1. Clarify your own strengths
The first thing is to clarify your own abilities, rate yourself, and see your strengths and weaknesses, which requires self-analysis. Through self-analysis, we aim to understand ourselves deeply, choose and deduce possible future work directions and opportunities based on past experience, and thus completely solve the problem of "What can I do?". Only by starting from one's own reality and following the trend of society, Only when you are targeted can you succeed immediately. We must understand that individuals are different and have differences. We must find out what makes us unique and carry forward it. Positioning is to show a unique sign for ourselves and make our talents better. Known by the recruiting unit; the analysis of your own understanding must be comprehensive, objective, and profound, and never avoid shortcomings and shortcomings. Your strengths, that is, your abilities and potential:
(1) Me. What did I learn? What benefits did I gain from the major I studied? What social practice activities did I participate in, and what aspects of knowledge did I improve and sublimate? The major may not play a big role in my future work, but it will play a certain role. To determine your own career direction, doing your best to learn professional courses is one of the prerequisites for career planning. It is undeniable that knowledge plays an important role in the course of life, especially today when the knowledge economy is increasingly valued, you will get satisfactory results. .
(2) What I have done. That is, my previous life experiences and experiences, such as serving as a student cadre during my studies, working for a well-known organization and other social practice activities, and my achievements. And the accumulation of experience, awards received, etc. Experience is the most valuable asset of an individual. It can often reflect a person's quality and potential from the side, so it has attracted the attention of recruiting organizations. It is also the highlight of one's resume. An important component that must not be ignored. For a candidate, experience is often more important than knowledge, because only by experiencing many things can one have a deep understanding of the situation. What is the most successful thing about me?
(3) What is the most successful thing about me? I have done many things, but what is the most successful one? Why is it successful by accident? Or is it inevitable? Is it due to one's own ability? Through the analysis of the most successful cases, one can discover one's superior side, such as strength, decisiveness, and superior wisdom, which can be used as a source of motivation and a shining point of personal in-depth exploration to form a professional career. Strong support for planning; when looking for a career direction, you often have to start from your own strengths and base yourself on society;
2. Discover your own shortcomings
(1) Personality Weaknesses. People cannot avoid their inherent weaknesses and must face them and minimize their impact on themselves. For example, an independent person will have difficulty cooperating with others, and an indecisive person will definitely find it difficult to manage an organization. Carnegie once said, "Human weakness is not terrible. The key is to have a correct understanding, take it seriously, and try to find ways to make up for it and overcome it, so as to make yourself more perfect." Have a good chat with others, especially those you know well such as parents, classmates, friends, etc. See what other people see you like, whether it is consistent with your expectations, and find out the deviations, which will help you improve yourself.
(2) The aspects lacking in experience and experience. "No one is perfect, and no one is perfect." Due to different personal experiences and environmental limitations, everyone cannot avoid some lack of experience, especially when recruiting units are asking for several years of work experience. There’s nothing to be afraid of if you have shortcomings. What’s scary is that you haven’t realized it yet or just pretend to understand because you haven’t realized it yet. The correct attitude is: take it seriously, be good at discovering, and work hard to overcome and improve.
3. Conduct social analysis
(1) 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 status 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.
(2) Organizational analysis. This should be the focus of personal analysis. The organization will be the stage for you to realize your personal ambitions. There is a famous saying in the West about career development, "When you choose an organization, you choose a life." In particular, modern organizations are placing more and more emphasis on the construction of organizational culture and have higher and higher requirements on employees' ability to adapt and survive. Therefore, you should have a detailed understanding of all aspects of the organization you will be working in: On the basis of knowing yourself and the enemy, there are only two Having more similarities between them is the best choice for individuals to integrate into the organization.
(3) Analysis of interpersonal relationships. 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 will you encounter at work? What impact will it have on yourself, how to get along with you, how to treat you, etc.
4. Clear choice of direction
Through the above self-analysis and understanding, we must make clear what career direction we should choose, that is, solve the problem of "what do I choose to do", which is the core of personal career planning. Career direction directly determines a person's career development. The choice of career direction should be determined in accordance with the four basic principles of career planning and combined with one's own reality, that is, the principle of choosing what you love (you must love the career you choose) , spontaneously realize from the heart: "Do something, love something". Only if you love it, can you devote yourself wholeheartedly to it and make some achievements), the principle of choosing one's own strengths (choose the field in which you are good at, and then you can give full play to it) self-advantage, be careful not to become a professional layman), the principle of choosing what is needed in the world (only if the chosen career is needed by society can self-development be guaranteed) and the principle of choosing one's own interests (should be based on "self-interest, "Altruistic and beneficial to society" principle, choose a career that is suitable for you and has development prospects).
