Is there any experienced senior in architectural structure design or architectural design who can give me some advice on my work problem?

ateacher has had his own design studio for more than 6 years. I won’t tell you the ups and downs story, it’s not very interesting anyway. However, because I am often involved in recruitment, training, resignation, etc., I can say that I have rich experience and a lot of emotions. So there is something that can be said about the so-called internship and employment.

1. Who are you? ----The problem of high vision but low means

This question is very interesting.

ateacher’s studio conducted a recruitment process 2 years ago. There were more than 140 applicants, but almost none qualified. Of course, applicants are mainly those with college degrees (since the society is in urgent need of architectural talents, it is understandable that those with undergraduate degrees will not look at this kind of studio at all). After careful reflection, I found that in addition to the reason why school education is far away from social needs, the dependence psychology and self-overestimation of candidates are serious realities.

Most applicants care about salary, which is sometimes quite ridiculous. Especially when it comes to "no salary during the probation period", it is generally unacceptable. In fact, this is a recruitment trap: it depends on whether the applicant is someone who dares to earn a salary through his own efforts, and whether he is someone who can break away from the general concepts of the public. Of course, the instructor failed completely in that large-scale recruitment. In fact, someone had dared to try out without pay before, and that person's level was not very good. However, because he worked very hard, he made rapid progress in the trial training, and he started to receive his salary in about a week. Haha, this is how traditional concepts harm people.

Most job applicants love to talk big.

For example, the plan is generally said to be no problem at first. For fresh graduates, we usually issue a task statement for door design. Of course, the applicants say that it is no problem, so we ask them to come up with 2-3 plans in 3-6 days. The result is that everyone is speechless (this is the current college degree) Performance of general architecture students). For those who claim to have worked for several years and claim to have planning capabilities, we usually require them to draw 2-3 door sketches within 30 minutes, and we do not require them to be good works. However, the result is exactly the same: they think the time is too short. So we asked for 1 day, but we still failed. In real life, most plans require 1-3 days to produce a sketch to facilitate communication with Party A. In fact, we don't really look at the ability to quickly solve problems, but rather examine whether the applicant has the courage to face challenges and take responsibility. ateacher has always believed that proficiency can be trained, but quality and concepts are brought by oneself. Especially the planning talents are by no means ordinary "soldiers".

Let’s take another example of the renderings. Generally, we require applicants to find a relatively simple photo in a book and copy it on the spot, but the time can be determined by themselves. So far, no applicant has said that it will take a few days. They all said that it will take a few hours. Even if I remind him that it will take a week, it still won't help. The result can be imagined. Many applicants slip away without anyone noticing! In fact, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t do well after a week, because what we really examine is the applicant’s work style in order to determine how long it will take to become a “hand”. As for the rendering level, it can be trained. Look, everyone, you said it would take a few hours, but if you can’t finish it by then, you will lose face and have to run away, so why bother? It's impossible even if you think about it: the machine doesn't belong to you, and it will take time just to get used to it. It’s understandable to be anxious to find a job, but don’t let people think you are a master from the beginning. Even if your starting salary is high, won't your salary be reduced in the future? Vice versa. hehe.

A graduate from Shenyang Construction Engineering once applied for a job at a small urban design institute. Since he was definitely a rare talent in the local area, the institute was overjoyed and promised to meet all his requirements as much as possible. As a result, this brother asked for an annual salary of 60,000 yuan plus a house. The hospital hoped that he would cash in after working for a year. The result is of course conceivable. The dean later got to know the ateacher and said during the meeting: "Actually, we can meet these conditions, but what is his level? Can he often win bids? How long will it take for our hospital to wait until his skills and skills mature? Just after graduation. It seems that the company will not start a second business with us if he demands it like this. Once his values ??rise, we will be in trouble." This is the reason of the hospital. But think about it on the other hand, if your annual salary is much higher than the local level, isn’t it putting a lot of pressure on yourself? It's like paying off a debt. “The treatment is earned by doing it, not by asking for it.

"Most people are still in a state of planned economy thinking. Maybe you will say: What if someone treats me as free labor? Answer: You can take what you learn with you, and at least you can use other people's live sources and machines for free. I have been trained. This is a typical example of "high vision but low means".

