Let's take a look at the characteristics of these two students. The publishing industry is definitely a professional counterpart, but this civil engineering girl is an intern in a small publishing company in her freshman year, an intern in a second-tier publishing house in the industry in her sophomore year, and she voted for us in her junior year. According to her resume, she read several of our books and agreed with their themes. Although this civil engineering girl's major is wrong, the information expressed in her resume can be understood as that she can work directly when she joins the job, and from the interview, she herself has made some summaries on the publishing industry. This major is a student in the publishing industry, and it is temporarily limited to the courses of this major. It has no practical experience and is still confused about what it actually does.
So how to find an internship during college? In fact, employers don't care whether you are a student or not. What everyone cares about is your work performance and ability. Take me for example! It's shameless to take yourself as an example. Ten thousand words are omitted here. ) I take care of my children at home and have time to deal with work emails and write articles in the evening, but the leaders don't mind. It's the same for me to recruit interns, as long as I can guarantee four and a half hours' working time every week. There is even an intern who has a lot of freshman classes and can only work from 1 afternoon to 8 pm every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. He has received three full-time internship salaries.
If you want to find an internship, you must first evaluate your work ability. Generally, the basic working ability in the workplace is divided into four parts: communication ability, problem-solving ability, data production ability and decision-making ability.
The purpose of reading is to entertain, acquire knowledge and collect information. The latter two purposes are utilitarian reading. The premise of utilitarian reading is that your reading speed and reading efficiency are higher. Therefore, in addition to communication ability, logical thinking ability, data production ability, problem-solving ability and decision-making ability, there is also a reading ability to be placed at the forefront, or utilitarian reading ability. I won't write the list of books I have read before.
Today, we mainly share the workplace book list from four aspects: communication ability, problem solving ability, data production ability and decision-making ability. There are many contents and long articles. Take your time.

Seven principles to understand the future: how to see the invisible and make it impossible.
With the acceleration of technological change, even at a speed that we can hardly understand, foresight is essential. Periodic changes tell us a lot of different uncertainties. Humans have discovered 300 remarkable cycles, which can accurately predict the future to some extent. Shakespeare said: There are always ebbs and flows in the world. If you catch it in time, you will succeed in the end. ?

It tells you how to change the impossible by seeing the possibility.
Basic abilities in the workplace are like buckets. How much water this bucket can hold is not determined by its longest board, but by its shortest board. If you want to improve your basic ability in the workplace, I suggest reading. Although reading, meeting people, experiencing events and traveling can make us grow, reading is the lowest cost and the highest efficiency. Someone will give you a summary and clarify. You just need to study hard and apply what you have learned to practical actions. Of course, some people will say, "I read a lot, but I can't live a good life." Well, I think the premise of reading to improve yourself is that you can read the knowledge in the book, integrate it into your own knowledge system and apply it to your own life. This is more complicated. I wrote it in my last article, so I won't expand it.
Problem-solving ability is your core competitiveness, and the other three abilities in the workplace, communication ability, data production ability and decision-making ability, promote each other and improve the comprehensive ability in the workplace, thus improving the problem-solving ability. Wisdom, like water, flows downwards. When you have your own in-depth research and practice in a field, you must first think carefully about other people's opinions and don't blindly deny them. What determines your value in the workplace is your comprehensive ability and professional ability in the workplace. These two abilities make you a scarce talent in the workplace. Things are rare and people are rare. You take the initiative to improve yourself, take the initiative to choose, and passively accept the results. These are two completely different attitudes and states of life.
