When college students enter the society, how can they adapt to the society through work?

After the expansion of enrollment in colleges and universities in my country, the problem of employment difficulty for college students has become an indisputable phenomenon, and it may become increasingly difficult. Employment for college graduates is an important choice in college students' lives. Initial employment and the first job have a crucial impact on a person's life.

If they have a job, they are afraid of not adapting to the work environment and losing their job.

1.1 College is the preparatory stage for entering society

"Just a classmate of a young man, in his prime. Mao; scholarly spirit, scolding Fang Qiu. "Many years ago, Mao Zedong's song "Qinyuanchun? Changsha" was not only popular, but also inspired the lofty ideals of several generations of young people.

As an ambitious man, college time is a critical period that cannot be ignored. Four years of college can make a person, or it can destroy a person. There are too many things to prepare for in a four-year college career. If you grasp it well, you can win at the starting point.

Whether college life is difficult and boring or relaxed and enjoyable, for these celebrities, college is a take-off point in their lives. The wealth that the university has given them will benefit them throughout their lives!

1.2 Cherish your college life

College is the preparation stage for entering society. College life means new experiences, new hopes, and new pursuits, but it also means the end. Therefore, we must understand that college career is the last time in our lives that we have the opportunity to receive education systematically and improve our knowledge system. College career is also the last time we can learn how to behave in a relatively tolerant environment.

Although college is a critical stage in life, it is not an ideal paradise, but a transfer station for realizing one's integration with society. College is a watershed in life. Some people, like Gao Ran and Zhang Chaoyang, have accumulated a lot of experience, won at the starting point, and are like a fish in water after entering the society; some people lose themselves in doing nothing, and do such heartbreaking things as throwing sulfuric acid on a black bear and putting a puppy in a microwave oven. some people like Ma Jiajue, because they can't find an outlet for their emotions, either raise the butcher knife to the classmates they get along with day and night, or simply go to self-destruction; while most people, because they did not manage their college time well, face the problems after leaving school In the increasingly competitive job market, you have to look for and apply for jobs again and again, and in the end you can only "lock in" a job with an income of about a thousand yuan, struggling for a long time on the line of food and clothing...

In college Here, we must understand ourselves correctly, position ourselves well, and don’t look at ourselves too narrowly. We don’t need to be too sad if our studies are not outstanding. Some people are suitable for learning, and some people are not necessarily suitable. It is not just research institutes, You can get a job only if you go to school. Maybe your specialty is not in academic research, but in other aspects, as the saying goes, "Three hundred and sixty skills, one will be number one in every skill."

Of course, it would be best if you have outstanding academic performance and excellent abilities. There are such people, but they are in the minority after all, so you don’t have to be too demanding that you have to be proficient in every subject and excel in everything. It is better to understand everything than to let one person shine and excel.

1.3 Universities must prepare for the future

This is a society full of cruel competition. If you are ignorant in college and lack the sense of competition and survival, then when you graduate, It's the moment of unemployment. Observing nature will give us a lot of inspiration: kittens and puppies in rural areas often fight together after they are born. What they do is to cultivate and exercise their own survival ability. After a few months, they can survive on their own. Find enough food to stay alive. How long do kittens and puppies live? Roughly 20 years. However, it takes less than a year for them to learn skills, which only accounts for 1/20 of their lives. Counting from birth, we spend nearly 1/4 of our lives making this preparation. The four years of college are the last four years for us to learn skills. Think about the moment we leave school and compare the performance of life in nature. Are we ready?

If you don’t want to hit a wall when you graduate, and if you want to face your future calmly, then make good use of your four years in college to cultivate your survival and competitiveness. By the time you graduate, you should have the following abilities and qualities:

1. Self-decision-making ability

Self-decision-making ability is a person’s ability to think independently, act decisively, and complete a certain task independently Ability to work. For college students who are about to graduate and enter the society, when faced with job hunting and career selection, other people's opinions and advice come from various sources, and they ultimately have to make their own decisions. This is a test of their self-decision-making ability. In the future work, every issue, every problem and their changes and progress cannot be guided by teachers like in school. Instead, we must make decisions quickly and deal with them in a timely manner by ourselves. Therefore, having good self-decision-making ability is very important for college students' employment.

