Three Key Points in Career Planning
Time flies so fast that you can’t catch it even if you chase it. Are you busy every day, but the results are limited? I think we need to do it well. A career plan. How should we make career plans? Below are the three key points of career planning that I have collected for everyone. They are for reference only. I hope they can help you.
(1) Which professions/jobs are suitable for you?
Researching which professions/jobs you are suitable for is the key and foundation of career planning; answer For this question, the following factors must be considered:
1. Your career development stage
2. Your career tendency (that is, career type)
< p> 3. Our own skills (that is, our own abilities, such as majors, hobbies, specialties, etc.)4. Our own career anchor (that is, career motivation)
5. My own career interests
(1) My career development stage.
There are four career development stages in life:
①Exploration stage: between 15 and 24 years old;
②Establishment stage: 24 to 44 years old This phase is a core part of most people’s work cycles. This stage includes three sub-stages: the experimentation sub-stage (between the ages of 25 and 30), the stabilization sub-stage (between the ages of 30 and 40), and the mid-career crisis stage (sometime between the 30s and 40s). period);
③ Maintenance stage: 45 to 65 years old;
④ Decline stage: over 66 years old, when retirement is approaching. People at different stages of career development should consider different things. For example, in the exploration stage, you can do more experiments and explorations to find out your career aptitude, career anchor, career interests, etc. at work, and gradually find the career that best suits you. People over the age of 40 should not make too many attempts, but should carefully analyze their career anchors and career aptitudes, and choose a career with their advantages to make long-term plans. The age division here should also be differentiated according to different occupations. For example: in China, as a professional football player, 30 years old is already the time to retire; as a professor, 30 years old is almost the youngest.
It can be seen that currently, college students are in the first stage - the exploration stage.
(2) My professional tendency. John Holland's research found that different people have different personality characteristics, and different personality characteristics are suitable for different occupations. John Holland divided them into six occupational aptitudes (types):
< p> ①Practical aptitude②Research aptitude
③Social aptitude
④Conventional aptitude
⑤Enterprise aptitude
< p> ⑥Artistic AptitudeEach professional aptitude is suitable for certain specific occupations. A person's career aptitude can be determined through a series of tests. If professionals determine their career aptitude, they can choose from several corresponding careers.
(3) One’s own skills (that is, our own abilities, such as majors, hobbies, specialties, etc.)
(4) One’s career anchor. Career anchor/motivation (Career Anchor) is another element that must be considered when planning your career. When a person has to make a career choice, the crucial thing or value in the career that he will not give up no matter what is the career anchor. A career anchor is the center around which people choose and develop their careers. Everyone has his or her own career anchor. The factors that affect a person’s career anchor are:
①Talent and ability;
②Work motivation and needs;
③Life attitude and values.
Talent is a function of genetic genes, and although other factors are affected by innate factors, they are also more affected by acquired efforts and the environment. Therefore, career anchors will change. This is different from professional aptitude.
For example, a person has studied for a doctorate in medicine and has been working as a surgeon for 20 years. Although his career aptitude may not be suitable for being a surgeon, when he determines his career, he basically He won't consider changing to another career. This is because his career anchor is working. When Edgar Schein studied career anchors, he divided career anchors into the following types:
1. Technical or functional career anchors;
2. Managerial career anchors; < /p>
3. Creative career anchor;
4. Autonomous and independent career anchor;
5. Security career anchor.
(5) My professional interests.
When making career planning, you should also consider your career interests, for example:
Like to travel (suitable for occupations that frequently travel);
Like warm and humid climates (suitable for jobs in working in South China);
Like to make my own decisions (should be my own boss);
Like to live in medium-sized cities; don’t want to work for a big company;
Like Wear casual clothes to work;
Don’t like working behind a desk all day, etc.
In addition, the professional skills you possess cannot be ignored. If someone has a certain outstanding skill, and this skill can bring him income, he should regard it as a professional skill when planning his career. important factors to consider.