The determination of career goals is the concreteness and operability of personal ideals. It refers to the foreseeable , the longest possible goal must be achieved. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, people generally have physiological needs (basic living needs, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, and supplies), and safety needs (personal safety, health protection). ), social needs (awareness of social belonging, friendship, love), esteem needs (self-esteem, honor, status), and self-actualization needs (self-development and realization). The five types of needs in order from low to high are the selection of career goals. There is no fixed formula, the key is to base it on your own reality and be suitable for your own development. It is worth noting that with the advancement of modern technology and society, individuals should always pay attention to revising their career goals and try to adapt their career choices to the needs of society. It is necessary to keep up with the development of the times and adapt to social needs so as not to be eliminated. 5. Plan for the future (1) Career path selection and self-improvement development plan. Career direction: Choosing a career that is beneficial to you and a unit where you can realize your self-worth is everyone's good wish and the basis for self-realization. However, this step must be taken very carefully, and ideal work units such as Siemens especially encourage it. Excellent employees set their development trajectories according to their own abilities and move forward level by level. They believe that the best talents "have good life goals and constantly motivate themselves" and propose that "employees are entrepreneurs within the enterprise." "The slogan of "Give employees full decision-making and opportunities to display their talents, rather than letting them do whatever they want, managing too tightly and controlling too carefully: With the changes in occupations and positions, a complete self-development plan must be formulated to Be prepared to respond: Choose what kind of organization, predict the steps for your job promotion within the organization, and how individuals can move up the ladder from low to high; predict changes in the scope of work, the requirements and response measures for different jobs; such as development If there are deviations in the process (not suitable for work or dismissed), how to change your direction; predict possible competition, how to get along with and respond to it, and analyze reliable ways to improve yourself. For example, if you want to engage in sales and make a difference, you may start as a business representative of a company. You can set a path plan: start as a sales representative, work hard on this basis, and gradually become a business manager, Sales area manager, sales manager. Ultimately achieve the ideal career goal of a company manager.
(2) 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 based on one's own reality and social development trends. Achieve a number of small feasible goals and plan yourself flexibly. Generally speaking, it is appropriate to use a planning period of about 5 to 10 years: this will make it easy to follow the needs of the times and adjust yourself flexibly. A plan 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 periods of division criteria based on the staged changes in positions and positions in the career path. The direction of their efforts is to sprint to the position of department manager within 5 years and become a supervisor within 10 years.
(3) Self-affirmation and progress. After you have a clear understanding of yourself, you must prescribe the right medicine, and if you don't have it, you can force it and if you have it, you can change it. The important thing is to grasp and make up for the disadvantages and be aware of them. Pay attention to analysis: ① Is the cause of the problem a problem of one's own quality, interpersonal relationship, or the work itself? ② What are the possibilities and means of self-correction? Is it knowledge learning, specialized business training, or changing career direction? There are several specific methods available for self-improvement: First, strengthen learning. To keep a firm foothold in the competition, college students must be good at learning and take the initiative to learn. During your studies, you should develop specific content, methods, and time arrangements for self-study based on your own weaknesses, and try to implement them in a practical and easy-to-operate manner. After entering the job, you must be good at learning in practice and take the initiative to use the corresponding training provided by the organization to learn and improve. The second is practical training.
During my studies, I actively participated in student activities, contacted various groups of people, "asked questions without shame", and worked on the areas where my abilities were lacking. If possible, you might as well read more, listen more, write more, and express your harvest experience in words, which will help you improve more directly. After joining the work. We must also take the initiative to train our talents in practice, constantly summarize and improve. The third is help from others. Family, classmates, friends, teachers and professional consulting organizations can all be powerful supports for personal improvement. The key is to learn to ask for help from others. There is no one who knows you best than the people closest to you. Listen to their experiences and lessons and their evaluations of yourself, especially pay attention to their suggestions and comments on your career choice and path development. Various professional consulting agencies have a relatively complete set of assessment methods in guiding personal understanding and career selection. You can use them to deepen your self-understanding and gain a comprehensive understanding.
