On October 29, a special public welfare job fair for 2017 college graduates in Jiangsu Province was held in Nanjing. More than 1,200 employers provided nearly 30,000 jobs. Most of the graduates in the class of 2017 were born around 1995. The "post-95s" who have just entered the workplace brought a unique youthful atmosphere to this job fair. "Wechat business agents", "Taobao store owners" and even outstanding "records" in online games have all entered their resumes and become dazzling "skills".

Don’t talk about backward reasoningIn 10 years, that is, three years ago, qualifications such as "being good at playing games" were unlikely to be a specialty in a job resume, and would even be regarded as "not doing your job properly."

But now, some people get high salaries because they play online games well, and some earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan a month. Naturally, playing online games well can become a student’s specialty.

In fact, there are indeed job seekers who have been successfully admitted by relevant job search units because of their unique talents. For example, at this job fair in Nanjing, some students were chosen by relevant technology companies because they were good at games; there were also students who were chosen by relevant employers because of their experience in opening Taobao stores"Taobao".

Therefore, on the one hand, as an employer and recruiter, it is necessary to see the development and changes of the times, and at the same time, see the refresh and changes in the hobbies and expertise of the younger generation. We should be tolerant of those unusual specialties in resumes. At the very least, we can no longer look at people and resumes with old ideas. We should give more space and opportunities to talents with special skills to develop their abilities.

But on the other hand, for job seekers, it is still necessary to be targeted when making resumes, submitting resumes, and applying for jobs. For example, if a student has impressive achievements and expertise in online games, and is willing to apply for a job in a technology and Internet company, then when making and submitting a resume, you may wish to emphasize and write more about yourself"Well played". And if you are applying for a job in a corporate unit that has nothing to do with online games, the position you want to seek is also a position that does not require specialties such as "being good at playing games". Alternative specialties such as "god of war in online games" will inevitably become shortcomings or even an excuse for rejection by the employer.

With the development of the times, society is diversified, occupations are diversified, and hobbies and specialties are naturally different. What was unusual in the past may be normal today; and what was once a specialty may have become unusual today. But no matter how it changes, one thing is very clear, that is, the suitable one is the best, and the counterpart and corresponding one need each other.

Opportunities are for those who are prepared. It’s understandable to have alternative talents, and they can even become a tool for job hunting"stepping stone", but whether you are fully prepared, have enough ability, and whether you are qualified for the job is the key to job hunting.
