#35岁以后的人出路在哪里? #
Yesterday, a netizen posted a question on Zhihu:
40 years old, experienced the pain of unemployment. It is very difficult to find a job due to the limitations of technology. I'm getting older, and I feel that my future is bleak~
To tell the truth, every time I see such a message, I will have a feeling of being torn: "middle-aged, unemployed, education, pension", just a few words, but it makes people feel a kind of powerlessness.
I was also worried about losing my job.
When I was young, I was not afraid of anything, I fell out of love, and I lost my job. He threatened to travel all over the world to pursue his dreams.
After the age of 35, he began to live cautiously, the more "cowardly", but he still couldn't withstand any "wind and grass".
A grain of sand in life is a mountain when it falls on everyone's shoulders.
Oh, yes. Each of us encounters many difficulties in life and inevitably gets confused and anxious.
Still, you have to believe that there is a way. As long as you keep going, you can see the dawn of dawn.
Today, I would like to share with you three ways out of the job after losing your job, hoping to inspire you.
Even if you lose your job after the age of 35, your life is not without a turnaround.
01. The first way out: take the initiative to change - change the career track
Many people are facing unemployment at the age of 35, and one of the reasons is that their careers have reached their peak.
Don't look at flight attendants who only eat "youth rice", in fact, many positions have "invisible ceilings", such as me: human resources department.
I've been in the industry for 10 years and I've seen too many people jump into the market after the age of 35, and many of them are in charge of people.
They have a great education and family background, but they all choose to sell insurance outside.
As a result, there is such a phenomenon: some well-known insurance companies have gathered a large number of outstanding talents in their brokerage teams.
Some people are forced to do so, while others want to make a breakthrough in the economy and seek higher value.
When I wasn't working, there were a lot of people who approached me as an agent.
At first, I was disgusted by this, but I have seen too many success stories like this: working hard, earning millions a year, gaining financial freedom, and living worth.
I realized that people need to constantly break through their own preconceived notions and accept new things, so that they can find new career opportunities.
Of course, I'm not trying to sell insurance, but I'm trying to tell you that you don't have to keep doing it until you retire.
You can choose to learn cooking, hairdressing, driving, sales, and housekeeping. Times are changing, and you have to adapt to them.
With more skills, you can have a better job.
02. The second way out: try "bulk employment"
I just learned the word. That's why many people prefer to split their time into "fragmented" jobs rather than dedicate most of their time to full-time work.
My cousin is a classic example of "bulk employment".
She graduated from a technical school and used to work in a factory, but because the company was not doing well, it went bankrupt.
After losing her job, she also tried many full-time jobs, but the salary was too small and the working hours were too long to take care of her family.
After that, she gave the example of "bulk employment":
From 8 to 12 a.m., help the master clean up the house and cook.
From two to six o'clock in the afternoon, I worked as a salesperson in a clothing store.
From 7:30 to 8:30 in the afternoon, help with the children and nanny.
I ran three places in one day and made three sums of money. Although it is very hard, there is an income of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan every month, which is more than enough for a small city.
"Bulk employment" not only brings good pay, but it is also highly resilient without the fear of losing your job.
Since employers don't specialize in Western food, many places require a large number of temporary workers.
When it comes to the benefits of "bulk employment", I have experienced it first-hand in the two months since I lost my job.
During this time, I don't need to work, I will do some part-time work, like writing some articles, or writing some articles, or doing some tutoring.
There is an evening cram school in the community, where many children finish their classes and wait for their parents to pick them up. I tutor them, give them homework, and earn thousands of dollars every month.
Although "bulk employment" is hard work and requires a lot of manpower, it has brought us more jobs.
You don't need to work hard for a stable job, as long as you practice your abilities, you can achieve "flexible employment".
03. The third way out: self-employment
Ever since I lost my job, I have become more and more aware that no matter where I work, I can't escape the pain of being at the mercy of others.
No matter how hard you try subjectively, external conditions will always limit you. Look at how many of those who are now unemployed were once the elite of the company.
Instead of making cows and horses for others, it is better to make cows and horses for yourself.
At the very least, the money you spend is meaningful.
For example, my official account has only been open for more than a month and has posted more than 30 articles, but the total reading volume has exceeded 100,000+, and the income has exceeded four figures.
It makes me happy and fulfilled.
In addition, in the past month or so, I have helped nearly 30 friends solve their career problems, organize their career plans, organize their resumes, and provide guidance for interviews.
This not only gave him extra money, but also gave him a sense of success in helping others and sublimated his self-worth.
In the next step, I will focus on more content, such as going to Xiaohongshu, to make myself a place on all social media.
For people like me who do network marketing, this is a relatively simple way to start a business, it doesn't cost much money, you just need to find the right person, find the right person, improve your awareness, improve your execution, and you can quickly see the "results".
In addition, personal accounts such as Douyin, live broadcast, and Xianyu can also be tried. After all, so many people have worked their own.
In addition to starting a business online, you can also consider offline brick-and-mortar businesses.
For example, those who eat breakfast, sell snacks, and open cafes and cram schools.
The one next door to my house is at the entrance of the subway station, and it has an income of tens of thousands of dollars at night.
Therefore, many successful cases are in front of you, and as long as you have the courage to do it, you will have the opportunity to make money. Of course, the investment in offline companies is very large, so it is important to do a thorough investigation before starting.
2024 has arrived, and although many people say that this year will be even more difficult, I believe that life will not disappoint everyone. My concern is that you're just complaining, not changing.
