Xiao Zhou is an accountant in a public institution. Xiao Zhou has loved dogs since she was a child. When she was in elementary school, her father brought back a fluffy Shih Tzu dog, which has since become her closest friend. In getting along with the dog, Xiao Zhou gradually became more patient and caring.

A few years ago, after she started working, she, who loves dogs, kept a Labrador puppy as a companion. Since getting Little Pudding, Xiao Zhou has taken him for a walk on the road near his home every morning and evening, and he has met many like-minded dog friends in the community.

One morning, while she was waiting for the elevator with her dog, she happened to meet her neighbor who was about to go out in a hurry. When her neighbor saw her getting ready to walk her dog, she asked her with embarrassment if she could also walk her golden retriever Lele. However, she had not taken Lele out for a walk for several days because she was too busy with work recently.

Lele and Little Pudding are good friends, and he also likes Lele very much. Xiao Zhou readily agreed without even thinking about it. In this way, Xiao Zhou began to help her neighbors walk their dogs. Unexpectedly, several "pet friends" who lived in the same community came to visit her, hoping that she could also help her walk their dogs. They also offered to pay monthly .

In this way, every morning and evening, there is an interesting scenery in the community. A tall and slender girl drags four or five dogs of different sizes and coats, which is as spectacular and beautiful as a military parade. style. Once, she was leading three large dogs and two small dogs by herself. She weighed only more than 90 kilograms and was dragged away. She almost had to go wherever the dogs wanted to go. When it was windy again, "I would It’s like a kite being flown by a dog,” Xiao Zhou said with a happy smile.

Xiao Zhou said that in fact, the job of a dog walker is not easy to do. On the one hand, it is hard work. Most of the time, you have to watch and prevent the dogs from chewing things and defecating randomly. Be more careful on the road. Once, when Xiao Zhou was walking on a crosswalk with several puppies, she was almost hit by a car that ran a red light. The driver not only refused to apologize but also cursed, which scared her and left the road quickly.

She currently has three or four dogs that she regularly walks, plus the ones that are occasionally entrusted to her temporarily. At most, she has to take six or seven dogs out at once, which is really hard for her to handle alone.

However, Xiao Zhou said that the reason why he became a dog walker was partly to find a part-time job to supplement his income during his spare time, and more importantly, out of his love for small animals.

Now, Xiao Zhou wants to find some like-minded friends through the Internet to organize a small group of dog walkers, hoping to help more owners who have no time and energy to take care of their pets share the work of dog walking, and also It allows more dogs to enjoy the joy of playing outdoors.

Chaochao’s favorite thing is all kinds of holidays. Weekends, Valentine's Day, and Singles' Day are the busiest times for Chaochao. However, he is not a salesperson in a shopping mall. He is an employee of a media company and is responsible for dealing with customers. But the second job we are going to talk about today is also far away. No advertising: he is just selling himself.

Chaochao is an active member in his circle of friends. He can know exactly where new shopping malls are opened, where new dishes are launched, where movies are cheap, and where there are group purchases for singing. But as a single man, he would sometimes feel anxious when facing a table with endless dishes while holding a group-buying coupon for two. One day, Chaochao was browsing Moments and saw a status message from a friend he was familiar with: I really want to eat Xiaoyu’s hot pot, but I’m too lazy to go alone. Is there anyone I can go with? Chaochao immediately replied: Let’s go out in the evening! The two of them made an appointment to have a hot pot meal together. During the dinner, my friend joked that it's not fun for you to sit around alone, so you might as well just eat with others from now on.

It was a joke from a friend, but Chaochao found it somewhat interesting. Then Chaochao posted this message on the city's Internet: Are you still feeling lonely and embarrassed because you can't find anyone to eat with? Professional accompaniment to meals can relieve a person's boredom and boredom.

Originally, he posted this advertisement as a half-joke. Unexpectedly, he received a call the next day. The other party was a girl who timidly asked him if it was true that he would accompany him to dinner. It was super She was very interested and said that of course it was true, so the two of them made an appointment to meet at a restaurant. After meeting the girl, she said she contacted him with the idea of ??giving it a try. She had just fallen out of love and couldn't find anyone to talk to, so she just wanted to have a meal and chat with a stranger, but she didn't expect it to be so reliable.

Boring, just enough people to have a buffet... There are various reasons for inviting him to dinner, and Chaochao also "tried" a lot of restaurants because of this job. He said that many people now are afraid of the loneliness and embarrassment of traveling alone. Sometimes when a person sits in a restaurant, he can seem to see other people looking at him strangely, so many people would rather find a stranger to accompany them and chat with them.

Once, he received a call. The other party was a boy, saying that he and his girlfriend were in a long-distance relationship. His girlfriend happened to be in the same city as Chaochao, and his girlfriend’s birthday was coming soon. He was here. Zuocheng didn't know any other friends, so he hoped that Chaochao could have a meal with his girlfriend on his behalf and send him a bouquet of flowers. Chaochao put down the phone and was a little touched. In this era when typing "I love you" on WeChat will fill the screen with roses, there are still people who insist on true love. Chaochao did not live up to the client's expectations and chose for him. The most beautiful roses successfully gave that girl a big birthday surprise.

There are countless examples of this that are either touching or "weird". Chaochao, who had a great time eating, said that he, who loves good food, not only had a tooth ceremony, but also made many friends through eating with him. As a young friend, I learned about many different lives, which was very interesting. Now he is also contemplating launching richer services such as watching movies and playing games together.

However, Chaochao said that the income from the catering business is actually not high, and he does not intend to make a fortune from this. He mainly wants to use this interesting way to pass the boring time after get off work, and at the same time Can make more friends.

Career planning, how to determine the direction.

First, personal knowledge system, try to choose an industry related to your personal major, with knowledge advantages, it is easier to integrate into the work environment. Everyone's development needs to stand on the basis of giants. Only in this way can we gather the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, stand tall in society, and derive new knowledge and skills. Giving up our personal knowledge system means that we need to invest more time in acquiring relevant knowledge.

Second, in terms of personality, we should have a clear understanding of ourselves, whether we are introverts or extroverts. It is easier for introverts to work in technology, and it is easier for extroverts to work in agencies or management.

Third, family, when choosing a job, you should consider family factors, seek family opinions, and obtain family support, especially after getting married and having children.

Fourth, communication and communicative skills. Communication and communicative skills are very important and need to be understood correctly. Those who are good at communication will choose agencies or management, and those who are not good at communication will choose technology.

Fifth, social environment, in the current world Internet era, demand is changing rapidly, industry competition is fierce, there is a lack of change within the system, which is relatively stable, and changes outside the system are very rapid, requiring strong adaptability.

Sixth, the prospects of the industry, which industries are more popular, which are relatively unpopular, or even declining, such as education. Education will see a large-scale invasion of capital in 2020. It looks like an era where money is everywhere, and the entire society is in a state of decline. In advocacy training classes, this is the crisis industry.

Seventh, the salary system. Companies with high salaries will naturally have a high position for you, the corporate culture will be very avant-garde, and personal development will be rapid.

The salary is low and there are many interview tricks. Please be cautious.

The above is suitable for most people, but it is not suitable for some people. For example, the subject is a person who cannot speak Mandarin in college. He is an introvert and has no enemies. What he is best at now is communication. He may not be very good at home. Speaking, there are no absolutes.
