2017年9月9日,下午。此时我已然是一名大四生,不打算出国,不打算考研,目标瞄准求职。此时窗外下着瓢泼大雨,不时雷鸣轰响,似乎也在预示着求职路的悲壮与不易。
最近秋招已经开始,各大求职招聘网站首栏都会有轮播,哪家知名企业已经开启网申了,哪家已经网申截止开始笔试了。这些无不在催促着我,同时也压迫着我,昨天才开始在网上投递简历的我,心中慌乱不已。
一晃眼就大四了,想想自己大一期末开始接触网页前端,再到后面大二正式开始想往前端方向发展,直到大三发现其实自己并不喜欢敲代码,每次想敲代码都有一种莫名的抗拒,最后放弃前端这条路,选择运营。再到前面进入公司的种种,这中间经历了很多。
昨晚睡觉时,我梦见自己孤身一人在森林中,身后被猛虎野兽追逐,不停地向前狂奔,不幸地是,前面也出现了猛虎,进退两难的我想着这下必死无疑了吧,想着既成定局,要不就试试看有没有一线生机能冲出重围。此时梦醒,我回到了现实。感觉这个梦境如同我现在的境况,没有退路,硬着头皮都要走下去。
不过想想,也许现在的这段经历,会是以后往日我想起的一段宝贵的回忆。
之前看到一首小诗很适合现在的情境,贴在此处给大四的自己一些鼓励和镇定,也给同是求职的大家一些安慰。
