What should I do without work experience?

Hong Zhen: The employment of fresh graduates will reach its peak; After the Spring Festival, job-hopping will be more prominent. Through this conversation, I hope I can give you some inspiration in finding a job.

Yun Feng: 6 1 job hunting failed, which may be behind the confusion that everyone generally faces.

Xiong Wei: As long as these problems are solved, it is easy to find a satisfactory job.

Yun Feng: For fresh graduates, "no work experience" is the biggest obstacle.

Hongzhen: At the job fair, fresh graduates need work experience, so they turn around and leave without looking at the recruitment brochure.

Yun Feng: I've been looking for friends who are engaged in marketing, management and secretarial work, and seeking indirect experience from them. Actually, it's just to cross the barrier of "experience".

Xiong Wei: "Work experience" is not terrible. The key is to understand what this experience means. What employers value is not the experience itself, but the working ability accumulated by experience. Therefore, fresh graduates can show their potential through part-time job or internship experience in school, and pass on the information that you already have or will have that ability to each other.

People who change jobs after one year will hardly have successful work experience, at least not effective work experience. In the first year of work, the first three months are the study and trial stage, the last three months are to adapt to the enterprise, and the last six months are to understand the whole industry. Just turned into a business person a year later. Therefore, it is generally only after two years of work that you can barely count as having work experience.

What am I suitable for?

Yun Feng: This is my first time to apply for a job, and I'm confused. Sending resumes everywhere, I don't know what job to look for.

Xiong Wei: This is a manifestation of inaccurate career positioning. It is very important to realize what you want to do and what you can do when you first enter the workplace.

Hong Zhen: So, how do you position yourself?

Xiong Wei: First of all, we must be clear about our advantages. Workplace competition wins by advantage. Then choose a career according to your personal interests. Some people only see the aura of a professional name, but they don't know its essential characteristics, which may be improperly positioned. In fact, when you choose a career, you choose a lifestyle: salespeople have to run around every day and face rejection all the time. An introverted and impatient person can't do it well. It must be very painful for people who like innovation and adventure to become accountants.

Yun Feng: I see! With interest, you like to do it; Have an advantage, indicating that you can do it; Coupled with the lifestyle of that profession, you can do that job well.

Can I compete with others?

Hong Zhen: At the job fair, some junior college students were scared to see that many undergraduates and graduate students were also submitting resumes.

Xiong Wei: Some undergraduates take the postgraduate entrance examination directly after graduation, while others are largely afraid and avoid competition. In fact, competition is not terrible. As long as you dare to compete and are willing to compete, you can win. Competition depends on advantages, and advantages are relative. Just like a doctoral student may be an expert in one field, but he may not be as good as a junior college student in another field. It can be said that everyone is a miracle.

Yun Feng: How can the competition win more surely?

Xiong Wei: The closer the personal advantage is to the ability required for the position, the easier it is to succeed. In addition, competition is everywhere, and candidates should take the initiative to show their competitive advantages from job application materials, interviews, personal image and so on.

What if the major is wrong?

Hong Zhen: Many people find it difficult to find a job. In fact, they want to find a good job.

Yun Feng: I can't find the right job. What should I do? Change careers, I feel that my major has been abandoned for four years. What a pity!

Xiong Wei: We don't need to limit our employment direction by major, otherwise the employment scope will be too narrow. Marketing, administration, secretarial work, etc. People from all majors can take the exam, except for professional posts with high technical content, which really need professional counterparts to do. For example, a gold medal maintenance engineer at HP studied sports; Siemens has a technical support worker who studies accounting; I have a classmate who is majoring in metallurgy. Because I like programming, I was hired as a programmer by a company when I graduated.

Hong Zhen: What do you think of your major?

Xiong Wei: Professional learning is only the accumulation of knowledge base, knowledge system and learning ability. Whether you can engage in related professional posts after graduation involves the career orientation mentioned above.

