Don't pin the rest of your life on finding a good company!

When Xu Zhong graduated from University, he entered this large state-owned enterprise with a history of more than 60 years, and directly served the "iron rice bowl" that others envied. In the past few years, when China's steel industry was the most prosperous, his monthly income as a sales executive was the same as other classmates' income in a year, and everyone was envious. However, as the country attaches great importance to environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction in the past two years, this veteran state-owned enterprise finally announced a complete shutdown in July.

Xu Zhong said: In any case, I never thought that such a day would come, and it would come so quickly. Now Xu Zhong can only stare at his computer and mobile phone every day waiting for an interview invitation like a young man. Although it seems that there are more opportunities, the reality is that good companies do not like him, and he does not like small companies.

Many years ago, a Nokia HR manager once said that he interviewed a middle-aged man who was applying for a technical director. He graduated from Wuhan University with an undergraduate degree and graduated from Tsinghua University with a postgraduate degree. Before applying for a job, he served two companies, both of which were the top American companies of the year. . After the HR interview, I thought the job seeker was very good, and by the way, I asked the other party what else they wanted. The job seekers just said they hoped Nokia would not go out of business, because the first two companies they worked for are no longer there. The HR manager just smiled and said: We are different.

Nothing is different in the economic market. Nokia, which was the world's largest sales volume and China's largest mobile phone market, was first acquired by Google and then sold to Microsoft. Where are the employees who were once regarded as the happiest in the past. Woolen cloth?

Is there anyone in this world who can be trusted? The most reliable is yourself.

No matter where you are in the workplace or what age you are, you must quickly make yourself feel a little more crisis-oriented. The uncertainty of the future is sweeping at an unprecedented speed, and you have no idea what the next year or the next year will be. Where will you be in two, five years? The only thing that can be done is to plan ahead and plan in time.

First, don't stop learning

No overtime at the age of 20, no hard work at the age of 30, do you still have a job at the age of 40? Well said, it takes 3 years for a job to go from ignorant to mastery, and then by the fifth year you can basically use your toes to deal with all the problems. But if you've worked for 20 years, at most you'll be repeating the experience you've accumulated over the first five years.

If you don’t develop other job skills or need breakthroughs, and put all your life hope on the accumulation of these years, once the company goes bankrupt or you lose your job, you will find that your life is wasted.

Second, plan for yourself

What kind of person do you want to be in the future, you must ask yourself this question in your heart. If it feels vague, then be more specific, what kind of position do you hope to climb in the next 3-5 years? How much do you get paid? What level of people do you meet? How much to wear and where to travel with the kids?

Only when your answers become more specific, the future self will become clearer and clearer. When you really know what you want, you will be able to be targeted in the workplace.

The social environment is always unpredictable, and no matter how much you pray for good weather, the reality always backfires.

But you can always remind yourself to have a clear head, a motivated heart, and a dream that can't go with the flow.
