2011 year , A junior female student majoring in electronic information in three universities is following 2 A group of sophomores majoring in communication formed to represent the school 2011 year “ Risa cup ” National college student electronic design competition , I was surprised to win the third prize of Hubei Province , Although it was unexpected , But I am still very happy , After all, I won the award for my first professional effort , Even if it's just a certificate of award , Still don't want to lose to the boys in the same class .

I will graduate soon , Everyone is preparing their graduation thesis 、 Ready to find a job 、 Participate in the campus recruitment of various schools everywhere , I hope I can find my ideal job ahead of time . However, my cruel and realistic academic background makes me run into a wall everywhere , Our major is electronic information engineering , The university is full of theoretical and boring courses , Although the teachers are from famous schools , But we still don't know , I don't know why .

Tell the truth , There are too few that can be operated and practiced , There is no such thing as a project , Some are just experiments in textbooks , I don't realize the significance of it , All of us have done our jobs , So after graduation, you said you could engage in software , And I haven't practiced it , Meet the written examination of your favorite company directly KO, You said you could engage in hardware , Although I passed the written examination, I couldn't pass the interview , We all learn according to book chapters , There is no concept of the whole system .

Later, I managed to get a company selling chips Offer, But I can't be stupid. I haven't been forced to leave my job after the probation period . No money after leaving , Without a place to live, I am more afraid of being known by my family , And I want to work in the electronics industry , I hurried to find an infrared company to do production test work , Life needs stability , The flame of joining the electronics industry has not been extinguished , The plan still needs to be realized slowly , Secretly spent half a year in the production and testing department , Save enough money to rent a house for a while , I decided to leave and go to the company I wanted .

Poor heaven , I found a company that makes sweeping robots , Make hardware , It is estimated that the company has just been established and needs talents to barely grasp the recruitment of people without any project experience , Several software have been recruited in succession , That's it , A piece of hardware , An underlying driver , An algorithm , A boss ,4 My little workshop started .

At that time, my gorgeous transformation as a girl with several jobs began .

My boss gave me a list of all the purchases of the company , Buy it yourself , Advance money by yourself , Make a year-end income and expenditure summary ;

Hardware engineers must learn to draw pictures and PCB Layout, As for whether the specifications are standardized, it is not necessary to realize the functions first ;

Must learn to weld and repair , This is the most basic skill in hardware ;

Must be to help the boss run the Social Security Bureau and the provident fund center , You can't let a big boss worry about this, can you ;

We need to be able to dismantle the machine 、 Install the machine and cooperate with software brothers to debug and test functions, right .

In this way, I had a happy time in this small workshop 2 year , My first trip to Shenzhen , First time on a plane , For the first time, I went to a company with hundreds of people to connect products , First saw the welding equipment , Go to the assembly line for the first time to guide the production work , I have learned a lot in these two years , It's also improved a lot , I am very grateful to my boss for not disliking the girl who knew nothing and had to do hardware .

Later, as investors withdrew their capital, we had to start looking for jobs again . I remember it very much 2014 year 6 month 24 Japan .

Later, I worked as a hardware company in a pension bank , After the probation period, I left , Overtime pressure 、 The spiritual oppression of the boss 、 For personal reasons, I decided to change .

After 11, I went to a smart home company , Mainly design and Layout, Part of the testing work , There are challenges as well as learning , So I moved around with the company , I got along well with my colleagues during my stay here , The boss is also very cute , It passed in a flash 4 year , The company witnessed my love 、 marry 、 The stages of having children , I also try very hard not to give the company's products problems that can not be tested .

finally ,2018 In, I still couldn't resist the temptation to start a business with my former colleagues , This year I became the head of the company's hardware , From product planning 、 Platform selection 、 Establishment of supply chain , The recruitment of personnel and the delivery of products broke my heart , No time for family , I have no time to accompany my children , Unknowingly, I also experienced the magic spell that startups will not live for three years .

2020 Beginning of the year , The epidemic broke out , The company announced its decision to divest its electronic business unit , Isolation at home can also lead to unemployment , Even worse for me was having a second child .

For a girl with a strong sense of career , I don't want to go back to my family , My family decided to let me rest for a year to raise my second child , Bring it up , I heard it too . It was not easy until the second child was born , After the full moon, I started my work plan , Review the basic knowledge for a good interview , Sort out my work experience in recent years and the problems encountered in the project .

As I wish , The child is in 2 I succeeded in finding a job when I was six months old , At that time, the family were all supportive , Soon my energy was spent on my new job , After all, it is a little different from the previous industry , I need to spend more time learning about the frustrations of a new industry . At the same time, I have to take care of my family , After all, the mother-in-law of two children can't bring them alone , So I have to finish my work quickly every day and drive home for an hour and a half to tutor the students , Prepare everything for the next day .

Soon , There's a contradiction , I get off work later and later , Fewer and fewer times to go home , The children see me only on the day when they don't work overtime on weekends , I told my supervisor about me , Hope to increase recruitment to share the work , The supervisor conveyed the wishes of the small staff to the boss , The boss said how many people are needed to do such a small thing , Originally, the distribution of work is not saturated, and we need to increase manpower , Was it a lie to say how capable you were in the interview .

Facing the dissatisfaction of the boss , I'm holding on to , As long as you are strong enough, you can always defeat demons and ghosts , But beyond my expectation , Our hardware group 4 I am the only one left with the supervisor , All the pressure is coming from me , Soon I fell down too , I also offered to leave .

I looked everywhere for a job before I officially left , The new job requires me to leave work on time , Weekend overtime is also OK, Because I have to pick up the children from the kindergarten after work at o'clock .

When the children are old enough to go to school, grandma can't help but follow me , The father of the child works in other places all the year round , I can't count on , Grandma doesn't want to live in a lattice house with her little one in her hometown , Only I have to take my children to work , therefore , As a mother who needs to work with her children, it is particularly important to get off work on time , This is the only condition for me to find a job .

Perhaps this era is unfair to women , Take care of your children and go to work , Have the ability to have a market , And all the bosses should understand , It is obvious that I am frustrated and hindered in my job search , Any company that asks me to interview, I mean to get off work on time on weekdays , Accept overtime at other times , Because I work overtime on weekends, I can take my children to my hometown .

It can be imagined how difficult and humble my job hunting experience is , Meet my requirements , If you want to give money, go to .

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha , remember , I have been working for nearly ten years , There are too many regrets in the past ten years , Too much gain , Too much persistence , Too many trials and tribulations , Now I will give up some things that I originally insisted on and didn't want to give up , And making these decisions is difficult .

Only this article , To commemorate my first ten years at work .
