background
In the context of the pandemic last year, for every college graduate in 2020, getting a job after graduation is like two mountains weighing on their shoulders, which are full of challenges and obstacles.
👇👇👇👇👇 Long warning
ambiguity
I am a junior in 2019. At that time, I felt that graduation was still far away, and I still had plenty of time to waste. Although I will go to each of the few classes carefully, the rest of the time, I will stay in the dormitory that is like the “pure land” space, immersed in games and entertainment, without a clear understanding of graduation and work, only league of Legends, DNF, King of glory every day, there is nothing I don’t play, only don’t want to play. It will also be like the year of 2018, when everyone raised their arms and shouted the words “IG🐂🍺”. In the dormitory, everyone will sit around the computer and watch the 2019FPX rise from the ashes. Although sometimes also think of their own future, but is still a friend roommates “to open black” easily hit broken…
However, when I occasionally heard that some excellent students had found a suitable internship company and had left the school to start their own internship life, I suddenly realized that if I wanted to find an internship, I could not find a little competitiveness. I have been deceiving myself with a little bit of front-end foundation.
Looking into the future
After that period of confusion, I began to think about my future. I happened to meet with the employment direction of the school. With a little front-end foundation, I directly signed up for the employment direction of the Web front-end. Then followed the teachers really stepped into the front door.
Personally, I think I’m a poor self-control person, and I am. Although I was still addicted to games in my spare time, my time became less and less. I gradually had a general plan for myself and began to learn some front-end knowledge and framework as well as Node.js by myself. I also have a plan for my future, that is, I will learn knowledge, enrich myself and improve my competitiveness in a few months. Then be sure to leave school, find a company, and learn more within the company.
A time when reality hits
After a period of learning to enrich and enhance knowledge, I felt like I was on cloud nine and did not have any preparation for the interview. Originally wanted to leave the city of life, change the environment development of me, and a friend with a cavity youth’s blood and impulse, directly resolutely, secretly came to Shanghai by plane, intending to find their own place here. The first time we take the plane, just like liu grandma into the grand view garden 🙃.
Since we had sent out our resume before we came, we both went to the interview on the second day. But each interview, the feeling is to their own self-confidence again and again, again and again blow. Arrived the fifth day that comes to Shanghai, the wall of self-confidence that builds up in the heart already collapses, no longer just came that “honey juice” self-confidence. After the end of his short trip to Shanghai, disheartened to sit on the plane home, but in the airport before boarding, I made up my mind, after I must find a job in this belong to their own, I hu Hansan or will come back 💪.
A time to regain confidence
When I just came back, I was in a depressed state and fell into a period of decadence. Fortunately, I am a quick person to adjust my attitude and soon realized my problems. I think it was because I was too weak and didn’t have any interview preparation. As the ancients say, “Prepare for an interview before you move.”
The next time, is to continue to study, while preparing for the interview and resume delivery, finally, or yellow days pay off, we found an internship company in Xi ‘an! 😃😃😃 finally began his first internship career.
In the early days of the epidemic – brave pursuit of dreams
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of December, which was also the beginning of the outbreak. At that time, I didn’t seem to realize the seriousness of the epidemic. I just wore a mask and took my temperature every day. I felt that life was still going on. In a blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival. With the number of confirmed cases increasing gradually, everyone responded to the call of the country and stayed at home. So after the Chinese New Year, the company decided to work from home. That time at home was really an important turning point in my life.
Although I found an internship at the beginning, after more than a month, I began to feel that this internship was not what I wanted. In my view, new graduates should meet challenges, just like a sponge, and try to absorb water to improve themselves, because the business of the company was very stable, so I was very idle at that time. (Someone issued a question, this is not fragrant? But at least I refused to, to use a phrase that was not as popular as it is today, “refuse to lie flat”. However, I can really learn a lot of things in the company that I can’t learn in school. I learned a lot of knowledge about Docker, Git-flow, Nginx mongodb and Node.js here, which benefited me a lot in the subsequent interview. So when I was at home. Or am I telecommuting and wondering what the hell do I want?
After a while, I realized that WHAT I wanted was a work and life full of passion and challenges. At that time, I kept thinking back on my trip to Shanghai. So soon after that, I quit my internship. Fortunately, my family respected my decision. After that, I began to prepare hard for the interview and send out my resume online.
