Why do some people have strong working ability, but can't find a reliable job?

There may be some people around us who have graduated from good schools and majors, have beautiful internship resumes, are conscientious in their work, have one or two outstanding abilities, and can also be affirmed by leaders and experts. Their personalities are pleasing, and their looks have not failed the society. But I have been struggling in an unreliable work unit and have been "considering changing jobs". Some of the management and culture in those units are outrageous, some are lawless, and some are too low to survive. We sometimes lament that these people with strong work ability are a little unlucky.

Is it really just bad luck? Obviously not. Their ability to work is good, but their ability to find a job is far from perfect. If you or your friends have this kind of trouble, let's see if you have the following mistakes and shortcomings when looking for a job yourself-

After working for a period of time, we may find that the company's prospects, unit culture, development space, what we do every day, and salary are not in line with our expectations, or we may start to decline because we can't conform to the market trend. If you don't be vigilant and save your strength when you first find out that there is something wrong with your current work unit, you won't have the courage to go out when the situation gets worse. Instead, you think about the unimportant benefits (such as being close to home, the company's products are not competitive but the wages are high, and the food in the company canteen is cheap and delicious), and you dare not jump out of the cage easily, fearing a new round of risks, so you can only stay in the comfort zone and spit.

People struggling in this environment, like frogs in warm water, are lucky enough to wait for the warm water to cool down, and the result is often that the water gets hotter and hotter until the frog is boiled to death.

When the facts are found to be inconsistent with expectations, communicate with superiors first. When you feel the overall environmental decline, first put forward your own improvement suggestions and come up with feasible solutions for decision makers' reference. Communicate and put forward problems that can be solved, don't worry. If your opinion is not adopted, after investigation and communication, you find that other companies in the market do recognize your idea and are able and willing to meet your core needs, so you can bravely consider going out.

Some people are thinking about "going out", but they find themselves in a passive position of "not going out" This is often because, when the working environment is not satisfactory, they either give up on themselves and deal with errands; Or devote yourself to a job that you can't save. Both options may lead to the same result-no continuous high-quality output. At this time, if you want to change jobs and are particularly anxious, your resume will be particularly ugly.

Although we have more ways to package and sell ourselves than before in this era, there are even many deception methods. Just as the requirements for products are becoming more and more demanding in this era, the requirements for individuals are not reduced, but improved. The more an APP enters the user's mobile phone in a flickering way, the faster it will be deleted and rejected. The more a person fraudulently climbs to a certain position in an enterprise, the faster he falls. No matter when, improving your "product quality" will never be out of date and never go wrong.

If you are good at writing, don't limit yourself to reading and abstraction. Only by writing can you see progress. If you are not satisfied with the person who paints spicy eyes for the company every day, you can draw interesting images and expressions in your spare time; If you are interested in planning, you might as well arrange some planning assignments for yourself, analyze excellent planning cases online, and then combine the hot spots with the marketing needs of your company/target enterprise. When you say that you meet the target position, you must come up with something to prove that you are really qualified.

Some people have a single way to find a job. For example, if they only read one or two recruitment websites, they will get much less information than others. If you look at several recruitment websites, forums, Douban groups, official WeChat, Weibo and official website, you may find some companies that you didn't know before, and you may contact HR directly. Among peer groups and high-quality students, you may even know that there is no open recruitment position. If you are worried that your resume is not good enough and you are good at teasing people, you can even try to "hook up" HR or other responsible persons directly on the recruitment social APP!

Others don't make full use of their personal resources. Ask yourself, did you ask all the people around you who might provide information and matchmaking before looking for a job? If you are embarrassed to ask for help or trouble others, then continue to endure the torture of your current job. Even if the people around you can't introduce you, the employees of your favorite unit are active in various social networks. Have you searched, sent private messages and asked for recommendations one by one?

If you don't spend enough time looking for a job, you will have fewer chances to find a good job. Look at a page of recruitment website information and submit your resume. It is usually less likely to choose a more suitable job than to look at several websites and submit resumes from different companies. Just like dating, you have to compare to know which one is more suitable for you. After only one or two interviews and being rejected, you completely give up submitting your resume. Under normal circumstances, the HR of your favorite unit will not step on Xiangyun to save you, but will send you an offer, mostly for some enterprises that can't keep people in a mess.

