"When looking for a job, don't pick and choose", Professor Zheng Qiang poked at the minds of CUHK students
In the current society, many college students have expressed their dissatisfaction with the pressure of social competition and complained that they could not find their ideal jobs. The society generally advocates late marriage and late childbearing, but young people are reluctant to enter the stage of marriage and childbirth due to insufficient income and heavy pressure on life. Although finding a satisfying job is not an easy task, many positions do not meet the expectations of college students.
In fact, there are many college students who are not unable to find a job. There are still many jobs in society that do not have a threshold, such as moving on construction sites, janitorial security, etc., and these jobs can even be performed by high school students. However, college students shy away from these positions that require manual labor, because they believe that as intellectuals with a long education, they should have a higher level of work and income.
Recently, Professor Zheng Qiang made a public speech at a conference, pointing out that while modern young people pursue their ideals, they are also facing the pressure of basic life. He shared the experience of a college student who vented his job search difficulties online and blamed his parents for his predicament. Professor Cheng believes that even if the parents are more able, the children should make ends meet through light work. In response, he criticized the student and said that this was not a normal state of mind. However, this remark caused dissatisfaction among netizens, who believed that Professor Zheng could not understand the situation of ordinary people because he had achieved a high status.
Standing on a high vantage point to evaluate those young people who have nothing, in fact, do not understand the hardships of modern young people. Therefore, many netizens felt incomprehensible to Professor Zheng Qiang's remarks, and they still insisted on their work and continued to complain about life. Subsequently, Professor Zheng Qiang also expressed his views.
He believes that modern young people should have a positive attitude towards life, and if they want to own an RV, they must achieve it through their own efforts. In this world, just talking about ideals without making practical plans, always pushing everything into the future, will only lead to a narrow vision of life. He also mentioned that modern young people are too anxious and pay too much attention to the luxurious life of some rich second generations on the Internet.
Indeed, the times are developing rapidly, and many people learn about the lives of different social classes through short **, and we are also used to seeing many people living happy lives, taking it for granted that this is a goal to pursue. However, we often overlook the gap with others. There are people in this world who live in abundance, and there are people who are born without parents and wander around in order to make a living.
Secondly, when looking for a job, don't be selective. Many people only see the lives of the rich and forget that there are still poor people in society. Professor Zheng Qiang hopes that young people can be more pragmatic and not be confused by the luxurious life on the Internet. He offered some advice that the root cause of many young people not being able to find a job is that they are always unrealistically looking for better opportunities.
In particular, some college students often take advantage of their academic qualifications and treat many jobs arrogantly. In fact, many jobs focus more on individual abilities than just academic qualifications. If there is a mismatch between ability and demand, then academic qualifications alone will not be able to gain a long-term foothold. Finding your niche is crucial, especially at this watershed moment when you graduate, and you first need to find a job that will make ends meet.
Nowadays, many young people tend to spend in advance, and they have already advanced the next month's salary before they get one month's salary. Sometimes, they also need some monthly allowance from their parents to be able to barely cope with the stresses of life. Most students, in order to satisfy their vanity, are accustomed to letting the outside world see that they are doing well. However, the longer this life passes, the easier it is for them to take it for granted.
When looking for a job, you should avoid being picky. While jobs are a two-way street, most jobs don't start with a high starting salary, and unless you're super capable of attracting employers, you'll usually start out with a low monthly salary. With the passage of time and the improvement of capabilities, it can gradually be recognized by the company.
In general: you need to be worth your worth so that the employer will increase the salary package and you will be eligible to negotiate better terms with your boss. We should not rely too much on our parents as they will always grow old and we need to learn to cope with life independently. Even if students from well-off families can start their own businesses in advance with the support of their parents, no matter which path they choose, they will face various difficulties and challenges. Young people should not lie down lightly, but should struggle for a while before thinking about the future.
