The short-sighted price can only be repaid by myself in the future.

Write in front:
A few days ago, a video made me feel heavy.
This video describes a difficult job search path for an undergraduate student: After leaving the previous job, the client almost went to the interview every day. Such a day is really uncomfortable. Anyway, how can I be considered an undergraduate, but facing The interviewer’s salary of 2600 yuan a month is really unable to support himself.
The last sentence of the video is: “Forget it, I bow my head and go to work in the factory tomorrow.”
Of course, it doesn’t stop there. The following arguments are more evocative and thought-provoking.
Some netizens expressed support for the reason that “the factory can save money stably”;
Some netizens objected, and some even came out saying, “It’s been the most painful half of the past 20 years in the factory. How long can you stay?”
Behind the voices of these two factions, it reflects that everyone has different career choices;
The far-reaching impact of different choices may be an inestimable price for many people!

“What’s the purpose of career planning? Can you guarantee my promotion and salary increase? Can I guarantee my future stability?”
The consulting assistant Xiaoxin meets different visitors every day, and some of them come up with such a question, which makes the little girl very embarrassed. I do n’t know how to answer.
In fact, no career plan of any family can make promises like “promotion and salary increase” and “guaranteeing stability for the rest of your life.” Able to counterattack in life (because many factors are involved).
But one thing we are very sure about is that if a person does not have a sense of career planning and acts sloppily in the face of major decision-making hurdles, there is a high probability that the second half of TA may be struggling with one thing. That is, to pay a painful price for my ignorance and recklessness!
Some people can disguise very well, and some people are good at lying or acting, but generally speaking, your workplace situation will not lie. Your situation today is the comprehensive reflection and reflection of the past. The most objective and fair part of professional development.
First, let’s talk about my own real experience.
For a while, I started to hate going to work. This phenomenon almost happened in the 78th year of my financial work. I even once thought of escaping.
However, I also want to be face-saving. Think about how I can be a financial manager. Even if I want to back down, why do I have to find a sound reason?
At that time, my child was almost three years old. At the age of going to kindergarten, my mother was not very healthy during that time, so the child was in the kindergarten on the side of our husband and wife. Living care and so on.
Yes, I have a clever idea. Isn’t this a natural good reason?
I can say that my mother is not well, and my child needs to be picked up and taken care of in kindergarten. I can find ways to get rid of the tedious financial work, and then do relatively simple and free work, such as account keeping.
How do I get the idea?
If it is so decided, how will it affect the future?
I have to say that at a critical moment, at least one thing I am very clear is that I have to find a fewAfter consulting with professional coders, ask their opinions before making a decision.

During that time, I often participated in a management offline reading club activity (it has to be said that the advantage of offline activities is that you can meet people from all walks of life), and met with the group’s human resources director Teacher K.
When I was unable to do anything, I opened the mobile phone address book and saw Teacher K, so I sent a text message asking him if it was convenient. I wanted to ask him a career question, Yunyun.
Ms. K quickly responded to me, told me a while, and asked me to call him.
I called Mr. K as promised and talked about my confusion and some considerations.
I did not expect that Teacher K’s insight was really strong. After listening to my narrative, he said, “I think what you say is taking care of children is just a cover. It is true to want to get rid of financial work.”
I was speechless, and I admitted it generously.
“Since you believe in me, I can’t fool you. From a professional HR perspective, some words may not sound so comfortable, but I think it is still worth your thinking, would you listen?”
I said lightly: “To be honest, I just want to hear the opinions and opinions of your professionals.”
Mr. K and I said the following three points:
1. When selecting talents, companies value the other party ’s past professional experience for value-added or rising trajectories;
If a person ’s career trajectory shows no signs of increasing or adding value, at least it means that the person is too careless about his own career plan, and a person who is so careless about his own career plan, how can he convince people that TA can What’s the responsibility?
So, it ’s not that your past experience is n’t important, it ’s very important, and more important than your imagination!
2. Each confusion has a corresponding solution and method. It is normal to encounter setbacks and even produce various negative emotions at work. The key is to find the core problem in order to solve the problem;
The workplace has workplace rules and gameplay. If an adult encounters setbacks or negative emotions and does not have the ability to analyze objectively and make decisions rationally, how can TA face the challenges of future professional development? Situation, make effective action?
So, the key to the question is not whether to resign and account, but to analyze the current question.Where is the problem, is there a better solution.
3. When making key decisions, we must not only look at the current, but also consider the future comprehensively;
In our student days, we were the party that passively executed orders. At that time, the gap between people was not obvious, it was just the difference in grades;
But once you enter the workplace, the gap between people gradually opens. At this time, the comprehensive quality and ability of everyone is tested. One of the most important abilities is to face At the time of the question, can we take a longer-term view, be willing to “delay gratification”, and make corresponding efforts? This is an important indicator of whether a workplace person is mature.
After listening to Mr. K’s words, I spent a lot of time combing myself afterwards, and gradually understood the problem, and I didn’t make a decision to resign.
Because I realize that once this decision is made, the results will be almost irreversible. The financial experience I have accumulated in the manufacturing industry will gradually depreciate or lose the advantage. Within a few years, my value in the market will increase. As it gets lower, it not only fails to meet my expectations for the future, but also plunges me into an extremely awkward workplace dilemma.

