Hello everyone, I am the principal.
Last week, in order to promote his new book, Zhou Hongyi was a guest in Dongfang Selection's live broadcast room and chatted about his growth experience.
At that time, when talking about young people looking for a job, Zhou Hongyi said: "You are not qualified to choose many jobs when you are young, so all you can do in this situation is to live in the present and do the things in front of you. Don't mess around".
Is what Zhou Hongyi said reasonable? Of course it makes sense.
However, I would like to say: the matter of not being qualified to pick a job when you were young has to be looked at separately. Zhou Hongyi is just a sentence he said from the perspective of a successful entrepreneur looking back at his original work experience.
What kind of work experience does Zhou Hongyi have? During the interview, he talked about his work experience in Founder and was sent to Xinjiang by the company. At that time, he could only bear the humiliation and work hard when he was young. Later, he hibernated and succeeded in starting a business.
When you go back to history from the perspective of success, you will always think that every setback you have experienced is your precious wealth. In fact, sometimes, the absence of that setback may not affect your success. , It’s just that most successful people need setbacks to set off their success, and taking setbacks as experience will make the world sigh: his success is not accidental, it is indeed very powerful, and he has experienced so much.
However, this kind of experience is not universal, there are many accidental factors and luck in it.
In particular, everyone has different career plans. Zhou Hongyi is an entrepreneur. From the perspective of an entrepreneur, when he was young, his experience of daring to venture and not picking a job was very helpful to his later entrepreneurship. There is no problem.
From the perspective of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs, the more experience you have when you are young, the richer your experience is. If you start your own business in the future, your success rate may be higher, so you can avoid stepping on many pitfalls.
However, for most ordinary people in the workplace, I think that when it is time to choose a job, you still have to choose a job, especially an industry and position.
Because today's specialized division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, once you choose an industry or a position, it may be difficult for you to jump out, and you may stay in this industry or position for the rest of your life. Under such a background and premise, if you don’t pick and choose, you will spend your whole life in an industry and job you don’t like, isn’t it tormenting yourself?
If you look at the current job recruitment market, people who have experience in this industry and have work experience in this position are required. If you do this today and do that tomorrow, you really didn’t pick a job. When you are older, you want to pick a job. When I was working, I found that every company and every job required similar work experience and experience, and I didn't even have a little advantage in the job market, and I started from 0.
I talked about a topic on the official account before, that is, didn’t Wang Shi and Zhang Chaoyang also say a word in the dialogue column under the snow mountain some time ago?
Wang Shi said: It is not a problem for young people to get a job now. The problem is whether the job is what you like and what you want to do.
First of all, there is nothing wrong with this passage. The reason why everyone can’t take off their gowns to work is because I feel that I have worked hard and studied hard for ten years. The family spent so much money to support me to study. In the end, I went to the construction site to move bricks. Who can lay down this burden? I feel that no normal person can let go of this psychological burden.
Of course, I feel that the most fundamental problem that people dare not take off their gowns is not from their own psychological burden, but from the distribution channels in the workplace.
How to say it? That is, the first job at the beginning is easy to be qualitative. For example: I studied computer, and when I just graduated, if it might be difficult to find a job as a programmer, I will go to deliver food first. I am learning programming technology, and when I am suitable, I will find a programming job. However, when you work as a deliveryman for a period of time and then go to the job market to find a job as a programmer, it may be more difficult to find a job.
Because the recruiting company feels that you have never had a related job before, and you have been delivering food during this period, and your skills may have been left behind. There may be no chance of an interview at all.
Therefore, when you start another job, in the process of working, when you want to engage in a job that you like or that suits your major, it is often more difficult than at the beginning.
This is what I am talking about about the fluidity of the workplace. The first job is often very qualitative, which especially affects future job hunting.
Since you did that before, you must not be good at it.
This kind of characterization and connection is actually quite frightening and frightening.
This is actually a very important question.
This is also the reason why it is not recommended that you take off your gown to do other jobs. Therefore, when you are young, when it is time to choose a job, you should try your best to pick one. At least pick one you like or are good at, even if the salary is low. There is nothing wrong with starting low. Because you like, you are interested in, and even you are good at, the starting point is low, and because you are in the field you like and are good at, you can also do it quickly.
If you choose something you don’t like, are not good at, or are not interested in, because you are not interested, you can’t focus on it, and it’s even less likely to go deep into it. Therefore, it is more likely to be mediocre for a lifetime.
