Optimists and pessimists each hold the word.
Editor’s note: This article is from WeChat public account “瞎说工作” (ID:HRInsight ), by Sean Ye.
A wave of layoffs in the winter of 2018, a lot of people in the workplace were awakened.
In that winter, I talked about dozens of corporate executives. Everyone has the same entrepreneurial impulse. Because of the cold-blooded layoffs optimization, many people in the workplace have more sense of urgency and shattered the long-term success of a company. idea.
Then the winter is over, spring and summer have passed, although the news of layoffs continues to burst, but the reaction of the workplace is no longer as bursting as last winter. Friends who were worried about making a second career, the friends who took the opportunity to find entrepreneurial opportunities, seem to re-emerge themselves in their daily work.
So, in today’s Liqiu, is the employment situation getting better?
After throwing this question over the weekend, the back office immediately received responses from hundreds of small partners.
There are two main points of view:
Optimistics: Headhunters are re-active, they get their own offers, and good companies are always lacking;
Peaceful: I have never seen the right opportunity, and the company’s recruitment is getting more and more cautious and the requirements are getting higher and higher.
These two situations exist at the same time. The actual situation of each individual individual is different, no matter how the big environment changes. My public number fans are mainly from 85th and 90th above North to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Undergraduate; from the proportion of comments, < Strong>pessimistic exceeds 80%.
Complete the data and talk about my own observations.
01 WhichDivision is recruiting
The headhunting phone I received from July to August in the second half of the year is far more than the first half of the year.
This is very abnormal. Gold, Silver and Silver are the recruitment season. In 2019, because many companies tightened their budgets at the beginning of the year, they optimized their teams, took stock of their strategic goals, and began to work hard to find out. Need to make up, this will be in the middle of the year.
Although I didn’t want to find a job, this frequent phone contact really made me feel good.
Although I always feel that there are some problems, but in any case, some people are willing to pay attention to you and are willing to provide you with opportunities, so that I feel that the environment is not as bad as before.
I said to myself: Maybe the winter is really over.
Then, in a chat, a friend responsible for content marketing woke me up in a word:
“Before 2014-2015, looking for a job, in addition to the big factory, you will see a lot of interesting internet startups, with ideas, goals, momentum, and a lot of budget. More opportunities at the time. Yuanhua.
Now you want to find opportunities in the content marketing field in the market, you will find that there are indeed companies in the recruitment, but the giants are recruiting, can count them with their fingers, Ali, Tencent, fast, shaking Sound, know, tiger flutter…”
These companies have one thing in common: they are giants, or unicorns that giants invest in.
So, what are the small and medium-sized startups that have ideas and characteristics?
It may be cool, it may be trying to survive, and maybe new startups are growing. They definitely need talent, but are they still capable of attracting talent in the market?
The market’s patience for startups is getting more and more limited.
This also means that as a person in the workplace, the range we can choose is getting narrower and narrower.
02 What talents should the company recruit?
The patience of the market is getting worse and worse, and the company’s patience with talent is the same.
A few friends have recently talked, they told me that there are probably two types of jobs given by the company today.
The first one, let’s call it Huashan on sword-type post.
For example, the gang needs to find a gang who can go to Huashan’s sword, and the result is a list of recruiters.Single…
Tricking and helping the Lord, asking for job skills:
-
Familiar with the dog stick method and the dragon’s 18 palms;
-
The past success in winning Ouyang Feng, Huang Yaoshi and a light master;
-
There is a strong ability to withstand stress, and the talents who can survive the snake venom, one yang finger and the finger actor are preferred.
In the past, the gangs have more patience to train new people and promote eight bags of disciples.
And now the gang wants to recruit a dog who can directly win the martial arts.
So, ordinary people will find it more and more difficult to find a job, because the lack of experience, even large companies will not give you time to grow.
Excellent people will find that I can do these jobs, but the price/performance ratio is getting worse.
Another post is called Separate portal type.
Yue Buqun feels that the growth rate of Huashan School is too slow, and the matter of acquiring Wuyue Jianpai has not been discussed.
