The job-hunting bible does not easily mention failure. People's job hunting process is not smooth sailing. It is normal for an interview to fail. Job seekers need to reflect on themselves and don't give up easily, so as to find the job they like. The following is the bible content of job hunting that is not easy to say failure!
Job-hunting Bible is not easy to fail 1 1, not easy to fail.
In the process of applying for a job, it is normal to be rejected by the employer. There are countless reasons for this: either your education is not enough, or your major is not completely corresponding;
Or it is limited by other factors such as age and experience. It can be said that unless you are a "tailor-made" expert, the probability of employers falling in love with you at first sight is very small.
The key is to build confidence in the job search process, not to give up any chance of success, and to have the spirit of not giving up until you reach your goal. As the saying goes, "Where you are sincere, the stone will open." Any employer welcomes talents with perseverance.
Step 2 show your strengths
Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. The key is to learn from each other's strengths and "make up for it with diligence". For example, some people may not have high academic qualifications, but they have eloquence that others can't match;
Others may be too old and far from the "age range" defined by the employer, but he has rich industry experience and excellent management ability.
Maybe some of your advantages are just what employers want. If you can show your advantages properly, you may win the favor of your employer.
3. Enter the role in advance
Take precautions before applying and learn as much as possible about the applicant.
Enter the interview stage, choose the appropriate time to take the initiative to attack, or put forward a more perfect reform plan for the existing operation of the recruitment unit; Or look forward to the company's development prospects; Or talk about what you can do to benefit them once you are hired.
The key is to go straight to the point and let the recruiter have the impression that you have entered the role ahead of time although you have not officially "appeared". In this case, the employer will not sit up and take notice of you, have a special liking?
The job-hunting bible will not easily say failure. 2 How to avoid job hunting failure?
In order to answer the questions of many job seekers, I interviewed Shi Gang, an expert in psychological education at China Agricultural University. Before answering questions, Mr. Shi asked three questions:
1. What is the number of unemployed people in China this year?
2. How many people are unemployed in your chosen city?
3. What is the ratio of the number of job seekers to the number of jobs provided in the industry you want to engage in?
Unfortunately, few job seekers can answer these three questions. Therefore, Mr. Shi told us that the frustration in employment is due to both the general environment and the lack of personal preparation. From a certain point of view, job seekers should be frustrated and their career path needs setbacks to complete.
Why is the job search process frustrated?
Undeniably, the financial turmoil is the social background of frustrated job hunting. However, apart from the overall environment, we also have many potential causes of frustration.
First, high expectations and low reality have caused the frustration of falling behind.
Many job seekers, especially fresh graduates, don't know enough about the workplace, so they have unrealistic fantasies or blind optimism before applying for a job. Once the reality fails to meet expectations, they will feel that the gap is too big to bear.
Objectively speaking, college students' ability to resist setbacks is relatively weak, not because their ability has declined, but because their growth environment is too smooth and they lack frustration training.
Second, a radish has a pit, not that you are not a good radish, but that you have not found the right pit.
In fact, almost everyone will be rejected 1 ~ 3 times in the process of applying for a job, because the position we want to engage in may not match our ability-this recruiter must be more accurate than you.
Therefore, if the employer tells you, "I'm sorry, not recruiting does not mean denying your ability, but the current position is not suitable for you." Well, in most cases, it's not just polite words, but you really don't fit in.
In other words, there are more suitable positions waiting for you. So, if you are depressed just because you have been rejected once or twice, you are definitely asking for trouble.
Third, the psychology of failure plays a role in the dark, so that you always miss opportunities in confusion.
Some people have been looking for jobs for a long time and have been frustrated repeatedly. Ask him why, but he can't explain it clearly. Sometimes people refuse him, and sometimes he despises the job.
If so, it is mostly the failure psychology at work, and the terrible thing about this psychology is that you often don't realize its existence.
There are two reasons:
1, because he is not mature enough or lazy enough to avoid work, he subconsciously refuses job opportunities;
2, lack of career planning, don't know what you want to do and what you can do, so subconsciously "make" failure.
Two steps to teach you not to lose heart
The two steps here are: pre-preparation and post-adjustment. The preparatory work in the early stage of job hunting is more important to avoid frustration.
What should I do in preparation?
1, the first is the old-fashioned "career planning".