Guest profile: Xiong Wei, chief knowledge officer of Wuhan Blue Point Technology Company, has given many career guidance lectures in Wuhan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology and other universities; From last year to July this year, Yun Feng, an assistant engineer of Wuhan Proview Technology Company, succeeded for the 62nd time after 1 1 failed to apply for a job.

Why is it so difficult for women to find jobs?

Yun Feng: In the job application of 6 1, I called many times to apply, but many units said "we don't want women here" as soon as they heard it was a female voice, and immediately hung up.

Hong Zhen: Many people say that this is discrimination against women, and they are indignant about it.

Xiong Wei: Men may have certain advantages in physical strength, business trip and rational thinking, so they may be more handy in marketing and management. Women, on the other hand, are thoughtful and have an advantage in finance. But most jobs can be done by men and women. Some employers may consider the nature of the post, which is dominated by men, so it is limited to recruiting only men, but female candidates can show their other advantages to convince each other.

Into a big company or a small company?

Yun Feng: "Non-famous enterprises don't go" and "non-big companies don't enter", which may be the general mentality of fresh graduates when they first look for jobs.

Hong Zhen: You may think that the management of large companies is relatively standardized and can fulfill their promises. They think that small companies are small in scale, poorly managed, and their salaries and benefits are easily discounted.

Xiong Wei: This is a kind of prejudice. Large and small companies have their own advantages and disadvantages: large companies have high salaries, stability and dignity, and various benefits are in place; However, due to the large business volume, standardized management and fine division of labor, it is often "a radish and a pit", so that your work experience will be very accurate and professional, but the scope is narrow.

Yun Feng: Are there many opportunities for promotion in big companies?

Xiong Wei: There are many opportunities, but the competition is more intense. Of course, in a big company, you can "play tricks" with experts every day, and your professional ability will improve quickly.

Hong Zhen: On the contrary, in a small company, "the sparrow is small and has everything", and often one person has several jobs.

Xiong Wei: It covers a wider range at work and can exercise various abilities. After working for a few years, you may become a compound talent. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you go to a big company or a small company. The key is to understand the company background first, and then combine the career goals to see if it can bring more opportunities for future development.

More research is useless.

Yun Feng: Before applying for the job, I obtained the qualification certificate of intermediate secretary, just to increase my bargaining chip.

Hong Zhen: This is the common practice of textual researchers now. Look at the research advertisements flying all over the sky, and you can see it. Many people are asking: Is it useful to get one more certificate?

Xiong Wei: With a certificate, you can only prove that you have passed the exam. What employers value is the gold content of the certificate. Two recent graduates with CET-6 certificates went for an interview. It is difficult for one person to communicate in English, and it is difficult for another person to introduce himself in English. As a result, the first one passed smoothly, and the last one was naturally eliminated. It is foolish for someone to ask a "gunman" to take the exam in order to get a certificate, because he can't escape the interview sooner or later.

Xiong Wei: Besides, the more certificates, the higher the interviewer's expectations. If you let him down a little, the chances will be less.

Looking for a job is too tired, what should I do?

Hong Zhen: Yun Feng, 6 1 applied for a job. Did you feel tired at that time?

Yun Feng: When I hit a wall again and again, I think about the expectations of my family, friends and classmates, and the invisible pressure becomes a psychological burden.

Hong Zhen: A bad attitude will directly affect the job search!

Yun Feng: I really didn't want to find a job at that time, so I stayed at home for a week to adjust my mind. Listen to music, take a walk, practice typing in front of the computer for half an hour every day, and read professional books. In particular, a book "Mind decides everything" opened my eyes. Later, I simulated various interview opportunities and came up with many application skills. Finally, I said to myself: I will definitely find my ideal job.

Xiong Wei: Yun Feng's practice is very good. When he is in a bad mood, as long as he adjusts in time, sums up experience and lessons, does not lose confidence, and maintains a good attitude to apply, he will succeed.
