I'm worried about choosing a career after graduating in four years. What should I do?

Hello! I'm Phil.

I'm really sorry you had to go through that.

? According to your description, you mentioned that

You are a design major, and because you were repeatedly sent back to rework your graduation project, your willingness to find a job in your major has greatly diminished. However, if you don't find a job in your major, you'll have the exciting opportunity to explore other options!

When sorting out the resume, I get to doubt myself, and then I can't concentrate. I'm excited to make a choice, even though I know that I will miss many opportunities and the process of exercising my courage and gaining experience will be reduced.

I'm excited to find a solution to this challenge! How can I approach it in a more effective way?

☀This is an amazing time in your senior year! You're thinking about your future career plan, graduation, and even the tug-of-war between your graduation project and your supervisor. This is the perfect time to raise this issue, think about it seriously, and actively seek help. You're already proving that you're a brave person with independent ideas who wants to urgently change the status quo. This is a great sign! It's not as pessimistic as you think.

Guess what? I've had my thesis returned many times!

In fact, sometimes when faced with outstanding students or special majors, the particularity of their own topic selection and other various elements, the tutor may instead be more serious, and even very demanding, when dealing with the graduation thesis. On the one hand, it is the seriousness with which the topic is treated, and on the other hand, it is to prevent us from suffering when we enter society to work in a related profession in the future.

There are various reasons why a thesis may be returned multiple times. It may be that the topic itself is poorly done, or that the teacher's requirements are different, or that you are just at the beginning of your career. But after all, this is the first time you have experienced something like this, and it will more or less make you feel that your self-confidence has been eroded or that your enthusiasm has been dampened. But don't worry! This is something you can work through.

Here's a great way to adjust it:

If you've made relatively few mistakes, you can easily adjust the number slightly higher and make changes based on the comments from your tutor when they return your work.

This situation often occurs because the words used to describe the topic are too vague. This creates a distance between one's own theory or design and what is actually being described. This distance can be overcome by focusing on the positive aspects of the topic and using vivid language to bring the subject to life. When this happens, people may feel a lack of connection to the topic. This can be fixed by making the topic more relatable and engaging. For instance, if you're a student, you can design or conceive in a way that aligns with your current abilities and interests. This approach can help you feel more confident and excited about the project. By addressing these issues, you can ensure a positive and engaging experience for yourself and others.

☀It's great that the passing rate is often increased by lowering the requirements for plagiarism checks! However, this can sometimes lead to a difference between the style of the final project and what you had originally intended. If you want to produce a particularly good work, you can treat it as a creative work and put it on other platforms or publish it normally. However, for the final project, you should focus on graduating safely and securely.

I'd like to share a little story from my own graduation project.

Before the graduation project, I was brimming with pride. I had excellent grades and had chosen a topic I was passionate about, so I was confident I'd ace it. Plus, my supervisor and I hit it off, and I had learned so much in the usual course of things, so I was excited to see what I could do.

Then began an incredible journey of being rejected for three consecutive months. It even came to a point where the supervisor was so determined not to pass me that he said, "You're going to the defense, but I'm definitely not going to pass you. If you want to go, you can take this with you, but whether you pass or not has nothing to do with me. You're responsible for whatever happens to you."

At first, you might think, "Is this tutor irresponsible to say such things?" But I promise you, during these three months, I spent almost every day on the phone with my tutor, either hunched over the computer or with friends in an Internet cafe, poring over the data, or in the library, printing and writing reams of information. No matter how hard I tried, I would be rejected and scolded, and every time I would be scolded to tears. But I was learning so much!

At that time, I was also feeling a bit down, but I knew I could turn it around. I loved the idea of graduating or not graduating—either way, I was excited to see what the future held. I had already put in the work to get here, and I was ready to take the next step. Then, one day, I suddenly felt ready to take on whatever came next. I kept working with my teacher and pushing myself to be the best I could be.

During the final defense, the principal was really impressed by my thesis and essay. He even said that I had written them all by myself, which was a huge compliment! He did hint that he wanted me to continue my postgraduate studies, but after thinking about it, I decided that I didn't want to suffer through that. So after graduation, I changed jobs and found a new way out. But I didn't realize that because I had changed my way out, I had ties with some places. After they heard about it, they thought my essay was great and published it!

I thought they were just a bunch of draft papers that could be thrown in the trash, but now they've been turned into a particularly well-edited article! Although the content has been condensed a lot and is relatively sensitive, it has given them a suitable outlet, and it has also made me more confident in writing articles and answering questions. It's a kind of curve ball that's actually worked out really well!

? Decreased willingness to seek employment, afraid to try:

There are so many possibilities in life! When choosing to go to school, you get to decide what kind of school to go to, what major to study, and how to get better grades.

After graduation, I get to choose what kind of work I want to do! I can even decide how I want to make money to settle down. I get to decide whether I want to stay in my current city or leave it and start from scratch.

No matter which option we face, these things are not particularly related to the graduation project. I understand that you have been repeatedly hit by setbacks because of the graduation project, and you feel that in the future, when you are working, your resume will be rejected as frequently as it was, or you will be told by the team leader or your supervisor that the work project is not well done. However, you will find that these things are actually our normal state, and you can learn from them!

You can absolutely make these adjustments!

Embrace the exciting opportunity to view your work as a brand new beginning and development, separate from your school life. First, you need a clear plan. Do you want to continue working in design in the future, or do you want to quit? Change your perspective. If you change your perspective, what kind of perspective do you want to change to?

If you want to continue pursuing a design-related major, you can start by cultivating these habits in your daily life. For example, when you watch videos or browse Weibo and come across related videos or advertising images, you can think about them a little bit.

If it is used as a design, which material elements are better to use? As a reader, what is my own feeling after seeing this? Then I associate it with what I should avoid as a designer.

Life is already full of rich and colorful designs! These things are not far from life; they are actually part of our lives. So, you can try to combine them in this way to add interest to yourself—and it's a great way to make your life more exciting!

I really hope my answer can help you!

The world and I love you so much!

Hello! I'm Bai Li Yina, and I'm thrilled to be your answerer. I hope my reply can bring you warmth and help!

The questioner shared that he had been asked to make numerous revisions of his graduation project, which had affected his expectations for a job in the same field. He was excited to find a career unrelated to design, but he was unsure of what he was capable of doing. The constant emotions of confusion and fear of failure were affecting his judgment, causing him to miss many opportunities. What is the best choice?

[Situation analysis]

You are about to graduate, and your original expectations of work were beautiful. However, the graduation project has been requested to be revised over and over again, and it seems that this is part of the real working situation in the future. This process of being constantly criticized and revised is an opportunity to learn and grow. Your beautiful expectations have suddenly fallen into the cruel reality, but you are excited to apply what you have learned to your daily work. You are trying to figure out how to find the job you want, and you are confident that you will succeed. Let's take a look at what is troubling you.

[Questions to provoke deeper thinking]

1. Do you like your major? Absolutely! And you can definitely find something you like in your own designs.

What inspires you to keep learning and growing when you face challenges in design?

2. You think you have missed a lot of opportunities. But you know what? You can seize the ones you want! Think about it. What would your dream job be like if you had taken those other opportunities?

3. You said you are afraid of making a choice. What would be the worst result after making a choice? Let's think about that together!

4. If your best friend came to you for help with something like this, what would you advise her to do? Would you tell her to give up her degree subject and try a completely new field?