(2) Whether your company can provide such positions and career paths;
In addition to researching which careers/jobs you are suitable for, you should also consider the possibilities of your company What positions are available to you, and you can choose those that are suitable for you. If there is no position suitable for you in our company, or the company you work for cannot provide a position suitable for you, you should consider changing jobs. As a company manager, it is the responsibility to guide employees in their career planning and provide them with suitable career paths. In this way, companies can make the best use of their talents; employees can do their best to serve the company.
The time limit for career planning. In the face of the rapidly developing information society, it is not practical to just formulate a long-term plan. Therefore, it is necessary to break down the ideal goals into several goals based on your own reality and social development trends. Actionable small goals, flexible planning for yourself. Generally speaking, it is appropriate to use a planning period of about 5-10 years. In this way, it will be easy to follow the needs of the times and adjust yourself flexibly. Planning that is too long or too short is not conducive to one's own growth. There are two specific methods: one is to divide goals according to one's own age, such as career planning for 25-30 years old and career planning for 2000-2010; second, is to formulate different goals based on the staged changes in positions and positions in the career path. The direction of efforts during the period is to sprint to the position of department manager within 5 years and become a supervisor within 10 years.
(3) Among the occupations you are suitable for, which ones are urgently needed for social development.
When making career planning, you should also set your sights on the future. Research clearly what your job will be like in ten years? Will your career increase or decrease in response to future social needs? Will your competitive advantage in the future society continue to strengthen or gradually weaken as you age? Among the professions you are suitable for, which ones are urgently needed for social development? And so on.
Conduct social analysis: Society is progressing and changing. As college students who are about to enter the society, they should be good at grasping the pulse of social development. This requires an analysis of the social environment: current social, political, and economic development trends; the distribution and demand situation of hot social occupational categories; the social demand situation of the majors studied; and the status of the chosen occupation in the current and future society. situation; the impact of social development on one's own development; changes in the future industry development of the unit one chooses, its position, market share and development trends in the industry, etc.; understanding of these social development trends will help Be able to self-understand the needs of professional society and keep your career choices in step with the times. At the same time, individuals are in a complex social environment and inevitably have to deal with various people, so it is particularly necessary to analyze interpersonal relationships. The analysis of interpersonal relationships should focus on the following aspects: who will you interact with during your career development; which people among them will play an important role in your own development; what kind of superiors, subordinates, colleagues and competitors you will encounter at work, What impact will it have on yourself, how to improve your interpersonal skills and how to get along with it, etc.
After comprehensively considering the above three factors, you can make a career plan for yourself.

Personal career planning
A person’s life is always his own path, no matter how tortuous or bumpy the road is. , are all the paths destined to be taken in the previous life. Some friends may not believe it, but if you know everything about the previous life, you will understand that it is your own choice. Maybe the choice in this life is a mistake, but there is no choice, so there is no choice. . What kind of career you choose is what kind of lifestyle you choose, and even what kind of life you choose.
A person who is proficient in one thing, even a trivial skill, can get rich rewards as long as he does it better than everyone else. If you concentrate and persevere, and make this trivial skill extremely exquisite, it will also benefit mankind and should be rewarded for it. Just establish my life goals, career goals, life goals, and keep them in my heart forever. Only if you search wholeheartedly will you find something, otherwise life will not have any special meaning. Bees are not the only ones flying among flowers, but they are the only ones who collect pollen and make it into honey.
It doesn't matter whether I have gained a wealth of experience from years of study and hard work in my youth, because if I go into life without a well-thought-out idea of ??the future, then it is certain that happiness will not come, the kind that can The opportunities that made us successful will not happen.
People often say that we should set high goals, but we must start with a single step. It’s not enough to have high goals. The arrow is fired from the bow and hits the target straight away, never deviating from the track and looking for a target elsewhere. The thunder is no match for the sudden burst of lightning. As long as you move forward steadily towards a goal wholeheartedly and persevere, you will definitely not fail. This is like using glass to focus the sun's beams, so that even in the coldest winter, you can light a fire.
