In October, autumn is getting stronger. Hong Ran, the protagonist of this article, this ordinary-looking young man is currently mixed in the chaotic crowd of job seekers. His thin body is surging back and forth with the waves of people, like a piece of sea.
Driftwood. His face was expressionless. He had experienced this kind of scene many times and had long been used to it. In other words, he was numb. He just waited quietly.
Li Youran, whose name is Youran, does not live a leisurely life at all. He graduated from a third-rate university two years ago and has not yet found a formal job. Only after graduation did he know that the economics and management major he studied was
It's just a snake oil that can be used anywhere, and is not particularly needed anywhere. He worked odd jobs such as tutoring, odd jobs, sales, and market research during school and after graduation, but he couldn't sustain it.
For slightly more formal units, I submitted countless cover letters, but in the end they were all useless and didn't even stir up a splash.
His last job was as an insurance salesman. It is said that this is the profession with the lowest threshold but the most difficulty in the market. After two months, faced with the dismal performance and the manager’s cold and contemptuous face, Li Youran
Driven by self-esteem, I voluntarily resigned without even asking for the last half month's basic salary.
Li Youran did not complain. He knew that if the country had not implemented the policy of expanding enrollment in colleges and universities, he would not be able to get into college based on his academic performance. The only way out would be to farm at home or join the team of migrant workers who go out to work.
Lijiagou...Second uncle...Second aunt, when thinking of this, Li Youran felt sad in his heart. In that poor valley, the second uncle owed a huge foreign debt for his college education, and he has been unable to pay it off, but he...
.
"Ring, ring, ring..." The rapid ringing of the bell interrupted Li Youran's thoughts. The exchange meeting finally opened, and countless hands waved the tickets and rushed to the venue's ticket gate impatiently.
"Bang!" "Crash!" "Oops!" There was the sound of breaking glass from the front, and screams accompanied by women's cries. The on-site staff hurriedly scratched their hands and rushed to the place where the incident occurred. But there were more
People have no intention of paying attention to this kind of thing. Their only goal is the recruitment booth in the venue.
The flow of people quickly filled up all the open space in the venue, and various sounds mixed together, making the entire glass curtain wall buzz.
Li Youran struggled to get to the front of a recruiting unit, looking very embarrassed. The gray suit he bought frugally was rumpled, and his tie was tilted to one side.
The leather shoes that were carefully wiped when I went out in the morning were also imprinted with countless footprints.
"Hello, my name is Li Youran, and my major is..." Li Youran tried hard to introduce herself to the recruiter.
"Okay, put down your resume. If you are suitable, the company will notify you for an interview." The recruiter interrupted the conversation rudely.
Li Youran had no choice but to stop talking, took out a resume, carefully placed it on the hill-like pile of paper, and then pressed it with his hand before exiting the crowd.
In an open space outside the venue, a beautiful female TV reporter dressed in fashionable clothes was doing an interview program. In front of the camera was a middle-aged man with a big belly, who was the leader of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee.
"Hello, Director Wang, this talent exchange meeting is unprecedentedly grand. What do you think of it?"
"Well, yes, as the largest event in history, this exchange conference has received the care and strong support of leaders at all levels of the municipal party committee and government, as well as the cooperation from many aspects, and has achieved great success. The purpose of the conference is to
It provides employers and talents with two-way choice opportunities, so that people can make the best use of their talents and materials, and promote the city's economic construction and spiritual civilization construction." Director Wang smiled and talked eloquently.
"Ah, I can already feel the warm atmosphere here." The female reporter made an exaggerated expression and then asked, "One more question, what do you think of the rumors circulating in the society that it is difficult for college students to find a job?"
"This issue needs to be viewed correctly." Director Wang paused and his expression became a little serious.
"Actually, there is no shortage of jobs in the society. The main reason is that some college graduates have not corrected their mentality. They are too ambitious and picky when looking for a job. This one is too dirty, that is too tiring, or the salary is low. How can this happen?
OK? Schools and society should strengthen the education of the majority of students and establish a correct outlook on life and values. If you don’t start from the most basic level of work and always want to reach the top in one step, how can you grow into talents who are useful to society? So, in short, let go
The fundamental solution to the current employment problem of college students is to exercise in grassroots positions and shine."
