最近常跟朋友聊到找工作, 自己利用一點的時間, 整理了想法, 跟大家分享. 日後會再補充和延伸有關工作的議題。
你是一間公司的CEO, 而產品是"你自己", 公司的目標是把"自己"行銷到市場(Job market), 並以"最佳"的價格(Compensation, learning, development, social mission fulfillment, or any thing you think it matters)被消費者(Employer)所購買(Getting the offer), 試問, 你將如何develop一份可實行的strategic plan?
Your personal vision and aspiration

Your competitive advantage

- Who are potentially your competitors?
- How can you ensure you can stand out from the pool?
1. 每一個職缺都是一個機會, 不要放棄。甚至更不要有"看不起"每種行業或工作或是"我只申請每種產業或公司"的心態, 我們都只是個剛畢業的年輕人, 除非你是個超級強的人才。
2. 機會是自己創造出來的, 不要害怕去請教或拜訪學長姐(當然要用適當的方式), 有很多的工作機會, 就是在每一個coffee talk中產生的。
3. 一定要將”找工作”視為一件非常認真的事情。
