"Summer Solstice...... Were you born on the summer solstice? A man with a ruddy face flipped through Xia Zhi's resume.

"Yes." Almost everyone asks this question when they first pronounce her name, but unfortunately this curiosity doesn't seem to bring her any luck.

Xia Zhi was thinking about how to answer the man's next question.

Regular questions are "why do you want to be XX", "What qualities do you think make you good for this role", "How are you going to do your job if we hire you", and some ask about salary expectations.

Xia Zhi had already memorized the answer to the letter, but the man closed her resume and pushed it back to her: "You are very good, but I don't think you are suitable for our position." ”

I waited in line for another half an hour. She sighed inwardly, and at the same time felt sorry for her numb calf that was stepping on the six-centimeter heel.

She felt that the arc of her lips could no longer support the trembling facial muscles, but she still persevered, and she said insincerely: "Thank you very much, it doesn't matter, please accept your resume, I hope to get further advice from you when I have the opportunity." ”

Thinking that her words had been quite appropriate, she half-stood up, bowed slightly, and withdrew, giving up her seat to a girl waiting outside the tent.

The man looked at her one last with a mocking smile on his face. There should be a lot of fresh graduates like her who forcibly leave their resumes. She knew that her resume would be thrown in the trash after she left the house, and she had to do the same.

At least I left my resume, and no matter how slim it is, there is still a chance. If you don't leave anything, you don't have a chance at all.

She actually hated it, hated groveling, hated trampling on her self-esteem, but in comparison, she didn't want to admit to her parents that she just couldn't find a job.

As early as half a year ago, Xia Zhi began to prepare her resume, and she was almost the latest to start. When an internship comes back from the grade, the student who confirms the intention to sign a contract with the internship unit has become a myth in the department.

For example, Xiao Yiqing, she signed Nanshui No. 6 Middle School, one of the four famous schools in Nanzhou. As a top student in the top three grades in the past four years, she has this qualification.

Xia Zhi was happy for Xiao Yiqing, and Xiao's success more or less stimulated her, making her work hard to figure out what she had done in the past four years.

It's that she mainly followed the trend when she made her resume at that time, and everyone was nervous and eager to write her resume as a dormitory director for a week into her resume, she didn't want to look too different.

Just when she came home for the Spring Festival, she brought her resume back. After Xia Jianfeng saw it, he had a detailed discussion with her.

In the impression of the summer solstice, it seems that this is the night that father and daughter talk about the most in their lives.

She posted a photo under the lamp, and Xia Jianfeng paced behind her, coughed, and then sat on her bed, with one hand on the back of her chair. She had to stop and turn to him.

"Summer Solstice, if you want to find a job, Dad will definitely support it. Dad crosses the bridge more than you walk, doesn't he? So Dad has some opinions, you still listen to them, but how to do it, you can make your own decisions. ”

Well, this opening sentence is very much in line with Xia Jianfeng's patriarchal identity.

"First of all, Dad reminds you not to be ambitious, any job is good, do it first, just graduated, everyone starts from a low level, salary or position is not important, what you want now is experience, first find a job you can do, one or two thousand monthly salary can be."

First of all, I didn't have too high ambitions - Xia Jianfeng said a word, and Xia Zhi responded in my heart.

Of course she understands the principle of starting from the grassroots level, as for the salary requirements, she doesn't think much about it, as long as she can support herself, her material desire is not high, but one or two thousand, is it a bit too low?

Of course, Xia Jianfeng couldn't hear her belly slander, and continued: "Secondly, you have to be patient. Although your father and I don't have any skills, but I do a job for the rest of my life, and now the company has to call Uncle Feng when they see me.

"Only by being down-to-earth can we win the respect and trust of others. Today's young people, at every turn, say that this salary is low, that there is no development prospect, what is the future is not promising, if you don't work seriously, who will give you a future? ”

Only Xia Jianfeng would brag about being a warehouse manager all his life as a life achievement, why didn't he blow the glass of the cabinet he collected?

"In the end, Dad saw your job search intentions, and shouldn't have interfered with what you did. If you want to be a journalist, you have to run the news everywhere, carry a camera everywhere. We are an ordinary family, your parents used to plow the fields, and your brother is a working boy, so they don't mean that you are rich and rich, just be stable.

"Why did we let you study as a teacher? Doesn't it just want you to live a stable life and not have to run around, which is better than your parents, your mother and your brother. Those things that are glamorous on the surface are not what families like ours should pursue. If you think about it, don't go to other people's homes. ”

Hearing this, Xia Solstice almost spit out. What's wrong with a family like hers? Isn't it poverty? If you are poor, you have to be inferior everywhere, and you have to divide your work into three, six, nine, and so on, and if you don't obediently teach, is that what they call the pursuit of glamorous?

Of course, she knew the family's economic situation, it was not so bad, her mother He Yan was diagnosed with breast cancer in her third year of high school, and an operation emptied the family's savings, but fortunately people survived.

It is precisely in this way that she filled in Nanshan Normal University when she filled in the college entrance examination, because the teacher has tuition subsidies, Nanshi is also a famous teacher training college in China, and reading her favorite Chinese in Nanshi can be said to save the country.

Even so, Xia Zhi doesn't think it's necessary for her to put the rest of her life on the line for this, and how saturated teachers are now, how difficult it is to find a teaching position, does Xia Jianfeng know it? But she didn't scold him to his face.

She rarely contradicted her parents, she didn't say a word at home, and if they said anything that didn't like her, she would nod her head like she did that night, and say something clear and it was over.

She knew that Xia Jianfeng decided that she couldn't find a job in Nanzhou, and without her consent, she went to the relationship privately, saying that the principal of a primary school in the town agreed to give her a chance to try teaching, and kept urging her to go back for interviews.

However, when she heard Xia Jianfeng's words during the Spring Festival, Xia Zhi was disdainful, and now thinking about these words, she was shrouded in a grievance that she didn't want to admit defeat.

She wasn't really anxious. She carefully recorded the key points of the application and collected the recruitment information sent by the department, purely out of the good habit of being meticulous about everything.

She feels that the conditions are very good, and according to her grades, she will be in the middle, but there are not many copies of published articles in the department like her, plus she has been the president of the literary club and the editor-in-chief of the department journal, which can be regarded as a gold-plated identity for graduates of the Chinese department.

At least more than the upper is less than the lower, isn't it said that the employment rate was 93% last year? She's not always going to be the last 7%.

All job fairs held during graduation season are battlegrounds without gunpowder.

They are ready to go, whether they are soldiers or generals, and it depends on who can have the last laugh.
