People who change jobs frequently will eventually find that their development is seriously restricted by their own experiences.
Mr. Y, born in 1975, graduated from graduate school for eight years and skipped 10 units in his career, but now he is in a career dilemma. From last year's National Day to now, I have sent hundreds of resumes and talked about more than 20 units, and none of them have been hired. Even if a headhunting company is entrusted, there has been no result. Seeing that May Day was coming, I was a little anxious, so I found me through my friends, hoping to help with career counseling and planning.
"Brilliance" in Eight Years and Ten Jumps
I gradually learned from the resume he handed me first and the conversation with myself later that Mr. Y served as the president of the student union and the director of the school activity department during his college years. With his wisdom, passion, eloquence and fluent English, he won warm applause and was sought after by female students. He recalled that he was still immersed in pride and happiness.
After graduating from college, Mr. Y was sent directly to graduate school. Then he entered the government as an excellent graduate and became an office worker. A year later, he resigned and went to a well-known foreign company. Half a year later, he resigned and went to work in a large private enterprise. One year later, he was promoted to the deputy position of middle management. Half a year later, he was promoted to middle manager, and after only one week, he jumped ship again. This time, he jumped to work as an office secretary in a large state-owned enterprise. After more than eight months, he really couldn't stand it. He resigned and went to work in a foreign-funded consulting company. After working for more than half a year, I resigned again. This time, he himself felt the difficulty in finding a job and ran around looking for a job. I used it for more than four months before and after, and finally I was introduced by a friend to a modest network company to do office work. It has been reused in this network company, from the deputy director of the office to the director of the office and assistant to the general manager, with a cycle of *** 18 months. However, when he was appointed by the deputy general manager, he resigned the next day-working as an office secretary in a larger private enterprise. After working for five months, I lost my job because I was involved in an internal dispute in a private enterprise. Later, I was introduced by a shareholder of this private enterprise to work in a research room temporarily, which was considered as help and subject analysis. But he really couldn't stand the job as a research assistant, so he began to look for jobs frequently. In fact, in the chat, I also found that he had worked in more than eight units: the other one left for half a month; Another family worked for three days and left without pay. The reason is that there are too many internal problems in these two units, and there is nothing to do when they go.
The amazing discovery of background investigation
Later, we also made a more detailed background investigation on him, and found that Mr. Y has outstanding advantages and disadvantages. But to our surprise, he pays too much attention to himself!
His four job-hopping actions all have the same feature, that is, once he got the fame and benefits he thought, he left immediately: the first job-hopping was within one month after he entered the office as a college graduate and obtained his official status through a one-year probation period; The second time, I left the first private enterprise just after I was promoted from deputy director to director. The third time, in a large state-owned enterprise, a house just came out a month later; For the fourth time, on the first day, it was announced that the Internet company was promoted to deputy general manager and left the company the next day!
The background investigation also found that every time he changed jobs, he "self-promoted" his position in his previous unit by one or two levels! For example, in the first private enterprise, I worked as the office director for a week at most, and wrote the assistant to the president on my resume; The second network company is the assistant general manager, and the deputy general manager is less than 24 hours old, but the resume indicates that it is a senior CEO. Finally, this large private enterprise used to be the president's secretary, but the resume is written as the secretary of the board of directors.
Reasons why headhunters give up recommendation
The two characteristics of Mr. Y's excessive ego and self-promotion made the headhunting company give up his recommendation.
Imagine any organization willing to use such a highly self-centered person? As an enterprise, whether it is a material reward for managers (including ordinary employees), an honor reward or a job promotion, there is a common purpose: I hope that the recipient or the recipient will take on greater responsibilities or do more things and make greater contributions to the organization. However, after receiving these honors, positions and material rewards, Mr. Y turned and left without even staying overnight. He took the previous day's employment certificate as capital, and went to his new employer to apply for a job the next day-he only cared about himself and didn't think about how the employer thought about the problem at all.
Of course, headhunting companies will not recommend "self-promotion" because self-promotion is more self-boasting and dishonesty. Of course, I'm not saying that a manager like Mr. Y can't find a job in the workplace, but I believe at least one responsible headhunting company will not recommend him. Because such people simply can't stand the professional background check.
High-end workplaces refuse to change jobs frequently
However, Mr. Y never understood why he couldn't find a job. I wish I could help him. Therefore, I also gave him a very pertinent career counseling and gave him some very kind suggestions.
You know, most of the companies that can entrust us with headhunting are excellent companies in the industry and the region, so of course we need excellent talents, not to mention the positions entrusted are high-end positions. For the high-end positions entrusted by these excellent enterprises, we have to do professional background investigation. Once we know that the candidates have such frequent job-hopping experience, we will definitely not recommend them. If these high-end job seekers hide some job-hopping stages, they will soon find out that because the professional circle is very small, people with a lot of professional experience can never stand the background check. So you're welcome to say that people who frequently change jobs like Mr. Y have almost lost the qualification to entrust headhunting companies to change jobs, in other words, they have almost lost the qualification to hold high-end positions in excellent enterprises.