The weakest person can achieve good results as long as he concentrates his power on one point. On the contrary, the strongest person will achieve nothing if he spreads his power in many directions. A small drop of water can penetrate the hardest rock if persisted; on the contrary, the turbulence roars past without leaving a trace.
1. Self-analysis
1. Values ??
My professional values: Win the recognition of leaders and colleagues through my own efforts. If you choose this profession, you must truly love it. Strive to achieve extraordinary results in ordinary positions.
My life values: Don’t worry about personal gains and losses, and live a happy life. You can live a poor life, but you must live a happy life.
My emotional values: If I don’t fight for it now, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
If we don’t bite the bullet now, we will achieve nothing————Adolf Hitler
2. Personality
The real me is more Introverted, speechless, but very optimistic. But I feel a lot has changed since I started working, which may be related to the environment. People are a complex of contradictions. Although my personality is introverted, I occasionally have a sense of inferiority, which can even develop to an extreme level, so that I am not confident in myself. I often doubt my abilities and dare not boldly participate in various activities. Sometimes sentimental.
3. Interests
I like to surf the Internet, read magazines and novels, especially various historical books. I am still actively cultivating interests in various aspects, such as wanting to learn languages, economics, psychology, etc.

Practical ability is quite strong, follow orders, and complete a task with planning and thinking. Responsible, motivated, and dedicated to work. I also like to ask questions. But lack of patience and perseverance, and the passion for work is often "three days of fishing, two days of drying the net."
2. Goals and plans
1. Goals
Short-term goals: (in the past two years)
Work: Complete yourself Integrate into the collective, fully enter the state of work, humbly learn from seniors at work, do the basic work of an employee, and solidify various basic skills.
In terms of learning: get a driver’s license; study game theory, economics, psychology, Huawei, Nortel, H3C and other books to broaden my horizons, whether technical or non-technical; re-read Mein Kampf, From a Beggar Read books such as Heads of State, Three Kingdoms, and Thirty-six Strategies to enhance your understanding of books; study German in your spare time. Although it is a minor language, I hope to be able to communicate with others and communicate with people with different thinking patterns, which can also be regarded as self-improvement. Perfect yourself, develop yourself, change yourself, innovate yourself.
In terms of life: take a loan to buy your own car, know how to take care of your elders, take care of your parents, take care of yourself, do your own things, don’t rely on others, only rely on yourself; sweep the graves of grandma, grandma, and grandpa, and realize The wishes of the elders; value all current friends and make new friends. I will never give up within 3 years. I hate it when I start to get confused and finally give up. I insist on persisting and persisting, gritting my teeth and gritting my teeth again.
Medium-term goals: (within the next five years)
Work: In the process of continuing to learn from predecessors, organize and summarize a set of own characteristics. Continuously learn new knowledge and skills, work hard, achieve certain results in your job, and strive to achieve self-entrepreneurship. Starting a business is difficult, but it is also happy.

Be able to gradually show your courage at work, be able to be comfortable in your position, and help new employees adapt to the environment. You must have the example of your predecessors and pay attention to your usual clothing, words, and deeds.
Said: "We should not rot with the grass and trees in our lives, we should not live in drunken dreams and die, and spend our lives in vain. We must make a difference." Therefore, plan your life in a planned way so that it will no longer be wasted and fleeting. .
Facing the long road of life, planning is just a guide. The most important thing is to practice it yourself. Go on with perseverance and patience. I believe that under the guidance of the plan, I will have goals and go better.
The road of life has many ups and downs. It is not the road to the light. There is pain, sadness, helplessness, and everything that is intolerable. This is life. But there are indeed many beautiful things in life. Sometimes you won’t see its true color. If you can’t feel it in this way, you might as well feel it in another way. Maybe it’s just what I need. That kind of lifestyle. Never give up on life. If I give up on it, life will give up on me. The most important thing in life is feeling. Only by feeling can you be happy. If you feel more in life, you will feel the beauty in life. Only then will I know that what I chose in my previous life is the most correct path in this life.
