In the past year, the social workers who have left their jobs and lost their jobs have been grasped at once.
I have a social worker friend who is ready to change careers and start a business, and he is already optimistic about the storefront, and he is just waiting to open the door and make a fortune.
Another friend asked me if I felt like I was about to lose my job, and I wanted to change careers but I didn't know what I could do.
There are also middle-aged social workers who are distressed, they are already over 35 years old, they have no chance to change careers, and they are afraid that they will lose their jobs at any time.
What can a social worker do when they change careers?Will it be difficult to develop a career change?Changing careers or staying, which is more cost-effective?
With these questions in mind, I chatted with a few friends who had mixed well after changing careers to share their experiences.
1. From social worker to teacher, changing careers for many years will eventually pay off
A colleague asked me if I was 26 years old this year and wanted to change careers but had many concerns, and whether this age was no longer suitable for changing careers.
I told her that a friend Momo only changed careers at the age of 26, and now she is a teacher with a stable monthly salary of tens of thousands, which can be regarded as a counterattack.
After graduating, Momo worked as a social worker for three years, and her salary rose from 3,000 to 4,000.
In the fourth year, she got a job as an administrative assistant in a five-star hotel with her good English skills.
The salary is more than 4,000, including food and housing, and the benefits are not bad. But there was no room for development in the executive position, and she had other ideas.
Momo likes English more and wants to be an English teacher for a long time, but her major is not right, she does not have a teaching certificate, and she does not meet the conditions.
After thinking about it, she decided to try in the direction she liked, so she used this year to get a teaching certificate, and after dozens of resumes and interviews, she finally got a job as an English teacher in a private primary school.
After working in a private primary school for several years, the salary rose from 4,000 to more than 8,000, but he was never able to apply for a professional title. And the work pressure is too much, the competition for grades is particularly high, and I heard that there are fewer and fewer private students, and the job may also be unstable.
So she found an opportunity to change to a substitute teacher position in a public primary school, and her salary dropped to 4-5 thousand, but fortunately, she had the opportunity to apply for a job title, and she may still be tested for a position in the future.
So I worked as a teacher for a few years, and finally applied for a junior title during this period.
This year, the principal told everyone that in the next few years, the substitute teachers will be slowly eliminated and replaced with all establishment teachers.
Momo had a sense of crisis again, and paid attention to work everywhere and participated in the preparation exam. Finally, in August, I got a contract teacher post with equal pay for equal work in a primary school.
Although it is not a establishment post, the treatment is the same as the establishment, with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, as well as performance bonuses, etc., which makes her feel bitter and sweet.
Momo changed careers relatively late, and the development is also full of crises, and the pressure is huge, not much better than social workers, and it is not until the later stage that she counterattacks.
Mainly, she has a firm career direction to strive for, and regardless of the salary and pressure, she feels that being a teacher is the most suitable for her.
Therefore, whether you change careers or not, whether you have development or not, the most important thing is to see what job is most suitable for you.
2. From being oppressed to changing careers, doubling income + time freedom
Yoko has a master's degree, a professional in social work, and 5 years of social work experience, but the salary is only more than 3,000.
Despite this, she still survived at the social work station for several years. There is no way, it is difficult to find a job in a small county, and I don't want to give up social work.
It wasn't until a few months ago that she finally got upset.
Leaders always pua her with "you are a graduate student, you must do better than others", "you are more experienced, and you should take on more points".
So much so that her related colleagues swiped her mobile phone every day, she worked overtime every day, and even had to work from home on holidays.
Yoko was completely disillusioned with the industry and decided to change careers. But this year's environment is not good, and there are not many jobs in small counties, how to change?
She began to turn down too many work placements and began to use her experience to her advantage to work part-time.
It turned out that Yoko had done a lot of part-time jobs before, such as selling salted fish, live broadcast planning, and manpower recruitment.
Under the introduction of a friend, I assisted the manpower company to recruit people on the weekend, and as a result, I recruited more than a dozen people in the first week.
alarmed the boss to ask her for an interview and offered conditions: she can work from home, work freely, and come to work in the company in the form of basic salary + bonus.
Yoko did not hesitate and agreed directly. I did it for two months, the time was free, and I still had a salary of 7-8 thousand per month.
On this basis, Yoko plans to use her previous side hustle experience to explore what else she can do.
Yoko's success is due to her daring to think and do, accumulating a lot of experience, and once she figured it out, she acted immediately and quickly found a way out.
On the other hand, it is true that personnel is a place where she can give full play to her strengths, and there will be good results as soon as she gets started.
Friends who have the idea of changing careers and have various concerns can first accumulate various experiences through part-time jobs and find what they are good at, and naturally have a chance to break the game.
3. Clear future direction, accumulate advantages and achieve development
Unlike others, Tingting's only requirement for her job is to make money, and working as a social worker obviously does not meet her expectations for salary.
But a hasty career change may not be successful.
Out of optimism about the development of the new **, it is more important that it is possible to develop into a freelance state.
She enrolled in a new ** school Xi camp, working during the day and attending classes at night.
After the first phase of Xi, she thought that she still had room for improvement, so she continued to apply for the new ** cash camp.
This time, she strives to become a small class leader to help the teacher run the community. During this period, she also began to produce ** works.
Her idea was to create her own **, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and after realizing the results of the camp, the teacher invited her to join the team.
After learning about the salary and job content, she quit her job as a social worker and joined the new ** team.
After two years of work, she transferred to the local new ** as an anchor, and she mixed quite well, at least she was very satisfied.
Tingting's approach is to change careers, and it took a long time to understand various professions, and first clarify which direction is more suitable for her.
Then enroll in classes to study and Xi, so that you can have the foundation of industry ability, and even upgrade your Xi to have industry competitiveness.
Another advantage of enrolling in classes is that you can get to know the big guys and get employment opportunities faster.
If you don't feel that you have any advantages and talents, you might as well find a career direction to study Xi first, and you can try it at a certain level.
