A Job-hunting Story of a Disabled College Student

A Job-hunting Story of a Disabled College Student

At the age of 9, Don Zong Long lost his right leg in a car accident. It took him three years to complete the four-year college course, won the national first-class scholarship, "Double Excellent Students in Anhui Province" and other honors, and developed a number of application software. After graduation, his job seems within reach, but he rode thousands of miles alone to Nanjing, Hangzhou and Shanghai, and repeatedly hit a wall in the process of job hunting for more than half a year-

Please give me a fulcrum.

When he entered the university campus as he wished, Tang Xi burst into tears: it is not easy to get into the university, and it is even more rare to have the opportunity to pursue his dreams in the university.

When he was about to graduate and look for a job, Tang was so sad that he cried: for more than half a year, he traveled all over the Yangtze River Delta, but the answer was always "no".

A pair of glasses, a pair of crutches and a backpack, walking on the road of job hunting, watching the loneliness outside, the empty right trouser leg swaying in the wind.

Tang, a disabled college student who graduated this year, is a student of Computer Science and Technology Class 2 of Computer College of Anhui University of Technology. At the age of 9, he lost his tender right leg in a car accident. Recently, this young man from the suburb of Wuhu told the author about his job hunting experience.

If you don't recruit disabled people, why bother me to go for an interview?

In the first half of 2006, in the eyes of his classmates, Tang felt dejected: he often sat in a corner of the campus, holding his chin in his hand, and his sad face spread day by day.

On the morning of March 15, Tang, who had been hit repeatedly, pulled himself together, got up early, took a bus to Maanshan Railway Station at the school gate, and went to a large it company in Hangzhou for an interview alone. This is an interview opportunity he got after contacting more than 50 employers in the previous four months.

"I didn't feel different from others before looking for a job", but it was not until he applied that he felt that "some things in life are not what he imagined". The company is located in Binjiang Development Zone far away from the city. Tang set off from Hangzhou Railway Station at eight o'clock in the morning and walked all the way. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he appeared at the door of the company, grumbling in protest.

What can I do for you? When Tang appeared in front of the staff of the company's human resources department, everyone's face showed a look of surprise. No one expected this unexpected guest to come for an interview. Before the interviewer's basic information form was filled in halfway, Tang was called outside the office: "Sorry, we are a big company and don't recruit disabled people." Don suddenly lost his mind. "I have amputated my right leg since I was a child, but I have always been tenacious and never bowed to fate." He wrote his physical condition clearly in his resume. "Since we don't recruit disabled people, why bother me for an interview?" That day, Don had a quarrel with them. "This is an insult to me!" Finally, they were forced to agree to an interview with Don, but so far there was no result.

What would you do if I were your child?

In April, Tang saw a job advertisement on a job search website. The condition is that he has a college degree or above, knows computers and speaks English, so he called by phone. He was careful and said nothing about his physical condition. In the past, when I called the recruitment unit for consultation, Tang told me about his physical condition. When the other person listens, there will be a' but', which will make him even have no chance to interview.

Take the elevator to the interview office: "Hello! Is there anyone here? "

A leader-looking man winked at a lady, who casually replied, "Sorry, we are full."

It was raining lightly that day. When Tang walked out of the office, he felt nothing, neither sad nor sad. Stepping into the elevator, he stood inside and let it go up and down. Ten minutes later, his mind was clear and he began to feel uncomfortable and angry: he had to ask.

Knock on the door and say hello. "I called you and said there was a position. How do you say no? Is it full or do you think my body doesn't want it? " Don's tone is low and resentful. Before that, the woman quickly replied, "I'm really sorry, because the job advertisement has been on for a few days and there are many people coming." As soon as you put the phone down, the leader called and said it was full, no more. "

In the corridor, Tang still couldn't calm down and was humbled. Why do you prevaricate a child with lies?

The more real Tang walked into the office for the third time and came to the man who looked like a leader. He said loudly and unscrupulously, "Look at your age, you should be a father. What would you do if I were your child? " Say that finish, long out of breath, and left without looking back.

I won't come even if you want to.

In half a year, Tang attended more than a dozen job fairs. In addition to nearly a hundred cold encounters, there is also the mentality of the recruiter that "looks strange", which is even more sad.

In mid-May, I once again attended a large job fair in Tang Zaining. A computer company took a fancy to Tang's ability, but offered to see him go first. "I am very eager for my job." In this way, Tang walked back and forth for a distance in front of the recruitment desk in front of his peers around him. At that time, I only felt my face burning, like a fire. Some onlookers expressed sympathy, while others joked quietly. Don just felt like a clown. As a result, the company didn't even accept his self-recommendation materials, just saying, "Think again."

A lie, another lie!

Tang left angrily, saying, "I won't come even if you want to."

At the job fair, Tang asked many companies, but there was no room for his resume. "Some units said no on the spot, and some euphemistically said' wait for the phone', but they didn't let me leave my phone number. I know in my heart that they will not want me. " When Tang said this, it was already very calm.

Believe it or not, you can't find a job by strength.

In September 2002, Tang was admitted to Anhui University of Technology with a score of 52 points higher than that of the whole province. Although the legs and feet are inconvenient, every time the teacher asks questions, he will still stand up with the table. When class is over, whenever he sees chalk on the blackboard, he always wipes it with a crutch, which makes many students feel ashamed. When he was a freshman, his computer school wanted to transfer him to the first floor of the student dormitory, but he politely refused. "From the age of 9 to now, I have long been used to everything. Climbing stairs is no different for me from ordinary people going upstairs. " Every time he attends self-study, Tang always goes to the top floor of the teaching building, where it is quiet, crowded and condescending. When I accompanied my colleague to the dormitory on the fifth floor, I climbed the stairs one by one, while Tang climbed the stairs one by one, which was faster than the author.

Don is not the kind of bookworm who "turns a deaf ear to things outside the window and reads only sage books". During the interview, he exchanged views with the author from time to time on the international and domestic situation and policies.

"I can work and live normally like everyone else, and I don't need special care. I just want to compete with others on a platform! " During his four years in college, he passed the CET-4 and CET-6 with excellent results, and also won the "excellent first prize in English single subject" from the school. Freshman and sophomore won the first-class scholarship of the school in a row, and freshman also won the first-class scholarship of the country; Senior year won the honorary title of "Double Excellent Students in Anhui Province" and completed the four-year college course with excellent results in three years. Through self-study, I passed the exams of "Senior Programmer" and "Network Engineer" in May and June, 2005 165438+ 10 respectively. Software such as scientific research management system based on C/S, online book supermarket and general data import and export tools for educational administration system are developed. "I thought I was in good condition and it was not a problem to find a job. But unexpectedly, I have been looking for a job for more than half a year, and there is still no result. " But don doesn't believe that he can't find a job on his own. "There will be bread and work."

"I would like to tell you my experience, because there is a group behind me. I want to use my own experience to tell the society not to reject disabled college students easily because of physical reasons. Society has given us opportunities, and we will prove that we are not bad. " Whenever I see other disabled students coming to the classroom on campus, Tang thinks to himself: What can they do? Can you stand the blow? Speaking of which, Tang suddenly became silent and his eyes were a little confused.
