Chapter Twenty-Five: Choice
After a day of rest at home, Qin Zijin officially ushered in the first day of work after the New Year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are still many people in the company who have not come to work, and Qin Zijin is bored at the front desk alone.
At the end of the year, Qin Zijin was thinking about changing jobs, and it was time to take action this year.
Taking advantage of his free time, Qin Zijin logged on to the recruitment website to understand the general situation first, so as to be mentally prepared.
As soon as I opened the website, there were more than a dozen pages of job postings, but most of them were duplicate positions, and telemarketing accounted for a large proportion.
Qin Zijin thought of when he first came to Shanghai last year, he was also looking for a job at that time, because he didn't have my computer and Internet around me, so he could only go to the Internet café to check, and then go to the talent market.
In February, when it was warm and cold, there was a lot of rain.
The rain was pouring and the wind was cold, Qin Zijin still had to hold an umbrella and take his resume in such weather, and transfer a few buses to take the subway and go to the interview.
While waiting, I went to the job fair with my resume.
The word "shoulder to shoulder" is a fitting description of the situation at a job fair.
Qin Zijin never knew that the job fair would be such a crowded and difficult state, and he had participated in the job fair when he was in Wuhan before, but they were all small, and compared with the job fair in Shanghai, it was a small thing.
Now Qin Zijin doesn't want to go to the job fair.
The job fair is too concentrated, and even the interview time is arranged too tightly, but the interview time is uncontrollable, often the interview is to miss the next home, and some companies will directly tell you after you go to tell you that the position you want to apply for is full, and then start to recommend other positions like you.
After something like this happened once or twice, Qin Zijin didn't go to the job fair.
However, the only thing that has remained constant last year and this year is the choice of the type and nature of the work.
When books are used, there is less hatred, and this sentence is most applicable when looking for a job.
You can't look down on ordinary jobs, but you can't look down on ordinary jobs.
When Qin Zijin first came to Shanghai, he wanted to find a job he liked, but after several twists and turns, under the pressure of time and economy, he finally chose a job at the front desk.
Now that the situation has stabilized, Qin Zijin is ready to move again.
Back home, Qin Zijin and Liu Zishu talked about this problem.
"I want to change jobs, what do you think?"
"It's long overdue!" Liu Zishu's expression was exaggerated, "I'm still thinking about what you're waiting for before you change jobs!" ”
Qin Zijin rolled his eyes, and then sighed a little: "I see that the Internet is mostly sales work, mainly telemarketing, when I came to Shanghai last year, I still wanted to find a sales job, and finally chose a sales company, until now I still feel that if I want to understand the real workflow and content of a company, just listening to him touch his upper and lower lips is completely empty, only when he really enters the company to start training or work, do you know his actual content." ”
Liu Zishu thought for a moment and asked, "You mean that you have the company that participated in the training before, right?" ”
Qin Zijin nodded.
"That company made me deeply understand this sentence, what I introduced during the previous interview and training, and what I introduced when I participated in the training and officially arranged the job, although it is not a world of difference, but it is also very different."
"So what kind of job are you going to look for now, whether you want to be a salesman or a clerical job."
Speaking of this, Qin Zijin was a little dazed: "Do you think I should find a job that I don't like but like even though I don't make much money, or find a job that I don't like but is more profitable?" ”
Liu Zishu was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't find that Qin Zijin would ask such a question.
"In the final analysis, this question still depends on yourself, you feel that you want to do what you like, you don't want to live all for work, you can choose the job you like, if you feel that the main thing is to save money at the moment, then choose a more profitable job, don't care whether you like it or not, and wait for the economy to be more stable, and then choose what you want to do."
After a pause, Liu Zishu smiled and said: "Of course, you can also choose what you like now, you don't have to think about economic issues, for now, I can still support you." ”
Qin Zijin smiled and didn't speak.
It is naturally happy to choose what you like to do, but Qin Zijin doesn't want to rely too much on Liu Zishu, both financially and ideologically.
In this way, sooner or later you will lose yourself.
"I'm going to think again."
"By the way, what type of work do you want to do?"
Qin Zijin dragged his chin and said slowly: "I always didn't know what I wanted to do, or I didn't know what I could do, the process of finding a job was a process of exploration, I could only use the elimination method to eliminate the work I didn't want to do, and then make a choice based on my actual conditions and work content, treatment, and now I have been working for a year or two, and I deeply feel that it is too painful to do things I don't like, so this time, I still have to choose one that I like or at least don't hate, The pay is also okay work. ”
"Yo!" Liu Zishu raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say that you want to make a lot of money, it's a pity how to pay back your salary." ”
"Cut! Are you the kind of person I don't think I can do anything about myself? Qin Zijin gave Liu Zishu a look of contempt, "No one can eat a fat man in one bite, if you want to make money, of course you have to have the ability to make money, but look at me now." ”
"What's going on now?"
