Hello Teacher!
I am a double non-first, currently a sophomore, majoring in logistics management, and I plan to take the postgraduate examination of this major, but I don't know what to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination in my sophomore year.
I was very anxious when I saw that some of my classmates wrote ** to participate in the competition, and some planned to study abroad, and they all had their own plans.
Also, I want to know whether it is more important to participate in the competition and write ** or internship?
Thank you!Hello classmates!
Thank you for your paid consultation.
Regarding your question, I will briefly answer from the following aspects, and it should be communicated:
The first aspect is about what you should do to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination in your sophomore year.
Based on my own experience, if you decide to go to graduate school in your sophomore year, I suggest you pay attention to improving your English skills.
Except for your major, it is useless to study politics in advance, mainly to watch the last period of assault recitation. And politics is generally difficult to open up the gap in terms of scores.
But English is different. If you have a good foundation in the front, then you basically don't need to review at that time, just do a few sets of real questions to practice your feelings. For those students who have decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination at the last minute, or whose English is not very good, they also have to spend a lot of time memorizing words, doing test papers, and practicing their skills.
It is difficult to improve English in a short period of time. When most students are in the review rhythm of "professional courses + English + politics", you only need to do the review of "professional courses + politics".
In this way, you can save a lot of time for professional classes, your psychological burden will be much smaller, and you will definitely be more confident in review.
But for students who are preparing for graduate school in their sophomore year, I have a little advice of my own.
The reason why everyone decides to go to graduate school in their sophomore year is mostly influenced by the classmates around them (this is the second question we will discuss below). In fact, I don't recommend that you prepare too early, the main reason is that if you prepare too early, you will enter earlyPeriod of study fatigue.
To put it simply, you start to memorize words like crazy in your sophomore year and study hard, but your classmates are all excellent. You can quickly fall into a period of confusion, wondering if you're overly anxious, or wondering if you're capable of getting into graduate school, or feeling like you're still not as good as them.
In this way, when you really decide to go to graduate school in your junior year, you have actually "failed" one or more times, and your learning effect will be greatly reduced.
As the saying goes, "one blow, then decline, and three exhaustions", if the front line for the graduate school entrance examination is stretched too long, it is really easy to backfire.
So my suggestion is that you can still relax properly in your sophomore year.
The freshman year was in a stressful atmosphere after the college entrance examination, and there was a lot of pressure to study. The junior year has the pressure of going to graduate school, the senior year has the pressure of employment, and the second year is a year that can be relaxed.
At this time, when it is time to fall in love, it is time to fall in love, when it is time to travel, it is time to travel, when it is time to become a cloud, it is necessary to become a cloud, and when it is time to fly, it is necessary to fly hard......
The second aspect is that I am very anxious when I see that my classmates are busy.
This is a real situation.
In the freshman year, because everyone had just escaped from the devil's cave of the college entrance examination, they were still apprehensive, and they would hold back their strength and study seriously like high school. When I slowly eased up, I found myself in another kind of confusion.
This confusion is the anxiety and helplessness of not knowing where to go.
With the blessing of this confusion, many students will continue to increase the pressure on themselves. Some people will make an intense and busy study plan, some people will actively prepare for competitions, and some people will plan to go to graduate school or study abroad like you.
But from the perspective of our past or social people, students at this stage are more like ants on a hot pot.
Although it is very hard to be busy every day, it is not very meaningful.
I once saw a sophomore who set an alarm clock for 6:30 every day and forced himself to get up and memorize English to learn. In addition to classes, I schedule my spare time as tight as high school, and ask myself to do what I do at the time and where, and how many minutes I eat. And I require myself to close my eyes and sleep before 23:30 every day, and write a summary of the day for myself every day.
I used to tell her,You do this all for the sake of moving yourself, not only will you not gain much, but you will only make yourself more tired.
As a bystander, you must be easily led by such classmates: people work so hard and diligently, and I am too guilty of doing this.
As everyone knows, those so-called hard-working people are just busy and don't know why.
