It's the gold, silver and fourth employment seasons again. For some professionals, age has become the biggest limitation for them to find a job.
Because when most companies recruit positions below middle-level cadres, they will require that the age be no more than 35 years old. In addition, tens of millions of graduates flood into the society every year, and the degree of competition is quite fierce. Even more difficult.
And the remarks about " 35 years old = unemployment " have been repeatedly discussed by everyone, and there is even a more and more serious trend-the company will be optimized out of the game before the age of 35.
【1】The workplace crisis will come as soon as it is said, and will not prepare the workers for the slightest
As a graduate of a 211 college, Xie majored in chemical engineering and technology. Because of the support of his academic qualifications, he successfully got an offer when he was recruited by the school and entered the workplace. Three years later, he moved to a pharmaceutical company as a researcher. .
Speaking of the main reason for job-hopping, it is nothing more than the low salary. Unexpectedly, after switching to a pharmaceutical company, the salary is only 6k per month. For Xie, who is about to start a family, it is quite difficult to maintain.
You must know that overtime in pharmaceutical companies is more frequent, and various experiments have a greater impact on the body. When talking about the reasons for persistence, Xie said that he is actually thinking about being able to get into the management through internal promotion in the later stage. It will get better.
Unexpectedly, things backfired, and I received a notice of layoffs before I entered the middle management...
[2] To overcome the crisis, in addition to mental ability, you must also be able to make choices
What to do after layoffs is a workplace topic that plagues every worker. According to Mr. Xie's basic conditions and working ability, it is not too difficult to change a company. The difficulty is how to find the optimal solution that suits him among the many options. Fortunately, this window of resignation has given him more opportunities. time to think.
"I used to be young, and I could do more and more. After I have a family, I want to return to a simple life." This is his inner true thought. Following this reason, Xie finally set his sights on the IT Internet industry - software Test Engineer.
Firstly, the Internet industry has an obvious advantage in average salary, and the feature of "choice is greater than hard work" in the IT workplace has been confirmed by friends around; High, and don't often stay up late to work overtime.
For people in the workplace, the same hard work can reap more rewards, so why not do it? What's more, being able to learn a reliable technology to support future career development and not be easily replaced is also a solution to overcome workplace anxiety.
Finally, after three months of systematic study, Xie went ashore as scheduled with an offer of 9K.
【3】Second career change and transformation, successful experience sharing
① Pre-school assessment is necessary . Especially for novices with zero foundation, when comparing and understanding, they should focus on factors such as age group, major, education background, and city where they are located, and evaluate the access conditions for software testing to ensure that they can find a job smoothly after finishing their studies. (Otherwise it will be nothing but a bamboo basket to fetch water)
② Institutional screening is critical . Compared with self-study, the efficiency of class registration is high, but in the face of the current mixed training classes, you need to keep your eyes open and start from the dimensions of teacher strength, teaching ability, cost, employment success rate, etc., so as not to be discovered after being cheated. It's too late.
③ Not limited to course study . As a systematic subject, software testing needs to be proficient in a short period of time. It is not enough to just go to class every day. After class and on holidays, you should also take the initiative to give yourself extra meals and practice, and make full use of teacher-student resources to actively communicate and prepare for the follow-up. Lay a good foundation in the interview and employment link. (Especially the practical part of the project, don't be careless)
Finally, I hope that everyone can also realize the cruelty of competition in the workplace - stop foolishly thinking that hard work will pay off, and stop blindly enduring to paralyze yourself. As a worker, it is wise to be prepared before a workplace crisis and respond calmly and proactively when the crisis comes.
In 2023, I wish everyone a smooth career and use their personal strength to survive the crisis!
