it is not easy to have a job and keep a job.

recently, i saw two pictures of job fairs on hot searches, and i couldn’t believe my eyes.

one from gansu, a companyhe actually offered a "huge sum" of 2,000 monthly salary to recruit a graduate student.

on the other side, there was a job fair in heilongjiang. an auto parts company is recruiting 20 general workers with no professional restrictions.but the required academic qualification is a doctoral degree, and the salary is only 3500-5000.

to be honest, it's a bit too much.

netizens generally couldn’t believe it. was this written wrong? or don’t you want to hire people at all? or is it simply humiliation?

i searched for the follow-up, and some media asked the organizer. the organizer responded: maybe the company made a mistake.

but despite such a big turmoil, the company did not issue a statement to correct its mistakes.

silence, i thought, might be the response.

this has had an impact on many people: maybe companies don’t want to recruit people, they just deal with recruitment.

but in this case, if you don't want to go, they will scold you for not being able to take off kong yiji's gown.

there are also many people who begin to doubt the meaning of reading.

doctoral students do not earn as much as hard labor.

this salary is not enough for college food expenses. when can i earn back the money for studying?

some netizens said frankly: this is the real job market.

these days, a lot of college students can't find jobs. whether you come or not, that's what the salary is.

perhaps this is a microcosm of the real job market.

in recent years, many people have clearly felt that the job market has been deserted.

some people can't find jobs, some have had their salaries cut, and some are afraid of being laid off.

in the past we always thought:what are you afraid of? it’s just a job, look for it when it’s gone.

but now, everyone is gradually realizing that it is not easy to have a job and keep a job.

more and more graduates are awakened by reality.

i came across a video a few days ago.

an accounting graduate from beijing's 985 program has worked as an intern at one of the four major universities and has a strong resume among fresh graduates.

as a result, at a job fair in beijing, a person asked him: would you like to be a teacher? the monthly salary is 3,000 yuan before tax, after deducting five insurances and one housing fund, the salary is just over 2,000 yuan.

he found it particularly ridiculous. this was beijing. his college entrance examination ranking was within 3,000, but he didn't expect that his salary was also within 3,000. this was too outrageous.

as a result, the other party replied sarcastically: look at the current employment situation, 3,000 is not bad, and there are many people willing to come.

there is also a student from china agricultural university with a master's degree in biology and medicine who received an offer from an academic editor in a company.

as a result, i found out after communication that the base salary was 3,400.

he was surprised and asked the other party to look at his resume, but the other party replied: nowadays, there are a lot of master's degrees, and they are worthless.

this is so heartbreaking, but it is reality.

more and more graduates are awakened by reality.

a master of arts in hubei went through a lot of work, and finally received an internship salary of 2,000 yuan.

but in order to make money, you still have to do it.

211 undergraduates, 985 masters, such a good education, the internship salary is only 3,000, but even so, i still eagerly said to the company: "i will do it!"

after looking at the comment section, there are quite a few people who graduated from prestigious schools and are working in jobs with a salary of three to four thousand.

even this kind of job worth two to three thousand people was snatched up like crazy.

many college graduates have been convinced by the reality. it doesn't matter whether the salary is high or not, as long as they can have a job. everyone is scolding their mothers and living it up honestly.

don’t dawdle at work.

a few days ago, during byd tsinghua university's autumn recruitment session, the classroom with hundreds of people was so packed that even masters and doctors who arrived late could not get in.

thinking about the past, they were all robbed by others early on. now, whether love comes or not, there is no shortage of competition anyway.

an even more heartbreaking scene occurred at the entrance of an electronics factory in shenzhen.

everyone was waiting to enter for the interview, but the loudspeaker shouted: those who are over 1986 can leave.

in 1986, you are only 38 years old, but as soon as you reach your age, your ability is not considered at all, and even the screw factory will not give you a chance.

another netizen participated in a master's and doctoral job fair. there were so many people looking for jobs, several times more than the number of positions.

this is true for masters and ph.d.s, but what about undergraduates?

according to the data:in 2024, there will be 11.79 million fresh graduates, a record high.

but many companies are cutting back on hiring.

for example, a major internet company offered 8,000 places for its fall recruitment last year, but this year there are only 3,000 left.

in order to solve the employment difficulty, some experts are even calling for college students to pay to work. it's simply off the mark.

countless netizens lamented: in the past, when i posted a resume, i would receive interview invitations every day. but nowadays, there is less news, and even the resumes submitted on their own initiative mostly come to nothing.

