Zhang Lin, a 2016 undergraduate student majoring in foreign administration at the w88 casino of Public Administration. Won the second- and third-class scholarships for w88 casino-level outstanding students and comprehensive awards for three consecutive years. While in w88 casino, he served as class monitor of the 2016 class of the w88 casino of Public Administration, deputy director of the volunteer group of the Student Union of the Youth League Committee of the w88 casino of Public Administration, and TAR tutor. Faced with the sudden epidemic, Zhang Lin formulated a job search plan based on her own abilities and interests, and efficiently completed her role transformation, switching from postgraduate entrance examinations to job hunting. With her excellent professional knowledge and comprehensive ability, she stood out from a crowd of competitors and was hired by Huayang International Guangzhou Company, becoming one of the company's first batch of management trainees.

Giving up the postgraduate entrance examination means that the previous preparations and efforts have been in vain. This decision may seem to outsiders to be a momentary decision, but Zhang Lin clearly knows that being able to complete the role change from the postgraduate entrance examination to job hunting so quickly is the result of four years of continuous accumulation and self-understanding.
When everyone first entered w88 casino as a freshman, everyone had a blank piece of paper, but Zhang Lin had already sketched the outline of the future for herself on this blank piece of paper. Based on her self-understanding at that time, she made more detailed considerations on whether it was postgraduate entrance examinations, internships or employment, and continued to practice it. During her four years at the University of International w88 and Economics, she actively participated in club activities and exercised and improved her abilities while working as a student; she actively engaged in industry positions related to career considerations to enrich her internship experience; she actively pursued double majors to continuously expand her interests and abilities. Along the way, she continued to explore, accumulate, and improve, and formed a clearer positioning of herself. This clear understanding of oneself has turned into the courage and determination when making choices, and has turned into a full resume and harvest during the four years of college.
Go to the podium and transform yourself
Every w88 student is familiar with “TAR”. TAR, the full name of Teaching Assistant Regular, is the English teaching assistant team of the University of International w88 and Economics, aiming to assist some freshmen with weak English to learn English. When she entered her freshman year, out of curiosity about the TAR team and her strong interest in British and American culture and English, Zhang Lin joined the English teaching assistant team of the University of International w88 and Economics.
After truly participating in this organization, she was surprised to find that TAR is actually a unique landscape of the University of International w88 and Economics. Most of the teaching assistant team members are students majoring in finance and economics, but in the TAR class, each of them has transformed into a "little teacher" with very good teacher quality and teaching ability. The teachers here will have regular evaluations and discussions, and the teachers in the teaching assistant team will also listen to each other's classes and learn from each other's experiences. At TAR, the weekly class is only 90 minutes long, but after class, in order to present these 90 minutes, tutors often spend nearly 900 minutes in lesson preparation. A successful classroom should be a classroom where teachers and students communicate and achieve each other's achievements. When knowing that her students have learned something from the weekly class, Zhang Lin also gained great relief and a sense of accomplishment. After stepping onto the TAR podium and experiencing several classroom tests, Zhang Lin became comfortable in any public situation.
In her freshman year, Zhang Lin was not only a tutor of TAR, but also an officer of the student union and grade monitor. The overlap between studies and student work once caused her to collapse. But she believes that students should focus on their studies, because whether you are applying for a job, taking the postgraduate entrance examination, or going abroad, your grades are the first business card that the interviewer will look at you. How to balance the relationship between students' work and study? Zhang Lin said that the most important thing is self-discipline, and daily planning should be detailed down to the hour and minute. Concentrate fully in class to ensure maximum learning efficiency; "squeeze" time after class and do your best to complete student work tasks. In addition, proper communication and division of labor can also greatly improve your efficiency. "When you feel tired after work and want to relax, you can choose to stay in the dormitory for rest and entertainment. But if you choose to use this time to study, then study and work will not conflict at all." In the process of dealing with the relationship between study and student work, Zhang Lin gradually became a more self-disciplined and efficient person.
Go out of campus and refresh your knowledge
Speaking of internship experience, Zhang Lin’s situation is somewhat special. Since she is studying a double major in Japanese, she still has a lot of courses in her junior year, so she cannot have enough time to participate in offline internships like other students. In the second semester of her junior year, she was fortunate enough to get an online internship offer from the China Survey and Data Center of the National People's Congress China Education Tracking Project (CEPS). For Zhang Lin, who has a heavy workload, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity. As an online researcher, my daily task is to communicate with respondents online and do a good job in statistical integration of survey data without having to "spend" time in the office. Zhang Lin also gained a lot from this online internship experience. She not only improved her organizational and coordination skills, but also mastered practical knowledge such as communication skills in follow-up visits and project execution. Upon graduation, Zhang Lin was awarded the "Excellent Intern" with the second highest performance. Here, Zhang Lin reminds her juniors: “If you have a lot of homework at w88 casino and don’t have time to take care of offline internships, you might as well target online work in companies or universities. This can also be a wonderful resume.”
After the postgraduate entrance examination, Zhang Lin originally planned to find a winter vacation internship in Beijing. But she never expected that the sudden outbreak of the epidemic would force her to switch to remote working after receiving an internship offer from Beijing ByteDance Technology Co., Ltd. In view of her previous online research experience, Zhang Lin already had a good idea and thought she would be handy enough. Unexpectedly, the internship situation this time was much more complicated. "Making all kinds of information flow more efficiently and transparently internally" is the core of Bytedance's internal management and corporate culture. Driven by the fast-paced company atmosphere, Zhang Lin, who originally thought she was efficient, found that she was nothing more than a small witch. This encouraged her to constantly adjust her work status and update her efficiency values; as an HRBP intern, she is even more She clearly understands the importance of real-time communication and information feedback for the selection and retention of business talents; in addition, Zhang Lin also realizes the importance of managing interpersonal relationships in the workplace. Unlike student clubs and student organizations, the workplace faces people of different social levels and ages. Such communication often tests emotional intelligence and is more challenging.
During this internship, Zhang Lin was surprised that she gained a lot of knowledge that she could not learn in the study. She constantly refreshed her understanding of herself. "Pursue perfection, be pragmatic and dare to act, be open and humble, be honest and clear, always be entrepreneurial, and be diverse and compatible", the powerful call of Byte's corporate culture gave Zhang Lin the courage to achieve a new self.
Four years of Huiyuan, diverse possibilities
During the four years of studying and living at the University of International w88 and Economics, Zhang Lin deeply realized the connotation of the saying "everything is possible". In the past four years, she has participated in many student clubs and organizations, working and studying with like-minded friends; she combined her interests and studied a double major in Japanese, taking the first step to bravely try a new subject; the free atmosphere of the University of International w88 allowed her to flexibly arrange her spare time and have more time. and opportunities to explore the boundaries of her abilities; at the highly internationalized University of International w88, her exchanges with foreign friends expanded her horizons; she practiced her own temperament and aura through class pre-classes... In the past four years, these precious experiences have allowed Zhang Lin to get to know herself and discover more possibilities for herself. The girl with low self-esteem who passed the college entrance examination four years ago and entered the University of International w88 and Economics has gained a full resume and turned into a confident and calm person in the University of International w88 and Economics.
"Forever young, always full of tears", no matter how many times this sentence is repeated, Zhang Lin still likes it. This girl always carries her dreams and longing for the future, maintains her youthful courage, and walks out on her own life step by step. Even if she misses the autumn recruitment, the national examination, takes the postgraduate entrance examination but gives up the opportunity to re-examine, she can turn around gracefully, calmly and firmly enter the workplace, live a wonderful life, and live the life she wants.
