Interviews with Career Figures of College Students: Stick to Faith and Move Forward Indifferently.

Interview with college students' career figures: stick to your faith and move forward calmly

I was really confused when I learned that the content of this assignment was to interview a classmate who had already worked according to my career goals. First, because I know fewer people at this stage, and second, my interpersonal communication skills are still immature. When I was overwhelmed by this matter, I suddenly thought of him, the senior who came to exchange experiences with us at the beginning of freshman year-Wumengda.

Wu Mengda, a 26 journalism major at the School of Literature and Communication, has been hired by the Guangzhou Branch of Xinhua News Agency as a reporter.

Face-to-face "interview with people" may be a familiar concept for most people, but it may not be a process that they have experienced personally. People interview focuses on communication and coordination with others, and it is really a big test for ordinary people to dig out what you want to know as much as possible.

I am a student majoring in advertising, but I am more interested in journalism, and my future career direction is also intended to develop into journalism and media. Therefore, my interviewee chose Wu Mengda, an outstanding senior majoring in journalism in Grade 6 who belongs to the College of Communication.

For the first time, I had an independent face-to-face interview. At first, my nervousness was hard to hide, but with the gradual progress of the interview, I found that Brother Wu was a very peaceful person, and the nervousness gradually became relaxed.

While many prospective graduates are running around for work, Wumengda has got a satisfactory job. He has been hired by the Guangzhou Branch of Xinhua News Agency with excellent results and has become a reporter of the agency. In fact, when he saw the recruitment information on Xinhuanet, he was already reviewing for the postgraduate entrance examination, but he decided to give it a try, so he submitted a resume to the recruiting unit and successfully entered the written test. Shortly after the written test, he received an interview notice. After that, he received an internship notice from Guangzhou Branch, where he successfully completed the tasks of "interview on the same topic", "interview on selected topics" and interview, and finally became a reporter from Guangzhou Branch of Xinhua News Agency with the first place in written test, interview and internship among competitors from Tsinghua, Peking University, National People's Congress and China Communications University.

As graduation approaches, he has written his graduation thesis, and now he is waiting for graduation to work in Guangzhou. When asked about the specific content of this job, Brother Wu said that he only knows that he is a reporter now, and the basic work that journalists have to do is naturally indispensable. The specific other work content can only be known after Guangzhou.

I asked him what basic knowledge, skills and experience he should have in journalism. He modestly said that he had no experience yet, and he could only talk about what he knew. Brother Wu paused and said, "If you want to take the road of TV and newspaper in the future, writing, internship and school grades are very important. Writing ability is the foundation of journalism, and your writing and thinking should meet the requirements of this industry. Internship is also a very important part, and news work units attach great importance to internship experience, so they must let themselves go to internships more during their college years, preferably to newspapers and TV stations. The professional performance during the university must be good, and it is impossible for the employer to recruit a person with average professional performance. "

"Is it very difficult for a person who is not a journalism major like me to engage in journalism?" I asked. Brother Wu Mengda thought about it and said, "Many news organizations really value whether you are a journalism major or not when recruiting, but as long as you are willing to work hard, have internship experience and publish some press releases and academic articles, you will also have an advantage."

I asked again, "What newspapers and magazines can I usually use to learn about the news field and improve my news literacy?" He said, "By the way, this is worth telling you. Do you usually watch Southern Weekend?" I replied, "Look, I watch almost every issue." He added: "Southern Weekend is a good newspaper and can be read as a magazine. In addition, Phoenix Weekly, Lookout and Reading are all worth reading. You can also go to the forums of Phoenix.com, People.com, Lianhe Zaobao and CNN to read the above articles. There are magazines in the school library. Just go to the library and read them. You don't have to spend money to buy them yourself. "

When asked whether journalism requires much personality, Senior Wu Mengda said, "There are certain requirements. You must be good at communicating with others and have strong communication skills. Of course, people with this personality are not necessarily extroverts. Some people are introverted, but they can listen to others, let others talk as much as possible, and dig out what they want to interview. " I said that I belong to a more introverted person. He said, "Then you should take part in more activities during college, show yourself in front of your classmates and gradually improve your character."

When I said that I wanted to take a cross-disciplinary examination for journalism graduate students, I asked him if it was too late to start reviewing in my junior year. He said: "If you have decided that you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you can start preparing now, but you don't have to be deliberate. For example, you can listen to journalism classes and read some journalism books when you are free. But now there is a saying that postgraduate entrance examination is not as good as postgraduate study. Postgraduate entrance examination is not like many people working side by side for a goal in the college entrance examination, but a person working alone for a goal, leaving early and returning late, and it is very difficult to persist. So now you try to learn the course well and strive for research. "

In addition, he also told me some successful experiences and deeds of his classmates, including work, postgraduate study, successful postgraduate entrance examination and so on.

At the end of the interview, Brother Wumengda said, "I hope what I said can give you some inspiration and help. Please come to me at any time if you have any questions, while I am still at school." I smiled and replied, "These words from my senior will certainly be of great help to me. Thank you very much!"

after the interview, I returned to my dormitory. I carefully sorted out the interview contents of the day and carefully recalled every detail my senior brother said. As my senior brother said, in fact, no matter how difficult it is to pursue a cross-major career or take the postgraduate entrance examination, as long as you can stick to your beliefs, work hard to do what you like, and prepare for the opportunity, you can move forward calmly on the road of chasing your dreams until you succeed! ;
