Case Analysis of Frequent Job-hopping
Miss Wu, 24, graduated from a key university. She worked for about two years and changed jobs five times. Her industry involves real estate, cosmetics, education consulting, media and so on. And her specific work also includes service, marketing, planning and editing.
Miss Wu majored in international trade, but her strong point is Chinese, and her writing and oral expression skills are excellent. I worked as an assistant professor at school, found a joining project myself, and acted as a city agent in my hometown. The previous operation was successful. Because of these experiences, Miss Wu had high expectations for herself when she graduated. She doesn't want to start from a very low level in a big company, but wants to enter a small but promising company, where she can be valued from the beginning, grow at the fastest speed, and then start her own business. The following is Miss Wu's resume:
From September 5438+0, 2006 to June 2002 1, a well-known real estate company served as the property director, mainly responsible for handling complaints and other matters. The work is leisurely and stable, and the benefits are satisfactory. But Miss Wu thinks this job is not challenging and there is not much room for development.
From June 2002 to June 2002, I worked as a brand manager in a joint venture cosmetics company. The boss of this company attaches great importance to Miss Wu when recruiting, and Miss Wu thinks that she can make great achievements after entering this company. At the beginning, Miss Wu was full of confidence and prepared a complete set of enterprise documents, investment promotion plans, foreign contracts and negotiations with customers. However, it is gradually found that the boss's business style is very conservative and stingy, and negotiations are often delayed or even ended in discord because of small discounts or little profit distribution. Moreover, all products are produced by small workshop-style processing plants, and the quality of products cannot be guaranteed. Miss Wu, who originally wanted to grow up with the company, felt that the future was bleak and she resolutely resigned despite the boss's retention.
From June 2002 to September 2002, a Taiwan-funded educational institution mainly sold well-known English textbooks. This company is somewhat similar to an insurance company, paying great attention to the training of employees, and even controlling employees' thoughts with a unique corporate culture. Miss Wu, who is a little idealistic, was attracted by the seemingly warm atmosphere of the company and accepted the job with no basic salary but only commission. It can be said that Miss Wu works very well in this company. As a newcomer, her performance topped the list in the first week, which was highly valued by her boss and welcomed by her colleagues. However, after working for a period of time, the high-load operation here made her body seriously overdrawn and it was difficult to continue to support. She questioned the company's corporate culture from her boss's indifferent attitude towards other employees with poor performance, and finally left the company with a sigh of regret from her boss and colleagues.
From September 2002 to March 2003, I worked as a sales public relations manager and editor in a consulting and planning company. During her work in our company, Miss Wu compiled four books on marketing, planned some cooperation projects with newspapers and other media, and recruited and trained many salespeople. Past work twists and turns, rash job-hopping experience? Sequela? At this time, Miss Wu found herself more and more afraid to communicate with customers. When the company holds a business meeting, she can easily guide the sales staff to solve the problems encountered in the work, but she is unwilling or afraid to communicate with customers. Sometimes she forces herself to face the clients, but in fact she plays very well. This fear, or an obstacle to communication, bothers Miss Wu, but it is difficult to overcome. She told her boss that she didn't want to do any more marketing work, but when there were important projects, the boss still appointed Miss Wu. Miss Wu, unable to adjust her mentality, chose to resign again.
Since March 2003, Miss Wu has been working as a reporter in a magazine. Compared with the previous rush and performance pressure, the environment here is much easier, and it also frees Miss Wu from her nervous psychological state. But can this job really make Miss Wu feel a sense of belonging?
