When it comes to changing careers and job-hopping, many people will be associated with some negative or less influential words. But some things in the real workplace are not what you think. Lao Dong is 31 years old this year. He has been working in the workplace for 8 years. During these 8 years, he has worked in 3 industries and jumped 3 times in 8 years. According to his job-hopping frequency, he averaged 2 years. One more time jump.

Lao Dong is so fond of job-hopping, you may think that he must have been a person who didn't study hard before and knew how to mess around all day. But the actual situation is not the case. From childhood to adulthood, Lao Dong's grades were not bad, but when he took the university entrance exam, Lao Dong did very poorly. In the end, he didn't even get into the second one, and later he had to go to a junior college.

Although he went to a vocational school to take classes, his studies were still quite good. For a few years in college, he spent almost all his time on study and travel. After three years of college, he had to get a scholarship every semester for the first two years. At the same time, he also passed the English level 4, got the driver's license, successfully joined the party, and successfully passed the computer level 2. Of course, in addition to these, he also took a few certificates related to his major. As for why he took these certificates, according to his own words, there are multiple certificates and multiple paths.

Originally it was a three-year junior college, but Lao Dong only attended for two years. After the school came to the recruiting unit in the third year, he went out to work. For Lao Dong, he was an earlier person who went out to work.

Lao Dong studied mechatronics at university, and after graduation, he was looking for a technical job related to machinery and electrical appliances. When Lao Dong graduated, many factory jobs were still very popular, so Lao Dong went to work in factories under the encouragement of his teachers and the guidance of the school. This job in the factory is Lao Dong's first job. Lao Dong is very curious about this job, and he is also looking forward to it. Lao Dong feels that now he can finally work in the company, he can finally earn money and support himself. As soon as Lao Dong went to work in the factory, the factory assigned him a master to lead him. His master looked in his 40s and had a primary school diploma. He used to be a worker in a factory. Later, he studied machinery and electrical appliances for a long time, so he became an old master in other people's mouths. Although this old master doesn't know how to communicate and communicate, his skills are still good. When Lao Dong first started to learn techniques from this old master, the old master was not very willing to teach him, because he felt that the people who came out of the school now are all talented and can't bear hardships. In order to solve this problem, Lao Dong learned to run over to chat with the master when he had nothing to do. At the same time, every time he was eating, he would buy a pack of cigarettes for his master to get closer. In addition, Lao Dong will also learn to flatter his master. Later, under Lao Dong's "unremitting efforts", his master was finally willing to teach him. Later, Lao Dong learned some skills from his master. These skills are enough to help him cope with most of the problems in his daily work. However, his master is also cunning. He finally kept his hands. He did not teach the most core things. To the old Dong. Therefore, every time Lao Dong encounters some big problems, he still has to continue to ask his master for advice. And every time when Lao Dong asked about these most important things, his master always told him to let him think about it for himself, and ask him again when he couldn't figure it out. Later, Lao Dong tried to solve some problems by himself. In the face of some problems, some problems were figured out by Lao Dong himself, and he knew how to do it, but some things he never thought clearly, but he didn't want to ask his master any more. Because he felt that every time he asked his master, his master's reply always made him think again.

Later, after Lao Dong worked in the factory for less than a year, he left the factory to do sales. The reason why Lao Dong chose to do sales at that time was because he felt that the environment in the factory was not very suitable for him. In the factory, what he needs to face every day is the machinery and equipment. Every day he hears the rumbling sound in the factory, he will feel very irritable. At the same time, Lao Dong also felt that the factory was very closed, and he could not contact more people and learn more things in the factory, and it was not convenient for his future development.

Later, Lao Dong jumped out of the factory to do sales. When he first came out of the factory to do sales, Mr. Dong felt that it was a bit difficult to start out from the factory to do sales. After all, although sales sounded easy to do, when you actually do it, you will Found that sales still need to pay attention to certain skills. Sometimes you can't solve the problem by just being diligent. After all, sales is a result-oriented job. Sometimes even if you get more customers, but you don't sign the contract in the end, the boss will think that you are still in the end. No performance was made.

In the first half of the sales period, Lao Dong did not issue a single order. At that time, Lao Dong’s daily work was to go out to run customers in the morning, and then discuss business with customers. After returning to the company in the afternoon, he continued to collect customers online and make phone calls at the same time. Make appointments with customers, and communicate with customers in the evening about business and product information. The next morning, he would meet again with the clients he had made an appointment with yesterday afternoon, and then continue to negotiate business with these clients.

