How did everyone get along in the first year of graduation?

June and July are the graduation season for college graduates every year, which means that life has entered the next stage. The choices faced when graduating from college are basically as shown in the following figure:

We like to read biographies of celebrities and watch their growth process, in order to get inspiration from them, but celebrities are far away from us after all, and the stories of ordinary people around us can be used for reference. This paper, based on the personal experiences of some graduates, looks at different choices at the beginning of graduation.

The idea of studying journalism in England began in my freshman year. When individuals have more choices, do they go abroad to broaden their horizons or to understand what the world is thinking?

Now, the one-year overseas study is coming to an end. What have you gained? There are a lot of feelings, to put it simply, two points

1. Professional academic attitude

To understand the academic atmosphere of British universities, we can learn a thing or two from their attitude of zero tolerance for plagiarism. "Plagiarism" is probably the most frequent word that every freshman hears in the first semester, and it is also the troublesome word that needs the most vigilance. Any reference to other people's speech should be clearly marked with the source and written in quotation marks, otherwise the points will be deducted lightly and the class will be suspended. After brainwashing training, I will probably never forget the awe of academic research formed by "Plagiarism".

2. Professional attitude

In my curriculum, besides academic media research, there are a lot of practical classes. The teachers in class are all from BBC, Guardian and other major British media, all of whom are experienced and have vicious eyes. Running news and doing interviews are daily appetizers. At this time, the classroom is the news room, and the teacher is the editor. They dig the words in the report, the first frame of the video, the news title and the background sound. At the same time, students are also tortured by the countdown to submission. Although "miserable", there is no doubt that professional professionalism will also be formed.

a year is very short. In my opinion, it takes longer to adapt to the language and culture of foreign students in China, and what I have gained is only the tip of the iceberg, not to mention the stepping stone to return to China for job hunting. But there is no doubt that the two points mentioned above are all good tempering of personal qualities. This kind of harvest is invisible, but it is also long-term.

after one year of graduate school, I think back what I "gained", but it seems that I can't grasp the entity. Attend classes, read books, listen to lectures, participate in academic conferences, and participate in tutor reading clubs; Watching movies, doing public welfare, learning guitar, joining a choir, writing your own WeChat official account ...

Reading and entertainment to improve yourself, everything is like a replica of undergraduate life, but at the same time, I am thinking about whether I really avoid sticking to the details of knowledge and exercise my way of thinking, and whether I really do a little in-depth exploration in the ocean of knowledge. The answer is no. I know very well that I chose the postgraduate entrance examination a year ago not to avoid entering the workplace, but to "learn more", but the so-called "academic enthusiasm" is like a flash in the pan, and the word "life planning" is so big that I am still greedy for superficiality and carnival under the excuse of "living in the present". Sometimes I think about my future career choice and take the smallest action, and I will seriously finish reading a book and get a sense of joy that only exists for a moment. But all experiences have a thick layer of self-denial and anxiety-you don't know what kind of person you want to be. The most terrible thing is that you only stop at asking this question without any breakthrough in direction.

Of course, I should be a negative example. Many students around me have their own clear goals and plans, or spend three years studying hard, or work hard in student organizations, or accumulate work experience through continuous internships. But I am like a headless fly. But I have gained a sense of satisfaction and existence even if there is a moment in every attempt in a different direction.

a year ago, if I had gone to work without taking the postgraduate entrance examination, maybe I would still be thinking about these problems and the reason why I stood in this world as a point. I graduated with a master's degree two years later, and maybe these questions are still unanswered. There will never be an answer. My friends sometimes say to me: What do you want? What exactly do you want to do in the future? Why didn't you follow a straight line? I can give several key words as answers: lack of self-awareness, impetuous anxiety, self-abandonment, quick interest change, immaturity, immaturity, and no responsibility for myself. But there is also a word-try-that is not so negative. Please let me try. I'm the one who took the step, and I'm the one who stepped on the air or stepped on it.

Three months ago, I answered a question in Zhihu called "What's the experience of studying as a graduate student in the School of Journalism of XX University":

"After studying for a master's degree, I feel like a" anything "that has been stocked and seems to be able to" fly freely ",but there will always be an invisible line holding you and reminding you what to do and what not to do. As for the real". There are many students around me who know what they want and work hard for it. Their self-confidence and calmness (at least in face) will always bring me impact and motivation.

