Job hunting is unconventional

Last year, on the eve of her niece Xiaowen's graduation, her father asked her to find two relatively easy jobs: one was to work as a secretary in a friend's company, answering the phone and sorting documents; the other was to work as a front desk service in a newly opened bank. The monthly salary is more than 1,200 yuan. She has not left school yet, and her next job has been contacted, and her classmates envy her "father" for her ability.

However, Xiaowen did not want to follow the path that her father had paved for her. She had her own career plan, and she had to think about danger first. After the university enrollment expanded, job seekers every year were like crucian carp crossing the river. It was really difficult for her, a business college student, to find a good job with a professional counterpart. It would be better to let go of her posture, start from the lowest level, accumulate experience, and move towards a set goal, so that she can be ready to go to the workplace in the future, with ease.

Refusing her father's arrangement, through online recruitment, she went to a private company on the coast to become a foreign trade documentary. The company does not care about food and housing, and the monthly salary is only 1,300 yuan. Excluding all kinds of expenses and even family subsidies. Father is very puzzled about this.

Being a documentary clerk is about learning skills, being familiar with various export links, understanding commodities and markets. Although it is hard, she does it very seriously. In the first three months, the boss transferred her to a positive position because there was no mistake. In the second half of the year, she began to take orders by herself and became a familiar player in the industry. Her monthly salary increased to 2,500 yuan. In the first half of this year, she was promoted to sales supervisor and served as a "golden rice bowl". A few classmates who worked as customer service or secretaries were "short-lived", or were fired by the boss or replaced by younger and more experienced fresh graduates.

Xiaowen said that the reason why she has a "golden rice bowl" is that the customer contact and operating experience she has accumulated cannot be replaced by others. Even if the private company recruits new people, she is not afraid. At this level, it is easy to find jobs in the factories of peers. If you open a small company yourself, you can also get a business. So far, her father has praised her for being very scheming in her job search and seeing her farther than he did.

Coincidentally, one of Xiaowen's classmates did not take those easy jobs that depended on eating "youth rice" for a while, but entered the private preschool education, one step at a time, teaching English to the kindergarten class first, and then to the lower grades of the primary school. During this time, she kept charging, learning from famous teachers, and gradually became famous. This year, after open recruitment, she was hired by a key primary school.

The above two examples show that you need to find a different way to apply for a job, not choose a job that is easy to be replaced by others and seems good for the time being. If you dive into "real kung fu" and master effective resources, even a famous university student or graduate student may not be able to take your job. In today's increasingly oversupplied talent market, employers are more practical and more willing to recruit those who can bring immediate benefits. Those with "hard" diplomas need to be down-to-earth in order to achieve unique advantages and take the initiative in employment under any circumstances.
