Guangxi News Network Nanning, August 11 (Reporter Wei Xingwen, Luo Shanshan, Interns Yang Qianqian, Pang Shuqing, Li Xuanran) The young people of today's era live in a diverse and opportunity-filled society. Compared with the previous generation of young people, they seem to have more ideas about their work and future development. Therefore, frequent job-changing has become a unique label for young people. According to the "2018 Urban Mobility Trend Insights for Young Workers" released by LinkedIn, the average working time of a worker in the first job showed a trend of significantly decreasing with generations. The first job of a post-70s generation took an average of more than 4 years to change, the post-80s generation was 3 and a half years, while the post-90s generation decreased to 19 months, and the post-95s generation chose to resign after only 7 months of working.
So, why are more and more young people frequently changing jobs now? Was it a moment of impulse or to endure it to the limit? Is it influenced by friends around you or is it trended by the social environment? Is it because of poor salary or has you found your true interest? What do these young people who frequently change jobs think? Have they ever regretted frequent job-changing... Recently, the topic of #Why do young people always change jobs# has been on the hot search list on Weibo, causing discussion among many netizens. Today, let’s go to the “Flash Quotes” and learn about the real reasons behind their frequent job-hopping.
Those young people who frequently change jobs What's going on now?
"I was in 1994. I graduated for 4 years and changed 5 jobs. The longest one was only one year, and the shortest one was about three months. After graduation, I stayed in Guangzhou for a while and returned to work in Nanning last year. The current job has a lot of overtime, but it has not been reflected in salary, so I am very distressed and still have the idea of changing jobs." Ms. Huang, a citizen who works in planning and copywriting, was worried when she talked about work. "Because of the company environment, communication between colleagues, too much overtime, poor welfare benefits, etc., I always have the idea of changing jobs, so I became more confused and I don't know what I want."
has been graduating for 2 years and is engaged in design industry. Mr. Lin, a citizen who has also changed jobs, has a similar mood with Ms. Huang: "Maybe it was because she did not make a good career plan when she first graduated, which led to her lack of direction for her career development. I don't know if she should continue to work in this industry or change to an industry that is more suitable for me to develop." Mr. Wu, a citizen who works as a promotion and delivery worker, finally found a relatively satisfactory job after going around in circles. "I have been working in this job for 7 months now, and I am quite satisfied. I don't feel too much pressure. The atmosphere between my colleagues is harmonious, which is better than the companies I have been to before." Mr. Wu told reporters that he believes that the more I jump, I will make such a choice, otherwise I will just be wasting my own time.
According to the "Guangxi Talent Supply and Demand Analysis Report for the Second Quarter of 2021" released by Guangxi Talent Network, in the second quarter of 2021, the number of job seekers through Guangxi Talent Network was 379,976, an increase of 9.03% compared with the same period last year; the total talent supply and demand ratio was 2.54 (i.e. when the number of talent demand or number of positions is 1, the number of talent supply or job seekers is 2.54, the same below), an increase of 0.62 from 1.92 in the same period last year and 0.50 from 2.05 in the previous quarter, and employment pressure increased.
There are many reasons behind frequent job changes. Do they regret it?
"There are regrets and some people feel grateful. The feeling of each job is different. For example, I felt very depressed when I was in the previous job, because I was in a company, so there were many competitive relationships. Everyone was fighting openly and secretly. After changing jobs, I was glad that I left early, but I also regretted that my current job salary is not as good as my previous job." Ms. Huang told reporters.
Mr. Chen, a citizen who has just resigned from his previous company, said he did not regret it when talking about changing jobs. "After resigning from the previous company, I felt relaxed. I had a similar feeling when I left the company because it was because the company was bad or I didn't like it or did not adapt to some of the company's practices.Although I will also have some anxiety about my future job, I have never regretted my resignation or job change. "Mr. Chen said. Mr. Li, a citizen who has just started a new job, not only changed his job, but also changed his industry. He said: "I can't love the original job at all. I have tried changing companies but found that the situation is even worse. I actually like to study some software things. Later, after working in the previous industry for nearly two years, I made up my mind to decide to change the industry. Of course, I made a lot of efforts in the early stage, learning knowledge in the software industry, understanding industry trends, etc., and only after I had a certain amount of ability to apply for a resume and look for a job. Although I started later than others, I still have a lot of things to learn about this industry, but I did not regret making this choice. I think it is really important to find a position I like and suit me. "
Faced with the phenomenon of young people frequently changing jobs, Gui Lifei, an instructor of the employment and entrepreneurship of Guangxi talent market, analyzed that the reasons why young people frequently change jobs are mainly divided into two aspects: subjective and objective.