In life, I will feel many ups and downs and setbacks. Many things are not that I am not good, but that I do not have the courage to try. In fact, if I try, I may succeed. If I don’t try, I will succeed. , never knowing if I would succeed. Goethe said: Those are your dreams, then you have to do it, try, work hard, and struggle.
The road of life is always beautiful, and my dreams are also the most real. Maybe all dreams cannot withstand the test of reality in real life, and maybe all expectations will be like bubbles. If it breaks down in reality, you may lose the courage to live, and you may not be willing to live in a mediocre way.
The wind can blow away spring, but it cannot blow away the seeds of spring. Failure can dim yesterday's efforts, but it cannot stop the arrival of a glorious tomorrow. After walking through the bumpy roads, when every vision is shattered, as long as I don't let the wind close the door to success, as long as I don't let the wind blow out the bright light in my heart, as long as I don't let the faith Abandon, then life will not be abandoned, and the door to success will always be open for me.
Light up the light in your heart forever. Light the way to success for me.
If there are two paths to choose from now, how will you make a choice?
One is that you can live a smooth and worry-free ordinary life; the other is that you need to put in all your efforts to fight for your ideal goal, but success or failure is unknown, and the probability of success may be very low. Small. Know what the answer will be. Maybe there will be a passion to pursue my ideals. In fact, there are only two types of people who dare to give it a try: one is those who have no way out; the other is those who have a way out. People who are in between will not fight easily.
The road is at your feet, take your time, I believe you can do it and you will succeed.
Work hard, I believe in an idiom, God rewards hard work.
It is never too late to work hard, and when God rewards hard work, it is actually better for people to suffer a little, but time waits for no one, so we cannot waste time and youth in vain.
The key lies in yourself, what you want to do and where you want to develop, rather than just doing what others ask you to do.
You must have a goal, have confidence, and then realize your ideal step by step. You can set the goal into several stages. For example, if it is a 10,000-meter long-distance running, you can regard each 1,000 meters as a stage and then achieve it, so that you will not feel tired. The important thing is to have confidence and perseverance to achieve it bit by bit.
Don’t give up easily. That way, you will succeed. Don’t be discouraged. Once you have a goal, achieve it bit by bit. The important thing is myself, what is the prospect of future development and what do you want to do.
Believe in myself, work hard and work hard, nothing is impossible. As long as I am like a laser sometimes and have a consistent goal, life is about progress, progress, progress, take your time, that way My penetration will be very strong, and the possibility of realization will be very high.
Confidence, believing that I am the best, the most outstanding and the most capable, I encourage myself.
Success belongs to those who are prepared at any time, those who are wise, and those who are thoughtful. People with goals. Keep going, although the road is long, you will get there if you go; although things are difficult, if you do it, you will succeed. For many things, it’s not whether I can, but whether I want to! The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap. Don't complain that the sky is not high enough, and don't complain that the earth is not wide enough. The first thing to ask is whether the bird has the desire to fly higher than the eagle; whether the fish has the ambition to dare to cross the dragon gate. Success does not come in the future, but is accumulated continuously from the moment you decide to do it!
The most important thing for a person is to have a goal, and then the subsequent efforts, actions, and ideals with consistent goals. Life is the driving force for attack. It is never too late to work hard, and God will reward those who work hard. , It’s never too late to work hard, God will reward those who work hard.
Life is limited, and life has an end. No matter what your status is, no matter what career you do, family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and everything are related to people. Therefore, the most important thing to survive in the world is to know: How to be a human being? How to do things
Be a natural person, do the target things, be a simple person, do things simply, be a good person, and do good things; do it repeatedly in a simple way; this is a successful person, this is a successful life