2. Ability to adapt to society

From high school to college, and from college to society, our lives are constantly changing. Only by constantly adapting to the changing life and society, Only then can you become a strong person in life. Adaptation to society and the environment should be an active and positive adaptation, rather than passive waiting, let alone recognition of negative phenomena. Only when college students have strong social adaptability can they shorten their life span as much as possible after entering the society. During the adaptation period, give full play to your intelligence and talents.

3. Practical operation ability

Practical operation ability is the basis for people to transform knowledge into material power. It is an ability that professional workers must possess. In real life, especially on the front lines of teaching, scientific research, and production, the strength of college students' practical abilities will directly affect their performance. For example, as a teacher, it is not enough to have rich knowledge, but you must also have the ability to impart your knowledge to students. Therefore, college students should pay attention to overcoming the tendency to only focus on theoretical learning and despise practical operations. If a college graduate has excellent practical skills, he will definitely be favored by the employer.

4. Expression ability

Expression ability refers to the ability to use language to clarify one's views, opinions or express feelings, which mainly includes oral expression ability and written expression ability. If a person wants others to understand you, value you, and better utilize their talents, the prerequisite is to have the ability to express themselves. To express yourself accurately requires excellent expression skills. Not only will you be strongly aware of this immediately after you join the workforce and enter the society, but you will also feel it deeply when you are looking for a job. For example, writing cover letters, self-recommendation letters, personal materials, answering questions from recruiters, accepting interviews with employers, etc. Each link requires strong expressive skills.

5. Social skills

Social skills are actually the ability to get along with others. The interpersonal relationship in society is far less simple than the relationship between classmates and teachers and students in school. After college students enter the society, they have to have relationships with all kinds of people. Whether one can correctly and effectively handle and coordinate the various relationships between people in work and life not only affects a person's adaptation to the environment, but also affects his work efficiency, mental health, happiness in life and career achievements. Therefore, it is very important for college students to consciously cultivate good social skills.

6. Organizational management ability

Although not every university graduate will be engaged in management work, in actual work, every practitioner will need organizational management ability to varying degrees. Modern Social profession shows that not only leading cadres and managers should have organizational management skills, but other professionals should also have it. With the development of the times, purely "scholar-type" talents can no longer adapt to the needs of society. In recent years, when many employers select and recruit college graduates, under the same conditions, they often give priority to graduates who have served as student cadres and have certain organizational and management capabilities. This reflects the objective requirements of the times.

Choose a career

A psychological questionnaire shows: "If a person is satisfied with a job, he can use 80%-90% of all his talents. And he can work for a long time Maintain high efficiency without getting tired; on the contrary, if he is dissatisfied with the job, he can only use 20%-30% of his full talents, and he will easily become bored." It can be seen that the subjective evaluation of your first job determines whether you are successful or not. Being able to do it well is more related to future career development.

2.1 The impact of the first job on life

Although the current employment situation is becoming increasingly severe, the choice of the first job must not be careless. A graduate who is about to enter the society is like a "blank paper", simple and simple. As social experience increases, this "blank paper" will be dyed with different colors, and the experience of the first job is undoubtedly That set the tone.

The first job not only affects the attitude and behavior of graduates, but also affects the mentality towards other jobs in the future. Therefore, in addition to considering external conditions such as position and salary for the first job, it is more important to consider whether the company has a correct and far-reaching development philosophy. These may not bring obvious benefits at present, but they will profoundly affect the development of life.

The success or failure of the first job will also affect a person's self-confidence. For most graduates, with expectations for development prospects, they often put a lot of effort into their first job; This kind of effort will not bring you further development, your work enthusiasm will be greatly reduced, and your self-confidence will be hit.

