Chapter 1 The Difficult Road to Finding a Job
In October, autumn is the season when the autumn leaves are blooming, and the morning breeze is already cool. But the gymnasium in the center of Tianhai City was a different hot scene at this time, only to see countless black heads hugging outside the gate, and noisy sounds spread around wave after wave, like a boiling black ocean. The crowd waited anxiously, talking, complaining, and the existing ranks became chaotic. Some staff members with badges were trying to maintain order, and the movements were simple and rough, causing shouts and angry scolding.
Above the iron fence gate, a red banner more than one meter high is hung, on which a row of large characters is written in eye-catching yellow paint "Tianhai City Twelfth Realm Large-scale Talent Exchange Conference", which also explains the reason for such a lively scene.
"Chapter 1: The Difficult Road to Finding a Job, please line up! Keep order! "Please line up! Keep order! ”
Several hand-held horns kept screaming orders to the crowd, but it was expected to be futile.
Li Youran, the protagonist of this article, this ordinary-looking young man is mixed in the chaotic crowd of job seekers at this time, and his thin body swells back and forth with the waves of people, like a piece of driftwood in the sea. His face was expressionless, he had experienced this scene many times, he had long been used to it, or rather, he was numb, he just waited quietly.
Li Youran, whose name is Youran, is not leisurely at all. After graduating from a third-rate university two years ago, he still hasn't found a formal job, and after graduating, he learned that the economic management major he studied is a panacea, which can be used anywhere, and it is not particularly needed anywhere. Odd jobs such as tutoring, odd jobs, sales, and market research, he did it during school and after graduation, but he couldn't make it up.
In the slightly more formal units, countless cover letters were submitted, but in the end, they were all mud cows into the sea, and they didn't even make a splash.
My last job was as an insurance salesman, which is said to be the most difficult job in the market. After two months, in the face of dismal performance and the indifferent and disdainful face of the manager, Li Youran took the initiative to resign under the effect of self-esteem, and did not even ask for the last half month's basic salary.
Li Youran did not complain, he knew that if it were not for the state's policy of expanding the enrollment of colleges and universities, he would not have been able to be admitted to the university with his academic performance, and the only way out was to work in the family farm, or join the team of migrant workers who went out to work.
Li Jiagou ...... Second Uncle...... Second aunt, when she thought of this, Li Youran felt a sour feeling in her heart, that poor ravine, the second uncle owed a huge amount of foreign debts for his college education, and he couldn't pay it off so far, but he didn't ......
"Ring, ring, ring, ......" The rapid electric bell rang, interrupting Li Youran's thoughts. The exchange meeting finally opened, and countless hands danced with tickets, impatiently rushing to the ticket gate of the venue.
"Bang!" "Whoa!" "Oops!" There was the sound of glass breaking ahead, and screams accompanied by the cries of women. The on-site staff hurriedly scribbled their hands and rushed towards the place where the incident occurred. But many more people don't want to pay attention to it, and they can only target the recruitment booths in the venue.
The flow of people quickly filled all the open spaces in the stadium, and various sounds mixed together, causing the entire glass curtain wall to hum.
It took a lot of effort for Li Youran to squeeze into the front of a recruiting unit, and his image was very embarrassed, the gray suit that he had bought frugally - was ravaged and crumpled, his tie was crooked to the side, and the leather shoes that he had carefully wiped when he went out in the morning were also imprinted with countless footprints.
"Hello, my name is Li Youran, and my major is ......" Li Youran tried to introduce himself to the recruiter.
"Okay, put down your resume, if it's right, the company will notify you of the interview." The recruiter interrupted unceremoniously.
Li Youran had no choice but to stop, take out a resume, carefully place it on the stack of small mountains of papers, and then pressed it with his hands before exiting the pile.
In an open space outside the venue, a beautiful female reporter from a fashionably dressed TV station was doing an interview program, and in front of the camera was a middle-aged man with a big belly, who was the leader of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee.
"Hello, Director Wang, this talent exchange meeting is unprecedented, what do you think about it?"
"Well, yes, as the largest event in history, this exchange meeting has received the care and strong support of leaders at all levels of the municipal party committee and municipal government, as well as the cooperation of many aspects, and has been a great success. The purpose of the conference is to provide employers and the vast number of talented people with the opportunity to choose in both directions, so that people can make the best use of their talents and materials, and promote the city's economic construction and spiritual civilization construction. Director Wang smiled and talked eloquently.
"Ah, I've already felt the warm atmosphere here," the female reporter made an exaggerated expression, and then asked, "Another question, what do you think about the difficulty of college students in finding employment?" ”
"This problem needs to be looked at correctly." Director Wang paused, and his face became a little serious.
