From the perspective of supply and demand, if our hard conditions are not up to standard, then we should lower our expectations for work, so that we can definitely find a job, but in many cases, the requirements of our next job are often not too low, at least not lower than the salary of our last job.
On the one hand, the macro environment determines that it is difficult to find a job, on the other hand, it is unwilling to lower the salary requirements for the next job. When these two factors are superimposed, it is naturally difficult to find a job.
So what should we do?
Luo Zhenyu said something that I like very much. He put it this way: "Macro difficulties do not mean that individuals have no room to play."
I send this sentence to all my friends who are looking for a job.
In order to cope with the macro difficulties, individuals need to make adjustments in time, and people are also animals that will make adjustments according to the environment.
First, re-examine yourself and optimize your resume.
First of all, it should be emphasized that no matter when and where, enterprises are bound to have employment needs, but the only difference is that in a special period, if there are more job seekers than jobs, it is likely that 100 job seekers will compete for a job.
This can be seen from the number of public examinations over the years.
Based on this, we need to understand that this year's job competition will be greater than in previous years. Knowing this, we can first optimize our resumes according to the degree of competition.
How to optimize your resume? Here are two points for reference.
First, optimize the content of the resume itself; Second, optimize the way we submit resumes.
How do ordinary job seekers submit resumes? Using the law of large numbers, one counts, and this aimless resume submission is actually useless.
When HR looks at the resume, it looks at whether the information on the resume meets the company's requirements for the position. Once job seekers fall into the same resume template, they will not get an interview, let alone an offer.
How to submit the correct resume? My principle is accuracy. Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to take the time to choose a few good companies that you like, and work slowly and slowly.
One situation that cannot be ruled out is that HR was moved by our sincerity and invited us for an interview. Only an interview will give you a chance.
Secondly, according to our accurate delivery of resumes, we should change the contents of resumes appropriately and truly achieve "one-on-one".
For example, suppose we take a fancy to a company, and the salary and company system seem to be satisfactory, so how to deliver it accurately and optimize the resume content?
In short, use our resumes to cater to employers, not to let employers cater to ourselves.
This requires us to know the background of the other company, some information that can be found online, and what kind of employees the company likes, so as to optimize our resume.
Not only that, but also make us more comfortable in the interview process and let HR know that you are not a casual job seeker.
Believe me, no company wants to hire someone who is so casual in finding a job.
Loyalty takes time to cultivate; Similarly, it often takes time to prepare a company we like.
Does this company prefer creative talents or people who follow the rules? Does this company prefer employees with Internet thinking or traditional employees?
This information can be optimized from our resume.
Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack when we submit our resumes, it is better to find several good companies accurately and then break through them one by one. This is very critical. Confidence, perseverance and patience are all necessary things to find a good company to join.
Second, appropriately lower your own standards for salary and other requirements.
This article corresponds to the adjustment made by the uncertainty and difficulty of current macro factors. It's like the 1997 stock market crash. During the financial turmoil in 2008, you were still looking for a job with your previous standards, so it was definitely difficult to find a good job.
There are more and more job seekers, and your requirements are still so high. Why should the employer hire you?
Appropriately lowering our salary requirements and relaxing our bottom line can help us find a job. After all, life is a problem now, why insist on the current salary?
If you create higher income for the company, I believe your own salary will also rise, which is the inevitable result.
The more we are in a special period, the more we should have this awareness and get through the thinking mode we are talking about now.
Generally speaking, when you change the above two points, your resume will not sink into the sea, at least you will get some interview opportunities and even several offer waiting for you to choose.
But if you still don't get the interview, then we have to think about another question: are you still suitable for this job?
What should you do if you have been eliminated by the industry?
Although this problem is very painful, I can guarantee that everyone will encounter similar problems in their career.
One of the most obvious examples is what we call the 35-year crisis today.
If you work in the internet industry, do sales, do front-end, do operations, do products, and lose your job without outstanding achievements, it is really difficult to find a similar job. This may not mean that you are incompetent, but that your age is not beyond HR's eyes.
So what should we do?
Thinking about changing careers? Or stand on your own feet? Or do you want to send takeout and go online to ask for a car?
I'm sure you must have thought about these questions, but you haven't settled down to think deeply.
Now, you can start thinking. What should I do if I can't find a match with my last job?
This is the worst result, and it is also a problem that we have to think about.
Just like the familiar flight attendants and flight attendants, it is difficult for us to see domestic flight attendants and flight attendants at the age of 40. This is the dilemma and characteristics of this industry at present.
Under such circumstances, my suggestion is: choose those jobs with higher wages, such as take-out and online car rental. As long as you are willing to do it, there is always a chance.
Secondly, if you have savings in your hand, you can also choose to start your own business, and maybe you can start a second spring of your career.
The most important point is that persistence is commendable, but there is another truth: people can't be hanged from a tree, and the living can still be suffocated by urine?
Rough language, rough reasoning.
It doesn't matter if you are poor in an instant. Everyone is plastic. What is really terrible is that we do not change and shape ourselves, but blindly seek stability and lose the opportunity for progress and creation. This is the most terrible thing.
