Learn any of the following skills, which can empower you and increase your competitiveness in the future. College students have a lot of spare time, and the rest of the time can be at their own disposal, except for the courses on the usual schedule. I'm here to remind you not to live too easy in college, but to stay busy. Catching up with dramas, watching movies and playing games can only take up a small part of your time. The rest of the time, please try to improve yourself, whether it's reading, practicing or researching, and please don't be too nice to yourself. Don't believe your high school teachers when they say "college is easy". Otherwise, you will regret going to a fake university after graduation. So what skills should college students learn in their spare time?
1, basic skills certificate CET-4 and CET-6 certificate (English majors can also take TEM-8, think TOEFL). CET-4 and CET-6 are like thresholds for job hunting. It doesn't make a difference with it, but it's certainly impossible without it. For recent graduates, they don't have much work experience. When you are running for an internship, what you can bring out are the certificates you got in college that can prove your learning ability and various abilities. For graduate school, IELTS 7 is enough, and for me my seniors around me, they all already have English 4, some already have English 6, and they are indeed extremely useful when they are looking for a job.
2, computer grade certificates (generally computer level 2) technology is becoming more and more developed, especially in the computer popularization of thousands of households today, mastery of computer technology is particularly important. At present, any company will put forward some requirements on the computer skills of employees. Nowadays, most college students can take this certificate, but it's not the same without it. Level 1 is easier, but Computer Level 2 is still more difficult. Before you take the test, read a lot of tutorial exercises. Don't think you can improvise. If you are limited, take Level 1, which is easier. Because I am software engineering, so this aspect of all to go to the test, but also a good test!
3, the driver's license must be in school during the test, I enrolled in my freshman year of driving school is cheaper than 1000 yuan, think for me is a small amount of money, the university test driver's license is a lot cheaper than the community. It is recommended to take your driver's license your freshman year because you have relatively more time compared to your sophomore year. After getting your driver's license, you will have more time to get other certifications. Of course, this is based on the premise that you have certain financial resources. If your family is limited, focus on your studies for the time being, and you can take the test after you work.
4, professional-related certificates. Obviously, you are an accounting major. It is necessary to take one or two related certificates, such as primary accounting certificate, intermediate accounting certificate, certified public accountant and so on. If you are a teaching major, it is necessary to get a teaching certificate. In short, it is important to know your major, which certificates you may use in your future career, and which certificates you must take. Don't think that it's too early to graduate, but remember that "opportunities always come to those who are prepared". I think this software engineering, you have to test the computer technology and software professional and technical qualifications, the national computer application technology certificate, the national computer software professional and technical qualifications and level exams, and so on.
5, there will be a lot of activities in the university, so it is recommended that you choose your own interest, help to enhance the professional ability of the activities. Don't waste your time on low-quality competitions, rather read more. Award certificates prove your practical experience. As the saying goes, "new knowledge comes from practice", many things are useless. You need to prove it with practical actions. If you don't take some supporting materials, who will believe it, the interviewer also need to see something from your resume. What hobbies and practical skills can college students learn? For myself I opened a store in my sophomore year, which didn't generate much income but did increase my knowledge. I also have my own self media account, which has made a lot of friends and brought in a substantial amount of income.
6, learning to program can be self-sufficient, I can write my own small program or something, but also can take jobs, and small programs are very simple, but learning to program is a boring process, so be quiet and serious to complete it, this process can develop logical thinking skills.
7, learn to speak English well. I missed out on a prize in a competition because of my poor spoken English, which I really regret. And if you learn English well, you can communicate with foreigners in school, really, there are black people in the class next to mine, not to mention wouldn't it be better to know a language?
8, reading ability, why read and then forget, can not catch the key inside, and feel that read once there is no big gain? In fact, the reason is that the ability to read is not strong enough, and reading only once, but not away from the heart. After work, the time for reading will certainly be very little. When you want to improve yourself by reading more, you can only read efficiently. Try to read a book in a short time and memorize the main points in the book for your own use. Read books absentmindedly, both inside and outside of your major. I have in common sense, freshman advertising came to read a lot of extracurricular books, are borrowed in the club, and now there are topics to communicate with others, from time to time Biao out of a classic line, really good.