Therefore, when choosing your first job, you must pay attention to whether it can improve your quality, cultivate your abilities, and whether there are enough learning opportunities to recharge yourself. Success does not necessarily lie in waiting for one step, but winning in the first step often makes it easier to succeed. Regardless of whether your first job is your favorite, not satisfactory, or one you are particularly unwilling to take, you have to treat the job well. Because, for you who have just entered society in your twenties, your first job is very likely to affect your life.

When your first job is one that you have long wanted, it is especially worth noting that while you are diving into work, please slow down and do three things:

< p>1. Be familiar with the company’s organizational structure. Including the setup of company departments, how each department functions, the function and status of your department in the company, the titles and levels of colleagues in your department, the promotion mechanism, etc. Once you have an idea of ??the overall structure of the company, you will be able to initially clarify your development prospects in the company. You will not just immerse yourself in work and ignore the direction of development. You can turn passively accepting transfers, work delegations and promotions into actively striving for and planning. .

2. Understand the company’s position in the industry. After completing the first task, it’s time to look further. Pay attention to the strategic development of the company. For example, whether the company is a leader in the industry, whether it is facing internal and external troubles, whether its performance is declining, etc. In this way, you will know what development opportunities the company has in the industry and how far you can go with the company. Your three- to five-year plan has also taken shape.

3. Understand the development status of the industry. You need to conduct a macro analysis of the industry: Is this industry a sunrise industry or a sunset industry? In this way, you will know how the working experience you have accumulated will help your career development in a few years. If you transfer to a related industry, what skills do you need to add, and what areas can you research and seek development in? You can constantly pay attention to industry reviews at work and listen to the opinions of your seniors. Gradually get to know each other better.

Have done the three tasks. Only when you work can you be targeted, more planned and purposeful. Otherwise, you will still be confused after half a year after joining the company, and your work status will show an obvious parabola: from being proactive to losing enthusiasm, to declining satisfaction, and finally blindly changing jobs.

2.2 When the first job is unsatisfactory

1. Correct your attitude and learn actively. "Although a sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs." Even if the company is not good in terms of scale, profitability, salary, etc., for newcomers, having enough things to learn is the most valuable thing, such as work skills, corporate rules and regulations , ensuring the accumulation of knowledge in corporate management induction training, as well as the study of workplace etiquette, office politics and other unspoken workplace rules, are important foundations for survival in the workplace.

2. Pay attention to career opportunities. While doing your job well and accumulating workplace experience, you can also actively prepare for the next job, such as understanding the career definition of your favorite career, the professional skills and core competitiveness you should have, and using your free time to improve yourself.

3. Adjust your mentality and understand yourself. You should analyze your own shortcomings instead of complaining about work all day long. If you still cannot find a satisfactory job like other students after hard work, it means that your professional competitiveness is weak and you may be lacking in professional knowledge, teamwork, communication skills, etc. Therefore, your focus should not be on how bad or how bad your company is, but on seeing your own weaknesses.

2.3 Design your own career model

For most people, work is an important part of life. Most of the time is spent dealing with work. To a certain extent, designing your career model is designing your life.

2.3.1 Fully understand your own situation

1. What I own. List your major, age, gender, family situation, special status, etc. one by one to see what you have and what effect these things can bring to your professional life.

2. What will I do. Ask yourself what you would do so that you would not end up with too much ambition and too little talent in the workplace.

3. What do I like to do. Take a look at what hobbies you have. If you can connect your hobbies with your career, it will be of great help to your professional life.

2.3.2 Analyze your own situation

It is not enough to understand your own situation. You must also analyze your strengths and weaknesses and your position in the workplace competition. What kind of social relationships does the environment have, how many "noble people" are there who can have an important impact on one's career and life, etc.

2.3.3 Analyze market demand

When you have several professional companies to choose from, you have to analyze the market demand. Generally speaking, you should try to choose "core business" .

