Question: Do
you agree or disagree~Getting advice from friends
who are older than you is more valuable than friends with your same age.

    

Who
will you turn to for advice, people older than you or people of same age as
you? If people ask me this question, well, my answer would be “I don’t know, it
depends”. In this essay, I am going to explain why I do not have a quick answer
to the question.

    

Back
into the university, I had some problems when I started for job hunting as a senior
student. I didn’t know where I could find the recruiting information of big corporations
and I didn’t know what kind of preparations I should do to make myself more attractive
to those companies. At that time, I thought of a group of my friends who I got
familiar with when I was a member in the college’s English club and who just
left college two or three years before.  I
sent emails to them and asked them out for a reunion dinner. During the dinner,
I asked them a lot of questions about how to do job hunting. They shared with
me a lot of practical strategies and tips of doing great in job hunting. And I
even got some vivid personal stories of how they succeeded in interviews. This
turned out to be very helpful. I followed their strategies and in the end I got
a good offer.

    

It
was half year I started to work in the company, when I had some tensions between
my direct leader and me. He started to assign me some tasks that were not meaningful
to me. “He disliked me” was the idea that kept coming up in my mind. I was frustrated
and felt I need to talk with somebody. This time, those friends from English
club were not the best one to seek advice because they were the same age as me
and didn’t have leadership experience. I turned to a uncle of mine, who has
been taking mid-level management position in another big company. He talked
with me for a while and told me never think things really look like what they
seem to be. It was very probable that there something else caused the tensions.
He advised me to talk with my leader and try to find out the leader’s “hidden
agenda” that bothered him. I did what he told me. In the end, I found out the
leader was actually concerning some personal issues and didn’t pay too much attention
to his work. I offered my help sincerely to him to solve the issue. And this
changed the tense situation between us.

    

Therefore,
you can see from the two stories of mine that, whom you should consult for advice
really depends on what kind of problems you are having. Judgments should be done
about who is better positioned to help you out of the problem.
