认识我的人都知道我是上海滩知名意识流女王，可能一阵子没跟我聊天就完全不知道我在干嘛了——在做什么事情，在世界的哪个角落。闲起来可以在家躺尸一个礼拜每天刷豆瓣天涯，忙起来完全四脚朝天饭都没空吃。这几年做过乱七八糟的事情貌似两个手都数不过来，公众号倒反而是坚持的最长的一件事情了。
昨天的推送里David同学从如何进大公司的角度讨论了【充实简历】这个话题，那今天我就来为那些内心躁动不安，想创出自己一番小天地的同学提供一些经验分享。
设定一个时间段，做尽可能多的兼职
一直被问到的一个问题是“我不知道自己擅长什么啊怎么办”，怎么办？我也不知道怎么办啊？我不是你，怎么可能知道你的长处在哪里？作为一个实践派，我浅显的认为若想搞清自己所长之事，必须要走出家门，去探索，去磨练。而其中成本比较低的或许就是去寻找不同类型的兼职了，一来，没有什么经济负担，兼职工资虽少但好歹是一笔收入，比起一些花钱的个人投资（例如报语言学习班），也算是比较适合手头吃紧学生党的一种操作了；二来，世上行业千千万，趁着还年轻，多从事几个不同工种是有利无弊的事情。
比如说给自己一年的时间，去把所有可能做的事情都做一遍，相信我，你不会后悔。
如何找到有趣的兼职？我曾经做过古着店的shopkeeper，做过口译，做过培训师，做过自媒体，做过餐厅，几乎是天南海北八竿子打不着的行业，但是这一切的经历都成了我无法被他人复制的珍贵财富。具体的如何定位-精确找到兼职-内化为自我经历已经在过往推送中详细解说过，请回看，这里不赘述。
建立有效的人脉
创业圈里可以说人脉就是一切，有人脉就能办成事儿就能少走弯路。这里的人脉其实跟大家印象中的“关系”也不太一样，而是指资源对等的情况下大家的互惠互利。
所以说如何建立有效人脉呢？你得自身有足够的筹码让别人对你感兴趣。
这个筹码可以是我能说一口流利的英语，可以是我有上海的各种公关资源，又可以是我能够写一篇华丽漂亮的公众号推送。很多人总是一心想着要去结实更多朋友建立更多人脉，忽略了自身有多少资源，如果自身资源不够有说服力，出去social就变成了一厢情愿的事情了。

创业时谨慎入伙
这算是我个人的经验教训了，创业这两个字听着很美好但是里面的苦只有经历过的人才知道，而反观我过去一年创业之路，最大的一个感想就是你所在团队的能力高低决定了你个人的天花板，团队很重要啊，别想着自己能力再强什么事情都能扛着，会累崩的。所以该让贤的时候就别逞强，即使创业也要注意休息，别把自己累垮了最后什么都做不成。
身边也有很多朋友创业，因为是跟熟悉的人一起搭伙，扯不下面子在一开始就把一切说清楚，导致创业过程中发生各种幺蛾子跟我叫苦不迭，但最后还是引发一场大撕逼。这个么……我是过来人了，真的，不管创什么业，只要不是你一个人单枪独斗，一定一定在一开始把所有最坏的情况想明白讲清楚，想小人后君子大家才能愉快玩耍。
创业对简历究竟有什么益处？
我个人的职场观一直都是：我不care什么职称工作环境是否高大上公司是否五百强之类的，真正到我银行卡里的人民币才是最实在的。所以说嘛，在这个全民创业的时代，很可能创业公司开出的工资比传统大企业要高很多（自然，压力也是成倍的），这些公司在招人的时候也许会更青睐自己有过创业经历的求职者。
如果职业规划时本身就期待一份高压有挑战晋升空间大的工作的话，可以考虑自己创业，就算创失败了，也绝对是人生中的一笔无形财富。
Being always addressed as ‚Queen of Shanghai‚ you can never predict what am I up to - what I’m doing at the moment, which part of the world I’m in currently. Well, to be fair, my life is quite extreme, i.e. as a freelancer, sometimes I could just lay an entire week at home doing absolutely nothing, or if I’m handling a project, I don’t even have time to eat a proper lunch. Looking back at last two years, I’ve done countless different stuff in different domains, interestingly this blog ends up being the thing that lasts the longest in my calendar.
Yesterday my friend David briefly talked about some ways you can do to make your CV stand out, so today I want to talk a little bit about this topic on a more entrepreneurial perspective, sharing some of my personal experience.
Be proactive - set a time slot and do as much as you can
I always get asked ‚I don’t know what I’m good at, what should I do?‚ Well, I’m not you, I can’t make any decision for you. The only way you are gonna find this out is by trying yourself. I believe that in order to truly know yourself you need to go out there and explore. One of the most low cost ways is to do different types of part-times.
When I referred to part-time, it means high quality ones, not wiping tables at McDonald. Why part-times? First of all it’s a great way to step outside the campus and get to know different kinds of people who are much older and much more experienced than you; secondly, you also get a pay-check for the work you do so it’s not as financially-stressfully as say, to sign up a language class to improve your skillsets; lastly you also get to find out what is it that you truly like and really good at.
I’ve personally taken a handful drastically different part-times in the last two years or so including: shopkeeper at a vintage store. interpreter, corporate training, social media content creator…which eventually developed into something bigger: running a blog and co-founding a restaurant. All these define who I am today and I never regret going through everything.
Give yourself say, one year of time, try everything you possibly can.
2.Be sociable - establish your own network
Network is key when it comes to entrepreneurship, with an efficient network you get things done much faster. This is different from the traditional Chinese ‚guanxi‘, but rather a resource exchange under an equal condition.
But HOW? The sole solution is to create value for yourself and make others interested in you.
For instance, being fluent in a foreign language, having PR resources of luxury brands, being able to create a beautiful WeChat blogpost. These can all be considered as a strength that trigger others’ interests in you. Keep in mind, networking is a bilateral thing.
3. Be bilingual - fluent in at least one foreign language
This has been discussed many times in this blog, please refer to previous related posts.
4. Be skeptical - choose wisely when getting on board
This is my personal lesson. Even if you think you are invincible and can achieve anything on your own, it’s NOT possible. Teamwork still plays a huge roll when creating a business, so choose wisely BEFORE you get on board with any team.
I have many friends around me who also run their own businesses, they’ve also complained about the same kind of issues, first they just wanted to be kind but ended going the separate ways with their partners. So it’s better to clear things up in the first place before things go south in the end.
5. What is actually the benefits of being entrepreneurial?
My opinion towards career has always been practical: I don’t care much about working environment or how fancy the title sounds - it’s the experience and the paycheck matters. In our time, many startups can give their employees a even bigger paycheck than traditional Fortune 500, and in startups one can go through a project from start to finish and greatly enhance working abilities. Therefore working for a startup isn’t necessarily a bad choice. Naturally startups may value people with more entrepreneurial experience on their CVs.
Even if you failed running your own business, you can always consider working for an already-established startup, or vice versa.