The so-called core business refers to the business that can directly help the company create revenue. For example: engaged in R&D at Jitai Company, copywriting at an advertising company, etc. Engaging in core business will not only allow you to earn more, have a more stable job, and be more respected by the company, but most importantly, employees who perform well in core business will often receive rapid promotions in their professional credentials.

The second is to choose "business with low substitutability". Your position will be more secure if you are in a business with low substitutability. Your salary will be higher. This is why a front desk secretary's salary can never be too high. Small alternative businesses often have the characteristics of "three highs": first, high intellectual content, such as consultants, game designers, asset appraisers, etc.; second, high technological content, such as software architects, communications engineers, etc.; third, It is a position with high experience value, such as a doctor, lawyer, accountant, etc.

2.3.4 Set long-term goals and short-term goals

During interviews, many people have been asked this question: "What are your plans in five years?" Why ask such a question? Because the recruiter understands whether you are a person with a plan or a person who just doesn't care. Generally speaking, long-term goals should be as big as possible, but they must be achieved step by step through a short-term goal.

Entrepreneurship

3.1 Comparison between entrepreneurship and part-time work

Which one is more risky, entrepreneurship or part-time work? Many people take it for granted that entrepreneurship is more risky. In fact, both starting a business and working have certain risks. Many people who say that entrepreneurship is risky actually only look at the problem from the primitive perspective of money, and do not analyze it from the perspective of planning for different development stages of the entire life. Because the degree of psychological happiness in life cannot be ignored. People who start a business are in pain and happy, while people who work are happy and in pain.

Are the working people under great pressure? Just look at the advertising slogans of the books that have been selling very well recently on the bookshelf: good news for office workers, reducing stress, relieving mental fatigue, treating "office syndrome"... Moreover, in newspapers and magazines, such as so-and-so It is not uncommon for a certain elite in a company to commit suicide by jumping off a building due to huge work pressure. It is very likely that the pressure of office workers has exceeded the original pressure of entrepreneurs.

The risks and pressures faced by migrant workers are everywhere. If the salary of the job is low, naturally one is worried about today and tomorrow; if the salary of the job is relatively high, one is worried that one’s status and salary will be affected due to mistakes at work.

This is actually one of the psychological factors why many people with higher incomes choose to start a business in real life. They need greater psychological release and need to realize value to a greater extent, so for them, starting a business The risks are nowhere near as high as they are when you hold a high position in a company.

3.2 Qualities that entrepreneurs need to possess

We found that although capable people may not necessarily succeed, successful people must have the ability. The world is full of talented, thoughtful people. They are born with a strong desire to get rich and a strong ability to act, never being satisfied with their status and being complacent. However, not all people are suitable for working, and not all people are suitable for starting a business. So, as an entrepreneur, what qualities do you need to possess?

1. Commercial sensitivity

< p>Do you have a keen sense of wealth? Can you find huge business opportunities in seemingly irrelevant things or extremely small things? If you plan to start a business, you need to take a good look at whether you have business acumen. Business ability is the first essential quality for entrepreneurs. Many of our young entrepreneurs tend to underestimate this point, thinking that they are superior in technology and can also be outstanding in business, while neglecting the cultivation and exploration of business capabilities.

People who are sensitive and willing to think will find opportunities in things that people don’t take seriously, and then achieve their own success. This sensitivity is an indispensable quality for people who want to start a business.

2. Be good at seizing opportunities

Modern society is a society full of competition, which not only poses challenges to people, but also provides people with good opportunities to achieve their goals. Life is full of useful information and opportunities. Every social activity, every interpersonal interaction, every turning point in life, every gain and loss at work, may bring you new feelings, new information, and new friends. A choice, an opportunity, is an opportunity to lead you to success. The question is whether you can discover every information and opportunity. Don't think that information is hard to capture and opportunities are hard to find. In fact, opportunities and information are all around us, even in our hands.

3. Good personal connections

I want to start a business, but I have no money or experience, what should I do? You might as well ask yourself, how many intangible assets do I have? My technical assets, my network assets? In our twenties, connections may become our greatest capital for starting a business. Because 80% of a person's career success is due to getting along with others, and 20% comes from one's own mind.