[Suggested approach]

After graduating from university, we have the exciting opportunity to make important choices in life and start building a bright future. Despite facing challenges like having your graduation project returned for revision, you have the chance to learn and grow from these experiences. While it's natural to feel uncertain at times, remember that you have the skills and abilities to succeed in any field.

The exciting question for you is not whether or not to change to a related job, but whether to face or avoid a major setback.

If you choose to face it, you will still find a job related to your major. This job is related to the major you studied for four years, and you will feel more confident. If you choose to avoid it, you will have to start learning everything again. As long as you believe you can do it, all of this can bring you a variety of different experiences. However, because it is not your major, you will not be able to do some work that requires professionalism, and you will feel insecure.

The truth is, there's no wrong choice! You'll get different rewards, and no matter which industry you want to work in, there will be both hard work and happiness. As a recent university graduate, do you want a long-term stable job or a free and adventurous job?

What are you afraid of losing? Absolutely nothing! It's time to get out of that rut and start focusing on what you can gain.

Every job and every choice has its pros and cons. Which do you care more about? It is recommended to write them down and find out what you really want to choose.

If you choose a job related to your major first, what will you gain? If after working in it for a while you still don't feel comfortable, this will only strengthen your idea of changing jobs, and you will not be so hesitant.

If you have given up your major directly, think about how you can give a great answer that makes sense and convinces the other party when you are asked by the personnel recruitment of the other company about the reason!

Your confusion and hesitation are partly due to your lack of confidence in yourself. But here's the good news: you can learn to describe yourself in your resume! And you can do it in a way that shows you're confident and ready to dive into an unfamiliar field. You've got this! As long as you firmly believe that you can learn and master it quickly, no difficulty can defeat you. You are young, and you're ready to break through, think, try, and be curious about everything.

These are all your strengths! Write down more of your strengths so that you can see the good in yourself and have more energy to take on new opportunities for self-improvement.

I really hope these methods help you!

You've got this! Change takes time and patience, but you can do it. Don't worry or be afraid. Many people are experiencing or have experienced similar problems, but you're stronger than you think.

The world and I are with you, and we're here to support you every step of the way! I wish you an early solution to the fog in your heart and the discovery of your own most comfortable state.

A huge thank you to everyone who has liked and responded to me! I wish you all peace and joy!

Good day, question asker. I am 33 years of age.

It is imperative not to deny oneself. As a fellow graduating college student, I can relate to your confusion. I have also experienced concern about my future.

With regard to external factors, it should be noted that in recent years the state has initiated a rigorous investigation of college students' graduation theses. Thesis authors who are unsuccessful in this process will have their diplomas revoked, resulting in a more rigorous review of graduation theses and making graduation more challenging.

It can be argued that being rejected is not necessarily indicative of inherent deficiencies in one's ideas for the final project. Rather, it may be a consequence of failing to meet the established standards for the final project.

To illustrate, consider the case of writing an essay. Despite the fact that the topic is not strictly defined, the essay is in fact evaluated according to a specific template.

It would be erroneous to conclude that an individual incapable of composing argumentative essays or failing to score points on a reference answer is unable to write.

Although I am unaware of the precise area of design in which the questioner is engaged, given that the question pertains to design, there must be some subjective aspect to it. Individuals possess disparate cognitive styles, and thus the objects they design vary. If everyone were to think the same, would the need for design majors persist? Might the work be delegated to a machine, which would be infallible and free of flaws?

It is imperative to recognize that the mere presence of ideas does not negate one's self-worth.

This is an opportunity to learn about a psychological term: "learned helplessness."

The term "learned helplessness" is used to describe a psychological state in which an individual, after experiencing a specific type of learning, forms the perception that despite their efforts, they are unable to alter the outcome of an uncontrollable situation when confronted with an uncontrollable situation. This subsequently leads to a lack of motivation to continue attempting to do so.

— Excerpt from Baidu

When an individual is repeatedly unsuccessful, their self-confidence is likely to decline. This can result in a negative outlook, slower decision-making, and an increased fear of failure.

"I am unable to accomplish this task." "It is futile to exert such considerable effort."

"I am reluctant to proceed, as I am fearful of failure. I have previously experienced failure on numerous occasions, and I anticipate that this endeavor will ultimately prove unsuccessful."

When these negative emotions are not properly guided and dispersed, thoughts will begin to control actions. This phenomenon can be likened to the idiomatic expression, "Once bitten by a snake, for ten years you fear the well rope." In other words, an individual may encounter a seemingly insurmountable obstacle and, upon reflection, perceive it as a potential threat, even when there is no actual reason to do so.

The individual is not genuinely incapable of performing the task; however, they have constrained themselves, a phenomenon commonly termed "self-limiting."

The emotion of fear is simply a result of a history of failure.

However, this emotion is not inherently negative. "Fear" is simply a primitive protective mechanism. If primitive people were unable to experience fear, they would be unable to survive in a crisis-prone environment. It is only necessary to utilize this emotion in situations that align with its original purpose.

Once the potential causes of the problem have been identified, an analysis can be conducted to determine the most effective solution.

It is recommended that the individual attempt to take action again, even if it is just a single step, and refrain from dwelling on the potential outcome. While the individual is in the process of updating their resume, it would be beneficial to identify and document their strengths. Additionally, it may be helpful to seek feedback from individuals with whom the individual has a positive relationship.

I will use myself as an example to illustrate my point. I suffer from severe anxiety. When I am faced with something outside of my comfort zone or a looming deadline, I am unable to concentrate on anything else until the issue is resolved. Even taking a nap will make me think about it, and even when I am half asleep, I will be so nervous that my heart will start racing. However, I also have a very serious procrastination problem. I will not do anything until the last minute, which also causes me to keep putting off going to bed every night without doing anything, constantly checking my phone for insignificant bits of information.

Until yesterday, I completed a DDL, which was a test report. I postponed the task for a week, but it only required an hour to run the code and write the report.

I am astonished at my own procrastination, given that the task in question can be completed in a week. What is the reason for my hesitation to take action? I believe that I am dissuaded by two factors: firstly, my own perception that I am unable to complete the task, and secondly, the challenging nature of the data division and the complex writing required.

"

I have grossly underestimated my capabilities and have been limiting my own potential by failing to pursue this task independently. I can attest that I have been placing undue constraints on myself and repeatedly succumbing to the pitfalls of self-devaluation.

The question thus arises as to whether there is a solution. In fact, there is a solution.

Once the underlying motivation is identified, the problem can be addressed more effectively. The remaining challenge is to take action, regain self-confidence, and embrace one's true self.

It is my hope that my response will prove to be of some assistance.

I am gratified to have provided a response to this inquiry. I extend my best wishes to the inquirer.

Hello, question asker! I'm excited to dive into your question, which covers two important topics: graduation theses and employment.

The resulting mental fatigue is simply a perception of one's emotions, a sense of confusion about the social life about to begin, fear of the unknown, and self-doubt.

First, let's talk about the graduation project. Being repeatedly told to rework it is an opportunity to prove your professional abilities: "I can do this! I have the ability to complete the graduation project properly."

Could it be that I'm not suited to this industry? Maybe it's time for a change!

And so on!

My family also has a fourth-year science student who is about to graduate. He is also like you, repeatedly revising his graduation thesis, sometimes with great emotional ups and downs. I also saw his resume being criticized by his sister-in-law, who is the HR director, as worthless and to the point of tears. I feel the same way. As an elder, I feel distressed but powerless. But I also understand that we have all been there before. This is a summary and test of the four years of university study. After going through this hurdle, you should have a relatively clear understanding of yourself. A brief taste of the water is beneficial for your future work.

