Preface
From May to August of 2025, I felt quite down; afterward, things gradually improved, and from then until February 2026, I was consistently happy and fulfilled—so much so that I paused updates for a long time. Recently, however, I’ve entered graduation season: writing my thesis, job hunting, and juggling numerous other responsibilities all at once. I’ve noticed my overall mental state declining again—and I really want to express myself. After drafting the title “Suffering Is the Engine of Creation,” I realized—oops—I’d already used this exact title before.

What perfect timing! This new low point is also a fresh opportunity. This time, I won’t let myself languish for so long; instead, I’ll try breaking this cycle and building a healthy, constructive mechanism for coping with stress.
My daily routine now revolves around working at my computer. When tired, I head to the nearby park to exercise, watch children sprint and play freely, visit the local vegetable market to buy groceries, experiment haphazardly with cooking, and—whenever possible—send out resumes en masse via Boss Zhipin.
Main Text
Let’s start today by discussing how it feels to hunt for a job: medical students actually have many options beyond hospitals.
Boss Zhipin lists countless relevant positions—you can easily find them just by scrolling through. These include B2B and B2C roles, jobs at major tech firms and startups alike, software-related positions and hardware-related ones, and more. Honestly, there’s hardly any role I can imagine that Boss Zhipin hasn’t posted.
Currently, I submit roughly 50+ resumes per day and land about one interview opportunity on average each day. Whether or not I ultimately get an offer isn’t the main point—the process itself has vastly broadened my horizons. During interviews, I’ve discovered diverse market demands—even spotting several positions seemingly tailor-made for my classmates.
It’s not that TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) master’s graduates are underperforming; rather, we’ve simply spent too long confined within hospital walls, narrowing our perspective. Step outside this well, and you’ll naturally behold the vast, starry expanse beyond.
Yet I’ve noticed—even though many people complain constantly about their hospital jobs—few actually take concrete steps toward leaving. I won’t delve into the underlying reasons today. Instead, I urge everyone to give it a try: even a one-month internship doing non-clinical work will help you rediscover yourself—and reaffirm that you’re still an outstanding person!