I hope that this kind of "impact and motivation" from the students around me (as well as from the theoretical content taught by tutors and some classes) is not a momentary spark, nor a poison that leads to anxiety and self-abandonment, but can bring lasting legendary "positive energy" … and concrete actions. "

ahahaha, it turns out that I haven't changed much after three months. So sad

218 is already halfway through. Looking back on the past year and a half, it seems that I have experienced a lot. Starting from the next semester of junior year, it seems that there are many decisions that need to be made in an instant, whether to develop in Shanghai or return home after graduation, whether to get a job or to start a business. In the last semester of my senior year, after the eleventh, I finally made up my mind and decided to find a school move in Shanghai, and started the road of autumn move in a hurry. Taking professional photos, doing resumes and brushing your face are also full of ups and downs. Because you are inexperienced in doing resumes and interviewing, and it is a bit late, you miss many opportunities. After more than a month of anxiety and self-doubt, I finally got the offer from Shanghai Suning through the campus job fair in December, which was the last bus to catch the autumn move. Followed by the final exam, plus the Chinese New Year, I started my internship in Suning in March of the following year.

In retrospect, my days in Suning made me grow greatly. During my college years, I didn't have a practical experience because I was bent on starting a business. One or two weeks before I first joined the company, I didn't even know the simple operation of excel, but I found a book because I was on duty on a Saturday and made up my knowledge of excel.

from the beginning of March, 17, I stayed in Suning until the beginning of April, 18, minus a holiday in the middle of June because of graduation, which is considered to be a complete year. From an intern at the beginning to a quarter-scale sales in the management department when he finally left the company, it can be regarded as one of the fastest growing people in the same batch of management students. Although I am very tired in the process and have experienced the legendary 996 work rhythm for one year, I still have a lot of gains from my self-feeling, from my basic professional work habits to my skills and awareness of completing my work through data. I believe this part of my gains will be beneficial for life.

in March of this year, because my self-feeling grew to a bottleneck, I finally made a decision to jump ship in the golden three silver four after thinking for nearly half a month, and found an investment startup company in the process.

After job-hopping, I found that there are indeed many differences between entrepreneurial companies and large companies. The system is not so perfect, there is no tutor, no one teaches you, and the company's development is constantly changing. You need to think about what to do by yourself. This company stayed for three months, during which it also gained some gains. At least, as a boss, it learned how to find people, find money and make profits through trial and error.

However, due to various reasons (emotional, health, career development, etc.), I decided to leave my job in July, go home and rest for a month, and return to Shanghai in August to start a business. Although it is somewhat different from my original plan (one year's working experience in a Fortune 5 company and one year's working experience in a startup company), now if I start a business, I have at least two cards-< P > 1. I have managed sales of two billion yuan in a Fortune 5 company;

2. I have helped the team start from scratch to achieve profitability in a startup company;

In addition, the projects that I have been paying attention to before seem to have entered a better period. Maybe this is the best moment?

One year after graduation, you feel a lot, and the pressure of society seems to make you a little breathless. Economic pressure, confusion about future development, inner anxiety, and various frustrations. Although it is very painful, it seems that it is precisely because of these heavy pressures that people can find a way out. For me, the way to find a way out is to keep reading. In reading, one problem after another is slowly solved. Compared with myself a year ago, I really feel my own changes, both my ability to survive and my heart are getting stronger. I remember there seems to be a saying-those hardships that can't beat me will only make me stronger in the end.

Finally, I would like to sum up my feelings after graduation for one year:

1. Make plans actively, whether it's employment or starting a business, or taking the postgraduate entrance examination or going abroad, and make decisions early. Too much hesitation will only delay your pace;

2. Try to follow the trend as much as possible. In addition to your inner wishes, you should also consider social trends in every plan. I remember reading a sentence before, the best professional state is to be able to do what you like, what you are good at and what society needs. If you find that you have made a wrong decision, stop the loss in time.

3. Planning is very important, but you can't bury yourself in your own planning and stay sharp. The speed of social change may be far beyond your imagination. If opportunities arise, you should adjust your planning in time and seize them.

4, inner suffering is not necessarily a bad thing, the key is whether you can find your own way to turn grief and pressure into your growth motivation.

Finally, on a hot summer day, I hope everyone can gain inner peace.