This is how he works every day, over and over again, repeating some of the same things over and over again. In Lao Dong's opinion, he is very clear that as a new salesman, you need to constantly explore customers, communicate and exchange work with customers. Only in this way can you filter out the real customers who are interested in buying. . Later, through the accumulation of nearly half a year, Lao Dong finally found two or three very good customers among these customers. In the second half of the year, the boss made several large orders in a row. At that time, he finally began to no longer receive the basic salary. Later, after a year of sales, because the company did not buy him social security at that time, and many customers were developed by the old director himself, but when the company finally settled the commission, the company took part of the commission from these customers. He took the past, and only gave Lao Dong a small percentage of the commission. Lao Dong was so dissatisfied with this phenomenon that after a year of sales there, he resigned from the company.

When doing sales, in fact, Lao Dong had the urge to do it himself. At that time, Lao Dong felt that he also wanted to do something by himself, but when he took stock of his resources, contacts and network, he realized that if he had gone out to do things by himself, he would still be in a good position to do it. He is not very mature, so he needs to continue to practice in the workplace for a period of time. He should spend a lot of time and energy to contact more people and more things. Only in this way can he grow up better and at the same time He can also use this time to discover more opportunities.

Later, when Lao Dong was looking for other jobs, he first excluded the factory and sales, because in his opinion, working in the factory had no future. In terms of academic qualifications, if he goes to work in a factory, he still needs to start from the grassroots level. As for sales, through nearly a year of experience, Mr. Dong has accumulated a certain number of customers in this industry. At the same time, he also knows how to sell and how to grasp the rhythm of sales. But he feels that he should look for other jobs now. He has already tried a sales job. If he finds another job in sales, he still needs to go to see customers every day, and then continue to accumulate customers and contacts. For sales, if there is no early accumulation, there will be no later harvest, and the accumulation period of sales is not very short.

Later, when Lao Dong was chatting and eating with his friend, he suddenly heard his friend say a word called Internet. At that time, the Internet thinking began to become really active. Many factories wanted to use the Internet to transform, and many people wanted to use the Internet to start a business. At the same time, he also heard that the salary of the Internet industry is relatively high, and the Internet industry has great prospects for development, so Lao Dong felt that he should also rely on the Internet, after all, this is the trend of the times.

But for Lao Dong, he has no Internet foundation and more Internet work experience. If he wants to find an Internet-related job, it is indeed a bit difficult. Later, Lao Dong felt that his learning ability was not bad, so he also wanted to try to challenge himself. Later, he signed up for an Internet-related training course, and then he spent a period of time in that training course full-time to study Internet-related topics. knowledge. After graduation, Lao Dong went out to interview an Internet company. To be honest, when the old director first started the interview, the company's personnel still hesitated for a long time. After all, for them, the old director has changed several jobs in three industries in just a few years, so On the one hand, they are very worried about the stability of Lao Dong in this company in the future. On the other hand, they are also worried that after Lao Dong leaves the training institution, his business and technical capabilities will not meet the requirements of their company. Later, when the company saw the boss's previous academic transcript and the recommendation letter from the training institution, they prepared to make an exception to admit the old director. Later, the boss entered the Internet company in this way.

When Lao Dong first went to work in that company, he still had a lot of incompatibility. On the one hand, he is very unable to adapt to the high-paced work of the Internet company. He feels that working in this Internet company is like fighting a war every day. He sees that many people in the company are busy doing their own work. At the same time, there are many people who work overtime there every day when they get off work. When Lao Dong first started working in the Internet company, several people in the company were always making fun of him, because he always seemed clumsy when he did things, and he didn't cooperate very well with many people. So many colleagues who work with him are very dissatisfied with him. Fortunately, Lao Dong knows how to be flexible and learn. During the period of working in the company, Lao Dong was actively learning on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also summarizing his failure experience. At the same time, when he is working every day, he is also carefully observing the people who do the same work as him. How do they work every day? At the same time, at noon every day, he would also eat, chat, and joke with relevant people. Later, it took him two months to finally get along with some people in the company. After Lao Dong got acquainted with everyone, Lao Dong began to share his story with everyone. At the same time, he also asked others for advice or discussed the problems he encountered in the process of work and how to work to solve the problems and other related matters. In this way, Lao Dong was finally accepted by his colleagues slowly. Later, after Lao Dong practiced one or two Internet projects, he really let go of his hands and feet to do things. At the same time, he also felt that he was truly integrated into the Internet industry.

