In recent years, on the Internet, the phenomenon of 35 years old has always been a hot topic of discussion among netizens, 35 years old is 30 years away from our real retirement, and the former executive of the foreign company who wrote the letter, Mr. Gong Jian, is only 48 years old, and there are still 17 years to retire, and he still needs to continue to struggle in the workplace.

The 35-40 years old is the golden age of entrepreneurship, when youth is still young, experienced, and resourceful, it is the golden age to maximize the use of resources and test their own ability, and entrepreneurship is also the best alchemy.

Entrepreneurship is the sea and sky left by today's Chinese society to every workplace, of course, there are also difficulties and obstacles and terrifying waves, so entrepreneurship is "nine deaths".

Of course, people who already hold the registered shares of the company, or who have a career editor, it is not recommended to choose to start a business easily.

How HR transforms and breaks through

AFTER 35+ HR practitioners are also facing the confusion and transformation of the workplace, and how to open the second half of the workplace in their lives.

Old friends all know that I am IT transformation to do HR, and then HR transformation to start a business, the current company is to provide management and training for human resources practitioners, so the daily contact is different industries, different enterprises HR partners.

Combined with their own experience and the experience of HR friends and teachers around them, how should HR transform and break through and find its own entrepreneurial path? The following directions can be highlighted for reference:

1. Training instructor

Through cooperation with training institutions, or through various self-media platforms to create their own personal IP, to the training podium.

The premise of taking this road is that combined with practical experience, it is a key point to have its own knowledge system output, polish and export its own course, and at the same time to be able to publish a book. After having rich practical management experience, he transformed into a training lecturer, which is more popular with the market, pure theory, there is no market.

2. Consultant

If hr who has been working in Party A's company can choose to go to some well-known management consulting companies for a few years, and then with professional ability and understanding of the industry, and then cooperate with institutions to open up the situation. If possible, it is important to work for a few years in a leading enterprise in the industry and update your resume background.

3. Headhunting

When you start doing it, focus on a certain area or region, and the companies in this area must have a certain ability to pay. Gradually build your own network, do headhunting in addition to professional communication, negotiation skills, personal connections are very important.

I have several friends who have also done headhunting services for HR transformation and entrepreneurship, and the current development is not bad.

4. Talent RPO social recruitment agent

The operation process of talent RPO is very similar to the recruitment process of enterprise HR, and the professional quality requirements of talent RPO are consistent with the recruitment of Party A, and the success rate of entrepreneurship in this field is closely related to the local talent supply and demand environment, and the talent reserve in hand is very important.

5. School recruitment agent, operator recruitment agent

These two directions of entrepreneurship, need to be able to have enough control or influence on the school's students or regional migrant workers, the needs of the demand side across the country are long-term needs, here the control of talent resources is very important.

6. Training institutions

At the beginning, it can help enterprises match learning needs, start with internal training, or cooperate with some institutions that organize offline open courses to cooperate in enrollment and gradually establish their own brand influence.

7. Freelance writer

Many HR actually serve enterprises for many years, have a lot of experience and relatively complete professional knowledge structure, at this time, as long as you can exercise your writing output ability, then with the new media platform to contribute to cooperation, the income is also very considerable.

02

HR entrepreneurship should not be easy to cross borders

HR should not easily cross the border to start a business, this will not be worth the loss, to give a few real examples around:

Mr. A: Before doing HR in Party A, I later chose to do farming with a friend, but because of the lack of experience in breeding and the impact of the epidemic, it soon went out of business, and several people lost more than two million yuan in total.

Ms. B: Once in the e-commerce company to do HR, see the company's business booming, the annual salary of operation and sales to six or seven hundred thousand, compared to their existing income, unwilling, so resigned to choose their own business, their own e-commerce, because the family is also relatively superior, the family gave him a million entrepreneurial funds, the result is less than two years, all the funds are piled on the inventory.

Ms. C: Sweet looking, able to speak, before the company responsible for corporate culture work, the first two years with the popularity of the Internet celebrity economy, coupled with the success of Li Jiaqi, Wei Ya, let her choose to resign, she knows that her live broadcast and sales experience is not enough, so choose to first sign a contract with the company that does Internet celebrity brokerage, the result is that 2 consecutive brokerage companies collapsed, and then chose to do it themselves, until the monthly income was less than 4,000 yuan when she gave up.

The above three have all returned to the enterprise and continued to be an HR.

Potato growers will not know more about fishing than those who fish, and duck farmers will not know more about steamships than those who drive steamships.

Cross-border is to pay a lot of tuition fees and sunk costs, whether it is choosing a career or starting a business.

It is slightly easier to consider the direction of entrepreneurship or transformation directly on the basis of your experience and network accumulation than to start from scratch.