subjective reasons can be roughly divided into three situations. The first is that they have not found their own position and have not made a good assessment of themselves and their employment competitiveness. That is, after joining the job, they find that there is a certain difference between their position and their expectations, so they think that they cannot see hope, and hope to change the status quo through job change; the second is that they have not made good career planning, and only after joining the job find that they are not suitable for the position. At this time, When you change jobs, you can only change your career by changing jobs to find a job that suits you more; the third is that some contemporary young people lack the ability to solve problems, such as having a bad relationship with their superiors, and there are some contradictions. When such a situation occurs, these young people's first idea is to solve the problem by changing jobs, and they like to avoid and avoid problems, rather than wanting to communicate and seek better solutions. These are the three common subjective reasons that can cause young people to frequently change jobs.
objective reasons refer to some force majeure factors, such as changes in the employment environment, etc.
What are the pros and cons of frequent job-hopping How should we view
Mr. Lu, a citizen, believes that frequent job changes are more harmful than good. He said: "I personally don't recommend frequent job changes. Frequent job-changing actually means not having a good personal career plan. Because it takes at least one year to understand an industry or a company. If you don’t go deep into the company and position you are in and want to give up on changing jobs due to some factors, then in the end you will find that you have not learned anything, so I think frequent job changes are more harmful than good. "
Citizen Mr. Wu and Mr. Lu have completely opposite ideas. He believes that frequent job-changing benefits outweigh the disadvantages. "If the current job is not suitable, why not jump if there are better opportunities and opportunities? Job change can help you learn more skills, and you can also experience more and grow more. You will show your increasingly mature side at work. "
So, does frequent job jumping have more disadvantages than benefits or advantages than disadvantages? Ke Lifei said that first of all, job jumping can be divided into two categories: horizontal jumping and vertical jumping. Horizontal jumping refers to horizontal jumping, from one unit to another, and your position and level do not change; vertical jumping refers to the higher the jump, and you can get a level promotion. "We usually recommend that young people choose vertical jumping when they change jobs. Through the next work experience, they can improve their abilities and give themselves the ability to better grasp higher-level platforms. "Ke Lifei said that whether frequent job-changing is more beneficial than disadvantages or disadvantages than advantages depends on whether the next unit that jumps to the job-changing has more opportunities, higher platforms, higher positions, and better opportunities than the original unit. It can help personal growth and professional ability, and of course also include the improvement of salary and benefits. If all these conditions can be met, such job-changing is more beneficial than disadvantages; but if you always jump left and horizontally on a platform similar to the previous one, you cannot achieve the accumulation and precipitation of personal professional growth, and cannot achieve the improvement of personal quantitative change to qualitative change, such frequent job-changing is more harmful than beneficial.
Should young people frequently change jobs? Look at these suggestions
For young people who frequently change jobs, Ke Lifei also gave her own suggestions.
She advises that young people should not be impulsive when they encounter problems and difficulties at work, and should not just think about solving them by resigning. They should find ways to communicate and solve problems; secondly, they should establish a good attitude, adjust their emotions, and make a relatively systematic plan for their career. Even if you really want to change jobs, you must plan well and follow the goals. For example, what industry is the next job? In which city? What is the expected salary? The requirements for business trip frequency... Only by considering these clearly can we find new jobs in a targeted manner. Again, avoid being a "naked traitor".
"The 'naked quit' is actually a group of people who have not thought about what they want at all, but they decided to resign because they are very willful and impulsive. They ignore the problem of quitting naked and not quitting naked." Ke Lifei said based on some of the "naked quits" that they have tracked before that the obstacles they encounter in their subsequent employment are relatively large, so they generally recommend that young people find a new job before resigning, and not quit naked.
Ke Lifei said: "I suggest that young people's mentality at work should be more important to maintain a momentum, improve their ability to withstand stress, and improve their innovative thinking ability. Don't immediately want to solve it by changing jobs when encountering external pressure. Doing so may cause yourself to face a very passive situation in the future. Young people should be proactive, have the courage to break through, break through the ceiling of the workplace, and take the initiative in the workplace, so that their career can move towards a higher level platform."
