Say goodbye to your first job with dignity.

Today's key labels: sweet and sour tenderloin/peach oolong tea/cloudy day

-This is the text.

It's been some time since I resigned. I left myself a few days to rest, and then started a new job. I was in a daze during my lunch break, thinking of taking notes while my emotions and memories are still clear.

It took two years to upgrade and fight monsters in the name of Jane, during which I met new people and got in touch with novel and challenging jobs, including laughter, joy, sweat and tears. This long memory has to start from the end of 20 19.

After the National Day of 20 19, I began to prepare for the job application. I looked around the campus recruitment and sent some resumes, but I always felt that it didn't match my expected job. I accepted the interview invitation of two companies, and got a preliminary understanding of my abilities and precautions during the interview.

Two interviews are just a test of water. Deep down, I never want to stay in the city where the university is located. Compared with campus recruitment, self-submitted resumes are more selective, but the competition is also more intense. Without the "audit" of the school, college students must also have more investigation and discrimination ability.

165438+ Since 10, I have submitted resumes to several companies I like, one of which is the company that let me stay for two years. At that time, it was not in the first three options I determined. The benefits are good and the treatment is good. The other side of these benefits is high threshold, high requirements and great pressure.

I submitted my resume with a little boldness of vision of a newborn calf, and I was surprised to receive an interview invitation. The time for the first test and the second test happens to be in the afternoon. I took the high-speed train from Fuzhou after class at one or two in the morning, and I was very anxious twice. Fortunately, a week after the second interview, I received a phone call from the personnel, asking me to consider whether to accept the company's employment. After thinking for a few days, I agreed, so I opened a promotion progress bar for workplace monsters.

Due to the need of work, this job often involves dealing with foreign customers, writing emails or social software, direct communication by video conference, face-to-face introduction of customers in the factory, etc. These require a high level of written and spoken English. At the beginning of my internship, in addition to systematically learning product knowledge, I began to try to communicate with customers in student-like and broken English.

I spent three months researching products in the factory, during which I kept trying to develop customers, email communication and social media communication. Because of the epidemic, the offline exhibition in 2020 cannot be held, and online exhibition has become an alternative option, in which live broadcast is one of the ways. At that stage, writing video scripts, shooting videos, editing videos and a series of other things need to be followed up by yourself. At that time, I just thought it was fresh and fun, and even NG thought it was an experience again and again when recording and broadcasting. After the exhibition, the slapstick sound mixed with laughter was suppressed and replaced by the crackling keyboard sound in the office.

Later, the epidemic situation improved slightly, and domestic offline exhibitions could be held. I dragged my suitcase with my supervisor on a business trip. After half a year's training, I can finally tell customers more freely and confidently about products, markets and orders.

Every month, the company will give us KPI requirements, such as how many personal performance goals are set at the beginning of the month, and we will check whether the performance is up to standard when we meet at the end of the month. If you reach the standard and are excellent, there will be corresponding bonuses. If it is not up to standard, there will naturally be corresponding "punishment". This seems to be a gambling agreement. The better the performance, the more cakes will be divided. However, the pressure under this system will also follow, sometimes making people breathless, especially for new employees who have just joined the company and have no foundation.

Due to the change of department ownership, starting from 202 1, all benefits will be reset and all performance will be given priority. Later, there was a new leader in the department, and there were more daily meetings and tasks. Cycle after cycle, monotonous, day after day.

Fortunately, I met interesting friends there. I called them mantos in my boring work life, which made the long working day more exciting and turbulent.

Friendship in the workplace will always be scrutinized and pondered many times, and there are inevitably some intrigues behind friendliness and kindness. However, due to the different nature of the work, it is naturally simpler and does not require too much participation. Our chance to play together lies in a performance canvas complex organized by the company at the end of 2020, which is located in a villa, with KTV box, chess room, billiards room, board game room, cinema, bar and restaurant ... After we finished the performance planning of 20021,people in their twenties replaced the usual seriousness and formality in the office.

That night, we stayed until 1 1, sang a lot of songs and found a different side from each other. After that, whether it is a group building or a meeting, several people always stay together and have dinner together after work every day. During the transition period between campus and workplace, I seldom feel the pure friendship atmosphere.

The biggest difference between people in the workplace and students is that they need to actively establish self-awareness while learning knowledge, learn to build bridges with the outside world, and need to undertake all the challenges of work and all the embarrassment of life by themselves. When a small amount of salary is seriously out of balance with daily expenses, they need to learn how to deal with it calmly and rationally.

A boy in Mentos' team was the first to leave. He has been in the company for less than a year, during which he spent most of his time developing customers, and his performance was relatively thin. When he left his job, the manager said that he thought he was a good prospect and wanted him to transfer to another post, but he turned them down.

In the inherent thinking of the predecessors, the departure of young people is somewhat hasty and emotional. The reasons for leaving the company are just "unsatisfactory work" and "inappropriate salary", which will inevitably exist even if you go to other companies. But we all know that he made the decision after careful consideration, comparing the transaction cost, time expenditure and interest income of the company. His salary and energy don't match for the time being, and there is a big income gap with the object, so he is more inclined to change to a job that suits him, or a new job that can bring him more income in a short time.

International trade students who have studied economics may be more sensitive to the concept of "cost and benefit". How much necessary and unnecessary energy is spent in the work, which is worthwhile and which is not. It is not surprising to analyze the reasons that are not worth spending, which are brought by the company, caused by the existence of the industry or the market itself, caused by the mismatch of its own capabilities, and there are new choices and new directions.

This may not be very human. Some knowledge or feelings can't be measured by material or money, but when the pressure of life is swept away, wage income is still the first.

I was deeply moved by his departure. On the one hand, I can't bear to shout that those friends who have a strong sense of existence suddenly leave (so you see, students are immature). On the other hand, I began to think about whether the sunk costs and benefits match, and whether the chosen road conforms to the future plan. So I offered to leave.

The manager and the supervisor are the two most surprised people. From the leadership level, they may think that I am following up with big customers and my income will increase predictably, but the cost behind it seems to be only known to me. I'll talk about this big client later.

After graduation, I experienced more arduous work, only to find that the graduation thesis is only the simplest starting task in the "odd". At first, I called writing my graduation thesis a tug-of-war competition to test my willpower and endurance. Looking for information, reading documents and sorting out information in the early stage is boring enough. Later, I drew up an outline, wrote down all the contents, and then revised, checked, checked and improved it.

Internship during the day and writing an internship report at night is like an endless strange game. Time is running out, but the appearance of monsters will disrupt the original rhythm, and there will always be some trivial and scattered situations to distract your attention. When you stay up until three or four o'clock, you can't help complaining about how there are such difficult levels. I just want to upgrade and change my environment.

Now I have been working and living for two years, and when I think back to writing my thesis, I suddenly feel that it's no big deal.

What is known to have a result is actually not terrible. As long as you go through the process, things will pass. Don't let some regrets and timidity in the past continue to the present, but also let go of the past and start a new life in due course.

Until now, I will recall my college life from time to time, look through the photo albums at that time, and accidentally see a folder backed up by the computer. Every time I open a folder, my memory jumps. There are other unnamed folders in a doll-like folder, which is wonderful and mysterious.

After leaving the company for two years, these memories will also become Jane's treasure, which will be kept in a folder called "Time Machine" for me to remember quietly again and again in the days to come.

Today's new position and new job seem to have returned to the state when I first joined the company two years ago, but I also know in my heart that it is actually different. There are more things in my heart and mind, and the pace of progress seems to be much firmer.

It's okay, Baisha. The future is infinite.