"I think back then, when we, the old college students, graduated, we advocated being ready with both hands, responding to the party's call, and going to the most difficult places to exercise. We were willing to be a brick and move east, west, south, or north as the party wanted. Some people say that this spirit is outdated.
, I say no, this spirit will never go out of style and will continue to be carried forward in the new era!" Director Wang's expression was a little excited when he said this, and he couldn't help but raise his voice.
According to insiders, Director Wang’s own son also graduated from college this year. He had long responded to the party’s call and was assigned to a position with great “training value” in the Municipal Taxation Bureau.
"What you said is great. It seems that ideological education for college students' employment is the key." The female reporter agreed with a smile on her face.
Several green-faced job seekers passed by, and their faces became even more ugly when they saw this performance.
"Bah! You can stand up and talk without pain in your back, but you still 'let the party move from east to west, from north to south'? How old is it? Now you don't even want to move the party!" Onlookers secretly cursed.
At noon, Li Youran walked out of the venue sweating profusely. His legs were as heavy as lead. He found a bluestone bench on the street and sat on it, regardless of whether it was dirty or not.
In one morning, I submitted more than twenty resumes, and all I received were formulaic responses. It seemed that there was still little hope.
"Roasted sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, they are so fragrant and oily," a vendor yelled from the side, and an alluring aroma wafted in the wind.
Li Youran then remembered that he hadn't eaten yet, and his stomach began to growl involuntarily. He took out his change, bought a medium-sized sweet potato, peeled it open and ate it.
After eating the sweet potatoes, my mouth felt blessed, but my stomach felt uncomfortable, with a spasm and sour water rising straight up.
Li Youran pressed his lower abdomen with his right hand, and the stomach trouble occurred again. It may be the result of the reduction in food and irregular work and rest time over the years.
After a long time, his noisy stomach finally calmed down. Li Youran stood up, straightened his clothes, picked up his bag, and walked to the bus stop.
There were actually several eye-catching recruitment notices posted on the billboards at the station. Several passengers waiting for the train were watching with interest, laughing and cursing at each other.
Li Youran was a little curious and stepped forward to take a look.
"xx Nightclub is looking for male and female public relations, with a daily salary of one thousand to five thousand yuan, and the salary is paid daily. People of insight with elegant taste and dignified appearance are welcome to join. The road to success is open for you."
"Damn, I really dare to ask for a price." Li Youran smiled bitterly and shook his head. These days, what kind of thing is public relations? I'm afraid even children know it. He actually posted the advertisement outside the talent exchange meeting and printed it so big.
"Oh oh oh..." The unique rooster crow sounded, causing the two girls passing by to purse their lips and laugh.
Li Youran quickly took out the black and white screen mobile phone he bought from the second-hand market for a hundred yuan, but it turned out to be a familiar number.
"Fat man, it's you."
"What? I'm disappointed by your voice. Which mm are you waiting for? A guy who values sex over friends." A dissatisfied voice came from the receiver.
"Fuck you, I'm waiting for Weiwei's call." Li Youran immediately countered. Fatty Luo was his only best friend in college, and Weiwei was Fatty's girlfriend.
"Come on, Weiwei is like pampas grass and silk to me. Her love is stronger than gold and will never waver."
"It's sour, it's sour, my teeth are falling out."
There was a toad-like laughter in the receiver.
"Come on, let's be more serious. How is your job search going?" Fatty Luo asked.
"I don't know yet, they all said to wait for notification, wait for notification. There are more people looking for jobs in the venue than ants." Li Youran couldn't help but uttered a curse word.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
"I said, of course, take your time to find a job. Don't be anxious. If you don't have enough money, just say it and don't be nervous. You just want to save face and suffer." Fatty Luo's voice also calmed down.
"Okay, okay, I'm not as miserable as you think. I saved some money a few days ago. If I don't have enough in the future, I'll ask you to borrow it." Li Youran looked at the road and saw that the car was coming.
"Okay, I'm about to get on the bus. I'll call you later." Li Youran pressed the end button and turned around to board the bus.
On the other side of the phone, Fatty Luo shook his head.
