Now is the peak time for college students to find jobs after graduation. Many college students may have laid the foundation for their seniors to find jobs in their sophomore and junior years, but for quite a few students, many people are blind in finding jobs, write their resumes beautifully, and then take them to job fairs, thinking that they can find a good job and fight for it all their lives, but in fact, the result is often not their satisfaction or the company itself doesn't like it. Today, let's discuss how to find a job that we expect.

Step 1: Make clear what kind of job is good and what kind of job is satisfactory.

What kind of job is a "good job"? Some people think that as long as the salary is high, it is a good job; Some people think that good company benefits are good jobs; Some people think that so-called "iron rice bowls" like civil servants and teachers are good jobs. In fact, everyone has different views on their work. So, what is the standard for evaluating the quality of a work?

Salary, position, working environment, work intensity, or development space? Everyone's answer must be different. In fact, what others think of as a "good job" may not be your first choice. For example, some people think that the teacher's job is stable and well paid in all aspects, but after their own personal practice, they think that the teacher's job is to attend classes and correct homework, as if doing almost the same job every day. Today, they can see themselves decades later, their work is boring and they have to choose again. Therefore, it is really inappropriate to use only one word "good" to describe the work.

In fact, there is no good or bad job, only suitable. So how should we judge whether this job is suitable for us?

First of all, we should know ourselves, including our knowledge, skills, personality, hobbies and physical condition. Before looking for a job, you must have a comprehensive understanding of yourself, and you must know what kind of work you can do and what kind of work you are not suitable for. At the same time, it is best to be interested in this job. The so-called "interest is the best teacher" needs passion. A job that you are not interested in, I am afraid that you will fail if you work without passion.

Secondly, when looking for a job, don't be arrogant. If you make up your mind to do the work that you obviously can't do, the result must be rejected. A person's ability is the foundation of a job. What kind of ability determines what level a person will be in. But in practice, besides "applicability", there are two extremes. First, "overqualified", one's ability is not recognized, and one's ability has been achieved but one's position has not been found. Second, when the "overqualified" company is promoted, regardless of whether the personal ability is achieved, it will rush to drive the ducks to the shelves and let you do a job that is far beyond your current ability.

Third, the most important thing is to benefit your future development. As the saying goes, "everything is difficult before it is easy", so you must be cautious in your first job after graduating from college. How much room for development can this job provide us? Directly connected with the development space is the enterprise platform. When choosing a company, it is not necessarily a big company or a foreign-funded enterprise, and there will be great room for development. Be sure to make it clear that the development space is a line of your career development, which can be composed of many stages and company platforms. When a platform cannot provide development space, it can be re-selected.

Step 2: We need to know the company we choose and its basic requirements for graduates.

We need to know our chosen occupation and industry. The job contains three aspects of information:

Industry, company, position. Only by clarifying these three points can we determine the nature, responsibilities, required abilities and technical requirements of a job, and understand whether this job is suitable for you and whether you are interested.

Understand the job content, nature and requirements for the quality of employees.

We can ask relatives and friends who have done relevant work, and we can also ask other people who have done this work. They are experienced and profound, and can provide instructive information for us novices who have never done this job. Their failures and lessons in the work process can play a preventive role for us, and their successful experiences can also be used for reference.

In fact, before looking for a job, make clear what kind of talent the company wants you to be. The first is quality, the second is ability, and the last is knowledge.

Quality: First, we must have the spirit of hard work. Employers dare not use graduates, largely because they think that graduates born after 1990 are spoiled, weak in fighting spirit and low in vision. The second is to be serious and responsible in doing things and be brave in taking responsibility. If you make a mistake at work, you should stand up bravely. Serious and responsible people can often find good jobs. Third, we must have the spirit of unity and cooperation; In addition, you must have basic communication and social literacy.

Ability: first of all, oral expression and writing ability. For introverts, they should practice speaking more about six months before looking for a job, dare to speak and have something to say. In addition, there are communication skills, the ability to acquire and apply knowledge, and the ability to acquire and process information.

Knowledge: Two-thirds of four-year college students are studying professional knowledge, but they need a variety of knowledge in practical work. In the ranking of talent demand, marketers have always topped the list, but enterprises do not want liberal arts students who specialize in marketing, but have work experience. Work and study are completely different, so we should adjust our thinking and mentality. Good grades do not necessarily mean that you can find a good job.

Nowadays, many enterprises, especially foreign enterprises, often pay attention to whether job seekers have worked as student cadres, whether they have organizational skills, and whether they are willing to volunteer for social welfare when it is important. These are actually examining interpersonal relationships and organizational and coordination skills.

Step 3: After all these things are ready, go to targeted job hunting.

Knowing what you can do, what you want to do, and whether the company has any prospects are all issues that must be considered in job hunting.

When looking for a job, we should focus on three points: "I have the ability to do this job well, my requirements are reasonable, and the company can give me a platform for sustainable development." You must learn to sell yourself so that the company will recognize and hire you.

I believe that after the above three steps are completed, a job you expect is getting closer and closer to you.
