It is a fact that it is difficult to live in poverty. I just want to sit down and have a cup of coffee like most girlfriends.
1. How to pass all kinds of diploma and title exams without the guidance of teachers?
When I was a student, I barely got my diploma from a key technical secondary school, but am I lucky or unlucky? When I graduated, it was just in time for the state to cancel the distribution. Then the university expanded its enrollment and the era of undergraduates everywhere came. There's nothing I can do. Diploma is not as good as people. Hurry up and make up. How did I get my college and undergraduate diplomas? A: It all depends on self-study, and it is purely to review two months in advance after work, and then take the exam. This can save a lot of training fees, just pay the registration fee, the officially designated compulsory teaching materials, and at most a set of real questions over the years.
Special thanks to the rigidity of exam-oriented education in China. The most striking feature of adult re-education examination is that it does not deviate from the examination outline. Teachers will only give questions in the examination syllabus, which is nothing more than "must test, understand and master" Anyway, you have to recite "required exams" and you have to recite "proficiency". If you understand it, you will have the spare capacity to watch it again.
Therefore, every time I take an exam, I mainly analyze the test papers over the years, regard myself as an invigilator, and analyze which chapters and knowledge points are needed for the exam, and which topics will always appear in another package. After finishing up, I began to do the key knowledge points desperately. It starts about 2 months before the exam and can be done in 2 hours every night. Of course, I won't get high marks. I have always scored more than 60 points, but I can get a certificate after passing, right? It took me a year and a half to get a college diploma, but it took me six years to get an undergraduate diploma, and I fell in love and got married in the middle, which basically didn't delay my whole life rhythm. Although the top five students are still despised in state-owned enterprises, it is enough to enter foreign companies and private enterprises.
I've never bullied anyone. I've taken two or three make-up exams in one course, and I won't pass until I pass the exam. Generally speaking, I will not spend more than 200 yuan on each exam. I took more than 20 courses in the self-study exam, plus the travel expenses for defending my thesis at school. I will solve my diploma obstacle within 65,438+00,000 yuan, or pay by installment.
2. How did I learn how to do office work, advertising copywriting, game planning, new media operation and online shop operation?
Frankly speaking, in secondary school, I know nothing about professional skills. When I graduated, I was a typical blank sheet of paper. Fortunately, I didn't study at school, but I played more clubs. I have been working as a reporter and editor on campus, and my writing skills have never been lost. So when I graduate, I can be a clerk in the unit. But here's the problem. My sister studied DOS and WPS at school. Window98 was popular at that time. On the first day of work, the company bought a new computer in the morning and asked me to type red tape in the afternoon. I have never used OFFICE. What shall we do? At noon, I went to the bookstore and bought a copy of OFFICE from Introduction to Mastery (the title and version of OFFICE are too old to remember, probably this kind of reference book). In the afternoon, I tried to look up the book and barely typed it out.
At that time, the internet was not developed. Last QQ meeting, I will mix a Netease post, which is already very awesome. There is no computer at home, and I often go to Internet cafes to practice various skills of typing and surfing the Internet in the office after work. Internet access is not particularly expensive, and it is barely affordable to go once a week. (The first salary is only 200 yuan a month, and I have to live and eat at home. )
The second one is for personnel use. I found it at home through relationships. My colleagues are very nice. I learned some statistics and personnel knowledge here. A year later, the company was restructured, and I mainly asked to be laid off.
The third job is responsible for the procurement of overseas goods, and began to use Alibaba's query and search capabilities. The computer and network skills accumulated before come in handy. Looking for a job this time depends on posting on the talent network, and the family can't help.
The fourth is to go in and do secretarial work. The typing speed I practiced in the Internet cafe helped me stall the examiner during the interview. I stayed for seven months and studied conference marketing and copywriting of management consulting. I learned PPT from the planning girl and a little PS and typesetting from the artist.
The fifth company is a game planner of a Japanese company. They found me on the talent network and took a fancy to my copywriting ability in three companies. So far, I am also puzzling. I am a person who never plays games. They took a fancy to me. During the interview, I talked with them for half an hour about business management (brand, marketing, 4P, etc.). After ten years in this company, I have learned a lot. The website planning made by the Japanese is so meticulous that you are scared to death. There are also various flowcharts, project management, system development, JAVA, SMS, WAP, human-computer interaction, UI…… ........................................................................................................................