Looking back on two years' work experience, Miss Wu often feels a lot of confusion and confusion. Compared with when she just graduated, she can't even find her own development direction. From the beginning, I wholeheartedly hoped to do a challenging job, and I was full of enthusiasm and yearning for marketing. Later, I had a fear, resistance and disgust for marketing. Miss Wu Can can't explain her psychological changes until now, and she doesn't know how to adjust. Teacher Wu's character has two sides. In an active group, she will be very active, in a quiet group, she will be more boring than others. With the respect and encouragement of her boss and colleagues, she will work well; And if she feels that she is not valued, she may soon become depressed until she chooses to escape. She doesn't like jobs that are too comfortable. In order to challenge herself and improve herself, she changed one job after another, but she felt as if she was still standing still. The status quo made her lose her direction and didn't know where to go.
Expert analysis
Experts from the Southern Talent Market Evaluation Center conducted an investigation on Miss Wu? New 16pf personality assessment? Having a deeper conversation with her, it is not difficult to find that Miss Wu's frequent job-hopping experience has a great relationship with her own personality characteristics.
Miss Wu has a strong imagination, which gives her a strong sense of? Perfectionism tendency, which makes it possible for her to overestimate herself and blindly value her job when choosing employment. Once the actual work situation is not as smooth as she imagined, there are many opportunities to show herself, and she is highly valued by her boss and welcomed by her colleagues. She will soon be disappointed and it will be difficult to continue to adapt, but she will pin her hopes on her next job. At the same time, Miss Wu has a strong sensitivity, which makes her mood easily influenced by external environmental factors and others. Maybe her boss or colleagues give her an opinion just for her work, but it will be taken as a signal to deny her, and even lead to depression, trouble and want to escape.
On the other hand, Miss Wu's poor standardization, she doesn't like being bound by some rules of conduct, and it is difficult to adapt to the current corporate environment in China, which is also an important reason for her frequent job hopping.
Analyzing the basic characteristics of Miss Wu from the evaluation results;
Strong comprehensive quality, good psychological quality, outgoing personality, lively, good at communicating with people and strong interpersonal skills; Self-confidence, initiative, have their own ideas, hope to achieve, but the goal is not clear, many ideas, may be impatient; Preference is flexible and changeable, and the mood is easily influenced by the environment.
It is suggested that Ms. Wu Can be engaged in the training of lecturers, marketing planning, journalists, human resources and other aspects, or she can choose to start her own business to avoid some tedious, trivial and routine work, and at the same time further clarify her personal goals and development opportunities so as to make more informed decisions among various choices.
For people who frequently change jobs like Miss Wu, experts believe that at the beginning of their career, the problem of frequent job-hopping is not great. But every change should bring different experiences to job-hoppers, who should learn something, that is to say, in retrospect, those seemingly chaotic changes should have a clear track. When making changes, don't make hasty decisions, but consider them comprehensively. I suggest designing a career plan for myself, from now until I am 30 years old. Set goals for each stage, so you won't be so blind when you jump ship.
The influence and harm of frequent job-hopping on oneself
Job hunting is actually a very important thing in life, and you must not be careless. But in real social life, as a professional human resource manager, I see that too many people are not mature in job hunting psychology, especially young people who are not deeply involved in the world, and their choices and decisions are often too hasty. In the case that human resources are in the buyer's market or their own conditions are good, the choice of enterprises often holds such a mentality? It's easy to find a job anyway. Go inside. It is not good to change another one. Why not have another experience? . When human resources are in the seller's market or their own conditions are not very good, it is more difficult to find a job, so they often have no choice when facing enterprises. As long as it is a job, they will be hired immediately without making any selection. The formation of this job-hunting attitude is mainly due to the lack of workplace concepts and experience, unclear positioning of one's life, or poor thinking and work habits. Generally speaking, frequent job-hopping will at least bring some influence and harm to yourself:
Waste time and money. People's time is limited, and we can't waste it at every age. If a young graduate has just entered the job market, he thinks there is still a long time to slow down. Fuck? And often change jobs, then he will soon find problems with his partner and marriage. A person who has no achievements or even a foundation and starting point is unlikely to find an ideal partner with better conditions. Similarly, his marriage should not be envied. And marriage is called? A lifelong event? As you can imagine, it is very important for both men and women, affecting their lives. As the saying goes? A good marriage can make a woman have a lifetime of support, and it can also make a man struggle for at least ten years? . Therefore, if a person starts to change jobs frequently as soon as he enters the workplace, then he should not have enough time to accumulate experience, establish his image and achievements in the enterprise, and he will not be recognized and promoted by the public, so he can't lay his own foundation in a short time. Perhaps it can be said that a person's initial career actually has a far-reaching impact on himself, and a person's initial attitude towards work will affect his life.