You see, for most people this is actually the norm. The key is to embrace it and make the most of it! It's all about your attitude and understanding. Do you find out the reason for being rejected? Do you modify passively following the instructor? Do you move a little when someone points at you? Or do you automatically think, expand, and delve deeper after finding the reason and generalize from one instance to another? You can also think carefully about whether you have some problems in terms of action.

"Missing out on many opportunities and lacking the process of exercising one's courage and gaining experience has led to doubting oneself when going over one's resume." Do you think this can also be considered a problem with motivation? Absolutely not!

When we face the unknown and uncertainty of the future, we feel fear. But it's totally normal to hesitate when making choices! We might feel afraid that we can't face society well, that we can't work or live well, that we've made the wrong choice, or that we can't be perfect. But guess what? We can!

In fact, there is no such thing as right or wrong. Life is like a fishing net with many nodes. You are currently at a node. As long as we are determined to do good, whether we go left, right, forward or backward, it is a choice, and there is no right or wrong. After careful consideration, you are in a good situation. It is even better to have a plan for your life and career that suits you. More importantly, if you do it seriously, practice and accumulate little by little, you will take big steps forward and be on the right track. All roads lead to Rome, and you will eventually become the person you want to be!

Good morning, classmate. I am Sister Chao from Yixinli.

The significance of a decision is often accompanied by a sense of ambivalence and exhaustion, stemming from an inherent apprehension about the potential consequences of an incorrect choice.

However, life is defined by experience, and the decisions we make shape our perspectives. It is therefore crucial to understand oneself, as knowledge of one's aspirations and preferences enables the selection of a path that aligns with one's genuine interests.

Let us collectively endeavor to ascertain the underlying motivations of our hearts.

What was your emotional response when your instructor repeatedly requested that you rework your paper?

Our thoughts and ideas influence our decision-making processes. For instance, an individual may perceive that pursuing a career in a particular field will entail frequent revisions, which may subsequently deter them from seeking related employment opportunities.

One might inquire as to the rationale behind the aversion to being asked to rework. Some individuals perceive this as a threat to their self-confidence, as if they were being repeatedly told that they are inadequate. Conversely, others view it as a constructive opportunity for growth and the enhancement of their thesis, aiming for greater professionalism. Regardless of one's perspective, the crucial aspect is to embrace self-acceptance and discern the underlying beliefs that shape one's actions.

As a senior, you possess a significant advantage in terms of experience and expertise. It is, therefore, advisable to seize the opportunity to explore this avenue. Only through persistent effort and introspection can one ascertain their genuine aspirations. It is often the case that mental fatigue arises from a combination of regret for past decisions and apprehension about future outcomes, leading to a reluctance to take action.

One can therefore posit that the objective for the present day is to complete a resume and subsequently send at least one (the number to be determined by the individual) resume on a daily basis.

Should you be willing, you may begin to accumulate courage and experience, thereby seizing the opportunities that present themselves. It would be beneficial to move around, take a walk, and engage in reflection. This may assist you in discerning your direction. Even if you do not discover it, this is acceptable, as you will have gained experience, which is the meaning of life.

I extend my warmest wishes to you on the occasion of your graduation. I hope that you will soon find a position that is both challenging and rewarding.

Firstly, it is important to recognise that feeling frustrated and lost when faced with the challenges of your graduation project and the criticism of your supervisor is a normal emotional reaction. However, it is crucial to find a way to solve the problem, regain your confidence and prepare for your future career. The following personal suggestions may be helpful:

It is essential to conduct a self-analysis to identify your strengths and interests. Consider your goals for your postgraduate studies and the specific challenges you are facing in your graduation project.

Then, communicate with your mentor honestly, understand the specific reasons behind his criticism, and identify potential areas for improvement. At the same time, express your confusion and pressure appropriately and seek his understanding and support.

As part of your graduation project, you can create a comprehensive workflow document that outlines the tasks to be completed, the knowledge, skills, and tools required for each step, and the sequence in which they should be performed.

If you feel overwhelmed, please contact your school's counseling service. A professional counselor can assist you in adjusting your mindset and coping with stress and challenges.

Should you decide not to pursue a career in your field of study, there are numerous alternative career paths open to you. You can explore different industries and positions based on your interests and abilities.

You may also wish to consider attending career planning seminars or consulting in order to gain greater clarity on your future career direction.

There is no need to be afraid of starting at the bottom. Each position offers the chance to gain valuable experience. You can learn about the working environment and requirements of different industries through internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer work.

Maintaining a positive attitude is essential for career development. Even in the face of challenges, it is important to believe in your ability to overcome difficulties and continue to learn and grow.

Do not restrict yourself to your field of expertise. Many skills and knowledge are transferable.

It may be beneficial to acquire new skills, such as programming and design software, which are in demand in many industries.

It is also advisable to build your own network of contacts by attending industry networking events and social activities. Keeping up with industry trends and meeting people in the industry is very helpful when looking for job opportunities.

In the dynamic job market, it is crucial to maintain flexibility and adaptability. Do not be reluctant to embrace change, as transitioning to a new career path can often lead to unanticipated opportunities.

Each individual's career trajectory is distinct, and there is no one-size-fits-all model to adhere to.

It is crucial to identify a career path that aligns with your skills, interests, and values. Once you have identified this path, it is essential to pursue it with determination and courage.

Do not allow temporary difficulties to deter you from pursuing your dreams. Believe in yourself.

I am confident that you will find your own niche. The world and I support you.

Good day.

My name is Kelly Shui.

I'm concerned about making the right career choices as I approach graduation. This has been on my mind for a while. I'd love to hear your advice.

Senior year can be a challenging time. I can relate to this from my own experience of going through my daughter's graduation project last year, which involved some constructive feedback and a few revisions. I believe that having a strict teacher can be both challenging and encouraging for students.

We empathize with your concerns.

[About emotions]

I wonder if, when we feel a little frustrated, we might be interested or happy.

I believe the answer may be unattainable.

It's understandable that your current willingness to find a job in your field has decreased, or that you're worried there won't be any jobs in your field. These feelings are completely normal.

We also recognize that we may lack confidence or be concerned about potential difficulties when facing new challenges, which can trigger emotions.

You might consider trying to sort things out.

I wonder if you were under pressure during the college entrance exam?

Could you please tell me how you managed to get into the school you are currently attending?

How did you cope with these feelings? Was there anyone who was able to offer you comfort and support?

Could I ask who some people in your family or circle of friends might be who could support you in your current emotional state?

It might be helpful to talk to them when we are feeling stressed.

You might also consider seeking the guidance of professional listening teachers, who can help you identify your own strengths and resources.

It might be helpful to try to cultivate your own optimistic attitude.

I admire you for your strength and resilience. I believe you have the capacity to help yourself. One option you might consider is writing down your problems and seeking help.

I believe that the ability to help ourselves is a kind of ability.

We have experienced many challenges in the past, which has allowed us to develop our inner strength and courage to face difficulties.

Perhaps we could try to accept our current emotions. If you were to comfort a close friend right now,

If I may enquire, what would you like to say to her?

In the past, she was able to draw on her own resources as she studied hard. Now, she is feeling a little uncertain about the future and unsure of her career path. Could she consider identifying her strengths?

Perhaps it would be helpful to consider what her life might look like in the future.

If we don't receive a prompt response, would it be acceptable to consider other options?

Could we perhaps consider the possibility of continuing to learn and gain experience in different positions and fields in the future?