Later, after Lao Dong got acquainted with the people in the company, he came into contact with two more projects. In these two projects, he also exercised his ability very well. At the same time, he also had a good understanding of Internet-related work and processes. Learn more. In the years when the Internet industry was developing vigorously, Lao Dong had indeed been exposed to many projects in that Internet company, and the company also gave everyone a lot of opportunities for trial and error. As for Lao Dong, he also seized the opportunities of trial and error very well, learned a lot of experience from those projects, and at the same time he also gained more knowledge and understanding of the Internet.

Later, after Lao Dong worked in that company for more than two years, he jumped to another Internet company. This Internet company is an entrepreneurial Internet company. This company has relatively few personnel, and many businesses are still in the groping stage. But Lao Dong feels that because he has experienced many Internet projects before, he is also half an old driver for some Internet projects to be done. So in the face of many things, he can now be familiar with the road and come at his fingertips. So working in this Internet company, he did not feel a lot of pressure. At the same time, when working here, he has been thinking about a problem. He knows that he has been working in the workplace for six or seven years, and he also sees that the company is making money in various ways. As an employee, he can only make money by working part-time, and this way of making money is all hard work, but he has a lot of worries. So he was thinking at that time, if there is an opportunity for him to experience what it is like to be a boss, maybe he will really discover a different life. After all, he is not too young now. If he doesn't try again, when he has a child and a family in the future, maybe he will be truly bound and unable to extricate himself.

When Lao Dong had this idea, he gradually lost interest in work. So during that time, he spent time in the company while looking for other opportunities. For Lao Dong, he also knew that he was wrong in the company, but he could not restrain his inner yearning for freedom and another way of working. One day, when Lao Dong was chatting with someone in the Internet circle, he found out that there are many people in the circle who have been paying attention to Internet earning, and some people are paying attention to Internet e-commerce, so Lao Dong I started chatting with those people. Through the chat that day, Lao Dong discovered that the circle he added was a collection of Internet people from all over the world. Some of them were product managers, some were operating, some were marketing, and some were of people are freelancers. And some of the concepts that these people raised were things he had never heard of before, and the life that some people in the circle were now living was actually the life he had always longed for.

Later, while doing online earning projects, Lao Dong was thinking about some Internet e-commerce-related matters. Because Lao Dong thinks he is from a rural area and they have a lot of agricultural products there, but the current situation is that those products cannot be sold, and now he is engaged in the Internet, so he feels that he can completely combine his advantages with their local products advantages combined. By doing so, on the one hand, he can build this blank market, and on the other hand, he can also achieve his entrepreneurial dream in this way, so as to truly realize his desire to be a boss.

When thinking of these, Lao Dong did a lot of market research. Through the investigation of the old director, I found that Internet entrepreneurship is easy to think of, but it is not very simple to do. First of all, there are already many Internet platforms, and many platforms are focusing on the integration of planting, sales, and management of agricultural products. Therefore, if he directly cuts in, it will be more difficult for him to do it. Later, after thinking about it for a long time, Lao Dong felt that he should change the way. He can start with the content first, and first publicize the good products of his hometown through the content to let everyone know, and wait until he finishes the content. After that, he can use content to do content e-commerce, and finally realize product realization.

When thinking of this, Lao Dong felt that this path could still be tried, and at the same time, this path was also a path he could grasp. Later, Lao Dong worked in the company while quietly planning his own business. After he had done this thing and his work for a year, he felt that he could quit his job full-time to do these things, so when he was 31 years old, Lao Dong finally resigned from the Internet in the first-tier cities. Work, and finally resolutely returned to the small place where he was born and raised, and started a career related to Internet e-commerce.

Maybe every business will encounter many difficulties and setbacks at the beginning, but when you truly overcome the difficulties and obstacles, you will find that many things are actually not as complicated as you think. . When you master the essentials, you will find that in fact, many things will become easier and easier to do, and the life you want will gradually appear in front of you. For Lao Dong, he left the first-tier cities when he was in his 30s. On the one hand, it could avoid the so-called middle-aged anxiety in the Internet industry; on the other hand, he could also return to a small city to be himself. career, and then really live the life he wants, which is actually a two-pronged thing.
