An unforgettable first job search experience
The temperature of the heater filled the room, creating a warm feeling. A stable office environment, good salary, and harmonious interpersonal relationships were my ideal working environment when I first entered the workplace six years ago. Those who worked tirelessly in college and were in their prime when they were young are in a dilemma when they face the workplace for the first time. The society is more realistic. You will not be able to find your ideal job just because you performed well in school and have solid professional skills. Because less than 20% of the majors learned in school are used in actual work. Without work experience and the ability to deal with interpersonal relationships, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the workplace and find a job that suits you. It is because of the "first time" experience that everything is difficult at the beginning, that we have the "heavy" memories of our first job search in the workplace, and that we have our first job search experience in the workplace.
In February 2004, the smoke of SARS slowly receded, and the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually increased, restoring the bustle of the past. I have been in Beijing for four years and this is my first time to spend the holidays in Beijing. The feeling of homesickness makes me feel the loneliness of being alone in a foreign land for the first time. I rushed to the "International Exhibition Center" carrying a "sling bag" with more than a hundred resumes on my back. I like this "sling bag" very much. It was the "sling bag" my sister bought for me for 70 yuan before I went to Shanghai to go to school in 2000. It was also the only thing I could show off during my college years. The "International Exhibition Center" is the first large-scale job fair after the year. There is an endless stream of people coming and going. I arrived at the "International Exhibition Center" before nine o'clock in the morning. Since I have no goals, I don't know what kind of position to apply for. Professional, after all, I don’t have any work experience, I don’t know anything, as long as I can go to work, I can do anything, and I don’t have any career plan. When I go to every booth, whether it is network management, website editing, Internet marketing, computer repair or web design, as long as it is related to computers, I submit a resume. I always feel that there will always be someone with this kind of "overseas investment". I contacted him and felt a lot more at ease.
Everyone has had a similar experience. A printed resume can be applied to many companies. Regardless of whether it meets the recruitment requirements of this company or not, a resume will be put in. The purpose is to attract many companies. Please pay attention to the unit, there will always be an unit to contact you. Now that I think about it, it was indeed a fluke mentality. When I dragged my lead-filled legs into an IT outsourcing company to submit my resume, a man wearing glasses took one of my resumes and asked: "What are you doing?" Do you know how to configure routers, have you used switches, and can you set up a local area network?" I was overwhelmed by a series of questions. Some theoretical knowledge in school does not involve the configuration of routers, and I have never seen a switch. To be precise, this is the first time I have heard of network devices such as routers and switches. As for the establishment of a LAN, it makes me feel even more confused. Because I have no concept of "LAN" at all. I came to the "National Exhibition Center" in the morning and started posting resumes one by one. This was my first on-site interview with this IT outsourcing company. I had no mental preparation and no professional knowledge. When I heard the recruiter say: "We need work experience "We don't recruit fresh graduates who can work right away." My cheeks felt hot. It was the first time I felt discrimination, and my self-esteem was inexplicably hurt.
I sent out more than a hundred resumes like a net. If God gives me another chance, I will take a good look at the recruitment requirements, job responsibilities, and send out resumes with a purpose, but I will not do it again. I have my first job opportunity in the workplace. Holding the remaining resume in my hand, I walked aimlessly on the sidewalk of the "National Exhibition". After a busy day, I saw many units packing up their things, holding piles of resumes, and the recruiters looked at them. Stretching smile, my heart is cold and cold. I wandered to a booth, and an elderly man in his sixties with glasses looked at me and said, "Young man, come and sit here." This booth was relatively deserted. I walked around a few times, and other units were vying to submit their resumes. Despite the prosperous scene, this stall is deserted and has few traffic and traffic. I took a look at the recruitment requirements of this unit. There are no academic requirements or work experience restrictions. All I need is a computer major.
The elder looked at me and said: "Our unit is in Daxing. We repair cars. We work on two computers and receive emails. Isn't it tiring? If you are interested, please leave a resume and we will notify you to come. "Interview", I looked at his gray hair and shabby clothes, thinking that this might be a small repair shop with two houses and two computers. Anyway, this is just a resume, so I can't throw it away. It cost money to copy, and I couldn't walk, so I simply gave him my resume and went back to have a good rest.
The time waiting for the recruiting unit to call is the most difficult time, because there is no contact information of the recruiting unit, only passive waiting. Waiting is a long process. Three days have passed, and more than 100 people have been called. The delivery of resumes seems to have evaporated. Yes, touching the deflated wallet, hope is getting slimmer and slimmer. The key issue now is to solve the problem of food. Just when I was at a loss what to do, a phone call restored my confidence, "Are you Jiang Xuezhi? I'm Daxing, a car repairman. Do you have time today? Come over for an interview." He was the one who finally submitted his resume at the "National Exhibition" Elderly phone calls. I said excitedly: "How much does it cost per month?" The elder said: "The trial period is one thousand two thousand." I hung up the phone, quickly changed my clothes and set off. This was the first time I heard about the place "Daxing". Anyway, it only needs to be in Beijing, whether in the outer suburbs or the inner suburbs. Out of more than a hundred resumes, this one is still considered valid, because so far, this is the only company that has called me, so I have to take advantage of it. Because I was so excited, I even forgot the driving route to this unit. Anyway, I walked in the direction of "Daxing". When I got there, I followed the phone number on my mobile phone to ask the elderly where the specific location was.