Qin Zijin spread his hands: "What do you want!" After speaking, he sighed again, "When I was studying, I didn't know the importance of mastering a skill, I only knew about the exam, and when I went to work in the society, I knew that knowledge and skills were not much, and I knew that a little bit of everything was completely useless in the workplace, and it was not as good as a person who was proficient in office software, so it can be seen how important it is to have a skill that can be mastered." ”
Suddenly, Qin Zijin clapped his hands, startling Liu Zishu.
Qin Zijin said with a smile: "So, take your time step by step, no one has a job close to home with more money and less things, you can first find a job that can support yourself and have a little surplus, and then do what you like in your free time, turn your hobby into a skill, so that everything will be easy to say." ”
"Uh... As far as I know, your hobby is probably not sales, so you still have to work as a clerical worker. ”
"Well, I don't want to do sales, I don't like dealing with too many strangers, in contrast, I prefer to deal with machines, at least not as many twists and turns."
"Whatever you do, you have to deal with people!"
"Of course I do!" Qin Zijin rolled his eyes, "I mean it's more about dealing with machines, okay!" ”
"Why? Dealing with people, after a long period of contact, you can become friends, or become your own network, dealing with machines, after a long time, you can only change a machine, how boring it is. ”
"The human heart is sinister!" Qin Zijin pursed his lips, but his expression was calm, "I still like to deal with machines, people's hearts are changeable, and it is inevitable to carry their own emotions at work, so machines are different, as long as you do your job well." ”
Qin Zijin is not afraid of socializing, she is just not keen on socializing.
For the current work at the front desk, Qin Zijin doesn't like it.
Not only because there is no future, but also because there is no way to make money, and more importantly, every day is all kinds of trivial things, and there is no mental work at all.
Qin Zijin was really afraid that one day, he would get used to doing nothing like this.
"So what type of job do you want to get?"
Qin Zijin squinted at Liu Zishu: "Look, you really don't know me, I said to find someone you like, but you still asked me, which means that you don't know what I like." ”
"I know!"
Qin Zijin leaned back, his legs folded: "Okay, what do you say I like." ”
"You like me!" Liu Zishu's tone was firm, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be here, wouldn't you!" ”
"......" Qin Zijin was expressionless, "Your face is so big." ”
"Alright, no kidding." Liu Zishu leaned over, "Do you want to look for a job while going to work, or do you want to resign first and then look for a job?" ”
"Of course, it's looking for a job while going to work, riding a donkey to find a horse, you know, if you quit your job, and you can't find a suitable new job for a while, then you have to drink the northwest wind."
"That's right." Liu Zishu nodded in agreement, "Didn't you say that you want to find someone you like, then you can only find a clerical job!" ”
"Maybe, I'll think again."
Qin Zijin was still a little hesitant.
She likes writing and wants to find a job similar to editing, which can be a hobby as a job, and she can also exercise her writing skills in her work.
However, she has no work experience, which is equivalent to starting from scratch, which means that the salary is not satisfactory and will continue for a long time.
Qin Zijin is not a person who is ambitious, but the consumption in Shanghai determines that she can't regard money as dung, in such a metropolis, clothing, food, housing and transportation, everything has to cost money, without money, it is difficult to move an inch.
However, if he chooses a job he doesn't like just for money, Qin Zijin doesn't think it's worth it.
She doesn't want to work for the sake of work.
Qin Zijin was very entangled.
On one side is the reality, and on the other side is the ideal.
Qin Zijin didn't know what other people thought when they were looking for a job, but Qin Zijin had been out of school for three years and knew the impact of a job on him.
Working from 9 to 6, a total of nine hours, a total of two hours on the way to and from work, 24 hours a day, except for the time to sleep at night, it can be said that the focus of daily life is on work, and there is rarely your own leisure time to use.
In this case, if you are not happy at work and don't like it, what hope is there in life!
Every day commuting to work, buses, subways and roads are full of people in a hurry, rushing for life, and no one cares about anyone.
Occasionally, as long as Qin Zijin thinks that he will have to go to work in the next ten, twenty, thirty, or even longer, and live this kind of 9-to-6, unchanged life, he can't help but break out in a cold sweat.
This kind of life is unimaginable and boring.
After a few days of hesitation and thinking, Qin Zijin made a decision.
Dreams cannot be abandoned, but they must also face reality, and both are indispensable.
If you lose the former, you will be smoothed out by reality and do nothing, and if you lose the latter, you will become a complete utopian if you are not careful.
Qin Zijin doesn't want to live a life of inaction, nor does he want to become a parasite dependent on others to survive in this materialistic society.
The only way to do this is to work your own.
"I've decided!"
"What has been decided?"
Qin Zijin rolled up his sleeves and said that it was called a heroic dry cloud: "I want to be a positive and good young man, work hard, and live a healthy life." Since I can choose now, then I will first find a job that I like and can be qualified for, if I really can't find a suitable one, then find a job that I don't hate first, do what I like in my free time, and strive to turn my hobby into a job as soon as possible, well, that's it, that's right. ”
In the end, Qin Zijin nodded, as if confirming his thoughts.
Liu Zishu looked at Qin Zijin like this and laughed out loud.
