Work experience is the most important part of a resume. If you have changed five jobs in three years, and you are jumping like a little white rabbit, HR will definitely worry about your stability. The key to avoid frequent job hopping is: choose job opportunities carefully. Looking for a job is like looking for a partner. It's stupid if you only look at money; it's even more stupid if you don't look at money. In addition to paying attention to salary and benefits, when you first debut, you must pay attention to growth and make choices from the dimension of growth; old Jianghu must pay attention to development and look at problems from a developmental perspective.
Five core considerations for job selection: immediate supervisor, job content, departmental situation, company development, and industry.
01
direct supervisor
In the first five years of entering the workplace, good leadership is more important than a good platform. When we first came out, we didn’t understand anything, and we didn’t know much about the profession or the workplace. This is a process of establishing a professional outlook. You need a guide. A good leader can help you establish a starting point for career development and avoid many detours.
Teach you a simple and direct screening method:
See if future leaders overestimate you or underestimate you.
Ask him what he expects from your job? If he has high expectations of you, the job is worth it; otherwise, hang out with someone who underestimates you, and you'll never stand a chance. If a person wants to improve his ability, the most important thing to do is not to study, but to do things beyond your ability, and this can only be achieved by people who overestimate you.
When you find a wife, you say you are worthless every day, and you always say "look at so-and-so's husband, and then look at you". Your marriage and even your life will be a tragedy. Good men are boasted, and so are good employees. "Yang Yi didn't meet, so I caressed Lingyun and felt sorry for myself." Without Yang Deyi's recommendation, Sima Xiangru could only sigh alone.
02
work content
Salary is paid to the position, and behind the position is responsibility. The greater the responsibility you assume, the greater the value you create, and the higher the price of the position. This is the real logic behind the salary. Therefore, smart people will find ways to take on greater responsibilities and do more important things, because in this way they can get more rewards.
Newcomers in the workplace will inevitably do odd jobs, but they should not just do odd jobs or do odd jobs all the time. The work content determines the value space. During the interview, you should ask clearly about the specific job content, whether it is in line with your career plan, whether you can use what you have learned and your strengths, whether there is room for display and promotion channels, and whether you can learn a lot.
Try to go to the core department and core position of a company. Even if you go to a large factory, if it is not a core department or a core position, it is not the best choice. They are all big factories, and it also depends on which workshop you are in and what kind of work you are.

03
Departmental situation
The core department or key business unit is the main battlefield that determines the success or failure of an enterprise. If the department you go to doesn't matter, your job doesn't matter, you don't matter. It is not easy for you to achieve long-term career development in a department that is not the main battlefield. This is not because you are not good, but because of the importance of this position in the company.
The department on the main battlefield brings together the company's best resources, and also has the company's most promotion opportunities and the best benefits. To take a step back, when the general environment is not good, the company lays off employees, and the layoffs must be non-core peripheral departments, so another advantage of working in the main battlefield of the enterprise is that you have a stronger ability to resist risks when a crisis comes.
During the interview, find out about the department: whether it is a new department, how many colleagues there are, the position of the department in the company, etc.
As a last resort, it is best not to be a bare-bones commander, and to carry out the work alone, slow growth, and difficult to leave. In the career growth period of fighting monsters and upgrading, if you walk into a room, if you are the best person, then you have chosen the wrong place. It is best to have a good person in the team, sit next to the good person, and he will give you some pointers, and it will be easier for you to get through the two veins of Ren and Du.
04
Company development
There is only a bowl in the pot. Only when the company develops can individuals have more opportunities.
How to judge whether a company is good or not?
Mainly look at four points: the first is the company's business, the second is corporate culture, the third is talent development, and the fourth is internal management.
Some information, such as the company's establishment time, staff size, main business, industry status, etc., can be found at a glance; some information can be known at a glance, such as the company's talent training mechanism and future development plan. HR's words may be whitewashed, but it is more valuable than the high-sounding official website. If you have the opportunity to meet the boss during the interview, his answer is more valuable than HR.
There is also information to inquire or observe, such as internal management. A small partner was hesitant to join a new company. I looked at the company's network promotion through various channels, and my four-word evaluation: It's done. The mentality of the workers is: I did what I did, it doesn’t matter if it’s good or not, it doesn’t matter whether it works or not, this is evident in the company’s ethos.
05
Industry
My previous company was an education company, and I changed my job to work in the education industry. Why? Because you are familiar with this industry, you can get started when you come, which saves the time cost of being familiar with the industry, which is why the recruitment requirement writes "experience in a certain industry is preferred".