A boss of a group once asked me to take charge of his design office. I said, "If I go, I will." I started as a sweeper, but I am sure that I will become a vice president within three years instead of the director of the design office. "Why? Because a designer cleaner will definitely be more helpful to the company's business, and the company will discover your value step by step, always in a state of excitement, rather than a "checking" state! At the same time, in the current staff turnover In more serious times, if you remain loyal, you will definitely be reused. Since most people believe that you must strive for a high salary when applying for a job, the so-called "majority's concept often represents a wrong traditional concept."

< p>So the key to applying for a job is to "suppress first and then promote"!

2. When to change jobs? ----A logical question for smart people

The total loss of ateacher's studio Dozens of people. In addition to salary, benefits and other reasons, it is a common reality that many employees think they are "ok" soon after being trained. People have headaches: they are not good enough to complete and succeed on their own, but they are making progress. Of course, if the salary is not raised at this time, it will dampen the enthusiasm for progress. However, there have been many incidents of people resigning soon after the salary increase. The reason is that people around them say otherwise. The company's salary is higher at the same level. In fact, the salary depends entirely on the benefits it brings to the company (especially if you win the bid without the upper management worrying) and your loyalty to the company. If the salary is not satisfactory, you must find the problem yourself: no. The boss sees you as indispensable but gives you a low salary.

Almost all employees leave after working for one to two years. It is the most uneconomical time for the employee to leave, and for the company. Generally speaking, the short-term benefits don't matter, because the company pays less than what you get (when you are not sure about the level and loyalty of employees, they generally won't give you high benefits). But if you work loyally in the company for about three years, you can get a lot of benefits. Trusted: At this time, you are basically "hands-on" and you have a good understanding of the company's operating model, which means that you can work together to do "big work" in a tacit understanding. Only by doing "big work" can you get high wages. This is common sense. At this time, if you take the initiative to help the company with training, publicity, conflict resolution, etc., you will naturally be reused and get higher remuneration, and you can definitely enter the decision-making level.

< p>Of course, the condition is that the company you work for must be a promising company! This refers to the future rather than the current situation: companies that are currently in an entrepreneurial state and have a promising future are the best, because as long as you work hard and are loyal, you will be.” As one of the "entrepreneurs", the rewards can be imagined! This is one of the shortcuts, and it is much easier than standing out or fighting intrigues in a large company.

There are also many employees who follow the arrangements of their parents and leave. The reason is that my parents are always good for me. In fact, you should judge your parents at this time: If they are successful, you must listen. If not, I have seen successful people consult me ??many times! For people who have accomplished nothing in their 30s because they listened to their parents who failed to find jobs when they were young, there has even been an incident where almost all employees of Ateacher's own studio were poached, with parents being the main reason (parents even contributed money) shareholding). Although teacher has reminded parents many times that it is a scam, it is of no avail. Two years have passed, and it turns out that everything has been lost! The poor teacher had to start training the backbone again.

3. Who do you work for? ----Private yet public issues

Many people laugh at themselves as "wage earners", as it seems that working as a job is very disgraceful. At the same time, since I am a "part-time worker", I will complain, be irresponsible, and be lazy, especially if I don't have orders, I will stay idle. In fact, this is because you don’t know who you are working for.

Few people really work for themselves, because there is always a "boss" in their head!

Remember: work for yourself! Private yet public! !

As a result, once you have the opportunity, you can start your own business, while holding shares in the original company, and become a big boss!

Zhou Xudong, who once had the Northeastern Institute, was on the China Youth Daily. He graduated from a junior college and could only draw pictures for others. But he would work on the unit's plans in private after get off work (when others would make one for each person, he would make two or more, don't forget, he was secretly drawing official drawings), and then compare with others and ask for advice after work. In the end, he succeeded and won consecutive bids, becoming the youngest senior engineer in the institute. Even the old architects respected him very much. I have vomited blood when I was most tired. You probably don’t need to vomit blood, but what do you think?

Who do you work for? !

Do you know how to do an internship now?