It is not conducive to the accumulation of work experience. Work experience needs to be accumulated for a long time, so when you change jobs frequently, especially when you choose a job casually, the accumulation of work and experience loses its continuity and relevance, and it is only a short start again and again. Even if you know more industries, you don't have the depth of every industry, so you can't really set foot in a certain industry. After a few years, I may suddenly wake up: I don't have a real industry of my own. Looking at the whole society and life, people who have made great achievements in society have their own industries, and almost all of them are authorities in the industry. If you don't have enough time to accumulate, you won't really have an industry of your own, let alone become an elite or even an authority in the industry.
Not convenient for personal career development. A person can be recognized and promoted in an enterprise, and several conditions must be met. First of all, his/her work ability is very strong, and his/her core competence can be universally recognized. The second is that individuals have made outstanding contributions in the company; The third is harmonious relationship in the workplace, and the fourth is job vacancy and demand. As far as the first three points are concerned, each item needs to be accumulated in an enterprise for a long time in order to establish its own credibility and performance. For a talented person, there must be a suitable platform and opportunity to show it. For a person with insufficient talent, there must be a period of time to exercise and learn to improve. Therefore, frequent job-hopping is not conducive to personal professional self-accumulation, promotion and development.
It is not conducive to career positioning. As the saying goes? One doesn't support people? In other words, a person will know more skills, and eventually he will not know which line to specialize in, and he will often be confused and lost in his choice. Besides, the so-called? Is there any specialization in the industry? A person knows a lot, and he will definitely not specialize. In an era when the division of labor in the workplace is so clear and meticulous, if a person changes jobs frequently, he will certainly not have his own professional core competitiveness. Therefore, after skipping a few enterprises, I will look back at myself and secretly be afraid that I am not good at anything and have not found an industry and development direction of my own.
Form a bad work attitude of habitual job-hopping. A person's frequent job-hopping can at least reflect some of his characteristics, such as inaccurate analysis and understanding, certain defects in personality, and mismatch between ability and selected position. In fact, enterprises, like people, each enterprise has its own advantages, otherwise it will have no competitiveness and viability. Everyone has their own shortcomings, otherwise there is no possibility of promotion and development. If a person is not clear, he will always make a mistake, either not recognizing the quality of the enterprise or not analyzing whether his career and personality match well; If a person has no patience or is poor in music group, it is difficult to integrate into an environment, but will be rejected by the new environment; A person who has no ability but ambition, even if he can muddle through and join the job, it will be difficult to be smooth sailing and long-term in the end. Frequent job-hopping can not only reflect a person's work attitude and personal shortcomings in some aspects, but also encourage their bad habits, which is not very beneficial to their life development.
It is detrimental to your image and is not conducive to finding a job in the future. As a professional, I usually see in my resume that a young man who has not been involved in the world has gone out with the work experience of several companies. For example, a person with only three or four years of work experience has worked in three or four companies. Sometimes listen to young people say? This can reflect that I have a lot of factory work experience and rich workplace experience. Wait, this is actually a misunderstanding. Usually, this kind of people give me the impression that they are not practical enough, have poor endurance and endurance, are too picky, have some defects in their personality or do not cooperate well, have insufficient working ability, lack cognitive ability and systematic analysis ability, and have a habitual tendency to quit jobs.
