It’s hard to get a promotion and a raise because you don’t have it, and cultivate your ability to be hard to replace.

We all hope that every year after working, we can make steady progress and have a steady increase in wages.

However, many people have been working for a long time, and the boss will not give a salary increase, even if the salary increase is relatively small.

The main reason is that you haven't developed the ability to be hard to replace!

What is the ability that is difficult to be replaced, in layman's terms, you have to have a skill.

This ability depends only on yourself, not on the capabilities of a company's resources or a system.

For example: maintenance ability, writing ability, planning ability, design ability, programming ability, structuring ability, translation ability, interview ability... These all belong to "one skill".

It belongs to the ability that only depends on your personal knowledge and experience. This ability will be carried with you no matter which company you go to, and will not be lost because you leave the platform.

A person with skills will change from an employment relationship to a partnership with the company.

Let’s take an example of art design. We had an artist before, and his ability to design works is very good.

So even if she resigned later, the company has some works that need to be designed individually, they will find her, ask her to help with the design, and then pay her the design fee!

This ability of hers is a personal ability that does not rely on the platform!

Maybe everyone will say, it's fine to hire another artist, and it can be replaced, that's right.

Positions can be replaced, but the ability to design works cannot be replaced. After recruiting several artists one after another, the company is not very satisfied.

There is also a position that is responsible for organizing the company's copywriting, videos, pictures, etc. every day, and publishing these on the corresponding platform.

It is indeed difficult to get a salary increase for such a position, because she is attached to the company's business process and is only responsible for handling a certain business process.

Change someone at any time, and she can completely replace her.

So Dong brother's point of view today is:

Find a job and prioritize developing your professional abilities and developing your skills.

With one skill, you are not afraid to travel all over the world!

When you encounter a bad company or a bad boss, you have the capital and the ability to fire him at any time, because you can find a suitable job for you in another place, and you don't need to look at other people's faces to eat!

It’s hard to get a promotion and a raise because you don’t have it, and cultivate your ability to be hard to replace.

For those who take the long-term route, Brother Dong personally has a few suggestions:

01

To be steady, to settle

Don't be impetuous, skills are accumulated.

Some people just came out to work and feel that their skills are not strong enough, and they are only four or five thousand yuan a month.

The classmates entered a company to do sales, often earning more than 10,000, or even tens of thousands.

Don't be envious, don't be impetuous.

Because for you, the longer the accumulation, the more value it can reflect. It is not a temporary outbreak, but a long-term accumulation.

02

Find matching jobs

Let your personal skills continue to be exercised and grown.

It is necessary to find a position that matches your skills, do not give up easily, and do not easily change industries and positions.

If your current company or boss makes you unhappy, you can change companies, but try not to change industries and positions.

03

If you are not good at it, learn

I want to take this route, but I'm not good at it, even if I don't even have a high degree, what should I do?

Just study, keep studying.

Find a good industry, a good job, and keep learning.

Brother Dong once recruited a technology. He only started learning JAVA programming and development at the age of 28. He said that he is very optimistic about the future of programming.

So after working for a few years, I chose to start studying at the age of 28.

Even if you are not good at it, you can take a look at the trends of social development.

Choose a popular industry and position, it's not too late to start from scratch!

The most important thing is to have your own ideas and goals!

Then stick to it and learn.

Well, today's sharing is here, I hope it will help you.
