今天正好是大学毕业后整整一周,回想这个星期,我还是每天准时起床,早上学学英语,分类下订阅的百度新闻,搜搜几位公关专家的博客有没有更新,然后再在17PR上自由的截取些精神食粮。最近有两本书是我正在看的——居延安的《公共关系学》和James Webb Young 的《A Technique for Producing Ideas》。
虽然毕业但几乎隔两天就收到年级辅导员对我“关心”的电话。因为我现在还没有和任何一家公司签约,所以学院的就业率统计会受点小影响。或许我让她有点失望了,因为之前她一直把我当学院里面最不愁工作的正面典型之一。我本可以留在研究所深造,我放弃了。我读大学时就和老师同学办过两家公司,经营良好,我放弃了。一家无锡本土公司给我开了个挺吓唬应届生的高薪职位,我放弃了。再挫也可以回家帮老爸打理下半死不活的传统企业吧,我还是放弃了。我说自己是公关新人,不在乎我暂时有没有进入这个行业。关键我觉得自己一直在努力靠近,我自信早晚都会进入的。
其实今年4月底的时候我就到上海通过了一家国际知名的公关公司的实习生面试。本来当时就可以开始实习期了,无奈我是个工科生,毕业设计紧张又严格。我只能先回学校安安分分的把学位拿到手,期间还抽空和几位各有所长的朋友参加了一个“网易 高校奥运观方站”的比赛。半个月前我们以预赛第一名的好成绩从华东赛区出线。值得一说的是这次比赛我们高效及时的专题,全面的传播方式,有节凑的推广流程为网站短期内在“日访问量”和“独立IP点击量”两项指标做出很大贡献。但高兴不久,前几天当我去确认我的实习时间时,我收到了用人机会已过的告知。
我有过一闪而过的遗憾,只因为自己过于乐观而顾此失彼!但这一切已经与未来无关,我不是那些为了害怕再次摔跤而停止前进的人。事实上,我一直觉得自己是幸福的,我从未把宝贵时间浪费在为前途迷茫,因为始终都明白自己在做什么,喜欢什么、能做好什么!
Diance L Coutu是《哈佛商业评论》的高级编辑,在9.11后发表了一篇名为《有一种力叫复原力》的文章。指出复原力(Resilience)有三大特征:勇敢的接受现实,深信生活是富有意义的,以及能够随机应变解决问题。
我不是那种盲目乐观的人,不想因此曲解真相。实话说我确实很在乎那个“实习生”机会,因为我热爱PR,我本以为自己可以从那边开始一个扎实的专业基础。我也不会强迫自己喜欢已经发生的事,我会吸取教训但不会把时间浪费在评判他的发生有没有道理。我要做的就是坚信自己可以承担这一切,可以面对现实,接收现实。
大前研一的《专业主义》让我受益良多!我看到自己以前确实很勤奋,很忙碌,也确实比一般的同学多做了很多事,多看了很多世界,多认识了很多人。因为我那时不知道自己不能做什么,所以我确实做出了点什么。但一直到我明白自己能做什么,喜欢什么,可以做好什么的时候。我才看清之前那些是机会,那些只是诱惑。我才敢于把诱惑放弃,向机会前进。无锡是私营企业的故乡,很多企业都是和我从小一起长大的!我痛心又无奈的看到近几年有多少企业包括自己家族的企业因为原材料和劳动力成本的增加,因为出口退税调整和人民币的升值,因为父辈那一代对知识的忽视与对传统的盲目坚守而举步维艰,甚至纷纷死去。我实在不想让自己也踏上那条追逐名利,身不由己的投机之路。
复原力的第三点告诉我们要“能够随机应变解决问题”,我问过自己会“坐以待毙”或者“就此放弃”吗?答案是我不会再次问自己这种傻到家的问题。因为我从不容许让自己和妈妈在同一件事情上失望两次。而妈妈也确实一直鼓励我坚持自己的理想,并且因为我能自己选择而高兴!这也是我最大动力之一。
以下是我昨天向博雅公关实习生机会发出的自荐信。在此之前智扬的HR也给了我机会。相信会很快得到他们上海公司的回复。暂时我就先定位这两个选择!在此感谢这些帮助我开始职业生涯的向导。