Could I perhaps inquire as to what advantages we might derive from what we are learning now in the future?

From another perspective, could there be advantages to changing fields of specialization?

It would be beneficial for us to care for ourselves and to try to understand this self-doubting self, this self that finds it difficult to concentrate and is afraid of making choices.

It might also be helpful to remind yourself that facing the unknown can be daunting, including for me.

We may encounter many missed opportunities in our lives, but there may be an opportunity in the future to find the one that suits us best among the missed ones.

Many of the processes that help us develop courage and gain experience are based on our life experiences.

We experience a range of emotions, including reluctance, unease, and a tendency to be overly critical of ourselves. This matter is still on my mind and is taking a toll on me emotionally.

When you write about these experiences, you may find that you can also see the positive side of yourself and receive our care.

It seems as though I am engaged in a dialogue with myself when I converse with you.

It may be the case that we don't always have answers when we encounter confusion. It might be helpful to consider changing our way of thinking.

I believe that everything we experience is a process, and that there are no shortcuts.

I believe you have overcome this in the past, and I am confident you can do so again.

I would like to suggest the following books for your consideration: "The Plastic Me" and "The World Is Worth It."

I would like to express my love for the world and for you.

Hello, question owner! I just wanted to send you a quick note to say how proud I am of you. You're about to graduate in the spring, and I know you've been working hard on your thesis design. It's a challenging process, but you've been doing an amazing job! I know you've also been working on your resume, and I can see you're feeling a little unsure about your abilities and future career choices. It's totally normal to feel this way, and I'm here to support you. I can feel the pressure and anxiety you're experiencing, but I want you to know that I'm here to help. Let's explore the gift behind it together and find ways to overcome these challenges. You've got this!

[Inducing events don't directly cause emotions]

We believe that the amazing things happening around us cause us to experience a kaleidoscope of emotions. It's incredible how different people have different emotional reactions to the same thing because they view and interpret things from different perspectives.

So, what we need to do is focus on managing our irrational thoughts and beliefs, because they can cause some pretty adverse emotional and behavioral responses.

The brilliant American psychologist Ellis (A. Ellis) came up with the ABC theory of emotions in the 1950s. This fascinating theory suggests that our emotions (C) aren't actually related to the events that occur (A). Instead, they're influenced by how we perceive the event (B)!

The questioner's thesis design was returned by the supervisor for re-editing, which is a great opportunity for improvement!

Perspective on the event (B): The questioner is convinced that the supervisor's repeated revisions are a clear sign that they are being given the opportunity to demonstrate their professional competence.

Emotions (C): The questioner feels negative, frustrated, and gradually loses enthusiasm for finding a job in their field.

In fact, it is very common for graduation projects to be repeatedly returned for revision by the supervisor during graduation thesis season. This is not the direct cause of the frustration and depression you feel, but rather your perception of the multiple revisions of the graduation thesis requirements as a challenge to overcome. This has led to emotional frustration and depression, which in turn has given you the opportunity to develop resilience in your search for a job in your field.

The questioner needs to return to their heart and reconsider whether they love or reject the design major regarding the choice and planning of future careers. After all, love is the source of motivation that can sustain a job! With love, even if you lack experience when you first enter the workplace, you will have more internal drive to continue learning, practicing, and improving your competence in the industry.

Embrace yourself and live in the moment!

The great thing about emotions is that they're not one-dimensionally good or bad. If we don't have negative emotions, we might become a bit frivolous, insecure, and unrealistic. But if we don't have positive emotions, we might sink into our suffering.

The great news is that negative emotions do not come from the misfortunes that happen to us. They come from how we perceive each negative event that happens to us.

Emotions themselves are also highly personal and depend more on one's internal understanding than on the external environment, which is great news!

When sorting out a resume, the questioner should focus only on sorting out the resume, not dwell on the past, whether the graduation thesis design was repeatedly revised, or the future, whether they will be rejected by others, opportunities missed, etc. It's so important to stay calm, observe your own feelings and emotions, and guide them as much as possible to establish a positive perspective on things. You can even mine positivity from past life experiences!

The book The Power of Positive Emotions lists ten incredible positive emotions: joy, gratitude, serenity, interest, hope, pride, amusement, inspiration, admiration, and love.

I hope the questioner discovers positive emotions in past and future experiences and learns to love themselves!

Life is absolutely free of harsh criticism, and joy comes from genuine acceptance!

I'm excited to recommend these amazing books: "Mindfulness: The Moment is a Flower," "Living without Anxiety," and "The Power of Positive Emotions."

Dear Sir/Madam,

It seems that the repeated revisions of your graduation project by your instructor may have led to some uncertainty about your professional abilities. This could have caused you to experience feelings of anxiety and fear, which in turn may have made you feel less confident in your ability to make your own decisions and more fearful of failure and rejection. As a result, you may have been hesitant to take bold steps and explore new possibilities.

It's possible that the teacher's comments may have triggered feelings of being rejected that you have experienced in the past. It's a similar situation to being triggered by a new situation when you experience a past trauma, such as someone who has been bullied encountering someone who is more dominant again, which may trigger a lot of fear or anger.

It's possible that you may have encountered similar situations. Perhaps you experienced a lot of rejection and criticism from your parents when you were young, which could have made you feel bad and scared, and lacking confidence in yourself. It's understandable that you didn't know how to face your parents' criticism, nor how to continue to stand by yourself.

It is possible that when your teacher gives you feedback, you may experience feelings of helplessness and fear that are similar to those you may have had as a child. This could lead you to subconsciously want to avoid such situations.

If you're considering leaving a design-related job, it may not be because you dislike it or are uninterested in continuing, but because of your instructor's advice, you're concerned about re-experiencing feelings of incompetence in design and being constantly rejected, which can make you feel fearful and helpless. Because you want to avoid these feelings, you've considered avoiding design work.

You might like to consider separating your fear from your design ability. It's possible that your self-doubt and self-denial about design work are rooted in painful experiences from your past.

It might be helpful to consider ways of healing this part of yourself through more self-care and self-affirmation.

Regarding your design ability and whether or not to choose a career in design, you might find it helpful to focus on the current you, simply experience your feelings about design, and decide whether or not you want to continue down the path of design. In fact, regarding design ability, it's not necessarily important whether it's strong or not.

In any profession, as long as you are willing to delve deeper and keep learning through work, your abilities will undoubtedly improve. It's perfectly fine if you don't do a good job at first; it's all part of the process of continuous improvement.

I encourage you to consider immersing yourself in this process and allowing it to facilitate your personal growth. I believe you will find immense joy and confidence in the process.

The psychologist Li Xue once offered a very insightful observation: "The experiences from yesterday cannot affect me today." It's not uncommon for past memories or traumatic experiences to resurface in the present, often triggered by certain circumstances.

At this time, we find ourselves in a situation where we are unable to use our current minds to solve the problems of the present, as if we are people enchanted by history, entering a state of stress. We have actually been hit by the bullets of yesterday and confused by the wounds of the past.

It might be helpful to remember that these uncomfortable feelings come from the past. You are not the same incapable child you were in the past. At this moment, you are already a brand new you.

You have the option of addressing your inner wounds or choosing to disengage from the thoughts that cause you self-doubt. It's important to be present in the moment, to have the courage to experience, to accept mistakes, constructive criticism, and the opportunity to learn and improve.