There was a dispatched fox rushing to Hengshan to open a Huashan school rudder, but to carry out business to do Hengshan school swordsmanship. Linghu rushed to listen, the scalp was numb, I would not send the sword to Hengshan, so I sent a recruitment post:
Camp Product Director
-
Having a deep understanding of the development trend of Hengshan swordsmanship;
-
There is a wealth of experience in the practice of Hengshan swordsmanship;
-
Hengshan sent swordsmanship;
-
Having the passion of an entrepreneur and maintaining an open mind…
The company itself is caught in a growth bottleneck and hopes to seek a breakthrough.
The new breakthrough comes from new business.
Since the user bottleneck of Huashan Jianzong Jianfa and Qizong Broadcast Gymnastics is only 1 million, we can completely expand the category.
After planting a set of Hengshan swordsmanship suitable for women, it is possible to convert 500,000 new female users and increase the repurchase rate of existing users.
Therefore, there will be a deep and unreliable experience for candidates in this position.
First of all, the bosses really don’t understand. Although the plan is good, but the specifics are done, the boss has no idea at all. I hope that this talent will make up the Huashan faction.
Secondly, the bosses’ budget is limited. Today, in order to break through the bottleneck, they have opened a rudder. They have not been systematically demonstrated. They will not make money after 2 months and will be turned off in minutes.
As a career person, youDon’t complain, the company’s 1 million Huashan swordsman users have been given to you, why can’t you convert it to practice Hengshan swordsmanship?
For this kind of opportunity, excellent people in the workplace will be very tired, and ordinary people in the workplace will be very worried.
The bosses have high expectations for the new rudder, but the patience is far less than before.
03 “Optimization”, stopped?
The number of layoffs in the middle of the year is really less than the massive layoffs that came back last winter and the Spring Festival.
Does not mean no.
In fact, layoffs have expanded from the Internet industry to traditional industries.
May – Software: Oracle layoffs nearly a thousand people;
June – Mobile: Samsung, Meizu layoffs
July – Car: Wei Lai Automobile lays off nearly 1,000 people, and Shenlong Auto lays off 5,000 people;
August – Finance: HSBC global layoffs of 8,000 people, domestic securities wealth layoffs
Even if the national enterprises that have been madly praised by the parties recently, they are also experiencing news of layoffs.
For the people in the workplace, it is not enough time to be optimistic.
How to survive better in 2019, I have three suggestions:
01. Never leave a word
No matter how hard and tired the work is, don’t worry about it.
Even if you find a job outside, you are more likely to be more bitter and tired.
Naked words will bring too much risk to career development.
I am in the article “Those who are naked, what happened later? lists the three major risks brought about by the naked words, so you can look back.
In 2019, even if you are not naked, the occupational risk is not small.
No need to add more difficulty to the game.
02. Carefully quit
A girl came to consult an opportunity yesterday: she got a better offer, raised her salary, and brought a small team, and career development went one step further. But she still hesitates.
Because this new team means new risks, it means the company has limited patience. She will also worry about whether it is a potential pit.
Her fears are very reasonable. This year, the decision to change jobs requires us to go back and forth.
In addition to salary increases, we should plan our job-hopping plan from the height of career planning.
You can put a detailed list of all the most important factors in your career development, compare the strengths and weaknesses of your current position, and design weights according to your needs.
If the assessment is done, the job-hopping is in line with the plan, so even if there is risk, we should accept it. If the risk is too great, the income is too small, and it is not in line with your own plan, you should give up.
. 03 inventory of their value
I am actually quite grateful for this crisis.
The arrival of the crisis often allows us to examine ourselves more deeply:
-
What value can I provide?
-
What value do I need from the company?
-
How do I maintain my competitiveness in the market?
in “In the non-core department of a big company, how can it break? , I shared a classic NASA case that I couldn’t put down more than 10 times. Interested friends can read it again.
When the world is good, it’s not good enough;
A big environment is loose or stagnation;
As a professional person with ideal goals, No matter where you are, we must try our best to make something and show our value.
Still, the winter is not an abyss, but the ladder of our growth.