"In fact, there is no shortage of jobs in society, mainly because some college graduates do not have a correct mentality, they are so ambitious, looking for a job and picking and choosing, this is dirty and that is tired, or the salary is low, how can this work? Schools and society should strengthen the education of the vast number of students, establish a correct outlook on life and values, and do not start from the most basic work, but always want to climb to the sky, how can they grow into useful talents for society? Therefore, all in all, putting down one's body, going to the grassroots post to exercise, and to shine is the fundamental solution to the current employment problem of college students. ”
"Back then, when our group of old college students graduated, we advocated a red heart to prepare with both hands, respond to the party's call, and go to the most difficult places to exercise. I am willing to make a brick, and let the party move it in the east, west, north and south. Some people say that this spirit is outdated, I say no, this spirit will never be outdated, and it will continue to be carried forward in the new era! Director Wang's expression was a little excited when he said this, and he couldn't help but raise his voice.
According to insiders, Director Wang's own son also graduated from college this year, and he has long responded to the party's call and arranged a very "exercise value" position in the Municipal Taxation Bureau.
"What you said is very good, it seems that the ideological education of college students' employment is the key." The female reporter echoed with a smile on her face.
A few blue-faced job seekers passed by, and their faces became even more ugly when they saw this performance.
"Phew! The guy who doesn't have back pain when he stands and talks, and he still 'lets the party move in the east, west, north and south'? It's been a few years, and now I don't want the party to move to the party! The bystander cursed secretly.
At noon, Li Youran walked out of the venue sweating profusely, his legs were as heavy as lead, and he found a bluestone bench on the side of the street, and sat on it regardless of whether it was dirty or not.
In the morning, more than 20 resumes were submitted, and all the responses were formulaic, and it seemed that there was still little hope.
"Roasted sweet potato, roasted sweet potato, fragrant and oily," came the hawker's shout next to him, and then a tempting aroma wafted in the wind.
Li Youran remembered that he hadn't eaten yet, and his stomach couldn't help but start gurgling. I took out my change, bought a medium-sized sweet potato, peeled it off, and nibbled on it.
The sweet potato went down to the stomach, and the mouth was blessed, but the stomach was uncomfortable, and there was a spasm, and the sour water went straight up.
Li Youran pressed his lower abdomen with his right hand, and his stomach problem was committed again, which may be the result of the shrinkage of food and irregular work and rest time over the years.
After a long time, the tumultuous stomach finally calmed down. Li stood up leisurely, dressed up, picked up his bag, and walked towards the bus stop.
There were also several eye-catching job postings on the billboards at the station, and several passengers waiting for the train were watching with interest, laughing and cursing at each other.
Li Youran was a little curious and took a look.
"XX nightclub, looking for male and female public relations, daily salary of 1,000 to 5,000 yuan, daily settlement. Welcome people of insight with elegant taste and dignified appearance to join. The road to success opens for you. ”
"Damn, I really dare to make a bid." Li Youran smiled bitterly and shook his head, these days, what kind of thing is public relations, I'm afraid even children know. actually posted all the advertisements outside the talent exchange meeting, and they were printed so large.
"Wow, wow, wow......" The unique rooster crow bell rang, causing the two girls passing by to purse their lips and laugh.
Li Youran hurriedly took out the black-and-white screen mobile phone that he bought from the second-hand market for 100 yuan, but it was a familiar number.
"Fatty, it's you."
"What? I'm disappointed to hear your voice. Which mm call are you waiting for? The guy who is heavy on color and light on friends. A disgruntled voice came from the earpiece.
"you, I'm waiting for Vivi's call." Li Youran immediately counterattacked. Luo Fat Man is his only friend in college, and that Wei Wei is Fat Man's girlfriend.
"Come on, Wei Wei is 'like a silk reed' to me, and her love is stronger than gold, and she will never waver."
"Sour, sour, tooth down."
There was a toad-like laugh in the earpiece.
"Come on, let's be serious, how are you getting a job?" Luo Fatzi asked.
"I don't know yet, I said I was waiting for the notice, waiting for the notice. There were more people looking for jobs than TMD ants in the venue. Li Youran couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds.
"I said Ranzi, find a job slowly, don't worry, if you don't have enough money, say it, don't be nervous. You kid is going to die to save face and suffer sin. Luo Fatzi's voice also calmed down.
"Okay, okay, I'm not as miserable as you think, I saved some money a few days ago, and I'm looking for you to borrow it if I don't have enough in the future." Li leisurely looked at the road, and the car came.
"Okay, I'm going to get in the car, I'll call you later." Li leisurely pressed the end button, turned around and boarded the bus.
On the other side of the phone, Fat Luo shook his head.
"This kid ......" !!