American steel magnate and success master Carnegie concluded after long-term research: "Professional knowledge only accounts for 15% of a person's success, while the remaining 85% depends on interpersonal relationships." Therefore, no matter what career you are engaged in, if you learn to deal with interpersonal relationships, you will have gone 85% of the way to success and 99% of the way to personal happiness.

If you have eloquence, you will have success

Speech, that is, oral communication, is not only one of the main signs that distinguish humans from other animals, but also humans have been able to reproduce for hundreds of thousands of years. Living is an important means of survival and development. Especially today as human development has entered the 21st century, the new wave set off by the technological and information revolution is surging. Living has not only become an important part of people's daily life, but also A crucial prerequisite for people's success or failure in their careers, speaking level and ability have become an indispensable and important criterion for measuring a person's overall quality.

A popular metaphor can be drawn: In modern society, humanities are inseparable from speaking, just like fish are inseparable from water.

In ancient China, there was a saying: "One word can prosper a country, but one word can also ruin a country." This statement shows the crucial role of speaking.

According to records in "Historical Records of the Chen She Family": When Chen Sheng rose up, he used speeches to mobilize the masses. He called out: "Everyone has missed his due date when it rains. If he misses his due date, he should be beheaded...and the deceased will be killed because of sixteen or seventeen. And it is enough for a strong man not to die. If he dies, he will have a great reputation. The prince, general, and minister will have peace." ". Under the "incitement" of his words, every peasant uprising in Chinese history raised a war flag.

This good habit in Western society of fully paying attention to people's speaking ability and fully expressing people's speech and eloquence has continued to develop and is passed down to this day. A typical manifestation of this is that the election speeches of many heads of state are often a crucial factor in determining success or failure.

4.1 Conversation skills

1. Start talking about the things in front of you

If you meet someone for the first time at a station or on a horse's head, and you have nothing to say for a while, the most convenient way at this time is to talk about what you and I see, hear and feel at the same time. Find a few things to talk about.

2. Hiding needles in cotton threads

In many conversations or in many interpersonal relationships, criticism or objections to the other party cannot be expressed in sharp language, but the method of hiding needles in cotton wool is used, that is, using It seems quite gentle on the surface, but it actually has a critical meaning.

3． Don't be sloppy

When people speak, it is easy to add speech defects and noise. Some people have good conversational manners, but there are a lot of meaningless noises among other speakers. Such as "Oh, um, that" and so on.

4. Talking in a roundabout way

Talking in a roundabout way generally consists of two parts: a guide and a direct statement of the matter. For example, a child asks his father: "Can I explain the accidental negligence?" The father replied: "Everyone has accidental negligence, of course it can be forgiven." The child immediately said: "I accidentally broke your most beloved large vase yesterday!" "Dad was about to have an attack, but when he thought of what he had said, he could only say: "Forget it."

5. Adaptable language

Response is to respond when the situation becomes critical. At all times, take appropriate measures to get rid of unfavorable situations. Adaptability is an important indicator of a conversationalist's eloquence, especially in contemporary social life. If you do not have the ability to adapt, you will lose many opportunities for success in conversation.

When someone attacks you with good or bad intentions, you need to respond. The difficulty is to fight back without being disrespectful.

6. Ke Gang

There is this situation in life: a young man makes a mistake, a leader is furious and scolds the young man, while the other leader just pats the young man on the shoulder and smiles slightly. , the former makes people feel disgusted, while the latter makes young people shocked and self-reflective because of their understanding and tolerance.

7. Wise words can solve embarrassing situations. Everyone may have experienced this scene. When you are in an embarrassing situation, you are silent, out of breath, or even angry, so you can try to get out of the predicament. However, sometimes one or two witty and clever words can break the silence and resolve the situation. The embarrassment makes you feel unhappy and disappears.

