Competition in the workplace is fierce. Will you consider settling for the second best when looking for a job?

Hello, I will. At present, the market situation in the workplace is not good and the employment pressure is great. In the process of job hunting, many people are struggling whether to settle for the second best. The company they want to go to has not got the offer for a long time. If they continue to wait, they may lose their existing job opportunities, but they are afraid that they will regret it, so the next best thing may be a better choice.

1, save the necessary material strength to lay the foundation for development.

Jiang Ziya also sold it before receiving Wang Wen's invitation; Liu Bei had to sell straw sandals before establishing Shu State. The Monkey King will serve his sentence in Wuxing Mountain before joining the Tang Priest. Work is always imperfect, and you rarely receive your favorite target offer, but before that, you also need to save your material strength. Only by supporting yourself and living stably can you have the opportunity to do what you like and have the confidence to realize your dreams.

2, always keep the pace of work, do not forget the workplace skills. The smooth completion of work often requires a fast and steady pace. Being unemployed at home for a long time will break the rhythm of work and change the "power stereotype" of work and study that was originally established. When we need to re-engage in a highly competitive working environment, that is, we must re-establish or restore the "dynamic stereotype" that has been destroyed, psychological pressure will increase, and more or less maladjustment, even irritability and fear will occur.

In other words, long-term unemployment will destroy our work rhythm and make us forget relevant skills, which is not conducive to quickly adapting to the workplace next time. 3. Work brings a sense of accomplishment and dignity, and helps to realize self-worth.

Long-term unemployment can not only bring us a sense of accomplishment, but also make us divorced from society, lack of self-confidence and dare not socialize, thus becoming anxious, lazy, under increasing pressure and falling into negative emotions of self-denial and self-doubt. It can be seen that we need the sense of accomplishment brought by work and also need to make contributions in social activities to gain value.

4, versatile, do not suffer. With the rise of talent economy and knowledge economy, enterprises have higher and higher requirements for the quality of employees. "All-rounder in the workplace" can not only help enterprises save costs and shorten the training cycle of talents, but also adapt themselves to market demand and stand out in the employment force. Even if you don't get your favorite offer for the time being, if you want to join other jobs, you should try to choose a job with certain technical content and learn different skills. If you find that other industries you choose are stable and have good development prospects, you can also consider cross-border employment.

Work and study, don't forget your innovative spirit. Even if you are just looking for a temporary springboard, don't be blindly satisfied with a job that is too far away. You can find a job that is relatively easy to manage or humanized, preferably related to your own career planning, which not only reduces financial risks, but also has time to recharge and improve yourself. When you are ready and feel that you have the ability to attack your favorite company, it will be a safer way to interview, win the offer in one fell swoop and make a smooth transition.

6, a correct attitude, never perfunctory.

There are a few people in this world who are engaged in their favorite jobs, but being serious should become an attitude, an ability and a habit. A person who is not serious is a loser everywhere. Only by jumping out of the "fixed mentality" and establishing a "growth mentality" can we do every job well and find more work happiness and value. Don't be discouraged even if you don't get your favorite offer for the time being. There is not only one way to choose in life. We should be ready at any time and seize the opportunity when it comes!

To sum up, people in the workplace, even if they are looked down upon at first, are dedicated to being a person they respect and know how to "settle for second best", and will eventually realize the butterfly change in life in repeated setbacks and blows.

Good luck with your work.