If you don't spend enough time researching the target position, you will easily miss the job you like. Study the target positions, including starting to make corresponding tutoring and accumulation for the requirements of similar positions in enterprises and industries early in the morning; It also includes a comprehensive understanding and analysis of enterprises, departments, products, social media and news, job responsibilities and requirements for recruitment information; And the process of revising your resume to better match the position. The earlier, more comprehensive and detailed this work is done, the greater the possibility of getting the favorite offer.

Some people, even if they are excellent, can't show it in the interview, but they are depressed afterwards. This is the boring loss of eating good products without good marketing. Some people have a low evaluation of their abilities, commonly known as "liar syndrome".

They feel inferior to their experiences and achievements and don't know how to package them properly.

If you think you are a "liar", you may wish to refer to the evaluation of others around you, the results of group review, the promotion and affirmation of your boss, and the contents of your recommendation letter. And firmly believe that your past achievements are your own achievements. Before the interview, chatting with your trusted friends and tutors to relieve stress can strengthen your confidence. If you are a woman, you should know that male job seekers often dare to apply for the same job when they think they are 70% qualified, while female job seekers often think they have only achieved 80% when they are 100% qualified.

There are still some people who need to strengthen their formal communication skills, which are manifested in the interview process. Because of language jam, nervous body language and lack of self-confidence, HR questions their personality and ability. If you have this kind of experience, make sure that you are already a good product and have made perfect preparations for the target position research. If you still can't communicate naturally and smoothly, please ask more friends to help you simulate the interview before the next interview, and practice interview skills more at ordinary times.

It is often said that choice is greater than ability. As we all know, choice itself is a kind of ability, which you can understand as decision-making judgment or the ability to seize opportunities. Some people can always choose the most unsuitable road at the crossroads of life and regret it afterwards. I just hope to pray a few more times and save more character, so I can choose the right one next time. However, choice is not an opportunity. If you don't improve your choice ability through long-term and extensive training, the next choice is still tantamount to blind gambling.

Good managers need to make countless choices every day. On the one hand, excellent decision-making ability is their rigid requirement. On the other hand, long-term intensive decision-making practice has strengthened their choice ability. When you realize that your choice ability is not strong enough, you should start to learn the decision-making methods of excellent managers, collect information and intelligence as comprehensively as possible in your daily choices, analyze and think deeply and comprehensively, compare advantages and disadvantages in detail as much as possible, and even learn some knowledge of game theory to gradually improve your choice ability.

Others wonder why some friends choose their jobs completely according to the arrangement of their families, and the jobs they do are promising and suitable for them. Every time I change jobs, I listen to my family's advice, which backfires. Quite simply, those people's families know what their children are more suitable for on the basis of knowing their children better than yours, so that they can choose the road that suits their children. We're not them. If you are not sure that you can improve your family's choice ability, train yourself hard. A stronger choice will make your future job better.

Even if there is a better opportunity in front of them, as long as they can't guarantee that they have more money, less work, close to home and long-term stability, they dare not accept this proposal easily.

First, fear of failure again. I am afraid that after giving up everything I have, there will be new difficulties and setbacks waiting for me soon. But no matter what we do or how big we grow up, we may encounter all kinds of challenges and difficulties. Life won't stop testing you just because you make a "temporary stability" choice. Whether we can overcome the difficulties again and again and work step by step depends on whether we persist in studying, correct our mentality, upgrade our way of thinking and keep the same frequency with this rapidly changing world every day after making a choice.

Even if there is another failure, it is normal. In this rapidly changing world, industries and companies that flourished a few years ago will decline because they can't keep up with the development trend. It is the work unit that can refuse, not you. Nokia failed to adopt Android system in time, but programmers who follow suit and learn in advance are still easily taken away by emerging internet companies. The business situation of paper media has gone from bad to worse, but there are also outstanding self-media people. This society is far more tolerant of personal failure than before. Compared with failure, without thinking and summing up, without new growth and accumulation, without change, it will not be tolerated.

Second, they lack confidence in themselves, and always feel that they are not qualified for the new job, because some skills in the new position are not good at or have never been exposed to, so when the door of opportunity opens to them, they close the door and say to themselves, I'd better study for a while first, and then find a similar job when the relevant skills are proficient. However, after learning these skills, there must be new opportunities waiting there; Even if there is an olive branch in the next position, there may be new skills requirements. We can't wait until we become perfect to find a perfect job, and that day will never come. It is more in line with the normal state of ordinary people to cultivate themselves at work and let themselves grow in step with their own work.