The reason why I shared this experience is because I found that in the countless cases of career consulting that our consulting team has encountered, too many professionals are at the critical moment of choice and lack of awareness of career planning. Confined to the problems at hand and neglecting the rational and comprehensive analysis and judgment, this has brought their irreversible negative and far-reaching impact on their professional development, and the cost is so painful that we consultants can feel a lot of emotion.
Returning to the situation analysis of the video protagonist mentioned earlier, he only saw the unsatisfactory salary treatment problem, but ignored other factors in terms of invisible professional feedback, so he only stared at the “less money” The question wanted to enter the factory, but what he didn’t realize was that once this decision was made, what would it mean for his own career? !!
In fact, behind this decision of seeing only 2,600 wages and choosing to enter the factory, it is precisely a “scarcity” that deserves our attention.
The so-called scarcity is a feeling of “owning” less than “demand”. In this mentality, we will feel that resources are always scarce.
Busy people always feel that they have insufficient time, poor people always feel that they have insufficient money, and hungry people always feel that they have insufficient food—the scarcity of mind will firmly capture our attention and let us always pay attention to the missing resources.
And this mentality brings us more personal harm than good.
1. Reduce our mental capacity;
Some studies have shown that scarcity can occupy a considerable amount of “bandwidth” in our brain, causing us to lack insight and foresight in a short period of time.
To put it bluntly, this mentality will cause the client to have no time to think of the dilemma he faces, in fact, there are other superior and more reasonable solutions.
2, let us fall into the “juggling trap”;
Have you seen a classic acrobatic show?
The performer can keep multiple objects from falling in the air at the same time. As long as one object falls, the juggler will throw the object in his hand to catch the falling object.
Are you familiar?
How many people do this when facing difficulties!
When your work is not smooth, do you want to escape from the first thought and turn to the one you think is good?
I call this approach to decision-making and problem-solving a “juggling mentality.”
The juggling mentality will lead to a “juggling” dilemma in a person ’s career development: that is, the parties have no time to consider their career development in their entirety, but instead “snake down the gourd and scoop up”-just got rid of a pit and did not expect to fall To a bigger pit!
3. Further intensify the “scarcity phenomenon” until there is no way to go;
The more deadly problem brought by the scarcity mentality is that you have no time to focus on the future. The only criterion for you to consider the problem is to overcome the current difficulties and treat it as your all.
Unfortunately, the choice under this mentality will eventually cause further scarcity of resources. You will lose any room for mistakes. You cannot make any mistakes, because the consequences of making mistakes again will be Is disastrous!

Take the protagonist in the video mentioned earlier.
At first glance, it seems that an undergraduate graduate can’t get the ideal remuneration at the beginning stage of the workplace, and even the salary is really small, but the problem is that once he chooses to enter the factory, it is largely equal to his own funeral. Possibility of future career advancement and development.
And if he has the awareness of career planning today,After a thorough consideration and analysis of his current plight, it may not be difficult to find that, in fact, he has N more optimized options than working as a factory worker. Unfortunately, if he cannot see it now, it will be even more impossible in the future. Saw it.
If one day he realizes, it will bring indescribable regrets and hurts. In every day of midnight dreams, he will bare his chest and face his unhappy life. Apart from being exhausted, it seems There is no better way …
“Tomorrow is always easy to come. This is the fairest gift from heaven to the creatures on earth. It is fair to everyone, because everyone has tomorrow, but everyone chooses a different path. , It is cast, their tomorrow will be different. “