Frequent job-hopping seems to always find a job, as if not worried about the job, just pick it. In fact, from another point of view, it means that you can't do well anywhere, or you can't do well, you are not at ease anywhere, you can't stay, you can't get recognition and promotion. Even if they resign voluntarily, it means that they can't be recognized and accepted by this environment, can't be recognized, and finally have to be defeated. Therefore, frequent job-hopping is a sign of failure and a shameful thing. It can't prove experience, but only reflect defects. In short, it is not the capital of victory at all, and it is basically not worth showing off or boasting. Therefore, a person's frequent job-hopping will damage his reputation and image, reduce his competitiveness in the workplace, and is not conducive to finding a job in the future.
It is easy to cultivate workplace burnout psychology, which is not conducive to cultivating a positive and sunny workplace mentality. After a person frequently changes jobs several times, he will often panic about his career orientation, exert great pressure on choosing a company and a job, and even have a sense of fear or job boredom. Once this kind of psychology is formed, it will be deeply buried in the heart and erupt from time to time in the workplace, affecting your work and development. Even after running around looking for a job for a period of time, I gradually lost the excitement when I first entered the workplace to find a job. On the contrary, the more I find my ideal job, the more I feel deeply worried. The more I am afraid that my colleagues will know about my past, the more cautious I am in my work, and even I will not let go of my hands and feet, so I can't give full play to my existing abilities. If you encounter one or two more mistakes, you will be more worried and confused, the pressure will multiply, and the sense of job boredom and depression will increase day by day. Therefore, frequent job-hopping will produce job burnout, which is not conducive to cultivating a correct and positive workplace mentality and is extremely unfavorable to personal development.
The reasons for choosing frequent job-hopping are helpless.
Let's talk about several major factors that affect wages. Education, length of service, industry, etc. Take IT code farmers as an example, it is divided into three levels, junior and intermediate engineers. The junior level is about 9000 yuan-100 million yuan. If it is the first year of code farmers in Magic Capital, it is this salary. If it is a second-tier city, it will hover around 8500 yuan. Intermediate engineer is around 15000 yuan, which means at least 5 years working experience in code farming. Senior engineers are paid according to the annual salary, which is generally 500,000+above the supervisor level, with dividends. In Hangzhou, management experience is limited, and it is not unusual for a monthly salary of 40,000 yuan.
However, it is not impossible to work in a company for a long time and get rich overnight with equity. There are several prerequisites:
First, the company gives you room to grow and opportunities to make mistakes, instead of saying that you can find another job and threaten to fire you because you don't do well. Or the leader half-jokingly accused you of saying: Are you having a bad time in XXXX? How did you do that?
Second, you gradually become the backbone of the company, instead of the leader leaving and suddenly another leader parachuted in. I thought I would get a promotion and a raise, but suddenly we became empty.
Third, your salary will keep a 5% annual salary increase or commission. Only in this way can your salary become a stable source of income, not a dead salary.
It is true that when people work on other people's sites, how can they not meet people and things who are kind and wronged? Endure to a certain stage, can't see hope, and take the initiative to find another place.
Maintaining a salary increase of at least 30% through frequent job hopping will not be defined as a failed job hopping experience.
Then repeat your experience in the previous company until you get tired of watching it again. So, you changed to another company. The ability is constantly improving and the salary is constantly increasing. Of course, in this process, you will get married, have children and increase other expenses.
In this cycle, unless you learn to manage money, buy assets and set up insurance in this process, your life will still be easily crushed.
Wages are paid by the hour. Your work is paid, but your vacation is not. This is the fundamental reason why you can't get rich!
The public generally lacks financial knowledge, and knows little about common sense and risks of financial risks, which is also the reason why 70% of retail investors in the stock market lose money and only 10% gains.
And financial management can make funds increase at a speed of 7*24 hours. While sleeping, your money is still making money.
What I want to say here is that you must try your best to get in touch with financial knowledge, identify risks and learn to manage money, even if you have no money now.
