Get 10k if you transfer your college degree to IT! Who said life can't be a romantic comic?
"Undergraduate students discuss Kong Yiji's long gown, what should we college students do?"
"Is the only way out for junior college students to enter the factory?"
In today's wave of employment involution, the situation of junior college students is the most embarrassing. On the one hand, many non-technical positions have raised the minimum education level for applicants to a bachelor’s degree and rejected specialists; on the other hand, a large number of job seekers with a bachelor’s degree have flooded into positions that still accept specialists, resulting in fierce competition. It’s no wonder that during this period of time, I often see people asking questions on Xiaohongshu:
"What are you doing after graduating from college?"
Luo, the protagonist of our student story today, is also a junior college student. He graduated with a major in animation production. He switched to software testing with zero foundation. After three months of offline learning, he successfully got a high-paying offer of 10k! What should college students do in the era of introversion? Perhaps we can find the answer from Mr. Luo.
1. After returning from the army, there is no hope of finding a job
Luo, who loves anime, has always hoped that he can live a passionate and passionate life like the heroine in the anime. So after graduation, he chose to join the army and defend his family and country. Fast-forward three years, and Luo returned home after his term expired, ready to start a new life. At this time, he is full of expectations for the future and full of "burning" energy.
However, the reality soon poured a basin of cold water on him. In the past three years that Luo has served in the military, the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes. Affected by the overall environment, the economic downturn has reduced the number of recruited positions, but the number of graduates has only increased. Luo will face a more severe employment situation than before.
In the past few months, Luo’s energy has basically been focused on job hunting. He has submitted a large number of resumes online and offline, but most of them have been ignored. Both failed to negotiate. In the process of running around, classmate Luo gradually realized the fact: empty blood is useless. I don't have a decent degree or a certain core skill, so how can I compete with others? If you continue to waste like this, it will be useless except to increase anxiety, and you will not get satisfactory results.
It's time for a change.
2. Understand IT and Rekindle Hope
By chance, classmate Luo reconnected with an old friend who had been disconnected for a long time. While chatting, Luo learned that his friend is now doing testing in an Internet company, with a monthly salary of 9k, five social insurances and one housing fund, which really made Luo envious. My friend and Luo have similar conditions. They both graduated from college. The difference is that my friend did not enlist in the army.
"In my opinion, how much salary you can get is not the most important thing, the most important thing is technology. We junior college students can't compete with others in terms of academic qualifications, so we use technology to speak. This is why I wanted to take the IT route at the beginning." Mentioned My initial choice, Luo said.
Under the introduction of a friend, Luo came to our Zhenghou branch in Chengdu to experience the course. According to him, the experience left a very good impression on him. "Zhenghou feels that there is a special learning atmosphere, and he can feel at ease. The teacher's lectures are very professional and responsible. In the class, there are almost no errands and laziness. The students are listening carefully to the class. After class, many students surround the teacher to ask questions. At that time, I felt that this organization was reliable, so I signed up."
3. Study hard and get a high-paying job
Sitting in the classroom again after three years, Luo got back the feeling of "burning". As a pure 0-based career change, at the beginning, Luo, like most people who are new to IT, felt difficult and had no way to start. But this challenge is not difficult for Mr. Luo. The introductory period, which is considered extremely persuasive by others, was easily passed by him. He has his own set of tricks.
"My study trick is to ask the teacher. If there is anything I don't understand, I just ask directly. I pester the teacher to ask until I understand... Many students are shy and don't want to go to the teacher alone after class, or they are afraid of being scolded by the teacher. I I don’t think it’s necessary. Zhenghou’s teachers are very patient, as long as you are willing to ask, they will answer for you. With a call from the teacher, you can solve the problem that has troubled you for several days in 5 minutes.” Luo answered in the interview.
In the employment stage, different from the confusion and panic last time, this time Luo made sufficient preparations under the guidance and help of two employment teachers. From filling out resumes to mock interviews, to matching positions, submitting resumes, participating in interviews, and reviewing after interviews, every step has been done with great effort. Zhenghou's teachers are all new front-line teachers with rich experience in enterprise projects. They know the situation of the enterprise very well and helped Luo to avoid many common interview pitfalls.
In the end, student Luo successfully got a 10k test offer, landed successfully, and started his own career as a programmer.
"Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared"
This is Mr. Luo's life motto. Although in reality, we can't "open up" like the protagonist of the hot-blooded manga, but as long as we find the right direction and keep working hard, we can still walk out of our own way of counterattack. If you are also worrying about your future, I hope Luo's experience can inspire you.
