18 Laws of Job Hunting That Will Help You Succeed

1. One must have an independent personality and independent thoughts.

A person who insists on a wrong view after independent thinking is more worthy of affirmation than a person who accepts the right view without hesitation. Do not become a victim of indoctrination education.

2. Political career, business, academia. In general, everyone is destined to take one of these three paths.

When planning your career, it might be helpful to use this as a starting point for consideration. Shape core competitiveness according to different career plans. Only when you know what you want to do in the future can you know what you should learn.

3. There are no hot or cold majors, no high or low schools.

No employer will think that you represent your school or major. Don't be complacent just because you are from a prestigious university or a popular major, nor do you need to feel inferior because your school is not good or your major is unpopular.

4. Knowing a thousand tricks is not as good as mastering one.

Ten tens percent does not equal one hundred percent, but zero. If you have ten jobs and each you can do ten percent, then, in the eyes of the employer, you can do nothing. Therefore, you must possess core competitiveness. "Generalist" only makes sense on the basis of "specialist".

5. A student who never skips class is not a good student.

Not skipping any classes is similar to skipping all of them. You must take control of learning actively and not be led by the nose by teachers like in middle school. Skipping class is not wrong, but don't skip the wrong class. At the same time, you should both skip class and get high scores from teachers.

6. You must learn financial management.

For students in poverty, the first thing to do is not to make money, but to save money. Many college students spend lavishly while studying, but after graduation, a month's salary may not even cover half a month's rent.

7. Most girls use computers as DVD players, most boys use them as gaming consoles.

College students need to master necessary computer operation skills, but often times computers become a legitimate excuse for wasting time. There are many college students with computers, but among them, many may still not know how to use Excel or create a decent PPT by the time they graduate.

8. Doing things is not as important as being a good person, and networking determines success or failure.

How much money a person has doesn't refer to how much they own, but rather how much they can use. The amount of capability a person possesses isn't just about what they can do alone, but also includes what they can achieve through others. 12.5% of a person's income comes from their own knowledge, while 87.5% comes from networking relationships. Before thirty, earn money based on expertise; after thirty, earn money based on networking. So, please cherish the networking relationships built during your university years. The friends you meet these years could be your most valuable wealth after graduation.

9. The Internet is indeed powerful, but if you are addicted to online chatting or online games, the lost money can be compensated, but the wasted youth cannot be retrieved.

For many college students, internet cafes are like bloody black holes.

10. Love comes unexpectedly, it can be anticipated, but not fabricated. Pick the flowers when they are in full bloom, do not let the flowers wither on the branch.

A person with ten thousand dollars spending one hundred dollars on you means you only take up one percent of his money; whereas a person with only ten dollars spending all ten dollars on you means you have become his everything.

11. The speed of expansion for graduate school enrollment is 30%, which means the devaluation speed of a master's degree is 30%.

Don't assume that going to graduate school is a sign of positive progress. For many people, taking the postgraduate entrance examination is just a way of negative escape. For the majority, pursuing a master's degree is purely a waste of time and money, except for those few dedicated to scientific research and academics.

12. Don't solely focus on going abroad, and don't blindly believe that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than in China.

Striving hard to memorize GRE vocabulary may be a very foolish and sad thing. Since companies worldwide are coming to the Chinese market to carve up the pie, why do Chinese people insist on going abroad for study and then working for foreigners?

13. The job market is like a minefield.

There is nothing wrong with seeking jobs in multiple ways, but you should not be desperate. As long as the employer asks you to pay money, turn around and leave immediately.

14. Your job application resume must highlight your core competitiveness.

When job hunting, there is no need to be as straightforward as Yan Shouyi ("saying exactly what is"). It is sometimes very useful to tell appropriate lies when necessary. A job application resume needs only a table made on an A4 paper. Many female resumes look like photo albums, which not only waste money but are also useless for job hunting. Interviews actually follow certain patterns, so every time you go for an interview, you just need to recite the standard answers...

15. Trash is talent placed in the wrong position.

Therefore, when looking for a job, you must place yourself in the position that makes you a talent rather than trash. Of course, the premise is that you know what you really want to do and what you are suitable for.

16. Large companies are about interpersonal relationships, small companies are about getting things done.

After entering a company, you must quickly integrate into the office politics. Whether employees can get promoted depends largely not on whether they work hard, but on how much the boss appreciates them. In office political struggles, you must learn to protect yourself.

17. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Boldness leads to riches, timidity leads to poverty.

You must have the courage and determination to start a business. If you always satisfy yourself with working for others, then no matter how high your salary is, you will forever be a pitiful poor man. Even with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, in places like Shenzhen or Shanghai, your annual savings won't even buy a small bathroom.

18. During college, you must go to the library and self-study room more often.

Many books you don't read now will never have another chance to be read in your life. Although not every book you read will definitely be useful, because you don't know which book will be useful in the future, you should read more books and discard overly utilitarian thoughts. Even though you catch fish with only one mesh of the net each time, to catch fish, you must weave a net.
