Lai Taiyue: How do college students plan their careers and life before and after graduation

In recent years, the talent market in China has been oversupply, and the employment of college students has become a common concern in the society. Some people joked that "Graduation is equal to unemployment ". For this phenomenon, the most important consideration for college students before and after graduation is how to make a good plan and development for their own lives, then, follow the "tailored" plan to achieve the ideal step by step, in order to prevent "graduation" from becoming "unemployed ".

Everyone has characteristics different from others, and these traits decide what kind of person you will become.

"Start a business? Or working ?" It is a problem that many young people will and are thinking about.

College students first need to know themselves. First, find out what unique abilities and interests you have, what are your core competencies, and even know what their comparative advantages are compared with those of colleagues. Then, with an investigation into the social environment, we can make our own judgment: choose to start a business or enter the company to do things.

In fact, there is no final conclusion about who is suitable for entrepreneurship and who is competent as a professional manager. We cannot predict who will become the leader of any industry in the future or how he will do it. Maybe you are this person, but now people around you don't know, even you don't know.

Entrepreneurs are a rare character

In fact, entrepreneurs are very special and rare people.

Based on my years of experience and long experience in managing multinational talents, I found that successful entrepreneurs are indeed quite different. They have a special characteristic, this feature can help them find a solution and a way out of problems in their own ways.

In the past, many successful entrepreneurs in the industry, especially those who did well in the mall, may have poor qualifications and education qualifications, however, it has outstanding performance in dealing with people and operating enterprises. For example, a channel-based boss I met in China. Although he is only 25 years old, you will find that he has a clear idea and idea when talking to him, the words are sharp and thorough, and we are very clear about how to operate the business.

Be a professional manager

Compared with "rare" entrepreneurs, professional managers are more people who can do and pay more attention to them. As a White Paper college student, how can we become a successful professional manager?

A person who has just entered social work should first select an industry and select a company in this industry based on his own characteristics, core competitiveness and interests, then you can find a suitable position in the company.

After the position is determined, the growth process of professional managers can be explained by a three-dimensional coordinate axis.

The first one is the horizontal axis (X axis) that represents the professional skills. The higher the professional skills, the longer the distance from the horizontal axis. After selecting a job, the first thing to do is to clarify the professional skills of the job. Check whether you have passed the professional skills in this job. If not, do your best to score 60 and 85 in the shortest time, and strive to be the top 5% among colleagues ~ 10%, preferably 5%. Only in this way can we stand out from the same team and get the attention and improvement from superiors.

The second axis represents administrative capabilities. Of course, when you have already achieved excellent professional skills, you are also faced with a choice: Do you want to continue to develop in terms of professional skills and become an "unmatched" professional? Or do you want to build your own administrative capabilities and transition from skilled talents to management talents? This choice depends on your personal traits. If your traits are suitable for becoming a professional manager, the second axis will naturally extend, with the improvement of your professional skills and administrative management capabilities, you can complete the development from "line" to "area. When this "surface" is basically formed, it basically indicates that you have reached the level of a Junior Supervisor.

In fact, many people can achieve this level of Junior Supervisor. However, to become a senior manager and a successful professional manager, you still need to develop your own third axis, which is "sensitivity to reality ". However, not everyone has the potential to develop such an ability. "sensitivity to reality" is not something that can be learned from others. In fact, this kind of ability is also associated with the individual's characteristics, and it needs to be cultivated through continuous experience and enlightenment. Therefore, this has become an important factor in determining whether a person can finally become an outstanding senior supervisor.

Perfect with the shortest time

Although I dreamed of being an ordinary elementary school teacher in my college age, I chose the IT industry after consideration of my abilities and social environment, in addition, we chose IBM, which has a very high performance, as the first company to work.

Another reason why I chose to enter IBM was to make an international business man my goal. In the future, all the choices for the company and the execution of work tasks will be centered around this goal, and efforts will be made to make everything you do in your work serve this goal.
During my career at IBM, a teacher who trained me gave me a sentence, which benefited me a lot:

"No matter whether you are at any point in time or in any job, you must take the shortest time to make your job the best. Only in this way can we achieve outstanding performance in our ordinary work field, gain a good reputation, and then get a better job opportunity. Then, use the shortest time and the best effort in the new work to do a good job ...... ."

This statement is also an effective rule for new people to develop their own professional skills and the other two axes.

High-interest life passbook

Hard work is actually a 'high-interest passbook '. At work, we don't have to worry too much about whether our supervisor sees his own abilities, if you have confidence in your supervisor, he will observe you. If you do your job well and do your best in the shortest time, I believe that one day, the supervisor and the boss will pay you back with higher interest rates, even if your supervisor or boss cannot appreciate you, manufacturers outside of you will also pay off your efforts with higher interest rates.
