There are many discussions on the Internet about why civil engineering graduates do not work in their majors, and there are also many small partners who consulted Huizhimei: Can graduates majoring in civil engineering switch to IT?
In fact, Huizhimei feels that civil engineering-related work is worthy of recognition. It is just that it has been relocated with the construction site for a long time, which is not very friendly to many friends with families.
Of course, some friends want to change careers because the working environment on the site is not very convenient for girls.
Today, Hui Zhimei is here to introduce a girl named Xiao Zhao who switched from civil engineering to software testing.
01. I don’t know the importance of profession when I’m young, so I’ve filled in my volunteers
Xiao Zhao graduated from Urban Underground Space Engineering in 2017. After graduation, he worked as a technician in Shanghai Construction Engineering. Most of the work was on construction sites. Not only was it hard work, but the working environment was not very convenient for girls. He worked for more than a year. , I resigned to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.
Reluctantly, the results of the postgraduate entrance examination were not satisfactory, so I was ready to return to the workplace, but did not want to find a job on the construction site.
One is because it is more inconvenient for girls on the construction site;
Second, civil engineering is not my ideal career.
The university major is really something that I just filled out without knowing the importance of the major when I was young.
During the postgraduate entrance examination, I lived with my high school friend. My friend was taking part in the study of switching software testing. After watching her study, she successfully found a corresponding job and developed quite well, so I wanted to learn more about it.
After being introduced by a classmate, I came to Huizhi Power to learn about software testing. After understanding many aspects, Xiaozhao felt that the working environment of software testing was good and the working place was stable. She also liked the IT industry.
After careful consideration, she decided to study software testing.
02. Study again, just to meet your ideal job
Although the university major is not ideal, you can enter a new industry through re-study. This can be regarded as a timely adjustment of direction and efforts to catch up.
Seizing the opportunity to study again, Xiao Zhao also worked very hard. During the learning process, he carefully listened to the lectures, marked the areas of doubt in time, thought carefully after class, and sought help from classmates or teachers in time if he couldn't figure it out.
Xiao Zhao said that she likes this kind of learning atmosphere very much, not only with the guidance of professional teachers, but also with a group of like-minded friends who encourage each other and make progress together.
On learning, Xiao Zhao also shared some experience:
1. Listen carefully in class, solve problems in time, digest the knowledge and skills taught by the teacher in time;
2. After class, summarize and think more, and have time to expand the depth and breadth of related technologies.
03. Adjust the direction and find your ideal job as you wish
After three months of systematic study, Xiaozhao mastered excellent knowledge and technology. Soon after graduation, he got an offer for a software testing position in a technology company with an entry salary of 10.5K.
Xiao Zhao said that he is quite satisfied with his current job. The working environment is relatively comfortable. Although there will be overtime work, the overall atmosphere is online.
On the employment interview, Xiao Zhao also shared some ideas:
01. Follow the guidance of employment teachers
After the course, the employment teacher will have systematic employment counseling, such as communication skills training, mock interviews, etc. At this stage, following the pace arranged by the employment teacher, I have gained a lot in communication skills and some interview skills. The promotion.
02. Be familiar with the projects you have done
You must be very proficient in the projects you have done. During the interview process, the interviewer often asks a lot of questions about the project experience, and he should think about the projects he has done.
03. Sincere and confident attitude
Participate in systematic learning, affirm the knowledge and technology you have learned, build self-confidence, be sincere in the interview, answer truthfully to knowledge and technical points you are not familiar with, and move towards yourself Will guide you in the direction.
For most ordinary people, if they want to find an ideal job in the IT industry, participating in systematic vocational skills training may be a shortcut, a "fast lane" for adjusting their career direction and constantly catching up.
Here, Huizhimei would like to congratulate Xiao Zhao on her successful career change, escaped the construction site, and found her ideal job!
