Li Xinyi: My life is against the hustle and bustle
Reporter Liang Bingjian
Li Xinyi, w88 casino of Information2017-level undergraduate majoring in e-commerce, probationary member of the Communist Party of China, awarded"Second Prize in the National College Student Computer Design Contest", "M Award in the American College Student Mathematical Modeling Contest", first prize in the Asia-Pacific College Student Mathematical Modeling Contest and other awards. He is responsible for summer practice and entrepreneurial projects and has won honors such as "Top 100 Summer Social Practice Teams for College Students in the Capital" and "Beijing's Outstanding Entrepreneurship Team". He once interned at Tencent and worked at Baidu Online Network Technology Co., Ltd. after graduation.
2019YearIn late March, the fifth Beijing University Student Business Innovation Competition was held at the w88 casino. Li Xinyi, who was then the director of the employment internship department of the College Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, did not expect that this event, which had only more than 400 contestants in previous years, would welcome more than a thousand applicants when he became the new person in charge. Talking about his undergraduate work, the sudden pressure two years ago became the most impressive thing for him. Faced with thorny problems such as too many players and insufficient venues, many people in the department hesitated and chose to retreat. However, he did not hesitate to shoulder the pressure that still scares him today. He led the team to modify the competition system, negotiated repeatedly with companies and schools, and solved the problems one by one, vowing to successfully hold the competition. His sense of responsibility is not enough to explain his obsession. The real answer lies in Li Xin's experience during his freshman year.
“We all have many choices”
Li Xinyi, who first entered the University of International w88 and Economics, set his goal of obtaining a graduate degree, but after a year of hard study, his results were not satisfactory. Looking at my ranking hovering in the middle,The thought "I may be lacking in learning ability" appeared in his mind uncontrollably. After realizing that he had no chance of becoming a graduate student, Li Xinyi began to prepare for employment very early. Even for many higher-level students, the choice between graduate w88 casino and employment is a very difficult one. We have no way of knowing how Li Xinyi made such a decisive choice at that time, but he has always believed that "not being able to secure graduate w88 casino does not mean that everything is over." "We all have options," he said.
From then on, he began to consciously learn about employment and internship-related information. According to Li Xinyi's self-report, he had always longed for the Internet industry and heard about the position of product manager in his sophomore year. The challenge of turning an idea into a product stimulated his desire to create. Coordinating the responsibilities of various departments and positions made Li Xinyi, who consciously had certain management capabilities, feel that this was a job tailor-made for him. In order to better adapt to the technical requirements of Internet companies when employing people, he taught himselfPython discovered its outstanding innovation ability in later practice. So everything fell into place. He sat in front of the interviewers during the autumn recruitment. His experience in college and the skills he had mastered seemed to tell everyone that the position of product manager was tailor-made for him. In the end, Baidu's offer was easily won by him.
“It’s not that I stopped studying after I decided not to go to graduate w88 casino, I just learned in a more targeted manner,” he emphasized. “I will consider what skills I need to master for work.” While many students are busy getting more certificates, winning more awards, getting their grades higher, and filling their resumes with as many internship experiences as possible, Li Xinyi chooses to be the person who “does less.” "Improving your abilities is the purpose of learning," he said. "We have to understand the meaning of everything we do, and the numbers themselves have no meaning." You can feel from Li Xinyi his grasp of his future and the confidence that stems from it. With an extraordinary sobriety, he pulled away from the noise and turned firmly towards his own life.
“There is no conflict between helping others and achieving yourself”
Just when Li Xinyi decided to find a job directly after graduation, he also became the director of the Employment Training Department of the College Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center and was responsibleIn the operation of the public account "Internship at the University of International w88 and Economics", the team worked together to collect and organize information on recruiting interns from hundreds of companies and push it to students across the w88 casino. Looking back today, this experience has extraordinary significance for Li Xinyi. The Employment Internship Department is a department that has a lot of contact with companies. As the director, Li Xinyi not only achieved his goal of understanding the workplace environment and company employment needs during his work, but also worked hard to shorten the distance between companies and schools and help more students prepare for internships and employment. The position of director of the Employment Training Department allowed Li Xinyi to see the possibility of two-way help. His passionate work has brought great help to himself and the students who are also in Huiyuan.
“What is this industry like? Which industry is more suitable for you... Only after personal experience can you decide the direction you want to work in,” Li Xinyi said when talking about his original intention of working in the employment internship department. “We hope that everyone has the opportunity to feel the atmosphere of the workplace and explore their own strengths.” This is why he is full of enthusiasm for the fifth Beijing College Student Business Innovation Competition. Time goes back to 201911527_11589“I want those outstanding students to be seen by more people, so that they can get comments and guidance from their seniors. I also believe that these comments can help all students who are preparing to enter the workplace,” he said.
Thanks to the experience of running the competition, Li Xinyi got to know many contestants, judges and teachers, and he felt that he benefited a lot from the exchanges, both in terms of connections and insights. The sudden pressure eventually turned into a new experience that enriched his life. In the later autumn recruitment, he shared his experience and notes taken during this period with his colleagues who participated in the interview together. Stories of competitors interfering with each other and even resorting to all possible means during job hunting are passed down by word of mouth. In contrast, Li Xinyi is a breath of fresh air. As he said,“In fact, we are all ordinary people.” Instead of letting the intensifying involution make life a mess, it is better to let your own efforts bring progress to everyone. “There is no conflict between helping others and achieving yourself,” he said.
As the scale of higher education expands today, the devaluation of academic qualifications caused by the increase in the number of undergraduates has made many undergraduate graduates shy away from the workplace. However, Li Xinyi has a different view on this. In interviews he always mentionsWith the word "ability", he said that academic qualifications are only one aspect of ability, and true talent will not be covered up by academic qualifications. During the fall recruitment last year, he competed with many graduate students and Ph.D. students. At first, he was secretly worried that his academic qualifications were not as good as others, but he also discovered when leading discussions time and time again that "I am not necessarily worse than them."
As he emphasized before, since employment is the goal, you must study in a targeted manner and put in more effort than others in a specific field. This is the fact. Whether he actively investigated the Internet industry during w88 casino, taught himself programming, or read a large number of professional books and cases related to the position before each interview, Li Xinyi really took practical actions to"Targeted learning" is implemented to the end. The story of "undergraduate students are better than graduate students" does not mean that studying is useless, but that Li Xinyi knows where his competitiveness lies. Neither graduate w88 casino nor employment is the right answer. It's all about choice and cost.