It is not uncommon for past experiences to influence our thoughts and actions in ways that may not align with our current goals. These experiences can sometimes act as a form of self-hypnosis, influencing our decisions and actions without our conscious awareness. However, with time and practice, we can learn to identify these patterns and choose to return to our inner selves, stand firmly on our own side, and courageously embrace new experiences and challenges.

Once you are more involved in action, you may find that your practical experience brings you tangible progress. You may also find that you feel your own progress and efforts in real terms, which could help you to become more confident in yourself and like yourself more and more.

I hope this is helpful. I'm listening, Coach Xu Yanlian, so please feel free to share your thoughts.

I wish you the best.

I can feel the confusion, anxiety, and helplessness in the questioner's heart, but this is not a major problem. Many college students do not choose a job related to their major after graduation, but choose other jobs that have nothing to do with their major. This is very common. After all, there are fewer jobs in related fields, and the requirements are higher. In contrast, the pressure of a job in a related field is much higher than before, which means you have the opportunity to prove yourself and show what you're capable of!

Some people may say that it is easier to find a job related to your major. And why not? You are good at this area of things, and it will be easier to do. And they're right! It is indeed easier to get started and easier to do a job related to your major.

However, everything is constantly changing for the better! The job content of many positions has also undergone corresponding adjustments and changes in the overall economic environment, and is no longer as monotonous as before—it's more complex and exciting than ever!

The future is bright! The questioner may be looking for a job in their field or a job outside their field after graduation. It depends on the questioner's own needs and ideas at the time, as well as the overall environment. I feel that the questioner has been left with some kind of a shadow from the previous tutor repeatedly returning their graduation design for rework. This may have made them think that they did a very poor job and are not suitable for this job. However, this should not stop them from finding a job in this field in the future!

However, I have a different opinion, and I'm excited to share it! I believe that for the tutor, being strict with the student's graduation design and striving for perfection is being responsible for both the tutor and the student. Pointing out the deficiencies in the design and then correcting them will produce a better design effect, and it will also provide an extra safeguard for the student when they look for a job after graduation. This includes both the tutor's recognition of the student's design and the tutor's expectations of the student.

If the tutor is irresponsible towards the student, they can just turn a blind eye and not be so strict with the student. They don't have to keep asking the student to make revisions as long as it's passable! The above are just my personal opinions, but I'm excited to share them with you for your reference.

Good day.

You mentioned that you are currently working on your graduation project, which has been returned by your instructor for revisions on multiple occasions. This must have been a significant source of frustration for you. You have expressed a lack of interest in pursuing employment in your field. However, if you are unable to secure a position in your field, you are uncertain about your future prospects. This has led to feelings of confusion and helplessness. Is this an accurate assessment?

If we examine the graduation project, it will be repeatedly returned by the instructor for revision. This kind of strict requirement from the instructor will make us less interested in the subject. Just like many primary and secondary school students, because of an instructor's strict attitude, they may develop a negative opinion of the instructor as a person, which may extend to the subject.

It is important to distinguish between the teacher's style and the subject matter. Is it the teacher's strict approach that is the source of your frustration, or is it the subject itself that you are no longer interested in?

This very strict approach may lack encouragement, which could cause frustration and helplessness. Does this feeling remind you of someone in your past? What happened between you and this person that caused this feeling?

This pertains to interpersonal dynamics. It would be beneficial to examine your relationships with significant individuals from your formative years, should you require guidance. Should you feel the need, you may wish to consult with a professional psychologist or a psychological consultant.

Naturally, there may be instances where you have reservations about your chosen major. Is that the case? I am unaware of the reasons behind your decision to pursue a degree in design, and I am aware that you have already invested a significant amount of time and effort into this program.

If you abandon this course of action now, you will undoubtedly suffer a disadvantage. It is therefore essential that you reassess your position.

It should be noted that regardless of the major pursued in college, there are certain skills that can be gained, including the ability to broaden one's knowledge, enhance communication abilities, and participate effectively in community activities.

After completing your studies at the university level, it is important to note that your employment opportunities may extend beyond the specific major you have chosen. If you can identify the skills you have developed while pursuing this major, you may find that they are transferable to a related field of work.

On the one hand, the repeated corrections of your thesis may have affected your confidence. At the same time, graduation marks a transition from school to society. Making a choice entails assuming greater responsibilities, which may also result in increased pressure.

This is also a necessary step in your professional development, as you will inevitably transition from an academic to a professional setting. If you have high expectations of the consequences of your choice and believe that you must succeed, it will make it challenging for you to make a choice. However, if you don't care about the consequences, even if you fail, you will still gain experience and grow. Perhaps you don't have to carry such a heavy psychological burden.

Hello! I can tell from your description that you're feeling a bit confused about what type of professional work you want to find. It's totally normal to feel this way! I believe you are a hardworking person who values prospects and development. As a university graduate who graduated last year and went to a bank but then quit to study psychology, I have also faced this situation. I'm here to offer you some friendly advice based on my experience!

Deferment of repayment. The wonderful Erikson, a well-known psychoanalyst, talks about the importance of giving yourself time and space to develop your sense of identity.

It's so important to take some time to understand who you are, what life is all about, and how to fit in with society. I know lots of students in the US have a gap year after the college entrance exam, where they can choose to work or go straight back to school.

I guess I just thought a lot about myself before the college entrance exam. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted. I thought it would be best for me to choose a

I was looking for a profession that matched a sunrise industry.

And you can even learn a versatile skill!

And of course, a higher salary and lots of opportunities for development and training!

I was really lucky because there was indeed a major that met all my conditions, so I made the choice. Although in the end, the pace of social development exceeded my expectations, at least for my knowledge and conditions at the time, this was already a suitable choice for me. After graduating from university, I also had a business mindset that surpassed my peers, which was really exciting!

After all, there's no such thing as a perfect choice. The only thing that matters is that you choose something that suits you!

It's so important to be able to make quick decisions, but it's even more important to be in a stable emotional state when making a choice.

When you're feeling calm and collected, it's easier to weigh up the pros and cons of a situation. When you're in a bad mood, it's natural to make quick decisions, but they might not always be the best for you. When you're making a decision, it's good to focus on your true feelings (not impulsive or addictive ones). As we mentioned before, you can only access your inner thoughts when you understand yourself better.

It's totally normal to feel a bit embarrassed or meet some resistance when you start exploring your inner thoughts. Just write whatever comes to mind, so you don't have to keep it all in your mind. Don't judge it yet, because you might just discover what you really want to know from it.

I was really up and down when I first started working for a state-owned enterprise. I'd just failed my postgraduate entrance exam and I was feeling pretty down. I guess I just felt like I needed to work for a state-owned enterprise because it was stable and I felt like I could do well there. But after I was transferred to a bank, I quickly realised that it wasn't for me. I felt like I could do better in a different field, so I decided to quit.

Even if this isn't the right choice, I'm not sorry because every experience is a step towards growing up.

There's absolutely no need to force it! You can cultivate courage and experience in so many situations in life.

Sometimes, it's totally okay to enjoy the current state of affairs! You can't make a melon sweet by forcing it.

It's possible that this situation is pointing you in a new direction, giving you a chance to make a change. After all, as Master Zhou Fan also said, looking back on the past, you may realize that you actually long for the original state. Enjoy the time and enjoy the present state of affairs. After all, the present is also the past of the future. I don't want you to think that you have missed out on a lot of beauty when you look back in the future.

I'll paraphrase what Master Zhou Fan said in "Fortress Besieged" here: your state is like a besieged city. People in the present long for the future, while people in the future long for the present.

