A job you don't like may lead to a new world.

A job you don't like may lead to a new world.

This world is linked together. Every task you don't like may be the door to another world open to you. Only by walking in and constantly discovering new things can you really know whether you like this job or not.

I often receive emails from my young colleagues, telling me that I do not like my work and that the work I am doing is meaningless. This is something I can understand. All the new students think that way. When you choose to work, you must be very concerned about what company you will go to and which department you will go to. In your mind, you will go to promising Department A, and you will never go to boring department B.

But what I want to say is that it is meaningless to judge what job has prospects based on my resume and experience at the time of graduation. For example, if a child of a few months old wants to catch colorful toys on the surface, rather than a rough yarn. Every year, I receive a lot of business plans from new students, but they think that the hot spots and prospects are on paper, they are all influenced by the so-called professional business blogs and the PR soft texts of various companies, but little is known about this industry.

Just as we stood on the edge of a water lake, there was a rotten fish and prawns, or coral jewelry under it. We couldn't see clearly. Only the water in the water was muddy, and one of them went down, only then can you know what the situation is, and the potential will become open-minded after a long time.

If you graduated from a computer Major, unless the company has arranged for you to clean the toilet, this is especially unreasonable. Otherwise, I suggest you do not come to conclusions based on the value of your favorite job.

In our company, programmers should first Perform Product tests, and product personnel should first perform customer service and operation. Some young colleagues have a lot of opinions and feel that the company is not looking down on me. How can I do such a low-end job?

Some companies have some bad habits. core technical staff often look down on pre-sales and after-sales services, while product staff look down on technical support and operations. In fact, where are the high-end and low-end jobs? As long as you can dive in, you can find a useful place. When I went to college, I started my own business with anti-virus cards. I was both a technician and a product manager. After I made the cards, I sold them with my own bags. Naturally, it was pre-sales. It was hard to persuade people to buy it. When something went wrong, they called me a bad joke and I made another after-sales service. At the beginning, I was also angry. I was also a proud child of 1990s. I made such a good anti-virus card and won the second prize of the National Challenge Cup. Why do I stand here to scold you? However, if the user has spent money to buy things and fails to achieve the goal, or is uncomfortable with it, the user has the right to scold you. In this process, I found the importance of user experience. Users will not look at the problem from the perspective of one of your technical staff, but if you don't look at the problem from the perspective of users, there is definitely no place to survive. This experience is a huge change in my life.

Why should the product manager go to customer service and operations first? The reason is very simple. Do you really think that the product is to close the door and build a car in the hut, draw a few lines, and put a few buttons on it? If we make products so simple, everyone on the Internet in China will be a product manager. You said that you like to make products and think that there are prospects for doing products. If you do not like customer service and operation, can you make a good product? Only by first performing customer service and operation can we understand the user's distress, the user's anger, and the reason that the user scolded you. Only in this way can we make good products.

Besides, it seems that there are no prospective departments. It seems that no one is willing to do the tasks. Is there really no value? I will not tell the story of Steve Jobs's art font class. The story is broken. My own experience. After graduation, I went to work in a big computer company. The leaders gave me a task to tell a state agency what the LAN email was like. At that time, no one of the company's technical staff was willing to go and thought it was a low-end job. I just arrived. As a result, we pushed it to me. I don't like this task either, but I have no choice but to stick to it. However, I think that since I have given lectures, I must be prepared. I Can't confuse myself for two hours. It would be too irresponsible to read the instructions once and even finish the work. As a result, I bought a lot of books about email. After reading the books, I found that the original email was so important. The deeper I got in the email, the idea of email has also been thoroughly changed. In early 1996, if I didn't have a task that I didn't like, I wouldn't do Feiyang email. If I didn't do Feiyang email, I didn't have the opportunity to get to know the internet.

This world is linked together. Every task you don't like may be the door to another world open to you. Only by walking in and constantly discovering new things can you really know whether you like this job or not. I suggest you think about your current job and forget whether you like it or not. I do not like some jobs so far, but I cannot rule out that I can do it to the extreme. I can do something I don't like very well. The reason is that I always think that I am very good. Even if I don't like a job, I want to make it very beautiful, prove to others that I am better than them. In the process of achieving the ultimate in my work, I did actually learn something.

A Japanese entrepreneur wrote a book called "Blunt feeling". The book says that the new generation of young people in Japan are very sensitive, have a little criticism, have a little conflict, and have a little emotional changes, which can lead to their dramatic choices. He believes that when people are young, they should still be dull, make their hearts rough, and be able to bear all kinds of exercises and pains, so that they can accumulate more. I think this is correct. You can choose to live rashly when you are young, but if you are not young enough to lay a foundation, why in China, where the environment is becoming more and more complex, the competition is getting more and more intense, and the CPI is getting higher and higher?

There is an old saying in China that people cannot choose from their origins. You are born in an ordinary family. You cannot choose this option, but you can choose the path. Work in a company is an experience of life. It may not be your lifelong career or your favorite thing. The most important achievement is your attitude towards doing things, your way of doing things. A good way of doing things and attitude will not only produce good performance, but also win the trust of leaders, colleagues, and industry colleagues. This is a more valuable fortune. This is my most profound experience. If you think you are very smart, I hope you will be able to make unremitting efforts. I have been searching for the next-generation core product technology and management talents in our post-80s and post-90s. I hope you can be that person!
