Some people are interested in a profession, but this profession is not the mainstream of modern society. In fact, this is very undesirable. An important prerequisite for our career planning is to understand the current background of the times and what kind of work the society needs. Only by understanding this can you adapt to the times. As the saying goes, the world trend, the mighty soup, is prosperous if it is smooth, and dies if it is contrary.
2 Know yourself: Many people often lose themselves and forget what kind of personality they are when making career plans. When planning your career, you should know your personality and don't choose a career that is too far from your personality.
3 Solve the problem directly: Now many people have procrastination, thinking that they can procrastinate one day. But have you ever thought that if you delay one more day, you will earn one less day. When encountering problems, I can't find a solution, just want to escape and rely on others. This is very undesirable. What we have to do is to face the problem directly and solve it with heavy punches, so as to get better and better.
4 have personal development goals: when planning your career, you should determine your future development direction, so that even after entering the workplace, you can have a goal to work for and not be confused. It's better to take your own destiny in your own hands than to let yourself play it at will.
Write it on the first page of your carefully selected notebook:
1. My personal mission (why do I exist):
2. My personal vision (what kind of person I want to be):
3. My values (the principle of my interaction with people):
4. My life goal (please follow the SMART principle):
Career goals:
Family goals:
Money goal:
Academic objectives:
Interest target:
Travel objectives:
Health goals:
Through the above questions, you will clearly know what you look like in your heart.
—2 Self-cognitive calibration—
But as you suspect, I want to be the richest man in the world, but this dream is completely unreliable. Therefore, the key step of our daily counseling lies in the revision of "cognition", that is, whether your cognition of yourself is really like this and whether the goals you set are what you believe and can achieve.
Use tools to correct your self-evaluation and cognition. These tools are as follows, and you can choose to use them:
1. Dierske /MBTI Behavior Orientation Scale
Find your own behavioral tendencies. For example, if you think you are crazy, you may actually be cautious and quiet like a rabbit in the crowd.
Disc-you can pay attention to the "true talent" of the official WeChat account and click "Click on my evaluation".
MBTI- Baidu search, this scale is professional, with the characteristics of 16, and the professional scale will also make predictions suitable for the work field. China Copyright: Skills &; Will Thinking Company (with specialized courses and copyright scale)
Similarly, there is PDP (tiger/peacock/owl/koala/chameleon).
The above CD-ROM and PDP mainly describe behavioral tendencies, and MBTI will involve introversion and extroversion, so it is not surprising that an introverted person can also present social (peacock) attributes in the work environment.
By this measure, examining your own behavior tendency will also help you find your own minefields (points that others will encounter to make you angry or unhappy), and these minefields will also help you think about your own principles/red lines in the opposite direction.
2. Gallup Advantage Identifier
It is the advantages, not the disadvantages, that determine a person's development height. China's educational tradition often makes up for the deficiency, so the wooden barrel theory is known and heard by most people in China. Then look at the picture below:
In fact, the ability to achieve in life is determined by the longboard. Introduce the tent principle with a more vivid model:
Through the Gallup Advantage Identifier, we can find our own advantages from Gallup's global data, so as to further find the advantages that we can really rely on to achieve our life achievements. "The ruler is shorter, the inch is longer", and discovering and making good use of the advantages will help to find the right direction of life, calibrate personal goals and realize the "advantage strike".
Gallup Advantage Identifier: Buy a copy of Discover Your Advantage Immediately and Gallup Advantage Identifier (any one), get the exclusive test code, and log on to the designated webpage for testing.
Other assessment tools: Kellogg ZF, excellent international leadership assessment, DDI assessment system, etc. There are related professional evaluations, but the above evaluations are generally purchased by companies, and the 360 evaluation is costly and accurate.
-3. Set goals-
After completing the above work, you may find yourself more comprehensive or unexpected, but not necessarily your ideal self. At this time, you need to calibrate your personal ideals and goals, compare the results in the calibrated ruler, and draw up a challenging goal with reasonable direction and matching advantages. This goal can be achieved through deliberate practice and struggle.
Please be sure to jump out of the short-board thinking, use good steel on the cutting edge, and spend your time and energy on the fields you are good at, instead of believing in evil and correcting it. It must be admitted that even if we start running day and night today, it is difficult to surpass Bolt's sprint record. Many times, diligence and connection can shorten the gap, but they can't create Excellence and new records.
Demonstrate a reasonable life goal for the general public.
Or take the running of non-professional athletes as an example.
Unreasonable goal: break Bolt's sprint record and become the world champion in 1 year.
Reasonable goal: Based on my own advantages (good health, basic basketball skills, good vital capacity, standard weight and no cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases), I want to finish the half marathon in 1 year. In order to achieve this goal, I plan to run every other day in 1 month, and run at least 5 kilometers every time for 3 months. Run at least 1 time every week for 6 consecutive months; Run at least once a week for 9 months15 km; 65438+February to achieve once a week and a half horse practice.
Take career goals as an example.
Bachelor degree, with complete project experience in this major, with top 30% performance, able to independently complete project professional work;
Advantages: excellent professional ability, learning ability, communication and expression ability, cooperation ability and first-class execution ability.
Behavior style: social+directive, paying attention to people and things.
Minefield: the goal of the game, and the result is discounted.
Short-term goal: I hope to become a qualified department manager within 2 years, and be able to lead a team of not less than 5 people to achieve the performance goals required by the company, and reach the top 50% of the same type of companies in terms of professional ranking;
Long-term goal: I hope to become an excellent team leader within three years, be able to lead a team of no less than 10 to complete all tasks required by the company's strategic objectives, rank among the top three in the whole group, and cultivate no less than 1 of reserve talents and 1 of echelon talents.
Write down your goals on the first page of your notebook. Reviewing your goals every day will help you focus on every step in the process of achieving them.
At the same time, another key to achieve this part of the goal is positive suggestion.
Anyone who has seen "Lotus Out of Water" will remember the classic scene in the film: the hero wears a ballet skirt and performs a lady's makeup in the early morning, and finally revels in the mirror and says "I am beautiful, I am beautiful, and everyone loves me", which is a typical positive suggestion demonstration.
In many psychological experiments, it is mentioned that when the subjects get positive hints: if your IQ test is high (what talents do you have), the subjects really think that they have high IQ (some talents), and the teachers will pay more attention to and praise the subjects labeled as "high IQ" and "talented", then these positive incentives will strengthen good behavior, and finally form internalized personal cognition and explicit continuous positive behavior.
Therefore, when writing down personal goals, you can also clearly describe your ideal self.
For example, in reality, you are a leader who is good at commanding and leading, paying attention to the achievements and laws of things. Everyone says you are serious. Faced with a bunch of new people born after 1995, they can't understand the new people who grew up in the internet age, and the original condescending leadership style has been resisted. You want to be a manager who can effectively motivate and manage post-95 employees. So a good positive hint is:
"I am a team coach who is good at listening to the needs of employees. I can really help employees achieve personal growth and achievements by using a variety of conversation/coaching/leadership/communication methods according to their needs. I care about the growth and status of employees, and I treat every partner warmly. My mission is to make my team. "
