Choice and values in career planning

Ruthless time, the old man is like a cold wind, walking silently and in a hurry, we will have new opportunities, so we need to write a career plan seriously. Do you know what methods are used in career planning? The following are my carefully arranged choices and values in my career planning for reference only. Welcome to reading.

Analysis of two key points in career planning.

First, the first point I want to express is that choice is more important than hard work. In fact, in life, losers work as hard as successful people. I even found that many people who were unsuccessful in their careers worked hard. On the contrary, some people are successful in the eyes of others, as if they succeeded easily. Successful people will be relaxed after a few years of hard work, and at most they will develop more intellectually; The loser also works hard, because once he doesn't work hard, he has no food.

The greatest happiness in one's life lies in choosing the right two things: first, finding the right unit, finding the right boss and finding the right boss; The second thing is to find the right wife or husband. Why do you say that? When the sun rises, we do things with our boss, and when the sun goes down, we hug our lovers.

The right choice is so important, but you will find that many people in real life are very hasty when faced with choices. How strange it is that a person spends much less energy on choosing a job that affects his future destiny than on buying clothes, especially when his future happiness and prosperity depend entirely on this job. Few people think they are wrong-no one will deliberately make a decision against them. They often make mistakes because they don't know how to choose. Many people think that they can't figure out what kind of job they are suitable for, so they have to switch around, hoping to find their interests in the process, but many years have passed and they are still confused. So choose carefully, or you will never know which land in the world is suitable for your growth and what kind of environment is suitable for your development. Like enterprise development, direction is more important than speed. Before choosing a clear direction, it is meaningless to simply talk about speed. Sometimes it is better to wait than to act. Action without clear choice is what we usually call tinkering, and the result of tinkering is disorder and ineffectiveness.

In this world, there are thousands of roads to success, but you should remember that all the roads are not given by others, but the result of your own choice. What kind of choice, what kind of life. What kind of career choice, what kind of career. Your present situation today is the result of your choice a few years ago, and your choice today determines your career situation a few years later. The difference between success and failure is that the winner chooses the right direction and the loser chooses the wrong direction, so we can often see that some people with almost the same foundation have different careers because they choose different directions. The problem is that when people make choices, almost no one thinks they are wrong, because no one will make mistakes on purpose. It is not conducive to their future career choices. They make the wrong choice because they can't make the right answer, just like when we encounter multiple-choice questions that we can't do in the examination room, we can only make choices according to our own judgment. Just like our parents, they think we will benefit from a certain job without knowing that it will push us forward.

When Emperor Sima Zhong of Jinhui was emperor, there was a famine one year. Officials reported to him that people had no food to eat and many people starved to death. The famous idiot emperor in history was surprised and asked, "Why don't they eat meat?" We or so-called career planning experts can easily stipulate other people's career choices. If you don't like what you are doing, do what you like. It's easy to say, but for people who are confused about their career development, just like the joke above, this beautiful wish is difficult to realize easily in reality.

Career is very realistic, which is why so many career planning theories are of no substantive significance to us. My personal opinion is that we must think positively based on reality, make full use of opportunities and improve our professional situation step by step. As I said at the beginning, career sails and choices. In the process of career development, choice is a continuous process. It is difficult for you to make a completely correct choice at once, but you should learn to choose the right direction. At the beginning of my career or when I encounter professional difficulties, my personal choices are very narrow and I can't make decisions completely independently. However, people with will will do everything possible, and people without will will only find it extremely difficult. Anyway, you always have a choice. How to grasp the effective choice is very important, so that your career path can gradually move in the right direction. Only in this way will your road become wider and wider on the long March of career development.

So how to choose a career? What is the basis of career choice? What are the main points to consider when choosing?

Second, the values in career planning.

According to my personal experience, the deepest choice is based on your values, and the most superficial choice is based on your career goals. Of course, the basis of a person who has no goal is his personal understanding of interest. The main points to be considered in active selection are region, industry, enterprise and occupation. Or a very clear career goal should be described as a person engaged in a certain occupation (high/medium/low level human resources/finance/finance/management, etc.). ) In a certain place (Beijing/Shanghai/new york/hometown county), an industry (real estate/logistics/education and training, etc. ) and an enterprise (top 500/private enterprise/state-owned enterprise/government, etc. ) in a few years. I will discuss these points in detail later, and I personally think they are also the most practical reference parts.

From practical examples, our life values determine our attitude towards life, which in turn determines our career orientation and various career choices. This kind of career choice determines our career situation, and then determines our lifestyle, and then determines our happiness in life.

This connection of values is easily overlooked by most of us, although it actually affects our decisions and then determines our lives, including our careers. If a person wants to be a top figure in the workplace, he must clearly know his own values and live by them.

I have met people who have developed well in their careers because they insist on their own values, while some less successful people are mostly confused, either holding the wrong values or not at all, vacillating with public opinion.

The importance of values can also be well revealed from the perspective of enterprise choice. Why are many McKinsey consultants not management majors? Why can some students with poor academic performance outperform those with outstanding academic performance in the fierce competition? Why do foreign companies always have seemingly common questions such as "What is your greatest achievement" and "What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses" in the interview of recruiting trainees? In fact, I think it is closely related to values. Because a person's professional values are closely related to what he can achieve, in contrast, a temporary academic achievement becomes the last section.

From the perspective of values, the standard of success or failure of career development is whether you get the life you want and whether the lifestyle brought by your career conforms to your values. If it meets, you will feel very happy, even if the income will be lower; If not, you will feel very painful, even if you have a seemingly high annual salary. When I first started working, I always envied those who met high salaries. Today, I feel more peaceful. I can understand people who earn more than themselves, and even some friends with high salaries sometimes make people feel sympathy, because they have lost a lot for high salaries, such as family happiness and some health, but gained a sense of accomplishment. Therefore, I have always advocated that we don't need to envy others in our career development, because what we get is lost, and vice versa. You may get a high salary, but you lose time; You may not be a good leader, but you will be a good son. The point is that you get exactly what you want, and you don't mind losing it. The real career pursuit is perfection and balance.
