1, people in their forties and fifties, with nearly 20 years of work experience, are still looking for jobs everywhere, which is quite difficult. The advantages of this age are very great: rich social experience and accumulated resources. In fact, from my heart, forty or fifty years old is the right-hand man and backbone minister of the company. But many company leaders don't think so. They want to hire people under the age of 40, and now the post-80 s and post-90 s are really doing well.
Forty or fifty years old, so many years should not have accumulated. The most reliable way is to recommend each other by colleagues and acquaintances before to avoid hitting the wall everywhere. Acquaintances know each other better and work together easily.
2. Many people in their forties and fifties have no professional working ability, which is very embarrassing at this time. People in their 40 s and 50 s belong to the post-70 s if they are divided into years. If all the competent people are middle and high-level now, you don't have to find a job yourself. In fact, many people who look for jobs everywhere are people with low academic qualifications because of the background of the post-70 s era. Actually, it's really not easy.
If you really don't have professional skills, it's really the only way to find a job everywhere, because you have a chance of success. In this case, most people will still go to those jobs with manual labor, work hard, and have a small responsibility to the old and the young.
If you have a stable job, don't just quit, it will cost a lot of money.
If you start a business at this age, you have a great chance of success. Starting a business at the age of forty or fifty is different for different people. Some people will regard it as a career, while others will regard it as a small business to support their families. I think the latter is the majority, because not many people have succeeded vigorously. It is ok to do small business. At this age, I have some money, a strong sense of risk, and can stop losses in time.
If you have this idea, you might as well see if there are any familiar small businesses around you. Even if you simply introduce others to work on the construction site, being a labor agency is also an entrepreneurial idea.
The above are some of my views, hoping to get some insights.
People in their 40 s and 50 s have already entered the middle stage of their career and have passed the stage of daring to fight, dare to rush and dare to fight. People in their forties and fifties are often under pressure that people in other age groups can't bear. Some of them are old and young, and some even say that they dare not get sick, because no one takes care of them, and they can't retreat, because there are cliffs behind them. It is really appropriate to describe some people in their 40 s and 50 s, because they often face ubiquitous workplace crises, and some people will face discrimination from some companies.
People in their 40 s and 50 s, if you are still at the grassroots level, then your career can be said to have reached the ceiling, and it is difficult to make a big improvement if you move forward. In the process of interview, such people are sometimes made difficult by the company, deliberately reducing their salary and squeezing your surplus value. You want to bargain, but the other party often won't give you too many opportunities to defend.
If it is management, the risk of job-hopping and resignation is also great. Going to a company needs to re-adapt to the company environment, and many previous personal relationships have already left with you.
People in their forties and fifties need a stable workplace environment to provide strong protection for their families. People in their forties and fifties are really hard. When it comes to providing for the aged, they have not yet reached the stage of providing for the aged, but they have been working hard in the workplace for many years, often feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and sometimes wondering why life is so difficult.
The younger generation, people in their forties and fifties, sometimes feel a deep workplace crisis. Nowadays, with the rapid development of modern society, the speed of replacing old and new knowledge is getting faster and faster, which also poses greater challenges to people of this age group. This challenge is not only a mental challenge, but also a physical challenge.
I am the woman who has to apply everywhere at the age of 46 and has been a housewife at home for 20 years. I have no experience, no skills, no education, no experience and no connections.
My husband is old-fashioned, bossy and male chauvinistic. He advocates a life in which men dominate the outside and women dominate the inside. After marriage, I became a senior housewife, taking care of my husband and children. My daily job is to clean the house, take care of a pair of children and my husband, and sometimes I feel like a nanny.
With the depression of all walks of life, my husband's business has also encountered a crisis. He is a man who drinks today and gets drunk tomorrow. His only hobby is playing cards, and he lost a lot of money in poker, so he didn't have much savings.
With the trend of rural people marching into cities, we are no exception. Our family moved to the city. Cities are no better than rural areas, spending money every day. Our two children have grown up. My daughter is in college, and my son studies art and spends money like water.
My husband really can't afford it, and he no longer insists that he is a man and a woman. He agreed to let me go outside to find a job to supplement my family, but what can I do? I went to several places to apply. The job I want to do is too old for me. The point is that I have to take care of my family and cook for my children. I want to do some business myself, and I have no money. I'm really worried. My husband also regrets that he shouldn't have squandered all the money I earned.
Everyone still needs to study more. Jews in the world, from Ningbo, China, have enough food and umbrellas.
People aged 40-50 are the backbone of the family. It is normal to find a job if you are unemployed or want to change jobs. Tell me about myself.
4 1 year-old participated in the class reunion for 20 years, and felt the knowledge gap between himself and his classmates through talking and laughing. I've been stuck in the company for too long. In the past 20 years, the company has gone from glory to recession, laying off employees every year, and almost no salary increase in the past decade. What is the use of comfort and stability? At this time, I just paid off my mortgage and wanted to change my environment, so I decided to resign.