On the one hand, because my project experience is not rich enough, that is, I am too poor, and on the other hand, because of the impact of the epidemic, the resume I sent out was like a stone lost in the sea, without causing a little splash. But fortunately, I never gave up, and kept applying, learning and changing my resume. Finally, online interviews began to follow. At the beginning of the post is Shanghai and Hangzhou, because my dream is there.
Hard work will pay off the haze will be sunny
At the beginning, I couldn’t answer most of the questions asked by the interviewer, and I felt very embarrassed, but I would write them down and learn what I wouldn’t learn, and then go to the next interview. Finally, after repeated interviews and repeated studies, I received offers from several companies. One of them, the boss of a Shanghai startup, thanked him for sharing his experience and future guidance with a stranger. But unfortunately, I didn’t go to his company.
I have received offers from both public companies and start-up companies. After consulting with my family and weighing my options, I chose my current company. After I counted the number of resume I sent out, probably in more than a hundred! I was surprised at the end. So don’t give up no matter what!
Ps: Including the eight-pack abs I want to work hard to get 😂
Towards the distant
After confirming the Offer at the end of February, I felt much relieved. After preparing for a week, I set foot on the plane to Shanghai again alone. This time, my mind was no longer the novelty and the original mysterious confidence, but the fruitful peace and yearning for the new work and life after some knowledge and efforts.
March 7, 2020, after 4pm, I remember the date clearly to this day. The moment I came out of Pudong Airport, I was very excited. I felt that I had realized my lofty ambition before I left. After that is to find a good house in advance, sign a contract, buy supplies. Because of the epidemic at the beginning, I also began my own 14-day quarantine life.
Start a new life
On March 23, 2020, I ended my isolation and officially joined the new company. Although I was still an intern, I was very excited and happy. Then in June, when the epidemic was a little better, I went back to finish my defense and got my graduation certificate and degree certificate. I became a full-time student. 🙋
Now has been imperceptible nearly a year and a half, work is also happy, leisure time also continue to learn. I learned Vue technology stack by myself before, but the new company is React technology stack. Since I knew nothing about React and Ts when I came here, I can use React and Ts to meet the company’s business requirements now. And also have a new understanding of the front end, learned a lot of new knowledge. You can also set up your own environment on your own server and automate some of the deployment processes. Also have a certain understanding of the backend, operation and maintenance and some browser side optimization, SEO, SSR and so on. You can also write your own scaffolding, build your own back-end interface, and deploy your own database. Also in the usual development with the big guys learned a lot of new programming ideas, understanding the way and method of the problem is also in progress.
In general, before is a rookie front-end, now also counts on a gradually good front-end development 😀. I am also very grateful to my mentors and leaders. Since I am a novice, I would ask a lot of questions every day, but my mentors and leaders did not bother me. Everyone answered the questions patiently and gave their own opinions, which benefited me a lot. The brain is not enough, try to gather, in order not to let oneself is a hundred thousand why, I come back every day to learn what they do not understand. After a while, the questions became so few that now I can answer some questions from other people and interns 😂😂(shame shame)
Of course, my life has also been enriched (I am not an indoorman 😂). I visited some places in Shanghai and attached some pictures
- Fake sea 🙃 Nanhui Guanhai Park
- Oriental Pearl by day and night
conclusion
In fact, I don’t think I can be called a person who strives for self-discipline. I may just wake up after a period of time.
From 2019 to 2021, I also felt my own changes. I was a person with poor self-control before, but with the pressure of work, life and future, my self-control gradually became better. The original idea of writing this article comes from the summary of myself by a better blogger of the same class who read it on The Gold Nuggets. After reading it, I feel that although I have been struggling and gained something in the past two years, I still feel that it is not enough. Third is to review the changes in the past two years, maybe in 3 years, 5 years later. Can also recall the original smug himself.
This is a summary of their own, do not like not to spray, is also to still in the university of younger brothers and sisters a lesson, planning their own life in advance, to determine their own life direction. The university dormitory is certainly your own comfortable nest, but after all, you will have to come out one day, when you are exposed to the overall environment of the society, without the core competitiveness, it will be impossible to do anything (no X, is a feeling).
Finally with my favorite poem ending “the wind and the waves will sometimes, straight hanging cloud sail to the sea! “.