The bus was moving slowly, and I felt drowsy. The conductor asked: "Where are you going?" I said: "To Daxing", "Daxing is a big place, where are you getting off?" the conductor asked impatiently. I quickly picked up my cell phone and called the elder to ask where to get off the bus. The elder's phone number could not be found, maybe it had been deleted accidentally. I can't go back. I asked: "Where is the terminal? Is there a car repair shop there?" The conductor looked at me curiously: "Young man, you are so interesting. Fuyuan Community is the terminal. There is a Volkswagen there." I’m not sure if this is the 4S shop you’re looking for.” I said, “It’s a small repair shop with two computers and two rooms.” The conductor said, “That place is big, not the one you’re looking for.” Work unit, please ask carefully." I got off the bus from the terminal. I looked at the time and walked for three hours. They were all the same. Anyway, I was looking for a job. I asked where the Volkswagen 4S store was. Go to this unit.
Two security guards stopped me at the door and asked, "What are you doing here?" I timidly said, "I'm here to apply for a job, and I don't know if we're hiring." Next to the security guard, a man holding pliers and a screwdriver, leaning against the sign at the door, said: "You can apply for a system engineer job, and don't go there. There are about thirty people applying for your position. You have no chance. Go back." " Later I found out that this man was an electrician in the unit, named Liang Zi. He has a sloppy personality and is very motivated. Last week I asked him to come to my hotel to sort out the wiring, and he even mentioned this matter. I think I can't just go back. I rushed for three hours to get to this place. Is it easy for me? Asked: "How do I get there? Who can I apply for?" The man said, "Go to the Human Resources Department, Mr. Zhao. He is responsible for applying, and I will apply for the position of system engineer today." I went to the second floor and found the Human Resources Department. I was shocked when I saw it. After a jump, the elder was sitting inside, his hands full of resumes. So much so that I later told my boss about this matter and filed a complaint against him, "The company is so big, and they mentioned two computers, which made me mistakenly think they were two repair departments. It doesn't matter if they don't promote the image of our company, nor do they." As for being so low-key during recruitment, it’s no wonder that we can’t recruit people. There’s something wrong with the recruitment method.”
The elder at the desk said: "Call me Mr. Zhao. You have also seen that there are so many people applying for the job today. We are only recruiting one system engineer. Xiao Cai will apply for you in a while." One of them is wearing glasses. The man waved his hand to me and motioned for me to come over. I unnaturally sat on the sofa opposite him, my heart skipping a beat. The person who applied for my job was Xiao Cai, as Mr. Zhao said. My name is Mr. Cai. We talked about some professional computer theory and study. Maybe my eagerness to work impressed him, maybe my positive attitude towards life resonated with him, or maybe we both lived in the same place. Place, familiarity with the same place makes us talk about the same thing.
He stayed in a hot spring for two years when he was in school, and I also stayed in a hot spring for two years. We put aside technical issues and mainly talked about the changes in the hot spring in the past two years, the humanistic environment, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Slowly, I relaxed a lot. . At the end of the day, I said, "Mr. Cai, whether I can come to work or not depends on your words." Mr. Cai asked me to wait for a call the next day and for a re-examination, which was directly assessed by the boss.
After so many years of hard work in the workplace, I insist that, “Everyone’s abilities can be cultivated and knowledge can be stored, but a person’s attitude towards life is the most important.” The boss asked: “What do you think about your work? What are the requirements, what are the salary requirements?" I said, "I want to stabilize and keep working. Will the unit take care of food and housing?" The boss showed a smile on his face and said, "The unit will take care of it, not the food. You can keep accounts for meals. As long as we pay wages, the company will not go bankrupt in three to five years according to this development trend." So I came to work in this company by accident, and I worked there for six years. Although the seemingly peaceful first job application experience will not be of any empirical help to everyone's application, it is indeed the most unforgettable first job application experience in my life, and it is also the only one.
After so many years of hard work in the workplace, I still miss the confusion when I first entered the workplace. This is a very difficult choice. Your choice will determine what kind of path you will take in the future. You must make a good career plan and clarify your career route. You cannot just follow the trend. Before applying, investigate the company's background, development space, and job requirements, and prepare different resumes based on specific requirements. Do not "bombard" and blindly submit resumes, whether at a job fair or online, so as to increase your chances of applying. .