In conclusion, I really hope you can care more about yourself and give yourself more patience. That way, you'll have a better chance of seeing the bright side of things! I also really hope you can break through your own boundaries and limitations and make a choice that suits you better.

Hello, classmate! I can see that you're about to graduate from university and are now feeling a bit overwhelmed. It's totally normal to have lots of questions and concerns about choosing a related major and finding a job. It's understandable that you're feeling stressed, afraid to make a choice, and tired.

I don't think you're the only one who has this confusion, but it's a very common problem for college students, so you're not alone!

First of all, I want to say congratulations! You're about to graduate from university, which is a huge achievement.

You know, the fact that you were able to successfully get into university shows that you are a very outstanding person. It is impossible for us to learn all the knowledge at the university stage, not to mention the process of practical application of the knowledge learned.

I think it's great that your teacher keeps asking you to revise your graduation design. You've met a wonderful, responsible teacher who can help you improve your design skills before you leave school.

Next, the ability to make choices and decisions in the face of problems is an important skill. For you, a university student who has not yet entered society, this is something you'll need to work on.

From what you've said, I can tell you're feeling a lot of pressure right now. I just want to let you know that there are millions of ways to get to where you want to be, and they all lead to Rome!

Don't worry, there are so many ways we can help you!

1. Don't be afraid to ask your teacher for help! They'll be happy to send a group of graduates your way, and they'll be able to answer any questions you have.

2. Get to know your classmates better! Talk together, work together, and problem-solve together.

3. Don't be afraid to ask your parents for advice! Even though they don't work in design and haven't been to university, they've still got a lot of experience and knowledge to share.

4. If you're feeling emotionally unstable, distracted, or like you can't sleep at night, it's okay to reach out to a psychologist. They can help you work through your feelings and get back to feeling like yourself again.

I really hope these tips help you out! When it comes to choosing a career, it's not really important whether it's related to your major or not. What matters most is that you pursue and work hard at the career you love. In today's world, it's pretty unusual to stick to one job until retirement. And choosing more than one major is a great way to gain some extra experience!

I'd love to know your thoughts on this!

Hello, my child. I am confident that my answer will help you in some way.

You feel confused and distressed. Your supervisor repeatedly criticized and reworked your graduation design, which has greatly decreased your willingness to find a job in your major. You don't know what to do if you don't find a job in your major. When you sort through your resume, you doubt yourself, which makes it difficult for you to concentrate and to make a choice. You know that in this way you have missed many opportunities and have had less of a process of exercising your courage and gaining experience. This matter has always bothered you and made you feel very tired.

I can tell you what you should do.

Deal with your emotions first, then straighten out your thoughts. You will make the right choice, and your wisdom will appear.

I advise you to:

First, release your emotions and calm yourself down. Calmness brings wisdom. The more chaotic your thoughts are, the less you know what to do.

When we have a lot of thoughts, are depressed, and our minds are chaotic, it is difficult for us to make choices, and we will feel that we have no confidence in ourselves. We must first deal with our emotions, and then deal with things.

Use some quick and effective methods to calm yourself down first. For example, try the box breathing method: inhale for five seconds, hold your breath for five seconds, exhale for five seconds, hold your breath for five seconds, and then inhale again. Repeat this for five to ten minutes, focusing your attention on your breathing, and you will gradually calm down. Alternatively, just sit quietly for about five minutes, focusing on your breathing.

Breathe and relax. You will calm down more quickly. Take out a pen and paper. Write out your troubles. Externalize your internal worries. Make your inner world more stable.

List the things troubling you most, then go through them one by one. For each, decide what you can change and what you can't. For the unchangeables, accept that even if you're anxious and entangled, you can't change them. They'll only cause you more internal conflict. For the changables, decide how you can change them. What can you do right now? Then, do it. Taking action will ease your emotions.

2. Organize your thoughts. Don't let a poorly executed graduation project define your professional abilities. Instead, look to your past successes to regain your confidence.

It's understandable that you have doubts about your professional abilities because of the graduation project. This is normal. We can agree with our supervisor's evaluation, but we don't have to agree with his negative comments. We can't deny our abilities just because the graduation project didn't go well. We've studied for four years, so we know our abilities aren't defined by one project. The supervisor's criticism and constant revisions show that we're professionals. The supervisor wants us to be more professional, so he'll be demanding and require revisions. You can see for yourself that your project is more professional after revisions and that you've grown professionally in the process.

The mentor's approach may not be the best, but it's important to remember that he has high expectations because he believes in your abilities.

Look back on your four years of professional success and your successes in other areas of school. Recall your high points, believe in yourself, and regain your confidence.

3. Start acting and keep exploring. The answer will reveal itself in the process.

Many people are just like you. They are confused after graduating from college, and this is normal. There is no need to rush to decide what job to do for the rest of your life. From our perspective, it is very difficult to find a job that matches you perfectly after graduating from college. Many people only finally find their life direction and development direction through continuous exploration and experience.

If we don't try and experience it for ourselves, we'll never know if we're suited to a certain job. As the saying goes, "No path is ever wasted in life, every step counts."

I only came to understand that I did not like doing scientific research during my postgraduate studies. After graduating, I made the decision to leave my original major and explore other avenues. I eventually found my way to the psychological industry, where I thrive. Without those three years of postgraduate studies, I might still feel that I am suited for and like doing scientific research. I might still feel remorseful because I did not do scientific research.

I know what I don't like and what I'm not suited for. I will understand myself better, so that I can calmly choose to let go and embrace the mission that is truly mine. This process itself is very valuable and meaningful, and it is also a necessary path in our process of exploring ourselves. In this kind of real experience, we will understand what we are not suited for and what we are not good at, rather than imagining what we are good at and what suits us.

As we continue to experience and explore, we will undoubtedly find our true calling and direction.

This is for your reference. Best regards!

Good day, My name is Luo Hongmei, a listening therapist at One Psychological.

It is evident that you are concerned and uncertain about your future career prospects, a common challenge faced by fourth-year students.

You have indicated that your supervisor has requested multiple revisions to your graduation project, which has negatively impacted your motivation to pursue employment opportunities aligned with your academic field. However, beyond this specific major, you are uncertain about your career options. This may be attributed to the discouraging experience you have had in the process of revising your graduation project, which has led to a lack of confidence in your abilities.

It is possible that your supervisor is not rejecting you or your work, but rather offering suggestions for improvement on the problems in your graduation project. This is an opportunity for you to do better in this area and pave the way for your future career development. Rather than viewing this as a rejection, it is important to consider the supervisor's perspective and the potential for growth and development.

It would be beneficial to ascertain whether this request is made of all students or just you.

It is important to note that repeated rejection can significantly impact self-confidence and lead to self-doubt. In such instances, it is beneficial to explore strategies for regaining confidence.

It is important to change your attitude and recognize that every situation has two sides. Rather than focusing on the negative aspects, it is beneficial to consider the positive aspects as well.

Positive self-suggestion is an effective method for initiating a path to success.

Reiterate to yourself that you will make progress with each revision of your graduation project. Positive self-suggestion enables the replacement of old, negative thinking patterns with more positive thoughts and concepts. This technique can facilitate a change in attitude and expectations about life in a relatively short period of time.

Know your strengths and limitations, and accept yourself as you are.

Do not merely focus on the strengths of others while overlooking your own. Each individual possesses unique capabilities. It is essential to realign your strengths with your weaknesses.

This approach will allow us to achieve our goals.

I hope this information is helpful.

