Things to note when changing jobs

Changing jobs or careers is not just a matter of jumping or switching at any time. You need to make various preparations before doing so. If you are well prepared, you will be more likely to succeed. If you are not well prepared, you will be lucky. If you are not successful, it will not only waste time, but also delay your career development progress. In addition, you also need to choose the appropriate time to change jobs and careers. It's the same you, the same preparations, but the time to change jobs will be very different, and the harvest will be very different. So, how to choose the right time to change jobs or change careers? Choosing the time of the general trend: 1. Choose the time when the general trend is coming. If there are no special circumstances, there are two market starts in the workplace every year. One is from February to April in spring, which is the Spring Festival. Around this time, some people who were unsatisfactory in their jobs last year or who were preparing to get promoted through job hopping began to start to prepare for a good "salary situation" in the new year. Another one is from August to October, when there are so many fresh graduates. Inspired by the army of job seekers, some professionals are also following the trend, creating a great trend in the workplace and creating good opportunities for job-hopping and career change. At various job fairs prepared for graduates, many companies will take the opportunity to select mid- to high-level talents, and all types of talents will also take the opportunity to choose higher positions, forming a good market of gold, nine and silver. During these two periods, because there are many people taking the leap, some good positions are poured out. Just like there are many holes on the checkers board, there are many paths to take. You have many choices, and of course, your salary and position can also be easily promoted. . 2. Choose the early stage of the market start-up. If you start at the early stage of the market start-up, the opportunities outweigh the risks, and you will also have enough time to get to know the new company, new position, and new boss. If you are not satisfied after changing jobs, you will still have the opportunity to choose again. If it is At the end of the market, the workplace has gradually come to an end from being hot and vigorous, and has gradually faded and become colder. At this time, although it seems that there are still many positions, the range of positions suitable for you is very small, and if you jump, you will not be able to fall behind. Then the risks will outweigh the opportunities. When I look back, my options are slim. Therefore, February and August are more suitable. 3. Choose a time when your career goals are on the rise. Choosing a job-hopping or career change when your career goals are on the rise will bring you favorable opportunities to improve yourself. For example, in August of this year, human resources are thriving and recruitment is booming. If your job target is human resources, then the opportunity for promotion has arrived. There are also many people who, under the guidance of career consultants, have changed careers to become human resources (HR), or Job-hopping and promotion to human resource management (HRM) and human resource development (HRD). However, software engineers are starting to weaken at this time, with job demand remaining flat and job supply declining. If you don't know the inside story and blindly believe that software engineers are hot commodities, the market is hot, and you can change jobs at any time, you will be in a passive situation. 4. Choose a time suitable for your industry. Every industry has seasonality. If you choose to change jobs or careers, you must consider the time factor of this industry. For example, schools recruit during winter and summer vacations. The basic recruitment is about 10 days before the start of school. . At this time, teachers in various schools who are ready to change jobs will make a big change. If you join the army of job-hopping, you can also find a good school. If you change jobs between two semesters, it will arouse the resentment of the school, and you will also be affected by the various schools. They are all at capacity and are in a difficult situation. The choice of personal time 1. It must be after career positioning. Job-hopping and career change must be after career positioning. In this way, you will have goals and directions to choose a position that "matches your job." Otherwise, blind and endless searching, even if you find a position that you think is good, will also cause you to change jobs again due to the "mismatch between people and positions". Either your ability is higher than the job requirements, you feel that resources are wasted, and you want to change jobs again, or the job requirements are too high Depending on your ability, you will soon be replaced by the new force of the company and fired by the company. 2. It is very important to understand the new company after getting to know it. Before applying for a job, you must first understand the company's situation: the location of the head office, size, structure, background, business model, current development status and future development plans, etc. It is best to have a general understanding in advance. If written information is not available, try to obtain information from the company or its peers. Including performance, scale of activities, and planned business expansion in the future. In addition, what is the culture of the company you are applying for? This way you can judge whether the company's environment is fair, and you can also judge whether there are any limiting factors on your career path if you join the company. Avoid being scammed in your rush to find a job.

Don't be blindly happy when you enter a certain company, but carefully observe and think about whether you have invested in the wrong company. 3. After making various preparations, people often say: Never fight an unprepared battle. Therefore, before changing jobs or careers, preparations must not be sloppy, such as: whether the resume is specific to the job objectives and position information, whether the preparation for the interview is sufficient, and several preparations should be made before the interview: psychological preparation, material preparation, question preparation, research preparation, etiquette Be prepared to wait. In short, it is very knowledgeable to choose the time to change jobs and careers. You must carefully study the time to change jobs and change careers in your industry and position, and choose a suitable and appropriate time.
