Kai-Fu Li suggested that college students should not take money too seriously during job hunting

"Opportunities are far more important than stability, career is far more important than money, and the future is far more important than today ". Last weekend, Lee Kai-Fu, president of Google (Google) China, gave a tour speech at Zhejiang University of Technology, Zhejiang University for Industry and Commerce, Hangzhou University of electronic science and technology, and other schools, he described the future network technology to College Students in Hangzhou. The successful professional manager told students about the unprecedented employment pressure on college students that "employment first and career selection. "

First Employment and then Career Selection

"Dr. Li, from Microsoft employees to Google leaders, why did you make such a choice ?" This was the first question that students threw out to Dr. Li at the presentation at Zhejiang Industrial and Commercial University.

Kai-Fu Li replied that when he first opened up Microsoft's Chinese market, he once thought he had found a direction and had a great job.

"However, as I moved back to the United States, I found that I was just a part of the machine. At that time, my passion gradually faded. So I thought I should accept another challenge. In Google's creative team, I saw the value of creativity and the power of youth. It was a miracle that 20 people spent six months designing brand-new technologies. I am also proud of my choice ." He said.

From his own experiences, Dr. Li warned the students that employment and career selection are two concepts. For young people who are about to leave college, do not rush to pay attention to the salary, how long they will be able to get a job, and so on.

"The first job is really important, but it doesn't mean you have to do it for a lifetime. On average, it should be normal to change work for four or five times in a lifetime in the 21st century ." He said.

Do not take money too seriously during job search

"Opportunities are far more important than stability. Career is far more important than money. The future is far more important than today ."

He suggested that college students should consider the conditions, talent, interest, and study comprehensively when looking for a job. The first job is the most important thing to learn. Never stop learning during job search.

"Because the training provided by the school cannot help you get on the road right away at work. You should find a company that can learn more about technology and knowledge after you get started ." He said.

He believes that college students should first inquire about whether the company supports employee learning, or whether it will only squeeze the labor of employees. Does the company provide good training.

"Never take money too seriously ." He said that sometimes a job may not provide you with a high salary, but if you can learn something in this position and add "nutrition" to you in every aspect of your work, you should not give up, even the most basic entry-level work.

Dr. Li also stressed that it is important to pick a good boss.

Is it a good learning model to see if you apply for a company's boss? How is his attitude and character in life? It is best to find a company that attaches importance to your professional knowledge. For example, if you do financial work, it is best to enter an investment bank; if you do technical work, it is best to enter a Technical Company. Of course, there is a fundamental question that must be considered: You need to ask yourself if you are interested in this profession.

A student asked: "Could you tell me, Dr. Li, you are now a successful person and surrounded by Halo. But have you ever been confused during your growth ?"

"I have also encountered this problem during the confusion period ." Kai-Fu Li replied, "if you find a solution to the problem in confusion, you will find that confusion will become the driving force for your growth ."
