Culminating post for one of my favourite classes

I can't imagine that it's the end of the semester again. Now I still remember that at the beginning of this semester, I was struggling with whether to suspend school due to online course reasons. Later in this semester, I worked hard to do my internship and study at the same time in Beijing by myself. The progress is really hard for me. But taking this class and finishing this semester have great significance for my future professional development.

Reviewing from my post, I find that because my professional situation is keeping changing, my goal is also keeping changing. From the beginning, I want to get an internship and do well in my internship work to be more professional as an UX/UI designer. When I achieved this goal, I changed my goal to be I want to develop my abilities in a more all-round way, not just as a designer, but I should try more work to make myself stronger. Then, I applied for be a product manager assistant and tried a lot of new things. In the meantime, I continued to organize my portfolio and resume to make my basic skills more solid. But sometimes I feel very confused. It may be because all these changes are too fast. I haven't had time to adapt, and I need to make the next change.

I also deeply felt this in this class. In order to improve my abilities in all aspects, we have listed a full range of OKRs from the beginning. In order to achieve these OKRs, I need to continue to grow, break through my original comfort zone, and change myself. Just like running a LinkedIn account, from the beginning I only dared to connect with people I knew, and then I started to communicate with strangers. This is a big breakthrough in social skills for me. From the beginning, I was a person who was afraid to actively communicate with strangers, and started to be willing to join social software like Clubhouse that requires a strong willingness to communicate.All this and all the growth makes me very proud. Before writing this blog, I am sorting out the work I have done in this semester and the completion of OKRs. I found that those tasks that were difficult for me to complete are all working hard to complete one by one. In the end, those impossible tasks began to take shape.

What makes me most unbelievable is that I have sign up my LinkedIn account for 2 year only have 30 connections, but I have gained 141 connections in just 2 months this semester. This has a very important meaning to me. I will continue to live hard and complete all my OKRs. For me now, I am actually very confused when I further understand the work market in the field of interaction design in China. Even more confused than before without understanding. Interpersonal relationships in the domestic workplace are very complicated, and there are various ethical and moral problems such as plagiarism. I don't think this kind of work situation is suitable for me, but do I have other better choices now? This problem has troubled me for a long, long time. I hope that in the future I can make a decision that I will not regret.Generally speaking, I am struggling about my career development, but through this class I have consciously searched for my ideal job and started to make plans for my future. I think this is actually a good start.I wish I could find my own way in the fosessible future.