My name is Luo Hongmei, and I am a listening coach. Should you wish to continue the discussion, I am available to talk to you at any time.

Hello, I'm Shu Yaping, a psychological coach at One Mind. I can see that you're feeling a bit down because your mentor gave you some feedback and asked you to redo your work. I'm here to share my thoughts and support you in any way I can!

They can thoughtfully explore their career options, confidently navigate challenges, and pursue self-development. You are truly amazing!

01, Boosting your sense of self-worth

First, when we face some important choices or things, we will think carefully and act after careful consideration. This is only natural, and it's a great way to take responsibility for ourselves!

We can be self-aware and try to figure out what our own needs are behind the distress caused by being told to "revise the work and resubmit it." And we can do it!

Absolutely! The recognition of the instructor is very important. But what is even more important is to see that the instructor is asking you to improve your work, not your character.

We must recognize that we have worked hard to complete our work, give ourselves affirmation, find our own confidence, and tell ourselves, "I'm already great, I'm very good!"

Self-worth is a person's subjective evaluation of their own value, and it's a wonderful thing! It's reflected in self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-love.

When our sense of self-worth is strong, we will absolutely show a desire for self-improvement and exhibit a nature that is upward and good!

When we have a low opinion of ourselves, we become easily hurt and very concerned about what others think of us. We often undermine our own confidence over trivial matters. But there's so much more to us than that! We can choose to build our confidence back up again.

When you feel like you matter, you feel good about yourself. And when you feel good about yourself, it's always easier to find inspiration and solutions!

02. The mushroom effect

There's a fascinating phenomenon in psychology called the "mushroom effect." Imagine a mushroom growing in a dark, corrupt soil environment. It's got to rely on its own tenacious self-growth, with no way to get attention or help in the first few days. But then, something amazing happens! It sprouts, breaks through the soil, basks in the sunshine, and becomes a favorite food!

These days of hard work and growth are exactly what it needs to sprout, break through the soil, bask in the sunshine, attract attention, and become a favorite food!

Everyone who is new to society or the workplace, no matter what major they choose, will go through a process of being ignored or tested. But don't worry! All of this will help us more quickly navigate through the fog and darkness to find our own direction and achieve our goals. Allow yourself to grow tenaciously and courageously, and you'll be amazed at how quickly you'll find your way!

In fact, you can try to look at the matter of being severely criticized by your mentor from two perspectives. While it may make you feel frustrated at first, it is actually improving your strength!

The Monkey King in Journey to the West trained his fire-eyed golden gaze in the Eight Trigrams Furnace of the Supreme Lord Lao Zi.

Admit that you are not yet professional enough, and humbly accept that you need to work hard to improve. This is also a fantastic opportunity for you to gain the attention and help of your mentor!

Finding a job is an exciting adventure! Take your time to figure out what you really want. Once you know your inner feelings and needs, you'll have a clearer idea of what you want, and then you can make your own choice bravely. It will be easier to find a job you like!

03. The amazing power of autonomy to bring happiness!

If we pursue happiness, we are like a car. Autonomy is like the fuel in the car, and it's a great thing!

And it's our ability to accomplish something on our own, with the incredible power that comes from within! What's even more amazing is that it directly activates our experience of happiness.

So, by rejecting the influence of others' opinions on ourselves and finding our own initiative, we can fill ourselves up and set off on our journey full of motivation!

I love the world and I love you! I really hope this helps.

As a senior student on the verge of graduation, you may be feeling uncertain about your future prospects. The repeated revisions to your graduation project by your supervisor have led to some reservations about pursuing a career in your field.

It seems that you may have missed some opportunities and that you haven't had the chance to try new things. It appears that you are somewhat dissatisfied with yourself, but you're hesitant to take the first step. This state of mind is troubling you, and you're feeling scared, worried, anxious, helpless, confused, unwilling, angry... I imagine these days have been quite challenging for you. First, I'd like to offer you a warm hug.

I admire your courage in writing this honestly and asking for help.

I appreciate that getting your thesis back is a particularly important matter for you. However, there isn't much information available at this time.

I would like to gain a better understanding of the specific situation. It is not uncommon for graduates to have their graduation projects returned for revision.

So, could you please tell me a bit more about your specific situation? I will make a few assumptions and analyze them separately for your reference.

1) For example, if your own expectation is to make three revisions, but you find that the number of revisions is far more than three, it might make you feel impatient and doubt your ability to do a good job of designing.

2) Could you please clarify whether the redesign is a complete overthrow or a partial modification? Is this a common occurrence, or is it unique to this particular case?

Could you please clarify whether this is normal or abnormal in your field?

3) Could I inquire as to whether the reason for the redesign is that the instructor is not satisfied, or is it something else? I would be grateful to understand the instructor's expectations of you.

If the expectation is an excellent graduation project, it would be reasonable to assume that the requirements will be higher than normal.

I would also be grateful to learn whether you have previously interned or gained experience in a related field. There are many types of design work, and as I understand it, in the case of internet or architectural design, there are instances where no revisions are needed and instances where repeated revisions are required.

For instance, internet design encompasses two primary categories: one is interaction design, which encompasses website structure, interaction process, navigation path, page layout, and so forth. It is relatively uncommon for this type of design to undergo a complete overhaul, as the steps in the process are typically defined, the main operational path is determined, the priority of each module is established, and the objects that can be referenced are identified before the design draft is created. Consequently, the focus is primarily on modifying the details, such as the navigation position and button copy.

Another type is visual design, including operational posters, brand visuals, etc. In some cases, this type of design may require more significant changes, particularly in the early stages when the theme or main visual is being developed. This is because visual content tends to evoke strong emotions and often requires a creative approach to ensure it aligns with the desired outcome.

It is not uncommon to begin by creating initial drafts that roughly illustrate the story, and then to make further refinements after the review is complete.

I'm not sure what kind of design you studied, but I imagine the working methods are similar. If you're facing repeated revisions, it's possible that the initial information wasn't properly benchmarked. This could make it challenging to make revisions with confidence. As the instructor said, "revise one and get one right." In fact, his expectation is that you can take 2-5 and revise them all at the same time, using 1 as an example.

Perhaps we could discuss the real design work in more detail at a later point. It seems that, no matter what kind of design it is, there will be a demand side. Could I suggest that the ultimate goal of design is to satisfy the demand side? Therefore, preliminary revisions are very common. I believe that the purpose of revisions is to make the final presentation more in line with the demand, and it is also a process of mutual adjustment.

Perhaps we could take a moment to consider the reasons behind your reluctance to pursue a position in your field of expertise.

Could it be that the rejection has made you lose confidence, or have you recently come to realize that this job may require dealing with many people personally and may not be recognized by others? I understand that the process of becoming a professional from a novice involves being constantly criticized and being asked to make revisions until the first draft is accepted. This requires many years of experience and is not a requirement for fresh graduates.

Perhaps it would be beneficial to set more realistic goals for yourself at the beginning. It is not uncommon for employers to consider not only the quality of the draft, but also the attitude and mindset of the revisions. After all, design is also a service industry in the broad sense.

Perhaps we could revisit the question of what kind of work you might be looking for.

This is a challenge that many graduates face. It's crucial to take a step back and reflect on your personal values and goals. You might find it helpful to ask yourself:

1) Could I ask what my original intention was in choosing to major in design? Was it purely because I liked it, because of the high salary, or was I forced to do it?

2) Could I ask what the reasons for not choosing it now are? Is it perhaps because you are afraid of being scolded by your mentor?

