Sun Yang (pseudonym), who has been engaged in the sales industry for 0/5 years, has experienced three job-hopping after graduation. Now, at the age of 35, he sees that all his colleagues who have worked together have mixed positions in the same industry, and some even hold important positions. Only he stood still step by step.
As his last job often ran away from home, he considered going back to Shenyang to find a stable job. At the beginning of this year, when he attended the job fair, he found that his 36-year-old age was stuck outside the age condition. The age requirements of enterprises are mostly 32-35 years old, and some even require over 28 years old. And many competitors who submit resumes are 3-5 years younger than him.
"In fact, if you want to continue working in the original unit, there may be hope of promotion, but the company will have to wait for two years. If you can't compete for the position of vice president, I'm afraid it will delay your future career. " Sun Yang said that he will be 38 years old in the next competition. If the promotion is unsuccessful, it will be more difficult to change jobs or compete with younger people, and he will not have an advantage. So, he is hesitant now.
Sun Yang said that she had considered leaving her job, but it was really embarrassing at this age. She has always felt that her company still has hope, but the competition is too challenging. He clearly felt that the "life and death line" of the 35-year-old workplace was particularly obvious in highly competitive industries such as sales.
In recent years, there has even been a phenomenon that 30 years old is not competitive. "Sometimes I need to stay up late and feel very weak. It is not as good as a young man in his twenties." Sun Yang said, however, he also has his own advantages, one is the resources and contacts accumulated over the years, and the other is the experience.
Sun Yang felt that he still had some abilities. If he really doesn't have a good job, he should do something for himself, but he doesn't understand why it is difficult for people over 35 to find a job.
The survey shows that more than 70% of the respondents agree with the "line of life and death" in the workplace.
Yesterday, in response to the statement that there is a "line of life and death" in the workplace of 30-35 years old, the reporter surveyed 30 citizens in Shencheng, including women 17 and men 13. Men are mostly 28-39 years old and women are mostly 25-38 years old. The survey results are realistic, and more than 70% of the respondents agree with this view.
Judging from the survey results of the respondents, most men believe that if they are over 30 years old and have not been promoted, they will consider whether to change jobs; Women feel that the impact is not great. But most men think that the age requirement should be relaxed and should not be set at 30-35 years old.
"Now everyone is delaying retirement. 35 years old should belong to the category of youthfulness, and the age limit of recruiting units should be appropriately postponed. " An interviewee, Mr. Cao, said that the age of the "life and death line" in the workplace has not been delayed, but has become stricter. In his job search, he found that some companies locked the age condition at no more than 32.
The reporter's investigation found that the current "post-80 s" are generally middle and senior managers of the company, and most people have no idea of changing jobs. However, some people say that if they are not promoted before the age of 35, they will consider changing jobs. "Because, after working in a company for a long time, you will lose face," said Mr. Luan, an interviewee.
