给即将毕业大学生的忠告 (2007-6-2)

最近在招收实习生,目的是为了明年做人才储备。
电话面试了十几个人,在面试的过程中,发现很多当代大学生的求职时共同的问题。
主要表现在这么几个方面:
1、不知道自己真正想做什么

我经常问他们的一个问题就是,你觉得五年之后的今天,你会在做什么?很多人就很迷茫,我又缩小的时间长度,两年之后呢?一些人开始有了自己的想法,有的说会在技术领域做IT工程师等,有些仍旧保持迷茫。当然我在那个年纪也会很迷茫,现在回过头来看看这些年轻人,也会有同感并深深地理解。其实我也知道在20出头的年龄,能想清楚自己五年之后在做什么确实有点强人所难。但是我更希望知道的是这样的答案,五年之内还没有想清楚,两年之内我很清楚自己会在什么岗位发展,而且在一年之内我有一个很明确的计划等等。如果你是这样的毕业生,能够对任何一个面试官做出这样的回答。面试官会觉得你已经开始很成熟的考虑问题了。面试官是非常有经验的,他能理解你目前的状态和心态,不要夸大你的理想,也不要什么都不知道,说出你自己真正的想法和计划。

2、由于社会传统和文化的压力,提前改变自己的职业方向
这点经常出现在理工科专业的女大学生身上,我遇到无数次这样的毕业生,都遇到这样的问题。当我问完上面的问题后,很多女生会告诉我,自己以后不太想从事技术工作,但目前阶段由于专业的限制,为了找到工作,还是会在技术领域上。有些人还说一个女生做技术工作不太好,很累而且竞争不过男生。我问她为什么不好,有时候这个问题都懒得问,她的回答往往是家里也不认同,同学也都是觉得不好,加上自己也没有很多毅力和精力。我接着问她喜欢技术吗?让人感到欣慰的是,某些女生还是很喜欢做软件开发工作的,但是由于社会传统文化的影响,在几年后会改变自己的职业道路。虽然我不反对一个人去改变自己的职业方向,但是做出这样的决策,不应该在刚毕业的时候,而是应该在工作了几年之后,随着自己年龄和思维的成熟再做出一个更加成熟的决策。这些女大学生还没有开始工作就能做出以后肯定要改变自己的职业道路这个决策让我感到十分吃惊。她们认为,技术工作天生就不应该是女性从事的工作,自己由于高考志愿的问题,迫不得已才上了这个专业,但由于找工作没有办法,只能暂时委曲求全,以后肯定要改变。我所得知的在技术领域的女性虽然不是很多,但是还是有不少有名的女性在技术和物理化领域内取得很不错的成就,最著名的就是居里夫人,获得了诺贝尔奖,生了个女儿又获得一个。我很有幸看到在软件领域中还是有一些比较牛的女性,例如上次Sun公司给我们做外包项目,其中一个资深架构师就是一名女性,带领十多个男性的架构师做项目。微软中国,IBM都有很多女工程师,很多都是首席开发工程师。我们目前自己的团队中,也有很多女性在从事技术工作,其中一个女生的技术水平已经到达了很多男性望尘莫及的地步。但是这样的女性还是太少太少。看看中国现在的社会。女性所从事的工作基本上都是很基层的,不需要太多的逻辑思考和技术的,例如服务,销售,市场,前台接待,会计,出纳,秘书,编辑,记者,播音员,主持人,模特,服装设计等等,但往往在这些职业中,女性也没有达到一个登峰造极的地方,很多这些领域中的大牛往往是男性。例如很多人说女性烧菜煮饭很拿手,但是往往顶级的厨师都是男性,女性十分爱美,但是很多世界级的服装设计师都是男性,像华伦天奴等,连黛安芬的老板都是男人。不知道只是中国存在这样的现象,还是世界各个国家都有,但至少女性在社会当中往往不自然地处在一个下风,是一个弱势群体。我是一个鼓励男女在各个层面,方面都平等的人,所以女大学生们,建议去看一下财富这样的杂志,世界100强公司很多都是女性CEO,所以不要轻易改变自己喜欢的东西,坚持下去,最关键的不是你是学什么的,而是是否能够坚持,可能下一个诺贝尔经济学,数学奖就是你的。
3、知其然而不知其所以然。
不仅是刚毕业的大学生,工作做几年的人也会有这样的问题,这个不是年龄所导致的问题,而是学习,解决事情的方法而导致的问题。每每问到一些问题时,很多人都说用过,但是如果我更加深入的问下去,这个到底是什么东西,是一种工具,一种框架,还是一种协议或规范,这个第三方的API包主要是如何实现这个功能的,它的大致的逻辑是什么?如果让你来写这个功能,你的思路是怎么样的?很多人会在我这些问题下崩溃。主要的原因是他们只是用过,但没有深究过。就和我们大多数人用过Outlook一样,但大多数人不知道Outlook后面实现了SMTP和POP3协议,才能够进行收发邮件,对于一般用户来说,只要知道OutLook是怎么用的就可以了。但是作为一个应聘技术工程师的人,你一定要去考虑,如果让我来开发一个能实现Outlook一样功能的软件,我如何着手,隐藏在这个工具的工作原理是什么。只有去探究这些,掌握了一些技术的真正原理,你才能成为一名好的工程师,而这些品质和精神不是每个人都具备的,往往是个性所致或者是长期良好的思维方式训练所致的。所以为什么浙大的学生比某些二,三流学校的学生要好,就是这个道理,浙大,清华,北航,西电在培养学生如何思维这个能力上还是不错的,虽然说和美国,日文,英国这些国家的大学机构比起来还是有很大差距。无论你被导师拉去做什么项目,无论你在实验室做什么实验,不仅要以结果为导向,更要注重整个过程,去深究每一个细节,多问问为什么,长期下来,你会拥有一个具有非常强壮思维能力的大脑。
希望即将毕业的大学生们能够看到这些衷心的建议,国家的未来是你们的,好好地面对自己的人生。你们的价值不在于向社会索取什么,而是向社会奉献什么!
祝你们好运!
