What should I prepare to leave home and look for a job in a big city?

Tell me about my experience. I am a graduate of the 21st undergraduate course. I searched for a job in Beijing in October this year, and now I have successfully joined the job and become a busy workplace worker during the probation period. I would like to share with you some experiences of coming to big cities to apply for jobs, hoping to help you.

the first thing to prepare is undoubtedly enough money. Although there are more opportunities in big cities than in small cities, in fact, we all know that it is not difficult to find a job, but it is difficult to find a suitable and satisfactory job today, and so is it in big cities. Moreover, according to my own experience in finding a job, it is necessary to prepare for the shortest job search period of 1-2 months or even longer in big cities, so only enough money can support our basic life in big cities.

Secondly, remember to find a good place to stay before coming to a big city. It's definitely not cost-effective to choose long-term rental directly during the job-hunting period, because the future work place has not been decided. In case the rental place is far away from the work place, commuting will be extremely painful. Therefore, if the funds are relatively sufficient, you can choose to stay in a monthly rental hotel or stay in a short-term rental platform. Monthly rental hotel is one of the self-help means for the hotel industry in the current epidemic period. I chose a monthly rental hotel in Beijing and spent relatively more money to solve the most difficult problem of staying. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on accommodation, you can also find a youth hostel to stay temporarily. Of course, girls must pay attention to safety issues and try to choose a single room for youth hostels or a youth hostel for all girls. Or you can find friends or relatives to stay in big cities. Of course, you should choose the way that suits you according to your own situation without bothering friends and relatives.

At the same time, it's best to send your resume appropriately before leaving for an interview. Resume should not be blindly invested in the sea. We can first determine the direction of relevant job-seeking occupations according to the internship experience, major and occupation of interest, and then go to the recruitment software to search for which companies are available for recruitment, and then we can screen the companies.

definitely! Before submitting your resume, you should search for information about this company on major Internet media such as Enterprise Check, Tianyancha, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, Baidu, etc., check the industrial and commercial information in Enterprise Check Tianyancha to see if the paid-in capital is zero, check that the number of participants is preferably above 2, and check that it is not recommended to go in the range of -1 people. Then, search in Zhihu Xiaohongshu for any spit and negative information about this company. If all the above are considered to be no big problem, please check. Maybe everyone thinks I'm too strict, but I think it will not only save us time from taking some junk interviews, but also protect our personal safety to some extent.

After receiving the interview notice, you should also fully prepare certain questions. It is best to be proficient in both Chinese and English in self-introduction, have a clear understanding of your own career planning, and know how to answer your own advantages and disadvantages. It is best to have a certain understanding of the company and the position you are applying for. We must also be confident in the interview process. Self-confidence is a great weapon to show our ability in front of strangers. Don't be shy about talking about salary, vacation and overtime during the interview process. Remember that we can't all give in to five insurances and one gold, salary and vacation.

Finally, I want to say that in today's epidemic era, we have encountered unprecedented difficulties. Sometimes we wonder what our value is after studying for so many years, and we will be overwhelmed by peer pressure, and we will be defeated by the worrying economy and overall environment. In fact, it doesn't matter! Our life is bound to be bumpy and difficult. Anxiety is the background color of our new generation of young people's youth. We can't rule it out. We can only learn how to live with it carefully. Don't blame ourselves for internal friction. Even if we know that the whole world will not be good in the future, we must hypnotize ourselves that we will definitely see the rainbow one day in the future. Finally, I wish you all the best in finding jobs in big cities! We migrant workers want to make a lot of money!
