I worked in New Oriental for nearly a year, went through the resignation procedures and left New Oriental.

Even after leaving New Oriental, I still think she is a great training institution. For example, the teacher training in New Oriental is really great. After entering New Oriental, the department assigned me a tutor to help me change the courseware and put forward many suggestions for improvement in the class, which helped me to grow rapidly in all directions.

In addition, New Oriental will often hold teacher competitions and other activities, where lecturers from various departments get together to learn from each other, and the atmosphere is very good. In addition, the salary paid by New Oriental to teachers is relatively high, and it is very competitive in the same industry.

Then the question comes: Since New Oriental is so good, why should I choose to leave?

(1) The most direct trigger for leaving New Oriental is that you have physical problems. The intensive class frequency makes my throat unbearable, first chronic pharyngitis, then acute pharyngitis, and then lymphadenitis. Moreover, every time after class, I always feel exhausted and almost use my last strength to walk back to my position.

I know very well in my heart that my physical condition is only a superficial problem. The deeper problem is that I have lost interest in this job and feel very tired, so I am more prone to physical problems. I have always believed that our body has extraordinary inner wisdom, and it likes to remind its owner through illness that it is time to make some changes.

(2) The second reason for leaving New Oriental is that I can't learn more new things in my original position. New Oriental implements block teaching and classifies teaching items according to listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation. I was a reading teacher at that time, only responsible for the teaching of reading. Although this kind of block teaching greatly improves the efficiency of teachers' lesson preparation and can help a teacher grow into an expert in the subject he teaches in a short time, it is easy to lead to teachers' sense of job burnout.

Explain those reading topics repeatedly all day, and gradually lose the challenge in work, and it is difficult to learn new things at the same time. I have always felt that growth is more important than success at the beginning of my career. If you can't get rapid growth in a position, you will definitely rely on this position in the future. Next, people will become slaves to a sense of security and lose their qualifications and ability to pursue other better positions in the future.

(3) The third and most important reason for leaving New Oriental is that this job is not suitable for you.

My department is the New Oriental VIP Learning Center, which mainly conducts one-on-one and small class teaching. And I am one of those crazy teachers. The more people in the class, the better the class.

This may be related to my personality and growing experience. First, I am competitive and ambitious. Secondly, when my parents were not around when I was a child, I never got much attention, so when I grow up, I always long for more people's attention and enjoy being the focus.

While teaching in the VIP Learning Center of New Oriental, I can't satisfy my ambition of going to a large class. In addition, the content of the class also makes me not interested enough. In a word, I prefer to discuss life with students rather than explain why I choose A instead of B.

Reflecting on the whole experience of working in New Oriental, I understand a truth: when choosing a job, you should not only look at the external things that this job can bring you, but also ask yourself whether you can enjoy the pleasure brought by the job itself.

When choosing a job, if you only go for money, you will be happiest only on the day when you get paid every month. If you pursue status, you will be happy only when others praise you. When you do something, you can only be satisfied if you are interested.

After resigning from New Oriental, I decided to follow my heart and enter the university. Maybe it's because I like the relatively free atmosphere in college from the bottom of my heart, or maybe it's because I secretly feel that I left a lot of regrets when I was in college-too little reading and too many sleepless nights. In short, I have a strong psychological motivation to make this career choice.

As I just graduated with a master's degree, I couldn't be a teacher from the beginning, so I had to start as a counselor. When I first started working, I was very anxious. Anxiety students worry about their future when something happens. At this time, I began to try to change my mentality and destiny by reading more books and dabbling in different aspects of knowledge.

Then I came into contact with positive psychology. This science focuses on the advantages of human beings and is committed to helping people develop their potential and live a happy life. That's right. This is what I've been looking for! By practicing some related methods, my attitude gradually became positive. After summing up some experience, I began to share some methods to cultivate a positive attitude with my classmates around me.

Here, I want to thank one person in particular, Dan, a foreign teacher in our school. Once, he invited me to give two lectures on positive psychology to students. At the end of the last speech, he suggested that all the audience stand up and applaud my speech. And told me: "You are very suitable for this kind of inspirational speech. You should go to different universities to spread these positive thoughts. " When my advantage is affirmed, I feel a sense of accomplishment and existence. So, I continued to follow my heart and opened a happy class at school.

At the time of writing this article, I have taken five semesters of happiness courses. At present, this course has become one of the most popular elective courses in the school. Every semester, students regret not taking this course because there are too many students. Most importantly, I am very satisfied with my present working condition. After so many years of career exploration, I feel that I have finally stopped wandering, found my mission in life, and found a job that I am really interested in.