Its importance need not be emphasized. Many people have talked about how to plan each stage well.
Here, I only put forward a few suggestions to reduce the frustration in job hunting and attract everyone's attention. That is to say, when applying for a job, we must consider whether our professional orientation (including personal qualities such as ability and interest, which can be measured by professional standards) matches the position we are seeking.
If not, then I suggest you reconsider your job, or you will suffer even greater setbacks.
2. Secondly, information collection.
Few people answered the three questions I asked at the beginning. As the saying goes, "know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle." You don't even know the enemy. How do you fight this war? To say the least, when is a person most likely to feel depressed and scared? When you are not sure about the situation.
If you have a thorough understanding of the employment situation, you will have a clear mind, and even if you suffer one or two setbacks, you will not be in a mess.
3. A good resume is a stepping stone on the road to job hunting.
What kind of resume is "good"? Some people think that copying the online resume template can make a good resume, but it is not. In my opinion, resume is not only a person's ability, but also the mentality of job seekers.
Emphasize four points:
1. If you post photos on your resume, you must not copy them, but post the original of each one. This shows that you value and respect yourself.
2. It is clear from the beginning that the intention to apply for a job should be placed in an obvious position in front, and it is best to write two. An opportunity that is too few and easy to lose choice. More than three is more, and it gives the recruiter a psychological hint that you are not sure about yourself.
3. Resume should not exceed two pages. On the one hand, the other person has no time to read it, on the other hand, a resume of more than ten pages will only make others feel that you are not confident.
4. Avoid following suit and highlight core competitiveness. If you apply for a secretary, your resume should be careful and organized. If you apply for the public relations department, you should list more activities. Only by adapting to local conditions can we improve the success rate.
Ok, now, the preliminary work has been done. However, we still encountered setbacks in the job search, feeling depressed and having a lot of uncertain feelings about the future job search. What should we do?
Late adjustment should keep up.
The first move is to set yourself a goal of failure.
It should be noted that the goal of "failure" is particularly emphasized here. If you have been rejected five times, then tell yourself: This year the environment is not good, I can allow myself to fail ten times, and after ten times I will succeed.
This is not useless self-deception. In fact, everyone has a psychology of "realizing prophecy". Once there is a border, there will be motivation to struggle.
In this way, you not only reduce the energy consumed in guilt and despair, but also give yourself a chance to try again five times. Of course, the number of failed targets can be determined according to your own situation.
The second measure: open three resource doors.
First of all, we should change an idea here: all employment opportunities obtained by using relationships are hidden rules and unfair. In fact, this idea is wrong. Networking is also a kind of resource, just like how many foreign languages you know and what social practice you have done, which can be tapped and used in job hunting.
Here I suggest that job seekers, especially fresh graduates, should make good use of three resources:
1, family resources.
2. School resources, including the employment confidence of tutors and employment guidance centers.
3, the same door resources, that is, brothers and sisters. Because they have the same major as you, and their employment direction is similar. The opportunities or suggestions they give you are definitely the most helpful.
The third measure: do more things and be less frustrated.
The most effective method of psychological adjustment is to do specific things. Even if you just make the bed and tidy up the bookshelf, you will temporarily stay away from the negative emotions caused by setbacks, and you can get a sense of accomplishment from these easy things, and this sense of accomplishment will also migrate to the workplace.
As a result, many people will find that they have found good ideas and confidence when doing housework. Especially what you do must be simple and easy to succeed. If it is too complicated, it will take up too much time and energy, and once it is not completed, your pressure will be even greater and self-defeating.
The "gift" brought by the frustration of job hunting
The sunshine is always after the storm, which is not just sung in the song. Because every failure and setback will bring us rich gifts. If you don't believe me, think about it. Did you get such a "gift" because you were frustrated in your job search?
A, analyze yourself rationally, look at society rationally, set goals more realistically, and lay the foundation for future success.
B establish your own social support system, knowing that there are many people around you who love and support you.
C. The problems exposed in job hunting make you decide to continue your study and create opportunities for further study for yourself.
D, understand that it is not easy for parents to raise, and family relations become more harmonious and happy.
E. In just a few months, I have accumulated job-hunting experience that others need several years to gain.
F, "Moonlight Family" became financial experts, started bookkeeping, paid attention to the balance of payments, and had the consciousness of long-term planning.
