Job hunting story: Looking for a job is looking for yourself

Job search story: Looking for a job is to find yourself

One night in the summer of 2006, after Xiao Yang said goodbye with tears to his sisters in the same dormitory, he dragged his luggage and left alone. Four years of Southern One Nation College. From then on, the linear life from kindergarten to university came to an end. Xiao Yang had to start from this point, and there were countless potential rays that might appear in front of him. ?When I graduated, I made up my mind not to work in this city. My sister worked in Beijing, so I went directly to Beijing? At that time, Xiao Yang had no clear plan for his future path.

In Beijing, Xiao Yang spent a lot of time traveling between large and small job fairs and his residence in Shunyi every day. Although the economy was booming at that time, in the capital, enrollment expansion was still a problem. Today's universities produce a large number of college students like Xiao Yang every year. To get a job, you need to defeat many competitors. After searching hard for two months, a company finally agreed to give Xiao Yang a job opportunity. On the day of the interview, the company asked Xiao Yang to pay a job retention fee of 70 yuan. After returning home, Xiao Yang checked online and found that this company was rated as a scam company. So when she came to sign the contract at the company's request the next day, she raised her own questions to the company. The company was not only vague, but also accused Xiao Yang of being ill.

"You are the only ones who are sick?" After saying this, Xiao Yang walked out of the company without looking back.

?After experiencing this incident, I know my own weakness. Even if I am not deceived, there are so many famous schools in Beijing and so many outstanding talents. A student from an unknown second-rate school like me does not have much competitiveness. So Xiao Yang decided to go back to his hometown of Hunan to take the postgraduate entrance examination. However, the journey home to take the postgraduate entrance examination was not as smooth as expected. Xiao Yang could not remember how many times he threw the book in his hand out of the window or even tore it into pieces. ?My family didn’t push me and gave me money to continue studying for the postgraduate entrance examination. However, the generosity of my parents only increased Xiao Yang’s pressure. When I was stressed, I had no one to talk to. ?People didn’t understand why I didn’t work hard. It has been so long since he graduated and he still has to be supported by his parents, so Xiao Yang had to bear the pressure alone, pick up the books that were thrown out, and buy back the torn books.

This time the postgraduate entrance examination ended in failure, Xiao Yang didn’t even check his results. ?If I couldn’t find the right direction before, I began to doubt myself after failing the postgraduate entrance examination. I didn’t know what kind of life I wanted, and I didn’t know what to do? Xiao Yang, who didn't know what to do, left his future to "fate". With the help of his parents, Xiao Yang was arranged to work in a public institution in Loudi, Hunan, becoming a temporary worker without any guarantee. ?, earning a few hundred yuan every month, waiting for the day when he becomes a full-time employee.

This is not the life I want. Although I still don’t know what I want to do, I still left Loudi. In the summer of 2007, Xiao Yang came to Beijing again and found classmates who were already studying in Beijing for graduate school, hoping to provide him with some information. And I rented a small room near the school that didn't even have a bathroom. I went out to read early in the morning every day and didn't come back until very late. ?I still have no plan in life. I always just think that if I change to another city, everything will be different; however, every time, life remains the same. ?

Fate was ruthless. Once again, Xiao Yang failed in his attempt to take the postgraduate entrance examination. ?This time is different from the last time. This time I put in a lot of effort and had great hopes. In the diary of the day when he learned the results, Xiao Yang wrote: "I held back my tears so that I would not cry, but I am sorry for my parents who cared about me and the people who cared about me. After shedding tears, Xiao Yang followed in the footsteps of love." ?, came to Suzhou with her boyfriend. In Xiao Yang's eyes, Suzhou is a medium-sized city with a developed economy. There is not as fierce competition as in big cities. It can better combine life and work. After all, he is not young. After all, you need to have a solid foundation in life before seeking more development?

Xiao Yang said that more than two years after graduation, she realized the gap between ideals and reality, and began to be down-to-earth, instead of being full of illusions like when she first graduated.

After getting her feet on the ground, Xiao Yang carefully analyzed her strengths for the first time. She felt that her background as a liberal arts college graduate coupled with her ability to understand words, decided to find a job related to words. Like every job seeker, Xiao Yang sends his resume to various talent markets almost every weekend and casts a net on major talent networks. At this time, it coincided with the economic downturn caused by the financial crisis, and Xiao Yang encountered greater difficulties in finding a job.

? I want to be a tree, half peaceful in the dust, half flying in the wind; half covering the shade, half bathing in the sun; very silent and very proud, never relying on and never looking for. ?In Xiao Yang’s diary signature file, she hopes that her life will be as stable as a tree that stands still. ?Because he was too wandering before, Xiao Yang has been wandering around looking for his own life since graduation. However, it was not until the end of 2008 that he found a real job in Suzhou. ?Compared with the financial crisis, I think the obstacles I set for myself are more terrifying? Xiao Yang believes that unclear positioning of herself is the biggest problem. After analyzing her strengths and weaknesses in detail and targeting writing work, ?Things seem not that complicated anymore?? After interviewing with several companies, Xiao Yang finally successfully entered a magazine company and started writing work under the background of the financial crisis. ?If I had known clearly what I could do and how I wanted to do it when I graduated from college, I wouldn’t have wasted these two years. I feel that when you are looking for a job, you are looking for yourself? The winter morning is a bit cold, Xiao Yang said on the way to work. In front of her was the wide road in the park and the day of intense work that was about to begin. ;
