M****r 发帖数: 395 | 1 I had a similar feeling a few years ago. But lucky my bad interview skill did
not get me the job. The company I was interested in is in telecom and you know
what happened. Because I have stayed and an opportunity came up and I moved
into management.
Anyway, my point is do not just look at what make you feel good in the short
term. Think a few years ahead what you want to do. Do you want to be a manager
or be more technical? Then try to accumulate experience or pick up a few
things to do in that | M****r 发帖数: 395 | 2 Most of the tasks you have to do are boring. I would not say jobs are boring
in general. Job is more than the tasks in your schedule. Job is about what you
accomplish at the end. Whether it is a program you write, a cleanly run test,
making a load of money, or see your name recognized. All of them require
boring work, like writing code, debugging, negotiating with clients back and
forth, convince people how good your idea is, etc. | M****r 发帖数: 395 | 3 What I am trying to point out is look at the bigger picture. Your job is not
just coding. Company does not make money by you typing letters in the
computer. Company make money by selling products and services. Look at the
product and service you are creating. Then the job would not be as boring.
But I am not saying everyone does they a job they like. I just want to say it
is more likely you find something interesting if you look at the bigger
picture.

During the past year when I had a crush for a journalism career, even though
I know how hard it is, I tried to have valuable internships in national TV
network, got enormous help from people, at once I almost got in a reporter's p
position, if it were not because I was offered a better paid and easier career
path in my current place.
And I'm still doing part-time printing journalism right now |