Or perhaps you have come to realize that working as a designer also entails interacting with and navigating the dynamics of working with a diverse range of individuals and personalities.

3) Could you please describe your ideal job? What aspects of the job do you value more?

Could you please tell me a little bit about the kind of person you would like to become in the next three to five years?

4) Could I ask you what you think your strengths are? And what would you do if you were offered a job that matched your ideals?

The world is changing every day, and so are the opportunities. However, if we don't take advantage of them, they may not be as beneficial as we'd hoped. Additionally, we're all unique, with different skills and interests. It's natural to feel uncertain about our career choices. But it's important to remember that we can't know what opportunities await us unless we explore them. So, don't be too hard on yourself. It's more valuable to understand what kind of job aligns with your strengths and interests. After all, sharpening the knife doesn't affect the work of chopping wood.

I hope you find your ideal job soon.

Hello, dear question asker. I'm so happy to be able to help you with your worries after reading about them.

I totally get it. I can really relate to how you're feeling.

It's totally normal to feel tired and confused when you're facing the pressure of repeatedly revising graduation projects and the dilemma of choosing a future career path. This is something that every graduate may encounter in the process of exploring their self-worth and social positioning.

It's also true that feeling uncertain can make us feel anxious, especially when it comes to big life decisions. It's totally normal to worry about what might happen, and it's okay to feel unsure about making the right choice.

It's totally normal! You're going through a "transition period," which is the adaptation process that individuals face when they change from a student to a social role.

It's totally normal to have doubts about your abilities and future career choices during this period. The first thing you need to do is accept this sense of uncertainty. It's not a weakness, it's just a part of growing up!

At the same time, you can try to relieve your anxiety through mindfulness meditation, emotional diaries, etc. These will help you think rationally and clarify your true needs and interests.

I once met a friend who was going through something similar when he graduated from university. He had studied architectural design, but during his internship, he discovered that there was quite a big gap between what he had learned and the actual work, which made him doubt his major.

But he didn't give up! Instead, he started looking into different industries, going to career talks and job fairs, asking for career advice, and learning about the ins and outs of other related fields like project management and interior design.

In the end, he discovered that he had a keen interest in project management and planning, and successfully switched careers. His experience shows us that there are so many possibilities out there! You never know what might be the perfect fit for you until you explore all your options.

On the other hand, your design background actually provides you with a broad career perspective, which is great!

Design is so much more than just traditional artistic creation. It's also an innovative way of thinking to solve problems! And it's used in so many different industries, like user experience design, product design, visual communication, and interactive design.

On top of all that, your critical thinking and iterative optimization skills are also qualities that many companies really love.

So, when you're putting your resume together, it'd be a great idea to focus on the core skills and soft skills you picked up along the way in your graduation design. Things like innovative thinking, teamwork, and project management are super valuable in the workplace, so make sure to highlight them!

At the same time, it's a great idea to keep an open mind when looking for jobs. Look for positions that can make use of your design thinking skills, or try a cross-industry internship to test out your career plan in a new way.

And finally, remember that career development is a marathon, not a sprint. There's no need to rush to a conclusion, take your time!

Every try and error is a big step towards your dream job. Go for it! You'll find your own path to success through lots of practice and a little bit of luck.

Dear reader, I empathize with your predicament. A considerable number of recent graduates experience a sense of bewilderment and trepidation when contemplating their future vocational paths.

The emotional and cognitive challenges associated with the graduation stage, such as uncertainty and pressure, can contribute to the emergence of these emotions and thoughts.

It is important to note that feelings of worry and confusion are to be expected during the career choice process. While the failure of a graduation project may lead to a decreased interest in jobs related to one's major, it is crucial to recognize that this is merely an experience and does not reflect the outcome of one's entire career.

The challenge of a demanding graduation project does not preclude the possibility of securing a position that aligns with one's academic major. However, it does necessitate sustained effort and a commitment to developing and enhancing one's skills and abilities.

Secondly, self-doubt is a common occurrence when one is in the process of creating a resume. This may be due to uncertainty regarding one's abilities and perceived value.

It is important to note that a resume is merely a document and is therefore unable to fully encapsulate an individual's complete potential and value.

Furthermore, exploring various career options is an effective method for addressing this challenge. Obtaining additional work experience and gaining insight into opportunities in diverse industries can be achieved through internships, part-time employment, or volunteer work.

This will facilitate a more nuanced understanding of one's interests and abilities, thereby expanding the range of potential career pathways.

It is similarly important to maintain a positive attitude and patience. Career choice is a continuous process, and it is unwise to rush into making a decision.

It is important to allow oneself sufficient time and space to reflect and explore, with the confidence that a suitable career will eventually be identified.

It is important to note that a period of confusion and bewilderment is a normal part of the growth and development process. Having a positive self-image, working hard, and seeking support and help from those around you are key factors in navigating this period successfully.

It is important to believe that a suitable career can be found, that difficulties can be overcome, and that new challenges can be met.

It is recommended that the following books be consulted: Low Self-Esteem and Transcendence and Life Design Class.

I extend my sincerest condolences to you and the world. I wish you well. Best regards, Q

Dear colleague, I empathize with your aspirations and would be honored to extend a gesture of support.

As a designer, I have also experienced challenges when working with clients who make significant changes to a project. In some instances, the alterations were so extensive that I had to discard the original plan and start anew. However, it is important to recognize that there are also clients who are amenable and can finalize a plan efficiently.

"

It is evident that the mentor is inclined to implement frequent alterations, which can be a source of considerable frustration. However, it is important to recognise that there is little one can do to influence these changes.

At one point, I also questioned my ability to complete the task at hand due to the necessity of starting anew on numerous occasions. Then, it suddenly occurred to me that everyone possesses unique thought processes and preferences. Party A's father and your own mentor, for instance, would likely desire an exceptional outcome.

Therefore, the requirements will be correspondingly more rigorous. You, who can influence your teacher to demand greater precision, must be a promising candidate for a designer. That is why your teacher is willing to invest time in refining you, so that this potential can be realized. What is your opinion on this matter?

!

Let us consider this from a different perspective. My instructor has discernment and has already identified my boundless potential and promising future. I will undoubtedly exert considerable effort on my graduation project, apply myself with greater resolve, seek guidance from exemplary models, and accept the final refinement from my instructor.

In creating a curriculum vitae, it is important to acknowledge one's own abilities. I am an exceptional individual, and I am confident that I can succeed in the desired position through dedication and perseverance. Even if I face challenges or setbacks, I view them as opportunities for growth and improvement.

I am prepared to exploit your resources and use you as a stepping stone to advance my career and gain access to a broader and more expansive world.

I would like to extend another embrace. You are an exemplary child. If circumstances were to unfold in a wholly smooth and unchallenging manner, it would be akin to boiling a frog in warm water. Progress and breakthroughs would be difficult to achieve in such a scenario.

Alternatively, difficulties or trials serve to train individuals. Those who demonstrate courage in the face of adversity often emerge more resilient, confident, and optimistic, exuding a positive energy.

Subsequently, I developed a preference for communicating with the client to eliminate language differences and gain a deeper understanding of their needs and expectations. I am grateful for this experience, as well as for the communication and companionship, the client's trust, and my resilience in the face of challenges.

A reassuring gesture is warranted at this juncture. It is imperative to recognize that the recent missed opportunities and trials are now in the past. It is therefore essential to move on from them.

It is imperative that we utilize the resources at our disposal to improve ourselves in the present, thereby becoming an enhanced version of ourselves.