If Mr. Y does not entrust a headhunting company and applies for a resume, there are only three results: if he writes a real resume, no one wants it, let alone a high-end position, even ordinary positions in ordinary enterprises will not be considered. If you modify your resume, or your resume is false, you apply for a high-end position, and there is almost no possibility of employment, because employers in high-end positions usually do background checks. Don't worry, even if the recruiter has no experience and doesn't conduct strict professional background investigation, he will be embarrassed to leave for half a year at most. Because once people like Mr. Y have achieved high and important positions from ordinary positions, they will float to the surface and become the center of discussion in organizations or industries, and of course, the center of problems. Therefore, before long, his own history will become the common sense of most members of the organization, and people who know his details in the industry will also pass on his old age to the organization. Therefore, resume counterfeiters will soon leave in despair.
It can be seen that the future career of managers who frequently change jobs is by no means sunny. So job-hopping is normal, and frequent job-hopping is a big trouble for your career development.
An analysis of the causes of random job-hopping
Now, let's analyze why some people (especially young managers) change jobs frequently.
From the analysis of personality: this kind of people are talented and have dreams, strong opinions and strong self-awareness. Talent and dreams make him constantly pursue new things, so he has the capital to jump ship when he is young, constantly jump ship, constantly resign, join the job, and then resign, and so on. Having a personal opinion is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. This kind of person usually works hard and effectively when he first joins the company, and will soon be appreciated, but he will soon bring his own opinions to work, and finally directly challenge the company's development strategy, thinking that only he is right, and finally he will be depressed once his opinions are not adopted. Because people with strong self-awareness pay attention to the realization of self-value, they often ignore the goals of the organization, so they will leave if their values are not realized, and they will leave if their values are realized! Therefore, the result of paying too much attention to oneself is frequent resignation, and never considering whether the organization's goals are achieved when leaving.
People with this kind of personality, in today's relatively relaxed environment, fully released themselves, publicized their own personality, and enabled them to make achievements in a short time, which was recognized by the organization, but at the same time they were not satisfied with their own personality and pursuit, or satisfied with the material, honor and position they pursued, and left soon.
But the cost of doing so is something they usually don't consider.
The price of job-hopping at will
Many young people in the workplace, most of them have this kind of workplace experience: after 10 years of pre-workplace reincarnation, they find that they can no longer be promoted, and the reason why they can't be promoted is because of frequent job-hopping experience. However, the path you take cannot be changed, so once you take a step, you cannot take it back. This is the price of jumping ship at will.
The times are developing and the society is progressing. Today, we have a relatively free workplace. As professionals, we should cherish this freedom, not waste it. However, in today's relatively free market economy, many so-called workplace elites do not know how to cherish it. But under the banner of pursuing personal dreams, he squandered his freedom. They don't want to, they quit when they are not satisfied, and they frequently change jobs at will. As a result, the whole organization is inefficient and personal career is hovering at a low level. If you don't cherish the results, you will be punished, so that your career flowers will wither prematurely and your professional adolescence will be greatly shortened. This is all the result of your own abuse.
On the contrary, in this era of relative freedom in the workplace, it must be those who are not impetuous and calm down to do things. Only by settling down, settling down in an industry and settling down in a specific organization can we become the pillar of the future workplace. As a professional, it takes at least four or five years to be valuable in an excellent organization, and then you can learn the essence of an excellent organization. Otherwise, you are superficial, change jobs frequently, and you will learn nothing. In the building of the future society, you will be bricks at most, not pillars.
Maybe people like Mr. Y will say, I quit voluntarily, I am willing to fail, and others have no right to interfere. However, in such a non-binding era, everyone jumped ship at will. What is the result? It is not only the personal loss of job-hoppers, but also the organizational damage, which increases the operating cost of the whole society and wastes the human resources of the whole society. Our government and country must pay the price for this relatively free workplace. This can not but arouse the vigilance and attention of those who love job-hopping and the whole society.
The future of random job-hoppers.
Some people will ask: what is the career direction of people like Mr. Y? The answer is: first, continue to wander in low-level positions and wander between small companies. Of course, we must continue to endure low income and many uncertainties, and at the same time we must endure the regret that our ideals and ambitions will never be realized. The second is to start your own business, but the probability of failure is at least 99%. Why? Because people who are not practical in their work, it is more difficult to succeed in starting a business. Entrepreneurship requires practicality and patience, which is much higher than working, and requires more persistence and patience. Therefore, it will be the biggest trap for an impetuous person like Mr. Y to start a business. It is better to wander in the low-end position in the workplace and end this kind of workplace life.
Some people will say that such a person is suitable to be a professor in a university to speak. Then he must write down his doctorate patiently before he can complain to the students. Some people suggest such people to be civil servants, but they are certainly not suitable for such people. Freelancers are the era of relative freedom at present, which is the most suitable occupation for such people. But the career curve of freelancers is even more uncertain. The example that can be referenced in history is Liu Yong, who deliberately wrote lyrics-this is the highest professional achievement of such people in history. But it is not enough that most of these people have been wandering and down and out all their lives. ;
