With the rise of artificial intelligence and machine automation technology, the storm of e-commerce, the impact of new **, and the wave of anti-globalization ......
Huge changes are obsolete professions and industries that can't adapt, and in recent years, there have beenMany industries are facing a "wave of layoffs", and according to expert analysis, even these four industries have become the hardest hit areas.
However, career change also breeds new opportunities for everyone. At this moment, we are also standing at a historical crossroads, facing the huge pressure and choices brought about by career transformation.
This test not only means elimination, but also allows those who adapt to the changes of the times to find their place and become winners in the change.
01 Career change - the "wave of layoffs" has come.
Today, we are living in a time of great change, and every corner of society is undergoing unprecedented changes.
1.Manufacturing:
As the engine of China's industrialization and the pillar of the national economy, the manufacturing industry has maintained rapid development since the 90s of the 20th century.
In particular, with the further development of China's opening up, China is becoming the "world's factory", and the sales revenue of the manufacturing industry has increased from 459 billion yuan in 1990 to 98% in 20158 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 24%.
Nowadays, however, with the development of robotics and automation technology, manual labor has begun to be replaced. From Foxconn's mass layoffs, we can see the tip of the iceberg of this change. This is not just a problem for individual companies, it is a problem that the entire industry and even the whole society must face.
2.Retail:
Nowadays, the retail industry is also undergoing earth-shaking changes, because of the rise of e-commerce, self-cutting, and the impact of the epidemic, traditional retail stores have closed their doors and cannot survive in this era of Internet domination.
The commodity structure of supermarkets and stores is also being reshaped. Well-known domestic retail brands such as Gome and Suning have been hit hard by the competition. And big brand supermarkets such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour are also withdrawing step by step in China.
3.Traditional industry: With the rise of new industry, it has brought unprecedented impact to the traditional industry. The loss of traditional audiences, the decline in advertising revenue, and the diversification of content creation have made the prospects of the traditional industry worrying. Putting the work of reporters, editors and hosts at stake is even more precarious. Some time ago, the official Weibo of "EGGER" magazine has issued an announcement on the suspension of publication;We grew up seeing that the big "Fairy Tale King" magazine also stopped publication. Some people expect that the new wave will not abate, and the traditional industry may face greater difficulties and recession next year. 
4.International ** field: The wave of anti-globalization has brought a far-reaching impact on some industries. Especially in the international field, the rise of protectionist policies and the intensification of friction have made many import and export enterprises face unprecedented difficulties. On September 7, 2023, it was reported that the Taiyuan Intermediate People's Court issued a ruling, declaring Shenzhen Global Tesco e-commerce *** bankrupt. It marks that the first batch of cross-border e-commerce platforms in China have almost all gone bankrupt. The "wave of layoffs" brought about by these changes is not only the disappearance of occupations, but also the pain of social transformation. And in the face of changes in these industries, each of us can become one of them. Our relatives and friends may have been swallowed up by the "wave of layoffs", or we ourselves are facing the pressure of precarious work. Each of us could be one of them, and our family and friends could also be swallowed up by this "wave of layoffs". This is a battle about the fate of individuals, but also a change about social transformation and future development. 
02 Challenges and opportunities for individuals It is clear that this change is not confined to a certain area, to a certain group, but to make everyone face unprecedented challenges. The value of traditional skills has plummeted, and jobs that were once stable have become precarious. For those who rely on traditional skills to make a living and rely on manual livelihood, the rise of artificial intelligence and the replacement of machines are undoubtedly a disaster. In this case, some of the most challenging individuals can realize new opportunities by continuously learning new skills and starting a business, or by transforming to achieve new growth opportunities. For example, an assistant I know of who successfully changed his career to become a software engineer after being laid off and learning programming on his own, with a salary that doubled and was easier than before. There is also a friend who used to work in sales in supermarkets, after losing his job during the epidemic, he switched to e-commerce, and now he has opened an online store specializing in selling handicrafts designed by himself, and his business is getting better and better. Of course, one thing must be admitted, this is the successful case of transformation we talked about, but in fact, the transformation is not an easy task, in addition to the need to pay greater efforts than the original, time, resources are also essential, but it is clear that once the change happens, the same will only be beaten, only to adapt to the change in order to find their own position in the new era. 
03 How to cope and transform Chris once said: "Natural talent will help you move forward for a while, but it can't bless you for a lifetime." You need to be entrepreneurial, but at the same time you need experience and patience to get things done. This means that if you can't do anything, you must not only have natural talent and mental motivation, but more importantly, you must have enough experience and patience. In the face of the challenges brought about by career change, it is necessary to adopt a positive attitude and strategy to deal with them, and the specific suggestions are as follows:1Learn and upskill. Now that the cost of acquiring skills is very low, after first identifying a new industry, you can choose a course that suits you through ** education or traditional training courses. Only by getting rid of the dependence on the past and embracing new knowledge can we continuously improve our competitiveness.
2.Start saving some money nowAs we all know, everyday spending is inevitable during the transition period of transformation. So, while you still have financial income, take out a little bit and save it every month. Maybe it's okay to use it to earn interest, but the point is not to spend it. How much do you want to save?According to the experience of netizens as a freelancer in the past few years, you can basically make money after 3 months, but now because the Internet competition is too fierce, it is best to save money that can make you live for half a year, the more the merrier. 
3.Learning to sell yourself requires us to learn some advertising and marketing knowledge, because once you transform, you are a newcomer in a new field, and if you lack experience, you need to tell others about your strengths. Don't think that "the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys", in fact, the reason why those talented poor people are poor is only because they don't know how to sell themselves at all. 4.Temporarily reduce the standard of living during the transition will inevitably encounter a variety of difficulties, in this case, once the economy is limited, it is recommended to temporarily reduce the standard of living, so that you will not fall into the hardship of life. Moreover, if you can't do it at this time, you can only continue to grieve yourself and do the work you don't like. 5.Learning to Anxiety TransformationMany people feel anxious, even disoriented, and even self-denial because of resistance during the transition, in this case, it is recommended to learn to meditate, reading is also a good way to transform your anxiety, learn to learn and improve with a more confident attitude. You know, what can make you go further is often mental motivation. In addition, we also need to read more books, which can not only help us broaden our horizons and increase our knowledge. It can also improve our language expression and thinking skills. Maybe you don't like to read at this time, but for the sake of the future, as long as you persist for 6 months, you will find that you have fallen in love with it. 
In short, change, while brutal, is also full of opportunities. The key is how we face and grasp these opportunities. Is it a choice to turn a blind eye?Or is it brave to face change and create your own future with wisdom and perseverance?It's up to you. However, one of the most basic truths that must be understood is that in this world, there is no freedom if you want to be stable, and if you want to be free, you will have to go through dangers. There are only these two paths. Therefore, if we want to grasp the opportunities in the transformation, we must face the transformation head-on. Only by adapting to change and being brave in innovation can we stand firm under the pressure of the "wave of layoffs", create a stable life for ourselves and our families, and create our own stories.