The job search went well. One packaging company is engaged in machinery and the other is engaged in sales. I have been engaged in mechanical technology in state-owned enterprises for 20 years, and I am tired of the boring work of mechanical technology. I resolutely chose the sales job and challenged myself. Many people say I am stupid when I change careers at such an age.
Today, I have worked in sales for 7 years, during which I saw a batch of salespeople leaving their jobs to recruit, recruiting and leaving. It can be seen how difficult and stressful it is to do sales. These seven years are worthwhile. Although I didn't earn much money, I have traveled all over most cities in China and gained knowledge through suffering, which money can't measure.
In a word, I think people aged 40-50 are honest and mature, have work experience, can bear hardships and understand life. As long as they combine their actual situation, they will certainly find a job. Not everyone can do business. Money is not so easy to earn. Be careful. According to your own specialty and family situation, you will definitely find a way out, whether it is working or doing small business or something else.
You are the pillar of the family. If you don't make money, who will?
Nonsense, in first-and second-tier cities, who can guarantee that you can retire smoothly when you work in a company until you are 60 years old? No matter your own reasons or the company's reasons, no matter whether your position can be at the middle level or at the grassroots level, you will not be allowed to work all the time. If this company doesn't want you, then you won't work? Can you start a business without financial resources at home and build a car behind closed doors? What is the success rate of starting a business, and how many can survive? Don't mislead. How high is the cost of living in first-and second-tier cities? Can you survive without going out to work and having no source of income? What is the success rate of internal recommendation in the company now? How coincidence can time and opportunity be? Can I wait for my friend's recommendation at home? Again, how long can you wait at home, and can you wait for your friends to give you a year or two of introversion? How long can someone else's company accept an introvert who is unemployed at home? At the age of 50, how to solve the problem of being old and young, family pressure, mortgage pressure, no financial source and not working at home?
I don't think it's necessary. Because people in their 40 s and 50 s in the workplace, if they are women, are about to retire, and most of them have become grandmothers. They have no passion for work and take care of their grandchildren as the core; If it is a man, it is mature and rigid at work. More than 20 years of workplace experience, either the backbone of business ability or the middle-level or above leaders. In reality, such high-end talents are mainly recommended by insiders to companies that are eager for talents, rather than applying everywhere.
In Internet companies, the average age of employees is generally between 30 and 35, which means there must be people in their forties and fifties. Older Internet companies are generally senior executives above the vice president, or even shareholders. Such people are often founders, and they are excavated through their own talent pool in the circle. They are either like-minded and have the desire to start a business, or they have certain financial strength. In short, even the recruitment is done through headhunting companies, unlike employees.
General production enterprises, the recruitment of front-line workers mainly consider energy and overtime. Leadership positions above the middle level are usually relatively stable. If you recruit experienced high-end talents, the boss knows that the salary is at least 15k, which is not much to spend.
General trading enterprises, due to suppliers and channel providers supporting business, are usually controlled by bosses and recruit energetic young people. If it is an old-fashioned sales application with customer channels, the boss wants it, but because he doesn't know how much performance it can bring, he is unwilling to pay a big price. However, the old salesmen in their forties and fifties are not interested because they have customer resources and don't have a basic salary above 15k.
Sometimes the two sides can talk about resonance, and the boss can give the temptation of high commission. Old sales people will agree to accept the trial when they don't find a suitable company, but often because there is no performance, the boss thinks you are water; If your performance is good, you feel that your income is asymmetric and go your separate ways. So it's really embarrassing for people in their forties and fifties to find a job.
Tao Ge, 48, once worked as a financial officer in a branch of Huayang Group. After returning to my hometown, with "working in a listed company" as the highlight, I was quickly recommended by my friends to be the chief financial officer of a private enterprise with a monthly salary of 18k.
The boss of this company is a university teacher, and doing business completely follows the market rules. When preparing a project financing book, Director Ge was asked to provide the company's financial status, profit analysis and risk avoidance, but Director Ge repeatedly delayed on the grounds that the original accounts were not properly sorted out.
The boss thought that you were offered 18k salary in a fourth-tier city, and Director Ge accepted it. However, when you handed in the results according to the time node, you delayed it with various excuses, which is a typical feature that can't effectively solve the problem. So let him go.
It is common for people in their forties and fifties to work on the construction site; But as a talent with more than 20 years' experience, he will be cautious when applying for a job and when recruiting companies. The reason is that the salary is high, and whether it can create value that matches the salary. Haitou resume, the employer will think, since it is so excellent, why not be poached? Therefore, when people in their 40 s and 50 s are looking for a job, they should be mainly recommended by insiders, but both application and recommendation are the fundamental ways to create the same value.