it’s not that i’m too bad, but that many companies are reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

this is true not just for the internet, but also for traditional companies, banks, and securities.

not to mention job seekers, many companies are struggling.

they no longer blindly recruit people for expansion. old employees can afford to pay wages and ensure that the company is "alive", which is already good.

when i talk about this topic today, i don’t want to create anxiety, i just want more people, especially young people, to realize this reality earlier.

in recent years, there has been a trend on the internet.

young people are constantly being told: the workplace must be rectified, the boss must be rectified, don’t wrong yourself, and leave as soon as you want.

some people also appealed: you will not make a fortune after working for a lifetime. you should step out of your comfort zone, start a business, open a cafe, and not live a life of boiling frogs in warm water, but live a hot life.

but at the beginning, those who believed in "freedom" and those who wanted to "give it a try" had already returned to work obediently. even the money they owed when starting their business had to be repaid by working honestly.

therefore, i sincerely advise everyone:

in a downward cycle, work hard and don't mess around.

first of all, if you have a decent job, just hang on and work hard.

i have a friend who works as a planner for a certain operator. a year ago, i had a big fight with the company because of my year-end bonus, and i resigned out of anger.

she originally thought that with many years of experience and a good resume, she could earn more by changing jobs than she does now.

but after going round and round, i submitted a lot of resumes, but basically nothing happened.

she also had some interview opportunities, but her salary was more than 20% off the original salary.

she was unwilling to compromise until last month, when her savings were almost exhausted. she was finally defeated by reality and went to a company. not only was she not making as much as before, but she also worked more overtime than before.

now she regrets it very much. it would have been better if she had endured it.

in fact, if you browse the recruitment area, you will find that many people who resigned naked regret it.

in today's workplace environment, ordinary people do not have a certain financial foundation and should not risk losing their jobs.

tossing and tossing, and finally getting nothing.

it’s better to just survive, work hard, and keep your job. the more uncertain the situation becomes, the more pragmatic you must be.

second, if you have money, save it first and don’t mess around.

some netizens summed it up very insightfully:

escape trilogy: postgraduate entrance examination, public examination, and editing examination;

entrepreneurship trilogy: setting up a stall, opening a store, and self-media;

trilogy of failures: takeout, express delivery, and online ride-hailing.

you will find that no matter which part it is, it is very difficult to do.

there is someone around me who, after working for several years, tried to be his own boss. with the savings accumulated over the years, i looked for investment projects everywhere, but in the end i lost everything.

some people open stores and some trade stocks.

how exciting it was at the beginning, how depressing it was at the end.

if you really want to start a business and open a store, you might as well observe how many stores near your home have changed in the past two years? how many are making a profit?

why can you make so much money?

many people don’t want to admit:going to work is actually the most cost-effective thing for most ordinary people.

if you fail to achieve results at work, you are probably not suitable for starting a business or investing.

especially in the current environment, risking all your wealth is like throwing copper coins into the sea. it is better to live quietly. you may not make much, but at least you won't lose everything. having money in your card gives you a sense of security more than anything else.

third, don’t dawdle at work. in the end, you will have no work to dawdle about.

i once had a colleague who would slowly arrive at the company almost before noon every day.

i took my time making tea, sitting at my workstation, looking around, and the whole morning was wasted.

but recently, he has started to go to work on time and often work overtime.

actively communicate the progress of the project every day and think of ways to promote the project.

why?

because layoffs began internally, he knew that if he continued like this, he would have no life left.

his story is a wake-up call for many people.

i think many people work with a dawdling mentality, barely completing their work, and don't expect a promotion or salary increase, as long as they have a job.

this might have worked in the past, but not now.

you have to believe that no boss would be willing to have an employee who hangs around all day long and turns a blind eye when the results are good. but when the results are not good, if you want to reduce costs and increase efficiency, you must first eliminate useless people.

therefore, no matter what the environment is, the best way to resist risks is always to enhance one's core competitiveness.

the real iron rice bowl is not to eat in one place for a lifetime, but to have food no matter where you are.

i like a sentence very much:

we cannot predict the direction of the world and cannot control all variables. but we can take control of every day of our lives.

do the things in front of you first and solve the current problems.

first survive, then live.

please live like a plant. during the downward cycle, take down roots and extend your root system as long as possible. when the upward cycle comes, you will surely get the most gorgeous bloom.