At this time, I spent money on my first desktop to earn some extra money for overtime and part-time writing.
The sixth product manager hired as an Internet social networking site actually has to do everything, including operation, testing, external customer service and investment promotion. Finally, the company added Taobao, and even the packaging was learned, and the art shop learned everything. BOSS taught me the most valuable self-study experience in my life, and I will share it with you in detail in the future.
At this time, I bought my first notebook (I bought it on 20 13, which is enough for my life). Generally speaking, I haven't attended any professional skills training courses, because my salary has actually risen quite slowly. Although I have doubled my job-hopping every time, I am still poor after staying in the company for so long. I don't have much money to ask someone to teach me skills. I have plenty of time.
I am an introverted person, so I usually rely on myself to secretly see how others do things and ask familiar colleagues questions privately. Every job is the best teacher, and all my colleagues will teach you a lot, so along the way, I am grateful to all the companies that have hired me and my colleagues who have taught me. Someone asked me, what if others refuse to teach you? In fact, it is normal not to teach you. The company asks you to do things, not to learn things for free. Think with your own eyes and mind, and what you learn is your own. When the internet was not developed, my self-study basically depended on going to the bookstore to browse books for free. For this reason, I cultivated a fast reading speed, just to finish reading an important reference book in the bookstore in one hour. With the Internet, self-study has become more labor-saving. BD search, microdisk, library and online e-books can solve most of my knowledge accumulation.
In addition, it is very important not to be afraid to try, especially all kinds of computer skills, which must be practiced and used for a long time. Be curious about all kinds of new platforms of the Internet and any new technologies that appear in the future, and try and use them at the first time. What if I can't afford an apple? The most economical way is to go to the store to experience the feeling of using a real machine, or borrow a friend's machine to try it out. There are also free test simulators on the Internet. If you learn Apple's programming language and enter any game company, there are plenty of real machines for you to test and develop. It's really to send an Apple mobile phone when you meet a local company. ) I never want to know about burning money the first time I buy this product, but I can still keep up with my friends' related topics-just pay attention to all the news and Weibo information related to this product.
3. How did I learn psychological counseling, illustration, baking, Japanese, English and other skills?
After the accumulation of free skills in the first ten years, my salary began to go up a little, but it was only below the middle level, not even the middle level. Don't ask me why I entered the product manager level or this bear. Because in the first ten years, my sister's internal lack of money has not been cured, and the result is that she is busy as a dog or a moonlight family.
At this time, I came into contact with psychology, and the biggest improvement it gave me was that I dared to spend money. Don't underestimate this skill. If you want to change from poor to rich, learning to give and share is a very important change. At this time, I still don't want to spend money on clothes or something for luxury life enjoyment. I just started to spend money to develop skills that make me more professional. The first one is language, which cost about two or three thousand yuan, but I found that I didn't have much interest in language learning, so I didn't make progress after studying for a long time. The second is illustration, which was a skill I was very interested in when I was a child, but I was never allowed to learn it myself. I missed about 20 classes here, about 1000, and stopped at an introductory concept, because I understand that I can only improve myself through my unremitting practice and more optimistic works. Third, psychological counseling, paid 3000 yuan to go to a training class. This is the most valuable investment in my life, because it has changed me a lot since then, including improving my shortcomings, shame and retreat. Of course, the price still burns money. This is the only professional investment in my life. The last one is baking, which is my first pure interest skill that is not aimed at making money, but also enjoys it with money.
Of course, I am still very frugal. I don't take more than 3000 classes. If you can buy e-books, don't buy paper books. I never buy books if I can use the APP tutorial. However, at present my income really makes me quite satisfied. I can finally buy coffee at any time. Although I still can't afford a car, I'm still a poor consultant with low income in the city. It's just that I can definitely see my life direction in 20 years from 10. I even think that in five years, all my past investments will begin to pay off.
There will always be a lot of people asking questions, saying what if they can't get into college? What should I do if my family is poor? What if the major is wrong? I don't know anything at work. What should I do if I am excluded? After practicing for nearly 20 years, you will feel nothing. You can learn anything you want. When others can't help you, you can rely on yourself. As long as you want to learn, there will be ways to help you solve practical problems. This world, this era, has been very free and generous to individuals who want to go up. Compared with 20 years ago, we have too many opportunities and ways to realize our dreams. And all the education expenses are getting cheaper and cheaper. You can buy the same professional admission ticket as others at the lowest price and the least cost.
