The fittest survive, the discomfort is eliminated!
This sentence comes from Darwin Daniel's theory of evolution in the field of biology. In his theory of evolution, he emphasized that natural selection of things competes and the survival of the fittest. If you want to survive, there must be competition, and there must be a manifestation of individual advantages in the competition, so as to ensure that you will not be eliminated quickly.

Today, I climbed up to talk with you about personal competitive advantages. Yesterday, I ran a live broadcast on the video account for a while, and talked about some of the content with some readers in the group, but it was not specific enough, so through this article, I will summarize specifically how to create a personal competitive advantage.
A few days ago, I received a few resumes, which of course were given to Xiaolu by readers. When I opened the resume and scanned it from beginning to end, my first impression was that it didn't make me feel bright. This also reminded me of the first resume I delivered. It was unremarkable. At that time, I didn't get a reply from the recruiting company and company. Later, I gradually discovered the problem.
Of course, this kind of resume is very common, especially for many fresh graduates. For most of them, the knowledge of textbooks received at school is basically the same. If there is no additional bonus point, there will be no too much on the resume. Many bright spots (ie personal advantage).

Classification of individual competitive advantages.
I divide personal competitive advantage into two categories, one is the competitive advantage in the same field. The other is cross-field personal competitive advantage.
Competitive advantages in the same field, for our own bank, only for software technology, if you are proficient in a certain language, it is a personal advantage in that technology field. Of course, as far as software technology is concerned, it is relatively broad, and on this basis, it can continue to subdivide a single field.
For example, you are good at mastering the source code of some open source frameworks, know the internal implementation principles, and can implement this simple principle by handwriting. For another example, you are good at performance optimization, and you have your own set of solutions for the performance optimization problem. These are all competitive advantages in a single field.
Competitive advantages in different fields, you not only have your own personal competitive advantage in the same field, but also have your own personal competitive advantage in cross-field.
For example, many of the big cows mentioned in the previous article, such as von Neumann and Schrödinger, not only have strong personal advantages in their own fields, but also have made great contributions in other fields. These are all cross-fields. The competitive advantage of people, and the personal competitive advantage of cross-disciplinary people is not easy to be eliminated.
Having a personal competitive advantage in cross-fields will bring you personal bonus points. For example, while you understand the product, you understand the technology better, so that it is easier to communicate with technical personnel in project cooperation. If you are a salesperson and understand a little bit of psychology, then customers are more likely to make a deal for you than someone who does not understand psychology.

How to build a personal advantage.
Let's talk about our old business again. Looking at the current market situation of technical talents, a distribution situation is gradually emerging. The strong are getting stronger, and the weak are getting weaker. There is a two-level division, showing a Matthew effect.
Even if you can find a relatively stable job with luck, stability does not necessarily mean long-term. My personal understanding of stability is a kind of retreat. There is a good saying, if you don’t advance, you retreat.
For people who are just entering the society or who are focusing on a single profession, first establish their own personal advantages in a single field, such as technology. Because there is too much noise on the Internet, you can read this article about what is the Internet noise (the recent situation, by the way, talk about the Internet noise). We don’t know which ones are the key points and which ones are absorbed by us, so we learn a little bit from the East and the West I can do everything, but I don’t have what I am good at.
If you want to break this situation, take the spring recruitment next year as an example. Now you can completely give up some of the content you have learned and focus on a certain knowledge point that you think you can learn in depth. For example, you are good at source code and you can write it on your resume. The advantage of this part of myself, when interviewing, like this kind of personal advantage, it is easy to be remembered by the interviewer, and through the principle of comparison, it can directly open the gap with other competitors.
To build a personal advantage, you need to really calm down, but in this Internet age, it is difficult for more and more people to do it. Although the Internet has brought us great convenience, it also affects everyone's thinking and way of thinking. (You can consider writing an article about how the Internet poisons people's brains later)
Of course, the more personal competitive advantages you have, the more beneficial it will be for you, especially in this age where everyone can access the Internet.
Nothing can be done overnight, it requires long-term training.
