When Interest Is Strangled By Occupation, Where Do We Go From Here?

They say, "interest is the best."

Encounter trouble on the same level

Gao Ting was only 23 years old, dressed up and full of energy, but after sitting down, he couldn't stop sighing.

Before I could speak, she began a series of anxieties.

Gao Ting is a secretary college at school. After graduating from college for more than two years, she has changed four companies. She says that every job is not satisfactory, and it is not her interest.

"I made a mistake when I majored in the college entrance examination.

My parents think that girls should do light work.

I was mediocre at that time and I didn't think much about what to learn.

But now I regret it. I'm not interested in this major. "

Her loss of secretary major came from her.

She went to a trade company as an office secretary.

Gao Ting thinks this work is more commercialized, perhaps more interesting.

I didn't expect to work for several months, and I felt almost the same as my first job, which made her lose interest in secretarial work.

"My ideal is to do a job that embody personal value and is worth striving for.

Only by working in accordance with their own interests can we bring these values to prove the value of our existence and create and develop continuously and passionately.

Gao Ting particularly envied the commercial women who had been flying around in professional clothes and laptop computers all day long, eager to become such people.

"I think maybe I am suitable for sales? I am outgoing and like dealing with people.

And sales are very workout. If done well, it is the first step to success. "

After working hard, Gao Ting finally became a sales representative in a marketing company.

In this company's sales business, there are quite a lot of content that needs to be accumulated through telephone sales, especially for novice.

At the beginning of the one or two week, Gao Ting felt very interesting, but for a long time, she felt dryness and tremendous pressure day after day.

"I get into a lot of phone calls every day and repeat the same words in the same words.

Moreover, sales may be faced with a refusal from customers, and a great deal of courage must be summoned before making a phone call.

It's really uncomfortable. "

At that time, every morning, when Gao Ting opened her eyes, she would think of the despondent feelings of rejection and the sales tasks that had accumulated so much that she didn't have the courage to get up at all.

After several days in a row, Gao Ting once again offered to resign.

Her reason is: a job that can't even get up on time is definitely not suitable for oneself, not for one's own interests.

Gao Ting later pondered that he should first master a technology and then develop it into the commercial field.

She spent four months in the MCSE certification (Microsoft certification system engineer), and then through relatives introduced into the local Mobile Corporation to do computer maintenance personnel.

The computer room is not busy, you can learn a lot of computer expertise.

But Gao Ting still dissatisfied, because in the computer room to maintain the machine, usually contact four or five people, plus shift work, usually only her one day to work, and few opportunities to communicate with others, a few months down, Gao Ting feel very depressed.

"I was quite outgoing, but now I'm not going to talk to anyone any more.

If I go on like this, I worry that I will have problems with communication.

It's been more than two years since I graduated, and I haven't made any progress at all.

I don't want to spend a lifetime in plain life. I have tried so much work that I have no interest in.

I hope you can tell me what my interest is.

It can be seen from Gao Ting's confusing that she has changed four jobs over the past two years, and there is no logic between every job. This is because when job dissatisfaction occurs, Gao Ting always attributes the problem to being uninterested in a particular job.

She uses change work to solve the pressure encountered, resulting in pressure can not be relieved, but on the same level of repeated problems encountered repeatedly.

Gao Ting's "trouble", such as the trivial work of secretary, the pressure of salesmen, and the boring work of technology, made her lose interest at the beginning of her work.

As far as I know, the above "worry" is determined by the characteristics of various tasks. When she accepts work, she must be prepared to meet the corresponding challenges.

"Interest can really bring happiness and strong driving force to people at work, but in addition to interest, we should also consider whether individuals have basic professional qualities, such as character matching and whether they have developed corresponding abilities." I saw Gao Ting lying on the warm bed of interest and wanted to wake her up.

Gao Ting thought for a moment: "I still think that interest is the most important thing. As long as I am interested, it is worth my efforts to pay."

"But how can you find your interest if you don't give it all up?"

Gao Ting burst into silence.

"A job can only be interesting if you really understand and are competent.

But at the beginning, every job needs to make considerable efforts to overcome difficulties.

In this process, we can understand what aspects of it really attract us.

No job is perfect. In fact, trivial work can be ironed through efficient management. The pressure of performance can increase the joy of signing the bill, but the beauty of artistic creation can be nurtured by the dull technology.

We sometimes overemphasize interest, but forget to cultivate the most basic qualities of a professional person, such as patience, care and diligence.

Everyone will have the same problem in doing the same work. If you don't go all out to solve the problem, interest is always in your imagination. "

When Gao Ting threw away the crutch of interest, we soon discussed and recommended her career choice.
