A certificate can't fully represent your ability, but it can make others think that you are very capable before you fully explore your ability. This "thinking" alone is enough to help you get rid of a group of competitors.
+Today, we will focus on the group of college students and see what student Xiao Wang knows about his own research road:
I majored in e-commerce in two ordinary universities. I chose this major because I think it's best to find a job after graduation, and it's not bad to open a Taobao shop at home if I can't find a job.
But when I really study, I find it is not difficult to open a Taobao shop, but it is difficult to make money from it, and for other reasons, I am less and less interested in this major. I don't think I'm an easy failure. Although I am on the verge of giving up my major, I have been trying to open up a new path for my future career choice. I decided to take several certificates with high gold content, so that I can have a stepping stone to change careers in the future.
During my college years, I got two certificates related to my major. Let's talk about the first type-accounting qualification certificate and junior accountant certificate.
On June 20 16, I got the first semester accounting qualification certificate (it had not been cancelled at that time). In June, 1 1, registration for the junior accountant exam began, and I was eager to try. I integrated my time and finally chose to apply.
2065438+At the end of March, 2007, I finished the computer level 2 exam; I began to prepare for the first meeting in April, and I have never studied the corresponding professional courses. Speaking of basics, I did a little at most during the exam, but nearly a year later, I forgot all about it. The hardest part is actually in the beginning I started a series of preparatory work, such as buying books and taking online classes. Later, it was 3: 0 1 every day until May 16 (the day of the exam). Besides attending classes, I stayed in the library for a month and a half and finally passed the exam as I wished.
Although these are two certificates, they can be classified into one category and both belong to the accounting category. Because e-commerce majors can take the bank exam, having these two certificates is definitely a plus item, so my career choice is to take the bank exam after graduation. Although I didn't have a chance to work in a bank after graduation, when I was working as a handyman in a small company last winter vacation, my boss heard that I had a junior certificate and asked me to settle accounts. With my little knowledge of accounting, I have done my work well, and my salary is twice that of a handyman. At that time, I felt that the certificate was not only a stepping stone, but also real knowledge. Although learning may not be useful, you will find that it does not occupy your brain's memory in vain.
Let's talk about the second category: teacher qualification certificate.
I want to take the teacher qualification exam in the second semester of my sophomore year. Because my sister teaches in a primary school in the provincial capital city, she encourages me to try one. Plus, I didn't have a specific career plan at that time, so I decided to take the exam. At that time, my idea was to get the primary school English teacher qualification certificate and prepare for the graduation exam, but I found that in the teacher recruitment announcements in many areas of our province, "the candidates' majors should be the same or similar to the subjects they applied for." Of course, there are also those who are not limited to majors, that is, they are geographically biased, and most of them are located in towns and villages. To tell the truth, this discovery was fatal to my planning at that time.
I spent the second half of the summer vacation thinking: Do you want to take an exam? What's the use of exams? Suddenly one day, I had a bold idea: I want to take the senior high school English teacher qualification certificate. Because high school can teach junior high school, junior high school can also teach, so the choice is wider. If there is a suitable opportunity to prepare for the exam, work in a counseling institution (it's better if you don't get the exam, so you have a foothold in the counseling institution).
Then I began to prepare. I am a typical non-normal student, and the subjects I want to take have nothing to do with my major. So I decided to sign up for class, carefully selected from a bunch of downloaded apps, and left a "test teacher together". This choice became the beginning of my fate with 17 school.
Although I made a choice, my goal was too high and I was afraid of failure. From the decision to apply for English in senior three to the beginning of senior three, I searched almost all the experience posts and prepared for the worst. After the beginning of school, I returned to the state of the first textual research: attending classes, in addition to attending classes, is doing problems in the library. Those days were really full! Later, I passed the written test successfully, but the interview became a big worry for me, because I wanted to try it all over England. To tell you the truth, I'm scared!
What to do! ? Still believe in "testing teachers together" and follow the teacher's rhythm! In this way, I started my own interview journey. I haven't missed every online practice class, from the blunt reading of the trial speech to the emotional reading of the trial speech to the efforts to release the manuscript, with little progress and little change. Of course, during this period, I also practiced "possessed" and kept asking myself: What's the use of taking this test? Is it really valuable to make yourself so tired? After such repeated denials, confidence and determination are constantly being rebuilt.
Finally, on the day of the exam, I took the exam at noon. That morning, I ran to the playground alone, and I was not afraid of the biting wind. I repeat the lessons I have prepared over and over again and make the final preparations. Fortunately, I got a writing class in the topic selection room, which was not very difficult. I designed the class activities according to the teacher's instructions, but my heart kept pounding until I answered the structured questions. The trial was stopped by the examiner in about 6 minutes. I thought it was over, but I pretended to answer the teacher's question calmly, bowed and thanked him, and left the classroom. But the result was that I passed, and I was so happy to see the interview certificate.
The subject here may be more concerned about whether I took the exam or went to work in a counseling institution. The answer is neither. I don't take the exam because I don't want to settle down so quickly, or you can think I want to wander around the big city for a few years; I didn't go to a counseling institution, which means I didn't have a full-time job, but I went to summer school. One of the requirements of counseling institutions is that I must have a teacher qualification certificate. I have passed the surprise inspection of the Education Bureau, but I am not afraid. After all, I have a certificate, and I instantly feel the security brought by this certificate.
I talked about my research in college and a series of experiences they brought me, in order to tell you that what you feel now is "useless" or "useless". As time goes by, you will find that every drop of sweat you have ever shed will not be in vain. This sentence sounds like poisoned chicken soup, but it's true!
