Character introduction: Xiaozhuang, an ordinary undergraduate. After failing in the postgraduate entrance examination in 2005, in June, she began to do copywriting planning in a real estate company in Hangzhou. /kloc-quit to study oral English after 0/year and re-plan his career.
"Looking back at my job-hunting experience in the past two years, from postgraduate entrance examination, civil service examination, to finding a job, and now resigning, my work has returned to the zero starting point. However, the feelings brought by these experiences are lifelong experiences. " Recently, Xiaozhuang told reporters about his job search story.
In the first semester of my junior year, I found that I didn't like working in my major. After careful consideration, I decided to join the postgraduate entrance examination army.
By the end of 2003, I had been promoted to junior year.
Junior year is a grade that can't go up and down. Looking around, the seniors are already busy with their work. In retrospect, freshmen and sophomores are still enjoying the freshness and interest brought by college life.
Senior brothers and sisters in junior year are divided into several factions: most of them still live the life of "classroom-dormitory-canteen" as always, while a few of them make plans for graduation in advance, take part-time jobs, find internships in units, and start preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, all of which are varied and show their magical powers.
At the end of that year, I also decided to join the postgraduate entrance examination army.
Many people call graduate school "suspension of employment". After being admitted to graduate school, they will spend two or three more years studying at school, which will also add some weight to their future job hunting.
The reason why I took the postgraduate entrance examination is simple. My major is journalism, but after more than a month's summer internship, I found that I didn't like it or fit it.
This discovery surprised me. If I am not suitable for this major, where is my way out after graduation?
So, I thought of the postgraduate entrance examination. Although I don't like to engage in this industry, I like to learn the theoretical knowledge of journalism. Postgraduate entrance examination can make me get a better education, develop into research and realize self-appreciation.
After making this decision, my college life suddenly became busy and full.
The school has set up a special self-study classroom for graduate students, which has become the place where I report every day. If you have classes, you will go to study in the evening and study in the morning and evening on weekends.
Sitting there reviewing every day, watching more and more people come to study for themselves, the atmosphere of postgraduate entrance examination is getting stronger and stronger.
In the year of preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, many friends asked me about my mood and preparation. It is impossible not to be nervous. Everyone hopes to have a good result after spending a whole year. But to tell you how nervous I am, I think reviewing at ordinary times is no different, just spending more time and energy.
During this year, many people who were originally high-spirited withdrew from the postgraduate entrance examination team one after another because of pressure. Every time I hear such news, I am moved more than surprised. This is the biggest pressure in the preparation process.
I have thought about it more than once, but I can think about it again. I have worked hard for so long, and giving up is equivalent to giving up all my efforts. Therefore, whenever I have this idea, I will hide in the dormitory all day playing computer and watching Korean dramas to decompress myself.
In this way, one year passed, and in early 2005, the postgraduate entrance examination was over.
After my grades came out, I missed China Renmin University because I didn't learn my theoretical knowledge well. After a year of hard work, I couldn't help crying.
After I failed in the postgraduate entrance examination, I began to submit resumes constantly, and I was busy with interviews and work.
In April 2005, I missed the "suspension of employment" and joined a large job search team.
At that time, the atmosphere of job hunting for college graduates in Hang Cheng was already very strong. Weekly job fairs in the talent market, job fairs for graduates from major universities, and some graduates who have not found jobs have become frequent visitors to job fairs.
I avoided the crowded and noisy job fairs and chose online job hunting. Stay in the dormitory every day, read information online and submit resumes.
The process of finding a job is not particularly smooth. Due to the lack of knowledge in other fields, it is impossible to change careers. In addition to the media, there are also secretarial and copywriting work of journalism. I submitted a lot of resumes to large and small companies, and only a few received interview notices.
Later, the school recommended a real estate company. After the interview passed, I officially went to work on June 15, and was responsible for copywriting planning in the real estate company.
I have often heard that companies prefer experienced people, and it is difficult for fresh graduates to find jobs. I don't think so. After I went to work, I really felt the employment pressure of fresh graduates.
The real estate company where I work is a new company. Senior students are busy with their work and are unwilling to teach us novices. Although my post is copywriting planning, I actually write about company activities and help organize information. I usually work at leisure, and only work overtime when the company engages in activities. What I do most every day is to sit there and chat online.
Over time, my passion for work is getting weaker and weaker, and my sense of oppression is getting stronger and stronger.
Because this is far from my ideal job.
My definition of work is: at least I can learn some experience. But in this real estate company, I want to learn something and no one wants to teach me. I want to take part in a planning, but most of them are handyman jobs.
After a long time, I get impatient.
After working for a year, I resigned, and then I signed up for oral English learning and started all over again.
On April 30th this year, I decided to resign from the company.
This is my most contradictory moment. Without this job, my life has returned to the starting line. When to start again and where to go, everything is a bit slim. But if I continue this job and live an idle life all day without challenge and passion, I don't think this should be owned by young people.
After careful consideration, I chose to leave and signed up for oral English learning.
In the following days, I resumed my life as a student: I rode my bike to class early every morning, killed time in front of the computer after class, and sometimes I had to deal with a lot of homework.
At this time, I didn't make too many plans for the future. Learning spoken English is just to save your strength and prepare for your next job.
But after I resigned, I carefully sorted out my thoughts. Why did I quit my job after only one year?
The working environment has some reasons, but it is not the key factor. The main reason should be the gap between ideal and reality. I don't like this kind of work, so I am more easily influenced by the external environment.
Looking back on the job-hunting experience before and after graduation, I feel like a failure. I chose a major I didn't like when I applied for the college entrance examination. As a result, I was blind when I was looking for a job, which was very troublesome. After graduating from college, if you are engaged in other industries, not only will your professional knowledge not be brought into full play, but you will spend more time studying, and your education and experience will be lacking.
Fortunately, after experiencing these failures personally, I have a clearer orientation and goal for my career.
There is an advertisement that says "only choose the right one, not the expensive one", which I think is more suitable for finding a job. Everyone should have his own career and work hard for it. Work is not a matter of one year or two, and it needs long-term unremitting efforts to achieve career success.
I said to myself: "The road ahead is still very long, and the road ahead will be wonderful!" " "