4.2 Conversation skills in work and life

1. Use local materials and adapt to circumstances

Or you may need it. Always say a few words to others. If you go straight to the point, it will give people the impression that you are not going to the Three Treasures Palace. It is best to use local materials to introduce the topic.

2 ．Conversation depends on the person you are talking to

Conversation is not just about venting your feelings and emotions, but a collaborative process. People of all ages, professions, and geology have different interests. We all have different languages ??and habits. Therefore, the topics we choose during the conversation, the language we use, and the kisses we use should be different, so that everyone can feel that they are all "ourselves," otherwise invisible barriers will arise.

3. Be good at listening

Being good at listening is a key to a successful conversation. When you listen to the other party’s conversation, you should pay attention to the following points:

First of all. , make eye contact with the person speaking, nod appropriately or make some gestures to show that you are paying attention.

Secondly, through some short interjections and questions, hint to the other person that you really feel about what he or she is saying. Interest. Or inspire the other person to bring out topics that interest you.

Again, don’t jump to conclusions too quickly.

4. >

Questions are a great way to lead a conversation or expand a conversation or topic.

Questioning has three functions: one is to ask questions to understand the situation that one does not know; the other is to guide the other party's thinking to a certain point; the third is to break the ice and avoid deadlock.

5. Think first before speaking

Before speaking, you should think about what you want to say. There are two meanings here. One is to know yourself and your enemy, that is, on the other hand, you have a correct estimate of your own personality, temperament, and mood, without setting any self-warning lines. At the same time, have a general understanding of the other person's personality, hobbies, interests, etc.; second, be prepared for the conversation itself, that is, the content of the conversation, the way of asking questions, the vocabulary, the tone, etc. Speeches without thinking or preparation, or the text is not on topic or targeted, giving people a feeling of shallowness.

College graduates who have just entered the workplace suddenly enter a complicated society from a relatively simple campus. They often have various confusions and change roles. It is crucial to adapt to society and complete a major turning point in life. important. School and society are two different environments. Students and staff have two different roles and bear different rights and obligations to society. College graduates must fully understand that the drastic change in roles is a major turning point in life, speed up psychological adjustment, get rid of the mentality of the old campus life as soon as possible, bravely plunge into new social life, and strive to shorten the psychological adjustment from students to employees. period, proactively adapt to society.

First of all, treat others equally. Treating others equally and living in harmony are the prerequisites for establishing good interpersonal relationships.

Secondly, we must study diligently and have the courage to practice. With the change of roles and the demands of the position, learning is particularly important. Although I have mastered certain basic public knowledge and professional theoretical knowledge in college, there are still many things that I am not familiar with and do not understand, and I still need to continue to study hard. , catch up. Although college graduates have a certain theoretical level, they still lack practical experience. They should take the initiative to do everything big or small, experience it personally, insist on learning by doing, doing by learning, and improve their professional level and discover and analyze problems in practice. , problem-solving ability.

Again, we must be strict with ourselves and be good at summarizing. Strict self-discipline is a basic quality that every college student who has just entered the workplace should possess. We must insist on self-respect, self-examination, self-rectification, and self-motivation, and treat every job seriously, meticulously, and striving for excellence. Don't climb left and right, don't compete with each other, be honest and true to yourself, be conscientious, self-denial, honest and self-disciplined, and truly be a person who makes leaders feel at ease, the unit is satisfied, and the alma mater is proud. College graduates who have just entered the workplace will inevitably make some mistakes at work due to the influence of life experience, work methods, work experience, etc., so it is particularly important to be good at summarizing. When summarizing work, we must adhere to a two-part perspective. We must not only summarize successful experiences and practices, but also identify existing problems and causes. Discovering problems is a matter of level, solving problems is a matter of ability, and thinking about problems is a quality. Only by identifying the problem correctly can we prescribe the right medicine. In the process of summarizing, we must be good at grasping the key points, and we must not cover everything. We must summarize around the key work of a period, summarize around the main aspects of each key work, and find out the regular things. Only in this way can we achieve twice the result with half the effort.