As someone who has worked in the business for many years, I can say this very clearlyThe salary of your future job is actually determined at the moment when the college entrance examination results come out.
No matter how much you toss yourself in college and how you move yourself, there are very few things that can change. Of course, those god-level classmates are a different matter.
So my advice is not to be influenced by the classmates around me, just set a goal for yourself, and slowly work towards this goal. There is no need to hang the beam and thorn the strands, nor do you have to forget to sleep and eat, as long as you have a direction in your heart, you can move forward slowly.
Especially don't be swept up by these people's mental anxiety and fall into endless spiritual internal friction, it really outweighs the loss.
The third aspect is whether it is more important to participate in competitions or internships.
This answer is relatively simple, whether you take the postgraduate examination in the future or not, internship is more important.
Because the internship represents whether your resume is valuable and whether it can be recognized by human resources. Regardless of whether you decide to go to graduate school or not, you should have at least two logistics-related internships in college.
In this way, in your senior year, you can go to graduate school with peace of mind while submitting your resume, and you will not worry that you will not be able to pass the exam and find a job when you are reviewing.
For those who pin their hopes on the graduate school entrance examination and want to be "lazy" and not go to internships, I would like to say that this world is not as simple as we imagined. It is best to go down-to-earth to the logistics company to "sit", "take a look" and "do it", after all, I am studying this major, and I have never been in contact with logistics for a day, so it seems that I can't say it.
When it comes to logistics-related competitions, the significance is not as great as that of internships. Many competitions are actually under the guise of earning school registration fees, especially those so-called associations, institutions to engage in what competitions, the test papers are ten years ago test papers, the first place in the country has 200, such a competition logistics companies can look at it?
Therefore, regarding everyone's preparation in school, my first suggestion is to go to a logistics company for an internship, the second is to do other internships, and the third is to participate in competitions.
But even if you participate in competitions, I recommend that you participate in competitions organized by logistics companies, such as SF Cup, Jingdong Cup, Cainiao Cup, etc.
Because you get a place in these competitions and write it on your resume, the logistics company does admit that this is very useful.
Later, I will talk about other contents about the postgraduate examination of logistics management.
Two days ago, I went to a party and met a company in the same industry, so I asked him about the benefits of graduate school entrance examinations.
He directly asked me a question: if an undergraduate student is given a monthly salary of 8,000, do you think I will give a graduate student a monthly salary of 15,000?
I said no. He said that's it. Your question is very simple, I will give a salary of 10,000 to graduate students at most, because you don't necessarily have more skills than undergraduates. Undergraduates can endure hardships better than you, and the salary is lower than yours, what do you think I like about you?
Besides, if I really only have a budget of 8,000, then I can just recruit graduate students, and there are still people who submit resumes.
Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, I laughed with him and said: Damn, you guys are too ruthless, aren't you?I've been studying hard for at least so many years, and I'm also a graduate student, so you can't just treat me like that, right?
He said: "Brother, you don't have human resources, you don't know how many graduate students are out there now. Now you go out into the street and throw a broom into the street, and three of the five people you hit are graduate students, and one of them may have come back from abroad."
He paused and said, "It's not that we're cruel, that's how the market economy is." If supply exceeds demand, we can only continue to raise our requirements. You see, those graduate students in our company do 'miscellaneous' work every day, and several of them are English majors."
I said, "If you do personal qualifications, you will be responsible for recruiting and dismissing people, why are you looking for a professional eight?".”
No, we sent a recruitment request, and he really submitted his resume, and we only look at 92," ......
To be honest, I was shocked by what he said. In hindsight, I think there was something of drunken bragging, but the example he gave was very much acceptable even if I wasn't in the HR department.
This exchange made me rethink the question of whether it is useful to take the postgraduate examination in logistics management.
I don't want to say it's useless, but there's always too much cruelty these days.
Maybe that's the conclusionUseful is useful, but not as useful as everyone thinks. That's all.
Good luck to all.
Good night.
