Text / Seven
my volunteer experience for two years, seven months after graduation formal job, now an international NGO personnel in China public relations executive,UGG boots, responsible for internal human resources system and the government media relations.
In my college career and work this time, encountered many want to pursue the cause of the idealists NGO, many people into this business before, with only the dream of pure and simple impulse, many people find the mission of their own, there are more people here even more confused and disappointed.
whether NGO for the cause of what kind of person, is required before entering the industry how to prepare themselves, in which what may be the face of difficulties and challenges, I try here to their own experiences and those interested in the share of young people committed to social responsibility, although it does not mean the universal experience, but would like to help others.
qualities needed in the NGO:
The first responsibility for the social mission of love and the impulse
can cause lasting, as I believe that marriage is based not on love but like a promise, in the NGO business is most important is: Do you want the service for the people you have real sense of mission. This burden makes you work for any other type of interest, and the sense of pressure in your heart, and only in this cause to make you relieve the guilt.
cause does not mean that in the NGO more noble than others, for you can be more moral superiority. Everyone in the community and among families have their own unique mission, everyone can post their own salt and light for, commitment to social responsibility and the welfare of service to others. NGO business is only part of the community, perhaps in China is still relatively weak, but the NGO would be to reduce the cause of the wealth gap in China, as a buffer conflict between the Government and the people, democracy, coordinating the various interests of the game, helping the Government important to improve the ability to govern the body.
I have a sister school, Zeng Jinyan, in the junior year went to the Henan AIDS village, where the shadow of death and suffering of people under the rapid weight loss made her sleep at night, the kind of heavy the burden that her own into the cause of AIDS. I looked at the time senior year, the poorest most vulnerable too far.
9, this is my basis. a NGO practitioners, should be a practical person, he did, should have said more than his mouth. When you choose to enter the NGO sector in a particular area of service, we must continuously improve their professional quality.
reading and communication skills in English: NGO's are emerging in many areas in the country, and abroad have long been the development of sophisticated theoretical and practical experience, many teaching materials and training materials are required to be able to read English fluently original, if you want to wait until the domestic translated into Chinese, I'm afraid things have on hand can not wait. In exchange experience with colleagues to share ideas, when English is the common language, it is difficult to say when you have to write messages in English in the United States to a received expert advice or a visiting Filipino counterparts and communicate project developments. I do not mean a person engaged in the NGO must have a very good standard of English, but if you want your project done and very professional and integration of similar projects abroad, you learn English, communication and use of English, not to pass examinations in English.
a skill: to learn their professional, or practical work to master a trade. Many companies do not like to just graduate students, NGO, too, many domestic and international NGO in the recruitment of project officers are required when more than two years of practical experience. university education and the reality behind the derailment does not mean we can not learn by other means useful things . university enrollment decline in the quality of education was so terrible that many students did not undergo a rigorous professional training to be thrown into the society, lazy college students do not have any skills to make them. NGO who is not a shelter can not find work, We also favor good talent, we need a professional to professionals.
trusted third character
character and calm as a HR, resume screening, when I pay attention to whether a person has in addition to sense of social mission and professional skills, more importantly, when in the interview and practice test whether the candidate has a reliable character and calm personality.
reliable, is tricky, people think things can be safely entrusted to you. I am sorry to see the University for four years did not create in us such a character, as if, like the Normandy landing, the young people in different ways according to their own freedom to grow, but it consumes a lot of freedom young people. responsibility,UGG shoes, loyalty, honesty, these qualities remain our favored by the time of recruitment, the ongoing search.
calm, not impetuous, can do things quietly, in Beijing, Shanghai's city has been very rare find to such a young. Everyone wants to graduate in a time of stable work, generous salary benefits, too many people in someone else's evaluation and lose yourself in the mainstream of society. how many people can use the same as thirty Yunus In dedication to a micro-credit agencies, how many people can write a decade, do not like bounce all day long, will face the following challenges:
tension
ideal and reality of tension, you will see between dream and reality there are so many gaps, you will see in the dark corners of society have so much suffering and evil and you will see there are many within the NGO discordant voices and selfish, conflicting interests, you will continue to face their own inner doubts and contradictions.
all of which are tension. and this tension will always exist , changing, never disappear. testing whether a person is a sign of maturity is to see whether he can face and deal with this tension, whether between the various contradictions and conflicts of his inner balance, and not naive to seek solve all problems once and for all methods.
sacrifice
NGO environment outside the rumors though not so hard, and some NGO's treatment of gall to catch up the level of civil servants, but the monopoly of state-owned enterprises than for foreign and indeed is the need to make some sacrifices.
you have been away from their parents, can make choices independently and assume responsibility?
do you honor money away from the flowers and applause for, unknown in a position the work of three to five years?
if you can not face the risk of high salaries and high external environment, particularly when the existing policy does not support?
environment
2008 the Chinese government expelled foreign NGO may , the domestic NGO is also worrying the living environment, is hard to say when this period will pass, possibly three, five. In the short term, government policies and laws will not be much support given to NGO work environment will be very difficult, Would you like to do the face of such an environment?
NGO is not a place where young people to achieve self-worth, nor is it a springboard for study abroad, more than idealists everyone is going to bear the suffering of the country with the choice.
repairs when sewer would be dirty hands contaminated dirt, the same when you want to change an unjust reality, we must first learn to bear the suffering and sin, before trying to do something.
we will encounter many walls in our path by blocking the road. is precisely because these walls, let us see his thoughts, how strong the desire. There are some Let us see their inner wall is not firm, there are some walls to make us more persistent.
China has begun to have their own social enterprises, although still small voice, but a single spark can start a prairie fire, I heard too much on realistic sound pessimistic, but see little real action; heard too many complaints, but rarely sees the responsibility of the play; our country has been suffering too much, too little of the truth, too much bitterness , too little confession, too many words, too little action.
So, the dream is a duty, when everyone with their own meager forces sent a beam of light in the darkness, the dawn will come more recent.