See this topic, gray actually very sigh with emotion:
At this stage, friends in their 40 s and 50 s are all from the post-60 s and post-70 s generation. People who grew up at that stage are basically confined to a very small range, studying in universities and having academic qualifications. Most people, after their forties and fifties, have to look for jobs again because of various objective factors. The process is very sad!
After all, compared with young people, physical strength, education and energy are not dominant, knowledge is aging and learning ability is declining. Most of the positions they can apply for are "three low" positions with low job level, low skill requirements and low salary.
Even so, it's good to find a job to make a living. The most terrible thing is that you can't even find such a "three low" job! But what can be done? Life goes on, and we have to work hard to live!
It is really painful for people in their forties and fifties to lose their jobs in the workplace. They are under too much pressure. The family depends on you, old and young. Physically, health is not as good as before, and various chronic diseases have begun to appear gradually; In terms of ability, all kinds of new knowledge and skills emerge one after another. They want to learn, but they can't keep up.
They also want to go to work safely and find an easy job to make a living. Unfortunately, all this is beyond their control.
Friends in their forties and fifties are very hard, and friends who are unemployed in their forties and fifties are even harder! Everyone will get old, and everyone will go through the stage of forty or fifty years old. Let's all be more empathetic, tolerate them, give them a chance, let them get a job to survive, and let them feel the temperature of the world instead of cold rejection. What did you say?/Sorry? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area!
I am the director of human resources, 18 years experience. Please pay attention to me and answer your confusion in the workplace.
1, with many years of work experience, it is recommended that you should not apply everywhere in your 40 s and 50 s, and focus on stability. Even if you need to change jobs, you should recommend it through headhunters or colleagues and friends. Because all the jobs in headhunting service are high-end positions or management positions, attending the talent market everywhere or submitting resumes online will only lower your status or make you unable to find a suitable job.
People in their forties and fifties are rich in work experience and easy to become managers of the company. Once you leave your old company, your relationships and work need to start again. Job hopping is not recommended unless the management position is promoted, the salary is greatly improved, and the experience advantage is reused. When you need to change jobs, you must find out the situation of the next company and fully understand it.
People in their forties and fifties have to face the pressure of family affairs and economy, and changing jobs will increase these risks. With rich experience and ability, the company will try its best to explore your past; The ability is average, and job-hopping may get worse and worse.
There are several channels for most people to find jobs, such as talent network, offline talent market, offline labor market, established informal labor market, acquaintance introduction and headhunting company. Therefore, if you are 40 or 50 years old, you must apply through these channels as long as you need to continue working and make a living.
Let's go back and analyze the problem of the topic. I guess, behind the subject's question is actually to ask:
1) People in their forties and fifties should have a car, a house and enough savings. There is no need to look for a job everywhere. He should sit at home and grow vegetables, flowers and travel everywhere. or
2) It is a shame for a person to find a job everywhere when he is forty or fifty years old; At this age, you should be an executive of a company and sit back and relax. Even if your job changes, you are a headhunter and you don't have to apply everywhere.
However, people always have to face the reality.
What age group is one, four or fifty?
1) career: at the age of forty or fifty, a person should really achieve something in his career. However, it is also a time of decline, and people who walk at the top may stabilize. Those who can't get up and down, either can't be reused, their status is declining, or they are dismissed and need to find another job. What's more, they are laid off and unemployed; People in their forties and fifties, especially those in their fifties, are gradually quitting the workplace.
2) Salary: Most people are four or five years old, with an annual salary of1.50,000-300,000. Some are even higher than this, some may be higher, but not in most.
3) Family expenses: For people in their 40 s and 50 s, when their children need a lot of money to go to school, it will naturally be easier in public schools, but in private schools, the annual tuition fee ranges from 7,000 to 8,000 to 30,000. People in their 40 s and 50 s, parents with spouses in their 60 s and 70 s, parents in their 60 s and 70 s, and four old people to take care of and support; At this age, the expenses in the circle of friends are also increasing. Please buy a meal 1000 to more than 5000, not counting drinks. Sometimes it's a bit extravagant to support your face, from clothes to other personal items. The so-called "annual salary" is stretched; The problem is that there is still a mortgage outstanding!
Second, this age group is the time to work.
Looking at the explanation in the last article, we can draw a conclusion: forty or fifty years old is the time when money is most needed, and it is also the time when life is most stressful. People who start planning their careers in a planned way at a young age may have reached a higher position in their forties and fifties, but this is only a minority; Others, when they are young, don't have too many ideals, ambitions and career plans. In their forties and fifties, they have neither economic capital nor social capital, and even less cultural capital and symbolic capital. They have basically got nothing, but they are still struggling. Such people are in the majority. They are dissatisfied with their present situation and company, but their "impulsive heart" is still beating, because they are "unyielding", so they are still "jumping around" to find their place like when they were young. So it is normal that they are still looking for jobs everywhere. Because we have to survive, support our children's studies, support our parents' expenses, and entertain some "scenes" that we should have at this age.
