The folk teahouse in winter is as warm as spring, and the people are full of voices. In this bustling teahouse, Wangcai sat alone in the corner, with a cup of tea in front of him. His brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of anxiety and confusion in his eyes.
"Wangcai, why are you always sad these days?" Lao Zhang, the owner of the teahouse, walked over with a plate of freshly baked dim sum, interrupting Wangcai's contemplation.
Wangcai sighed and said helplessly: "Lao Zhang, you don't know, it's the peak season for job hunting in the 'Golden Three, Silver and Four', but my job is still unsettled." You said that I have a lot of education and experience, so why can't I find a suitable job? ”
Lao Zhang put down his snack and patted Wangcai's shoulder: "Wangcai, this job search is not just based on education and experience. Look at you, do you also have some common problems? ”
Wangcai was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought. He recalled his job search experience during this time, and he couldn't help but have some feelings in his heart.
"Common problem? Lao Zhang, tell me, what are my common problems? Wangcai asked curiously.
Lao Zhang smiled and began to count: "First of all, you are too picky. This job is too low in salary, that job is too far away from home, in short, all kinds of dissatisfaction. But you know, how can there be a perfect job in this world? ”
Wangcai nodded and admitted, "You're right, I'm indeed a little picky. I always felt that on my own terms, I should be able to find a better job. ”
Lao Zhang continued: "Secondly, you lack self-confidence. Every interview is so nervous that I can't even speak. You must know that self-confidence is one of the most important factors in the success of your job search. ”
Wangcai sighed and said helplessly: "I also know that self-confidence is very important, but I'm just nervous." I prepare well before every interview, but when I face the interviewer, it's all messed up. ”
Lao Zhang patted the back of Wangcai's hand: "Wangcai, you have to learn to adjust your mentality." Nervousness is inevitable, but you have to believe that you are capable of the job. Only by being confident can you play to your strengths. ”
Wangcai nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask, "Are there any other common problems?" ”
Lao Zhang thought for a while and continued: "Also, you lack initiative. After every interview, I wait for someone to call you, but I never take the initiative to contact you. You know, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. If you're really interested in the job, you should take the initiative. ”
Wangcai sighed: "You're right, I do lack initiative. I always wanted to wait for an opportunity to come to me, but I never thought about creating it myself. ”
Lao Zhang finally said: "The last common problem is your lack of career planning. You only know that you want to find a good job, but you never think about what you are suitable for and what you want to do. How can you find a satisfying job by blindly looking for a job like this? ”
After hearing this, Wangcai suddenly realized: "Lao Zhang, you are really my mentor and friend!" When you say that, I finally understand why I can't find a job. ”
Lao Zhang smiled: "It's not too late to understand now." You have to learn to adjust your mindset and attitude to overcome these common problems. Only in this way can you stand out in this 'golden, silver, four' job hunting season. ”
Wangcai nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Lao Zhang!" I'm going to do my best. ”
From that day on, Wangcai began to adjust his job search strategy. He is no longer picky about working conditions, but more focused on his interests and abilities; He has learned to adjust his mindset to be more confident and calm during interviews; He took the initiative and actively contacted his favorite companies and positions; He also formulated a detailed career plan, clarifying his career goals and development direction.
After a period of hard work, Wangcai finally found a satisfactory job. He excelled in his new role and was recognized by his leadership and colleagues. And all these changes stem from his reflection and understanding in the teahouse.
Wangcai's story tells us that it is not terrible to encounter setbacks and difficulties in the process of job hunting, the key is to find the root of the problem and work hard to overcome it. Only by constantly adjusting one's mentality and attitude and overcoming one's own common problems can one stand out in this highly competitive society and realize one's career dreams.
