Workplace crises for women aged 35 and how to overcome

Having gone through the years of youth filled with dreams and ambitions, women aged 35 are realistic, mature and know clearly what they need and desire. Perhaps they are content with what they have and seek long-term stability. However, theundercurrents at the age of 35 sometimes still motivate them inside, trapping women at this age in a vicious cycle of continuing to keep things as they are or making a new change in their career.

The changes coming from this undercurrent, on the one hand,  gives women aged 35 new and exciting life experiences. On the other hand,it  places women aged 35 in situations where they have to face a lot of risks related to their careers. Therefore, women aged 35 need to understand the risks they may encounter in order toorganize their work and come up with strategies to mitigate the risks..

Choosing a suitable job at age 35+ makes women easily fall into a dilemma

1. Your most important time at work is really running out

People born after 90 are now considered "mature", let alone us women 35+? Compared to younger employees, you do not have much time to try new companies and new positions often, and not all bosses are willing to give people of your age the opportunity to start again. To put it cruelly, this age is like a bottleneck on your career path.

At the same time, the pressure of life due to social roles gives you a lot of concerns: What should you do if you are unhappy after leaving your job? Will the new beginning be worse than what was already there? Have you ever felt regretful? ... Facing so many questions, so many considerations keep you constantly worried and influence your decisions. However, if you are truly persistent, determined and brave enough to tackle challenges, you can still achieve breakthrough achievements and make more marks onyour career path.

2.  You have to compete with the ability of people born after 90

A series of newcomers and talented people are trying to break through. The abilities of today's youngsters are truly amazing. In your opinion, although newcomers are really young, they still have many advantages due to their social awareness, flexibility with new technologies, as well as collaboration and communication abilities..

However, if you are a person with an open mind and are not afraid of challenges, then be brave to challenge yourself, believe in yourself. In addition to challenging and adjusting your mentality, you also need to enhance your internal competitiveness.

Have you turned years of experience into N years of experience? Where are your core competencies? Employers will definitely not treat you as a blank slate for training, they hope that you can start working as soon as you arrive, and the work can be colorful and independent in many aspects. Can you do these? How to grab opportunities and gain a foothold? First of all, behave and do things appropriate to the mindset and abilities of your age. At this age, what you have to do is nothing more than two things: work and be a human being.

For people 35+, learning to be human is even more important. After leaving workplace, your EQ should be at least above average and be able to handle interpersonal relationships well with your boss and colleagues. By handling the relationships between people well, you can promote your work better and the efficiency of group work will certainly be greatly improved.
 
Although EQ is an attitude toward external people and things, it is actually a cultivation of personal qualities. Is your EQ at age 35+ up to the standard?

35+, you have to make yourself more and more professional, and at the same time it has to be recognized. It's possible that you are not able to compete fully at this time, so keep working harder and making an effort to learn more.. Because people who are better than you work harder than you, and this is the norm in the workplace.

At this time, you definitely do not want to be a junior employee, a management position is your target. As mentioned, the middle level determines the life or death of the company, so companies also pay more attention to the capabilities of the middle level. If you want to have a stable mid-range seat, cultivate yourself well before your boss does. The success of this endeavor depends on your capacity for effective communication. Furthermore, you need to take determination to consistently accomplish your goals over the years.

People 35+ often feel anxious and have a comparison mentality, but to be honest, frequent job hopping will not solve your desire for a salary increase, even the goal of doubling your salary.

Don't overestimate your own abilities, you should settle down with an "empty cup" mentality, which means you should prepare to polish yourself long term after planning your career. Never stop learning and pursuing professional skills. There are two distinct levels of doing things: doing them and doing them well.. If you want to succeed, give yourself enough time and don't just try it.

35+, you have to make yourself more and more professional and professional

3.  Finally, integrate work and family life

It's not easy for women at work, because within a day they have to fight like a man at work, but at the same time, outside of work, they also have to deal with their children's homework and housework. The common situation of many working mothers is that they wake up in the morning to prepare breakfast, take care of their children, go to work, get off work, tutor homework, and arrange housework. They usually go to bed after 11 o'clock. This has become their daily habit.

Obviously, women in the workforce undoubtedly bear a significant price in order to strike a work-family balance, and this has an impact on their happiness.. So just adjust yourself and maintain balance. That is the best achievement of women aged 35+.