People in their thirties, forties and fifties don't have to look for jobs everywhere.
As I said just now, some people have already thought about what kind of life they want to live when they are 40 or 50 years old when they are young. They made up their minds early and made their own career plans early. They gradually accumulated their own economic capital, social capital, cultural capital and even symbolic capital. Even if they lose their jobs, headhunters will call immediately to find job opportunities for them. However, headhunters are highly targeted: they hunt people who are valuable and can bring them performance returns. A person with little strength, headhunters are disdainful, or a person whose strength and age do not match, they will not "hunt".
Therefore, when people reach their forties and fifties, some people have accumulated four capitals, which in turn serve them and have more and more prospects; Some people, however, have mediocre careers and have made no achievements. When they are unemployed, they can only look for jobs everywhere for the sake of their families and their own survival. If they are better, they can entrust friends, but this age does mean "procrastination". I wonder if my friends will lose face.
However, in any case, life always goes on. To tell the truth, it's not too late to be forty or fifty years old, and there is still a chance to make a comeback. You can also take Chu as an example. Don't tell me, "How many Chu Shijian are there in the world?" Is there any other way out? The present situation of people in their forties and fifties is decided at a young age. However, there is still a chance, depending on whether you are willing to take risks.
For people in their forties and fifties, it is more appropriate to find a job with more money and less work near home. They drink tea and read newspapers at work, and then work until they retire. Unfortunately, this can only be pornographic for most people. The reality is that no company may want to find a job when they are in their forties. What should we do? Should I continue to submit my resume or just give up the competition?
Of course, I can't give up. Forty or fifty years old, life is just over half. The road is long, and there are many places to spend. Of course, it is not appropriate to stay at home and eat nothing. So, I still have to work and my life will go on.
Then how to find a job suitable for people in their forties and fifties? There are still opportunities to work hard in the following directions.
First, if your professional skills are awesome enough, you still have a chance to continue to enjoy spicy food.
Some time ago, I mentioned that there was an engineer in his forties in the department who only took a half-day off and had tea with the boss of the recruitment company for a while. After talking and laughing, he got a good offer and his salary increased by about 50%. You can do it as long as you are skilled. For technicians, there will be no obvious difficulty in changing jobs under 45, but there is still room for improvement when they are 45 to 50 years old. There are fewer job opportunities suitable for you, but as long as you learn to adjust your direction and have more than 20 years of work experience, it is no problem to find an ordinary technical job, because although you are old, you can't compete with young guys for overtime, but you have deep technical skills and years of work experience, at least you can even it out.
Second, if you are engaged in management, you can also go on in the following aspects according to your own ability level.
1, through the introduction of friends, high-end headhunters or relying on word of mouth in the industry to get a good job. Some excellent people, not to mention those in their forties and fifties, were rehired as consultants by the company after retirement. These people still have the opportunity to continue to hold senior management positions. Needless to say, it's too far. Take one of my former employers as an example. Is a manufacturing listed company, in which seven presidents are between 40 and 60 years old, and more than a dozen directors are between 40 and 55 years old. What does it matter as long as you have real talent and learning? Then how did these people find such jobs? They mainly rely on the word-of-mouth in the industry, and obtain this high salary and high position through senior headhunters, friends' recommendation and bosses' personal poaching. Instead of squeezing resumes in the talent market.
2. Reduce salary and job requirements appropriately. If the non-technical personnel with average ability may be even worse, it is estimated that they can only lower their requirements and settle for the second best. If they are in their forties and have more than 20 years of work experience, it is not difficult to get the salary of a young man with only a few years of work experience. Although working overtime at this age is not as good as that of young people, you can still get it back with rich experience. If this situation is acceptable, it is still possible to find a decent job.
Entrepreneurship may be the ultimate way out. Some people are unwilling to be controlled by others because of their age, and are forced to embark on the thorny road of starting a business. Many people have also been hit hard, but those who persist may make a lot of money by taking a big order. Generally speaking, entrepreneurship is the ultimate way out. Although the initial stage of starting a business is difficult and the survival rate of starting a business is not high, starting a business belongs to them completely. If you do well, you can earn n times as much as working. I can't blame others because I'm not competent enough. Explore a few more times and you will always find a way to make money. On that day, you won't have to worry about a midlife crisis.
Finally, if people in their 40 s and 50 s are not outstanding, they are likely to apply everywhere and may even be rejected. But if you have a good reputation in the industry and have skills or specialties that others can't replace, you don't need to apply everywhere, and the job will naturally come to you. Headhunters will recommend you, friends will match you up, and even the boss of the recruiting unit will take the initiative to find you. There is no need to go through five hurdles and cut six generals.