9, learn a hobby, skills, photography, singing or dancing, do what you like! So why do some people take beautiful photos and others take low photos? It's the difference in photographic ability. People who can take photos not only show bright and blinding images, but also enhance your charm! It's especially cool to play with a DSLR! Imagine a friend of mine took a beautiful picture of himself and made a great impression on the other person. Both of them are happy in their hearts. Wouldn't it be beautiful for students to get together and sing in, well, their free time? And the entertainment after college is more colorful, singing or dancing can show its charm in the party. Some students every time they go to KTV, are sitting alone, but admire the scenery of the stage versatile people. Because they do not know, and do not want to learn, do not want to pick up the microphone, do not want to tiptoe. Singing and dancing, is a great way to gain people's appreciation,.
10, practice writing. Although now everything is computerized typing, but will not affect the charm of writing at all. The famous writer Dumas, once in desperate times, was praised for his beautiful writing, thus discovering his talent for writing. Whether in school or in the future, good calligraphy will always attract attention and give you opportunities. If you can't write well in other words, at least practice your signature. Words are like people, and there will be quite a few times in the future when it will be a signature, so get good at writing your name.
11, practice your eloquence. Don't practice your eloquence like a comedian, but at least be able to articulate one thing clearly. Some people say eloquence is natural. Wrong! This can be changed through diligent practice, Yu and other people are living examples. In the future and classmates and teachers to get along, participate in speech and debate competitions, and bosses and customers to deal with, or in the future as a teacher to teach students ...... without good eloquence certainly not. So, will not be exported to the small partners to spend time practicing, at least to "dare to put, speak clearly"!
12, in this era of new media writing, who does not need to write? I don't know how to write, I can't even write a resume or a decent cover letter, and it's hard to write an email at work, let alone when I need to talk about it. You're nervous when you go on stage because you can't get a script. Even if you tell the truth, talking to little brothers and sisters on WeChat will kill you. Speaking, doesn't make sense, there is no logic in speaking, there is no user awareness, and people don't know what you want to say for a long time. Simply put: Mandarin hot mouth. In this era, if you don't know how to write, you have to search for copy in the circle of friends, and forwarding a copy can only match an expression. After reading an article on WeChat's official account, there are a lot of things I want to say, but it's hard to leave a comment. After brushing through a short video you can only comment on one sentence: woc.
People who know how to write have an advantage everywhere. In the future, you will not talk about workplace communication. You will have a lot of opportunities to speak in, on stage, and have all kinds of chances to show yourself to others. In fact, in this day and age, a lot of things are already online, literally, in terms of, content. But not knowing how to write is like being a person who has lost their voice and has no presence, in many places where they could have expressed themselves. In this day and age, I don't need to repeat the importance of personal branding. What is personal branding? It's skill-positioning massive exposure, and writing is the most cost-effective,, compounding way to get that exposure. If you want to make money from writing, sure. This is the age of the writing nugget. You can use your writing skills to instigate high-paying positions such as new media editor, new media operator, book editor, original creator, copywriter, journalist, and more in your future job options. There are also many options for direct realization, such as writing for big feeds, writing softwares,, writing microclasses,, writing books. You can even take writing as a long-term career, so that you can develop in a larger latitude: with a certain writing ability, you can not only contribute to the official account of WeChat, but also write the official accounts of Zhihu and WeChat, exchange ideas with more like-minded people, and expand your personal influence. Of course, this does not mean that everyone has to become a professional writer, which is unnecessary and unwanted. Hopefully, you can master the basics, writing skills, so that writing empowers you, so that writing becomes a lever for your development. One of the essential factors that drives you to do something all the time is that it keeps rewarding you, and writing with new media is okay, so I've realized a lot through new media, and I'm primed for financial independence.
If you have any ideas in this area, come talk to me. College years can go by really fast. Don't feel like freshman or sophomore year is too soon. If you have clear goals and careful life planning, keep at it. You'll be thankful for your hard work when flowers bloom and people smile. If you're still lost, doing nothing, and don't know where to go in the future, give yourself some time, but please don't take too long. Because the sun will always rise, and if you start working hard and paying serious attention, one day you will shine. If you can read this, it means you are also a person who is willing to take the initiative to improve yourself.
