many variables; on the other hand, there is a stable income guarantee, and on the other hand, there is a discounted salary; the choice between the "money" prospect and the "prospect" prospect Before, Richard didn't know what to choose for a while.

Expert analysis: Clarify the three major principles and grasp the career platform

Job-hopping is a high-risk behavior in the workplace. Every job-hopping has certain risks. The wise thing to do is to do a full pros and cons analysis, weigh the opportunities and risks, and make a rational decision. For Richard, the following three principles can be carefully considered when making decisions:

Principle 1: Grasp the "elegant people" in the workplace who will bring you good opportunities!

Judging from Richard’s professional qualifications and professional standards, he has been working for 3 years after graduating from university and is still in the early stages of career development. He is not yet able to stand alone well and needs to strengthen his studies and improve himself. In fact, his former boss, Manager Zhang, was Richard's professional mentor and gave him a lot of help and guidance. At the same time, Manager Zhang also had a lot to learn from Richard. Therefore, when you meet a "noble person" in the workplace, you must take advantage of it.

Principle 2: During the career exploration period, the one who learns more and exercises more is a good job!

For Richard, who has just entered the workplace not long ago, the transition from a student to a working professional requires time and energy to concentrate on learning. Richard's current priority is to learn, improve his abilities, and obtain high-value work experience, rather than being obsessed with income.

Principle 3: When looking for a job or changing jobs, a correct outlook on career selection is very important!

Regarding Richard's current career situation, he urgently needs development space, and having a larger development stage is a reasonable and wise career development concept. The blind pursuit of salary will inevitably lead to the blind pursuit of the development of "external career" and the neglect of the improvement of "internal career".

After one-on-one in-depth communication with Richard, Richard finally let go of the conflicting feelings of "job-hopping at a discount" and was able to rationally view the rationality of salary discounts and objectively see the process of job-hopping. pros and cons. Soon after, he made a decision and confidently jumped to the new platform where Manager Zhang worked.

After half a year, it was recently learned that Richard is very happy working in the new company: "I have gained the full trust of Manager Zhang in the new company, and I have more room for work. I believe that I will have greater development in 2011!”
