I graduated from school in 2016, facing the problem of all graduates, graduation means unemployment, what should I do on earth? With the start of the bullet train, the question followed me home.

I majored in e-commerce, which is very miscellaneous, from currency to accounting, from business to computer.

The reason why I apply for the e-commerce major is that I have read too many successful taobao business news before. If you thought I could do it, it would still fit the survivor bias.

I returned home for the future is melancholy, rest at home 10 days later, decided to look for a job.

The interview for e-commerce customer service was rejected, and the interview for e-commerce operation was even rejected. However, there are only a few e-commerce companies in this city. It seems that every graduate must realize the lesson from reality at this moment.

After being turned down by a few companies, I started investing in anything, as long as it wasn’t illegal.

At the moment, I feel the insignificance of people, and I feel deeply powerless.

After a few days there was still no interview call, and anxiety about the future began to fill my mind.

First Job

To my surprise, this job almost stained my life

After a few days, finally received a telephone interview.

The interview only examined the typing speed and some basic information, and did not ask whether I had just graduated.

I didn’t ask much about the company, just to get to work.

I was confirmed that evening and went to work the next day.

The next day early get up, riding a donkey to the company, the company is in a community to rent a house.

There are only two people in the room, one boss and one boss’s wife who is probably in hr and other positions.

The boss is in charge of pulling business.

And this business turns out to be “constant color”, they have a site of their own to do constant color, work content is to go to all places to pull people to play. Pretend that he is also a playmate, and the sucker, familiar with the later said that they know a site is easy to win the lottery, and then their winning screenshots to see the sucker.

At this time, if the fool believed on the first step of the family ruin. Boss play this constant color is not a penny, because the site is his, can casually modify the amount, and fool play is real money to play.

And the backstage can control the winning rate, no matter how you play, to the end will lose out.

When I understood, ALL I could think of was fear. After one day, I didn’t show up on the third day.

I knew it was definitely illegal, but I was just a recent graduate and didn’t dare go to the police.

I don’t know how much money the company’s pulling.

The easy is always the most expensive

Second Job

This job is not long done, although not obviously illegal, but the conscience is not

Over the next few days, I reflected on the job at home and decided that next time I would make sure to ask what the company did and what would be assigned to me while I was there. It seems that’s how growth begins, in and out, reflecting and adjusting.

About a week later, another call came, this time a salesman, selling skin care products related, I went to do electronic marketing.

Seems to be quite reasonable, so I went to the interview, but also to test the typing speed and some concepts of e-commerce.

I went to work the next day, had seven days of skin-related training and exams, and everything looked good.

After the exam began the formal work, the first few days is to call customers every day, said to exercise our courage, at least a day to chat enough hours.

I used to be afraid to call people and talk to people. These days of training down, to my change is quite big.

The business of the company is to talk to customers and then start to tell them what their skin is like, what they need to buy the company’s products. There’s a whole book of words, and there’s always one for you.

Very little of it actually works, and it can make your face worse. They are trained in 7 days of skin knowledge and have no idea how to really make skin better. And that’s enough to fool 90% of our clients.

Therefore, it is suggested that we must not resist learning, any things have to understand clearly, so as to avoid being fooled

Every day since then, I have been thinking about whether I should continue to do this, and whether it hurts my conscience if I do it. Maybe I’m just bad at business. I didn’t sell a single product. But I’m still happy inside, at least I didn’t make anyone look bad.

After more than a month, I decided to leave, I don’t want to be so young to become full of gossip.

Day of awakening

After my last job, I stopped aimlessly looking for a job because it was just a waste of time.

I have to find something that I love and that I want to keep doing.

Students who are still in school are advised to take career planning courses seriously

I began to analyze my strengths and weaknesses, circumstances and trends, and recall the moments that had made me feel great.

So I decided to engage in programming. I learned C++ and database-related courses in school, and those courses are the ones I studied most seriously. It’s a very rewarding moment when the code hits the ground running.

After the analysis of the environment decided to do the front end, my front end road began.

But I don’t have the front-end related knowledge and experience, and I can’t just go looking for a job.

So, found a lot of front-end learning materials, during the day in moOCs network brush the front of the road, at night began to knock code. After studying day and night, I think I can do it.

Duration of mooC study

It’s a fascinating day to see progress.

Third Job

I got a front-end job this time, but the pay was too low, so I worked for a month

Before I went looking for a job, I thought, you can’t meet me without something.

So I registered my domain name, bought a simple server, and created a personal web page.

Interview when I directly take their own web page to speak, so very smooth on the surface.

The work content is also real page writing. The company mainly focuses on smart city, which is relatively small in scale.

One office, less than 10 people in r&d and design.

The boss went to various scenic spots to pull business, we are responsible for docking.

At that time, the salary was only 2000, in a third-tier city, not as high as customer service.

After a month of writing pages, I realized THAT I didn’t like just writing pages, so I left again.

Discover wrong, must stop loss in time

After the end of the road

After I came back, I decided to do the back-end. PHP was very popular at that time, so I also fell into the pit. I finished the courses in MOOCs, and also bought a domain name and server to implement a mall by myself.

But small city salary is not high rise, so went to the so-called “north, guangzhou do not believe tears” after Shenzhen.

After preparing more than a month of KNOWLEDGE related to THE PHP interview questions, I set out with my friends and came to Shenzhen.

It has been 17 years now, and the salary here is really high. I met several e-commerce companies, which may be fully prepared, and basically passed the interview. At that time, the highest company offered 11K, and the probation period was also 11K.

This company is also a listed company, the leading cross-border e-commerce company in Shenzhen (maybe you can already guess which company it is). I also feel very lucky to meet such a big company, so I go to work without saying much.

I got a lot of exercise in this company and gradually learned what 996 means.

I am independently responsible for a small system, data monitoring system, a custom SQL monitoring data system. Fortunately, I have done the front end before, the page and background of this system are written by me, there is no front end resources. Because of this, my performance in the first year was B +, which was a good result.

I remember that the business situation of the company was quite good at that time, which hit a new high. Overtime work was calculated at 50 yuan per hour, and there were overtime meals, although they were weekly.

However, it may be too big, and it began to reduce costs in nineteen nineteen. The entrance of overtime application will be closed, but it will be ranked according to the overtime hours, and the last overtime will be interviewed, which means that we will start the comprehensive 996, without overtime pay.

Then he started forcing employees to leave without compensation because it was in the local shenzhen news.

All things considered, I need to be ready, too.

First wrote here, there is also a lot of detail didn’t write it, later day also happen a lot of things, want to continue to see point a praise or comments, please leave your trace, after I will continue to update my way back, including the change of the professional, attitude change, self-discipline, and the development of lifelong learning.