In fact, various factors really contributed to the entrance examination. Graduation is just around the corner, the students have signed contracts with the school, and only a few of them are still worried about their work. The teacher sent two directions for submitting resumes at the right time, and submitted resumes with a try mentality, preparing the written test content. At that time, I thought that I could still take the road of being a teacher at worst, but I was made a joke. A school that had talked about it before dragged me for 2 months and suddenly told me that I didn't want me. Pretty desperate. I lost my old card like this, so I have to prepare for the exam desperately.

I don't mention preparing for the exam, so I'm very tired. As a result, I passed all the exams, one for the public and one for the army. It's time to start choosing again, or it's a two-way choice. I don't like to make this choice. I really want to say I want it all, but it's unrealistic.

I began to make a rational analysis. Without knowing the work content, I roughly guess that both work contents can be regarded as serving the country and the people, which is quite lofty, and both are satisfied. Vulgar point, see money, income is similar, are also satisfied; After a rough look at the biggest difference, one goes home in the city. In the end, I chose to go home. To put it bluntly, I am poor. If I spend less on living in the urban area, I can help my family share more. It's as simple as that. Every family has its own problems.

Regarding the employment direction, I have to admit that it must be related to the living environment. People here have a strange affection for the iron rice bowl. In fact, I don't feel anything. It should not be a particularly big reason for me to choose this one. The influence must be a bit; Plus the major of reading, a normal student, who studied teaching and educating people for four years and made plans about where to go in the winter and summer vacations for four years, at the moment of graduation, I really didn't think I had any employment direction except school. There are also various enterprises recommended by the teacher. The reason for not going is quite simple. First, I have already started preparing for the exam, which is considered as last stand, and I no longer find a way out for myself. Secondly, it can be simply summarized as unsuitable.

As an atypical teacher, my state is that I don't have enough to eat, I don't die, I have plenty of time, and I have no pressure. Of course, the most enjoyable thing is the winter and summer vacations ~

Because I have too much leisure time, it is easier to spend money than to make money. Traveling, fitness, swimming, learning musical instruments, plus eating, drinking and having fun, buy buy can make ends meet.

the biggest feeling after graduation for one year is probably that everything comes down to what you really want. Why do you say this? What is the purpose of starting a business? Is it for the convenience of starting a business and being a boss to brag in front of classmates and friends? Is it to make money? Or to realize the value of life?

I think most people, like me, don't know what they want when they graduate from college. Since they don't understand, they look back to see what they lack. When they look back, they find that they lack everything, no money, no color and no education. Usually at this time, it is both fearful and relieved. What is fearful is that there is nothing missing. What is relieved is that in this case, since there is nothing, the choice will only affect the future, and it can't be worse. Whether it is necessary to toss about it depends entirely on your own heart. The biggest difference between entrepreneurship and employment actually lies in the size of the risks, and the employment risk is small. At most, the enterprise closes down and is laid off. Otherwise, a person who works hard will not lose his job or easily become poor. But entrepreneurship is different, business is unstable, and even long-term investment is unrewarded. This has the greatest impact on an ambitious young man who just graduated. Is it necessary to continue? Is the opportunity cost too high, and everyone around him has given up on himself? Whether you can pass this level depends entirely on yourself. Here, I only discuss the biggest problem in starting a business, that is, the repeated questioning of myself, without discussing the objective business model, policies, resources I carry, opportunities and so on. For the rest, I think it is enough to think clearly and make your own choices. Why do you think so much? I believe that a person who has worked hard to find business opportunities, experienced all kinds of ups and downs, can survive, and all kinds of quotients are not too bad, and still work hard, will not miss an opportunity to make himself rich.

One year after graduation, life is filled with unprecedented hostility and anxiety. This kind of anxiety is very complicated. I think most of it stems from the lack of identity with the existing situation, but I even disdain to be a "social person." A lot of times, we have a lot of complaints, but we are insignificant.

It is difficult for us to be persuaded by the popular stories of women who make money, keep fit and buy in buy buy to achieve independence and strength. At least for me, what is more urgent is: to remain keen; Establish a stable sense of self-esteem; Can get up at any time in trouble; Can build deep relationships with more people; Go beyond yourself and small circles and find value in bigger things. To be honest, it's quite difficult.

But fortunately, Kang, a rookie in an advertising company, doesn't seem to plan to achieve this here! Fortunately, no matter where we are, we won't starve to death, right? Haha!

in the first year after graduation, I found my armor, but in my gradually stable life, I slowly forgot to look up at the stars. I am