I have never regretted my resignation from New Oriental to my present university job. Not only have I never regretted it, but I also work like chicken blood every day and often giggle. The whole person's mental state feels much better than before.

More than one person has asked me why I want to work in my present school because the salary of New Oriental is so high. First of all, when I worked in New Oriental, my salary was not as high as I thought. A class fee of 1 1,000 yuan only belongs to the treatment of famous teachers in New Oriental.

Secondly, I always think that doing what I am interested in is a kind of welfare in itself. Besides, there is no contradiction between doing what you are interested in and making money. The greater your interest, the more energetic you are in doing things, and the easier it is to make achievements in your own fields and get corresponding income.

Since I started taking happy classes, I have received more and more training invitations in my spare time, and more and more people have come to me for psychological consultation. I think these are all positive changes brought about by working in the job I am interested in.

The experience of resigning from New Oriental to become a happy classroom lecturer has given me some experience on the topic of "how to find a job that interests me". Let's talk a little about this topic: how can we find a job that we are really interested in?

(1) Keep trying, don't stop.

I went to college in 2004 and attended a happy class at school in 13 years. During this nearly 10 years, I never gave up looking for a job that I was really interested in, and I believe I can finally find such a job. During this period, I did part-time sales, held training courses and had an entrepreneurial experience.

Besides, I have worked as a part-time educational administrator and teacher in many English training institutions. In these constant career attempts, I have a clearer understanding of my personality and professional world. When I started the happy class, my heart became very certain-it was a career worth pursuing all my life.

Finding a job that interests you is like a pony crossing a river. It's no use dreaming there by yourself, and other people's suggestions can only be used for reference forever. Whether this job is suitable for you won't be known until you try. Only by trying again and again can we get closer and closer to the ideal job.

When Steve Jobs gave a speech at Stanford University, he once said, "The only way to do great work is love? What do you do? If you haven't found it, keep looking. Don't reconcile. " Before you achieve something, you need to find a job that you really love. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't stop. )

(2) Find the positive significance of wrong choice.

To tell the truth, I always thought that becoming a teacher in New Oriental was my ultimate destination, so I would feel very happy. However, after joining New Oriental, I didn't feel the long-lost happiness. On the contrary, I feel a lot of pressure and my physical condition is declining. But I still found a lot of positive significance from this wrong career choice.

By working in New Oriental, I have a deeper understanding of my personality. I am sentimental and delicate. Compared with teaching students boring problem-solving skills all day, I am more suitable to teach students something that diverges and touches the depths of the soul. A happy class or psychological training can give full play to my personality advantages.

In addition, the experience of working in New Oriental makes me pay more attention to listening to my inner voice, paying more attention to the fun that the work itself can bring, rather than paying too much attention to external things such as income and reputation.

(3) Don't be stopped by sunk costs.

In fact, before I became a teacher in New Oriental, I had worked as an English trainer in two other training institutions for nearly two years. During those two years of training, I already felt that I was not suitable for teaching English. Because in the process of teaching English, my heart often conflicts badly. In other words, I don't agree with what I said in terms of values. To put it more bluntly, I always feel that teaching problem-solving skills is not very valuable. Although it may help students get high marks, it can't help students achieve spiritual growth.

Now that I have realized that I am not suitable for teaching English, why should I continue to apply for New Oriental? Maybe it's vanity, maybe it's blinded by the aura of New Oriental, but the most important reason is that I can't bear to spend many years on English learning and English teaching.

Psychologically speaking, these paid and irreversible investments are called "sunk costs". Everyone hates losing, and I am no exception. Because I feel that if I don't have English training, all the energy I have spent on English for so many years will be wasted, which is really a pity. So I always ignore my inner voice and don't follow my own interests.

It is not easy to change from an English teacher to a psychology teacher. When I decided to take psychology as my main direction, I didn't have any psychological qualifications, only a little foundation when I majored in psychology at university.

But in order to pursue what you are really interested in, you must show a little courage to burn your bridges and go all out. It took me two years to be admitted to the national second-class psychological counselor and the Shanghai school psychological counselor. Elective courses were opened in the school, and a subscription number was established. The articles I wrote are constantly forwarded by newspapers, magazines and WeChat subscription numbers, and everything is slowly developing in a good direction.

In order to pursue what I am really interested in, I gave up New Oriental and chose to be a happy classroom teacher. Although the process of transformation is not easy, I have experienced several years of pain. But I know a truth very well in my heart: if I had not chosen to transform at that time and still kept the position of English teacher that I didn't love very much, I might have suffered for a lifetime.
