Talk about your ideal career and development goals.

When many people are asked about their career plans,

It will be very tangled:

I went too far,

It may make people feel less enterprising.

Career goals are described too clearly,

It will also be questioned that it cares too much about external incentives and lacks internal motivation.

I feel that everything I say will be wrong, and one more sentence is a loophole.

The interview process is actually a battle of wits with HR.

So, do you really understand the problems behind career planning?

What exactly does the interviewer want to know?

How to answer this question skillfully to cater to the interviewer's "appetite"?

What is career planning?

"Career planning is a continuous and systematic planning process for career and even life, including career orientation, goal setting and channel design."

Career planning has three elements:

1, personal internal factors, including occupational character, interests, professional values, etc. What do I want to do?

2. Elements of business value, including existing knowledge, skills, experience and contacts, namely "what can I do";

3. External environmental factors, including macro industries, organizations, families, etc. What does the environment support me to do?

To sum up, career planning is to determine a person's most suitable career development direction at present on the basis of comprehensive analysis and trade-offs, and make effective and reasonable arrangements, plans and efforts to achieve this goal.

Therefore, in career planning, job seekers should comprehensively consider their interests, skills, career goals and plans needed to achieve these goals.

What the hell is HR asking?

In almost all interviews, you will always be asked, what is your "career plan"? The so-called "know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle." If you want to know how to answer more appropriately, you should first know what the interviewer is asking.

Generally speaking, the interviewer's assessment content is nothing more than the following:

1, the self-awareness of job seekers. Do you know yourself? Do you know enough to be reliable?

2. Job seekers' understanding of positions and occupations.

3. Job seekers' ability of reaction, logic and language.

4. Investigate the job stability of job seekers. Can you stay with us for a few years?

5. Investigate job seekers' self-motivation, sense of purpose and self-drive.

For fresh graduates, they have little internship experience, shallow social experience, insufficient understanding of themselves and many immature ideas. In fact, it is difficult for them to define their career plans. On some occasions, what a job seeker says is not important, but what he says is more important.

Most interviewers mainly want to know the job seekers' self-cognition, views on the industry, and cognition of the job position, and judge the job seekers' logical thinking and language expression ability through their answers, so as to have a general understanding of the job seekers' personality and values.

For job seekers with certain work experience, this question mainly examines stability, self-motivation, sense of purpose and driving force. Obviously, every enterprise wants to recruit people who are suitable for the position and are very interested in it, and can grow and develop with the company.

In short, when answering questions about career planning, don't show how powerful you are, but show that you are reliable, stable in work and peaceful in mind.

How to answer "My Five-year Plan"

Be reasonable, HR people don't care what your real career plan is. They are more concerned about whether you can work stably in this company in the next 3-5 years.

Then, if you really want to talk about your plan, I suggest not to describe anything too external, such as position, salary, management scope and so on. Because you don't know what the other person will expect from you.

In most cases, the growth of employees in domestic enterprises is not like that in foreign countries. I was promoted after passing the exam for a few years. In other words, as HR, I can't promise you what level I will reach in a few years. They prefer to see you have a down-to-earth heart: you can stick to this position when the promise cannot be fulfilled temporarily.

Therefore, a good answer can not only show that you are enterprising (achievement motivation), but also show that you have a peaceful mind (if you disagree with the other person's point of view, don't worry about naked resignation).

On the basis of understanding the interviewer's psychological state, answering career planning questions can be considered from the following angles:

1. Fully recognize your personality, interests, hobbies, specialties, knowledge and abilities, and choose an industry/occupation that can combine personal hobbies with career development in combination with the current environment.

2. Understand the background, present situation and future of the company you are applying for, and when it comes to planning, you can properly integrate into the company's development.

Don't say "I want to be a supervisor and a manager for several years", which is a meaningless answer. Career planning should consider the promotion plan and steps of professional skills, not just the promotion of ranks.

4. Explain that you have the ability of long-term planning, but you can mainly focus on the last three or five years in your statement, indicating that you will try your best to do the job you are applying for.

A competitive candidate must have clear ideas about career planning, clear general direction and short-term goals, and leave room for adjustment as much as possible.
