In recent years, the problem of job survival has attracted much attention, and the difficulty of college students in finding employment and the crisis in the middle-aged workplace have come early, and the reintegration of full-time mothers into the workplace has always been a problem. Once the identity of a mother leaves the workplace, it is extremely difficult for ...... to find employment again
Guo Yanjuan, the senior business manager of Yongdali Zhejiang Branch, has faced this problem, and she knows what it feels like.
After graduating from Zhejiang University in 2001, Guo Yanjuan was not limited by her major, and resolutely went to another country to find the starting point of her career. At the forefront of economic development, she has achieved extraordinary growth and training through years of hard work. During her career upswing, Guo Yanjuan applied for resignation and entered a new stage of her life, becoming a stay-at-home mother.
Eight years have passed since I became a stay-at-home mother.
After 10 years of professional experience and 8 years of life as a full-time mother, Guo Yanjuan is eager to return to the workplace and challenge herself again as her family and children gradually no longer need her to put in too much effort.
However, Bao Ma's return to the workplace faces many obstacles.
After eight years of living as a stay-at-home mother, Guo Yanjuan could no longer stand the stagnation of her career, she longed for personal growth, but had to balance her family life.
At that time, Guo Yanjuan's heart was full of sourness and anxiety. As a technologist, she has missed too much in the past eight years of stagnation, and the era of the Internet has gone from embryonic to mature. Now, not only do you have to think about whether you can meet the requirements of the new workplace, but even the skills you have acquired in the past have become much more rusty. Although she has been freed from the heavy household chores, it is not easy to completely free herself from the constraints of the family, and the options are actually very limited.
Guo Yanjuan tried several jobs, but all of them suffered setbacks. She also considered engaging in some simple self-employment, as long as she could get rid of the state of idleness, but after trying it, she found that as a newbie, she faced many difficulties, and the balance of time was also a huge challenge.
Is it doomed that restarting your career will not be realized?
However, on social platforms, Guo Yanjuan followed a college classmate who had been working in Yongdali Insurance Brokerage Company for nearly six years. He not only successfully completed his mid-life career transition, but also achieved a double harvest in his career and family.
From a friend, Guo Yanjuan got the answer: today's insurance industry has great potential and vitality, and families urgently need to obtain scientific and long-term protection through insurance policies.
After getting this information, Guo Yanjuan began to pay attention to the insurance industry, and contacted the classmate who worked at Yongdali to investigate the insurance brokerage industry. She found that the job of an insurance broker is not just about simply selling policies, but also about providing customers with professional choices and comparisons in a mature insurance market.
Yongdali is a new starting point for me to return to the workplace"Guo Yanjuan secretly made up her mind.
2. Insurance work is inclusive.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and Guo Yanjuan's insurance road begins to be even more difficult.
Her previous career background was in IT technology, with a bias towards mathematical thinking, and there were no ready-made customer resources to utilize. Add to that the fact that she is introverted, unsociable and outgoing, and to make matters worse, she doesn't know anything about insurance. However, because there was no other better option, she decided to stick with her insurance job.
Yongdali's strong training resources made Guo Yanjuan see hope. She found that Yongdali's training is a solid technical input and professional empowerment, although she is 0 foundation, but as long as you are committed to learning, you don't have to worry about not being able to keep up, it didn't take long for Guo Yanjuan to combine the new knowledge, through the newcomer course, morning meeting, special lectures all-round training support, to obtain insurance knowledge.
In the face of customers, Guo Yanjuan also quickly opened up the situation, she found that as long as the service she provided is excellent, it is not so difficult to interview strangers, and people are willing to listen to professional insurance advice, and even often have a stomach of questions waiting to be answered, which gave Guo Yanjuan, a science girl who was originally a little "social fear", brought great confidence.
In the past three years, Guo Yanjuan has gone from being afraid of dealing with people from the beginning, to her performance is getting better and better, and finally successfully reached one million members in 2023 and won a proud honor.
3. Women who dedicate themselves to their homes find their place.
As an insurance brokerage consultant of an insurance brokerage company, she sourced around many products in the market to help customers choose the best combination of protection solutions and provide follow-up services, which is to create value for customers.
After joining the insurance business, my life can be said to have changed both unchanged and completely. I say that there is no change because I still have a lot of time to take care of my family every day and continue to play the role of a good wife and mother; What has completely changed is that my life is full of new energy, no longer trapped by family, but full of purpose, challenge and fulfillment. Every day is full of sunshine, even my husband and children are infected by my positive attitude, and our family is full of positive energy.
Under such a baptism, I deeply felt that whether it is transformation or employment, the biggest challenge is actually myself. Based on maternal love, it is difficult for many women to give up their status as stay-at-home mothers, but if they are bound by the family for too long, they will have a sense of strangeness to society and a subconscious fear of workplace challenges. To get out of this state, you first need to find a platform and like-minded partners that work for you, and at the same time overcome your inner fears and limitations. As long as you are brave enough to find yourself, you will definitely be able to see a new dawn in your career.
Nowadays, the return of stay-at-home mothers to the workplace has become a common problem, and the flexible and free working model, strong training support, positive team atmosphere and partner-like entrepreneurial support mechanism provided new possibilities for women's career success.
I hope that more women who enjoy the warmth of their families can be like me, bravely step out of the hesitation and fear, return to the workplace stage, and become a professional strong woman who has attracted much attention and cheers.
