It’s been a long time since I’ve updated. Not only because I’ve just changed my job and I’m busy, but also because I’m in a bad state.

I know that if I am not in good condition, I will not be able to write good articles.

I don’t want to convey this state to readers, so I haven’t updated the article for the time being.

In fact, I am still lazy at the end of the day, and I haven’t written the summary for November until now.

I told myself several times that I should write quickly, but in the end I lost to laziness.

I was having dinner with my colleagues in the evening, and I, who likes to be a teacher, began to think about my recent career change experience.

After all, I saw that the other party was still a fresh young man who had just graduated two years ago, so I thought that I might be able to give him a warning and save him from taking some detours.

So, I used personal experience to tell him that if you want to change jobs or change careers, once you have this idea, don't delay and act immediately.

Of course, this action does not mean that you should immediately resign naked and look for the next company, because this is simply like slow suicide in disguise.

But after you have an idea, make preparations quickly.

Take a look at what knowledge you need to learn, what skills are required for the position you want to change to, and in the following days, learn the skills required for the new job, so as to achieve a gorgeous turn.

After all, I am a person who has just come out of the ivory tower, so I always have to ask, is money or experience more important? I still answer as always, it must be experience, and I have also come through this, but I took the wrong path at the beginning.

I don't deny that money is important. My family situation is not good, so I would like to earn money to support my family after graduation.

But then I chose to improve my experience instead of choosing a job with a higher salary.

When I couldn't find a job, I was urged by my family to work in a factory.

At that age when you don’t know what kind of job you want to do, you just have to make do with it.

Because I know that I have to support myself after graduation, and I can no longer ask for money from my family.

However, when I was about to make ends meet, I also thought that I would seek development after surviving, and that I would switch careers to do the things I like after I had saved enough money.

Take this time to think about what kind of job you want to do.

So, after working for two years, I realized that I had to get out as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, after staying in a familiar environment for a long time, you gradually become more and more lazy to move.

I also thought about changing jobs and leaving, but I always felt that I was not ready and did not have the courage to take the first step.

While working, I also thought about preparing for job-hopping, but I always felt that there was still a lot of time.

There is no sense of urgency at all, and I keep comforting myself by saying that it seems to be okay now, and it may not be better to jump out, so I'd better wait.

This state lasted for a long time, and I felt ashamed of my cowardice.

After consulting with many career planners, I finally determined that I pursue a sense of security too much, and when the external sense of security does not meet my expectations, I will be like a frog boiling in warm water, without enough motivation to support myself to jump out.

Once you feel enough pain, you will bravely jump out.

In the final analysis, it is because we pursue a sense of security too much. Just like a tortoise, if the outside world is slightly uncertain, it will make itself shrink back and hide in the tortoise shell, afraid to come out.

And this is something I still regret. Therefore, I want to speak out and don’t want more people to take the detour I took.

However, everyone's situation is different.

After all, there are probably not many people who can stay in a company for nearly 5 years like me.

So, after you have the idea of ????changing jobs, what should you do so that you can jump out well and avoid "die" in an ugly way?

First of all, money is definitely important.

When you decide to change jobs, you must prepare more than 6 months of living expenses to ensure that when you are looking for a job, you will not give in to reality and choose to return to your hometown due to financial pressure.

Of course, if you are confident, you can reduce the amount, depending on your personal circumstances.

And this money can be saved as soon as you have income. In the words of Douban guru San Gongzi, this is a fund for "firing the boss."

With this money, you will be more confident to implement this plan.

Secondly, do research for the position you want to change jobs for.

You can go to recruitment websites from time to time to update your resume and start browsing for positions that interest you.

You can check the recruitment website to see what the recruitment company's requirements are for the position, and whether you already have some of the conditions, or what skills you currently have that can be transferred there. If not, start learning from now on.

You can go to some expert websites to see what the people in the position you are interested in usually do, and whether you would be repelled by these contents.

You can also check it on Zhihu and Daixing platforms, so this problem is not big.

The most important thing is to take action and don’t delay.

Finally, it’s just a matter of hanging out in circles.

It is also the learning mentioned above. You can participate in some training camps appropriately and get to know some people in the industry.

In this way, you may even meet someone who offers you a job opportunity.

Even if not, making a few like-minded friends may be able to help you when you actually change careers.

It seems a bit utilitarian to say this, but of course, you must treat the other party sincerely.
