What do you think the iron rice bowl looks like?
I recently realized:
The iron rice bowl is not to eat in one place for a lifetime, but to go anywhere in this life to eat.
In the traditional concept, the "iron rice bowl" has always been regarded as a stable and long-term job security. But as the market environment continues to change, this concept is also quietly changing.
This concept is no longer applicable in today's rapidly changing market environment, and since last year, there has been a wave of unemployment around the world, and there have been reports of teacher withdrawals, layoffs in state-owned enterprises, and reduction of civil servants in many provinces and cities across the country.
Some people can be re-employed quickly, while others have to find other ways. At this time, personal ability, adaptability and skill boundaries are key, and each skill you have will give you more choices and gain more advantages in professional competition.
At present, how many people have quietly started a side hustle or part-time job, many of them are within the system and corporate executives, and these excellent people are often the first to act.
In the past, I regarded working in one company or one company for a long time until retirement as a career success.
Recently, I suddenly realized that the iron rice bowl is no longer about living in a stable unit, but can maintain its own value and market competitiveness no matter where you are.
Take myself as an example, ten years ago, I returned to my hometown, listened to my parents' advice, and worked as a supernumerary in a unit for the so-called "stability", and this trip was ten years.
Last year, I gradually realized that this kind of work not only consumes my time, but also sharpens my fighting spirit. At the best of years, I actually took it to lie flat, unforgivable......
After I woke up, I wanted to change jobs, and then I realized that I didn't seem to have any skills that I could use, and my competitiveness in the current workplace was almost zero.
And in my own job, no matter how good I do, that's it, and I can see the end of my future work and life at a glance, which makes me quite desperate.
At this time, I realized a truth, the so-called "iron rice bowl" does not exist (of course, the staff is still quite fragrant in my small county).
The iron rice bowl is not to eat in one place for a lifetime, but to go anywhere in this life to eat. It's the individual's ability that counts.
Yesterday, I watched the episode of the documentary "Thirteen Invitations" about Mr. Mu Zhongzhong, which touched me a lot.
After he was sentenced to prison that year, he actually relied on martial arts ** to gain a firm foothold in prison, mixed a bite of food, and lived a very nourishing life. (At that time, when the first goal of the newcomer was not to be beaten, he was able to eat enough).
Sure enough, no matter where they go and no matter what environment they are in, successful people can use their personal abilities to create value and make profits.
Here's a little thought about Acan's personal career development:
The key to one's career development is no longer "how long to stay in the company", but to be a long-termist and "constantly improve one's self-worth" through work. Emphasis on personal value-added: Self-improvement is the only norm.
In the current competition in the workplace, the only constant rule is self-improvement. The improvement of skills, the iteration of knowledge, and the shaping of personal brand have become the necessary qualities of modern professionals. We must continue to learn, adapt to new challenges and environments, and always maintain our personal competitiveness. Workplace survival rules: the fittest survive, and the changers win.
In this era of rapid development, only people who are constantly adapting to change can gain a foothold in the workplace. This requires us not only to be able to do the job at hand, but also to have the foresight to learn, innovate and adapt. For example, if you can quickly learn and apply AI to work or personal development, this is your competitiveness.
How to create an iron rice bowl in the new era?
Continuous Learning:Keep updating your knowledge base and skills, whether it's through courses, professional training or self-study, and if you have a specialty or special skill, invest your time and energy in making it your signature.
Broaden the boundaries of your skills:In our spare time, we can learn a skill to improve our adaptability, for example, I am a friend who works in a state-owned enterprise, teaches myself photography, and takes appointments during holidays to start at 699. (Ah Chan has no special skills, and he starts to learn from writing and self-**.) ）
Personal Branding:Now is the era of self-esteem, through *** Douyin, Xiaohongshu and other self-esteem platforms, boldly show yourself, build and maintain your personal brand. (What if the fortune comes to you?) If you take action. ）
Be a long-termist:Be curious and open-minded, always be interested in new knowledge and techniques, and even if you don't learn it in the end, at least you're a little better than someone who doesn't know anything, isn't it?
In this era of unpredictability, each of us needs to redefine our "iron rice bowl". It is not simply looking for a stable job, but constantly improving oneself, practicing a solid basic skills, and ensuring that no matter how you go, you can maintain competitiveness with your ability and knowledge.
Such an iron rice bowl can really bring us a sense of security.
So, have you found your own "iron rice bowl"?
