This article is not a quantitative investigation report, however, after one-on-one in-depth contact with the customer during my career planning consultation, I summed up my true thoughts of the professionals, it is a comprehensive qualitative summary. The errors listed in this article may be more than 90% of people are facing. For most people, these problems seem common and common, and are ignored by most people. However, after a large number of real cases in the workplace, we found that these common mistakes are very likely to become a fatal mistake that will affect your career development and even change your life's fate.
Many people have just stepped into the society and are not really aware of the existence of the crisis. Or their current work is relatively stable. Although they do not know what the future looks like, at least their current jobs can support their families, at least it can ensure survival. They don't know what they should look like in five years, and they won't think deeply, because they are very tired. At least the current job can make the year quite stable. As for the next year, they didn't even think about it. They always think that young people should enjoy their time, so that they will not live up to their great years. Even if they encounter problems, they always say: Don't worry about it now. Let's talk about it later.
I once met a 35-year-old man who has been working for 12 years and has a wife and children. The only thing he does not have is a stable job. In the past 12 years, I have changed my job on average in less than one year. Now that I am older, my family has a lot of responsibilities. I want to find a job that has been stable for a long time, but I find it very difficult. I asked him why he didn't think about it earlier? He said that at that time, when he was young and had no knowledge, he realized it now, but found it difficult, and deeply regretted that he had not made any plans earlier.
Have you encountered any problems? Do you consume your youth in confusion or confusion? Compared to a year ago, have you made progress in this year, or are you still doing repetitive work? Is your current job suitable for you? Do you know your career growth path? Do you have a goal that can be at least five years? Do you know why you grow up in a year or five years? Do you know how to achieve your goals? What's even more fatal is, are you still holding the "coming soon" mentality? After reading this text, do you want to take immediate action or repeat the current status?
If all the problems are "coming soon", I am sure you will encounter problems that cannot be solved again within five years! To solve this problem, you must pay a geometric doubling price!
Some may learn from others' experiences and lessons with an open mind, for fear that they may go wrong. Some may say that they must make some mistakes and encounter some setbacks in person to stay awake. These people seem very powerful on the surface and are willing to temper themselves and grow themselves in difficulty, but in fact they are subconsciously deliberately avoiding the mistakes they are experiencing and making, in addition, we are reluctant to admit and change the current reality. This kind of person is just for his own use, and he is willing to do his/her own work. He cannot hear the opinions of others. He will often keep up with others on the way forward.
Indeed, experiencing difficulties and setbacks will make a person grow. But not all the difficulties and setbacks you have to go through. What can be avoided reasonably in advance? Why do you have to try it yourself? No coffin, no tears. When you see the coffin, it will not help to drop more tears.
For young people, "trial and error" is actually the most stupid method. Even if you think you are still young, you still have a chance, but in fact time is not as much as you think. Take working in Beijing as an example. Assume that you are 23 years old and want to buy a house and get married at the age of 30. The House should not be good, but in Beijing, it should be at least 1 million. This is already the most conservative estimate of soaring house prices. The first payment is 0.2 million, the decoration is 20 thousand, the home appliance is 20 thousand, the marriage is 30 thousand, and the remaining funds are 30 thousand, which requires 0.3 million in total. If you have an annual salary of 0.1 million RMB, excluding rent, living expenses, telephone charges, social payments, and other expenses, and a deposit of 70 thousand RMB per year, you need at least four years. However, it is impossible for new employees to earn a monthly salary of 0.1 million without three years of experience. In this case, even if you don't take a detour, from graduation to getting married, you have to run as fast as a tight spring, and you are not allowed to do nothing or make a detour at all. If you accidentally make a slight deviation and take a detour for one or two years (for many people, this is even more normal), then for you, once you buy a house, you will be on the verge of bankruptcy.
If you still want to try and experience some mistakes you should have been able to avoid, you will surely pay more for your career.
Many people think of career planning only when they really don't have hope. Just like the example listed in the first error above. But what I want to tell you is: career planning is not a life-saving means when you are nowhere else!
The core of a successful career plan is to help you locate your career direction and build your core competitiveness in this direction to ensure that you can grow smoothly in this direction. These two points are indispensable. If you just look for a direction without considering the possibility of implementing this direction in real work, then such planning has no significance. To ensure the possibility of career realization, we must consider the influence of external objective factors. Family stress, age gap, mental imbalance caused by poor work ...... And so on, will affect the best implementation effect of career planning. Just like a doctor seeing a doctor, if you are already ill, then a brilliant doctor may not be able to recover.
For students at school, they should establish their own direction before their junior year, and then use the time remaining to build their own knowledge system. After graduation, they can find a job suitable for themselves; for those who have already worked, setting their own direction within three years of work may still lead to success despite the loss and cost. If the job is unstable for three or more years, career planning is much more difficult at this time, not just because you have to bear more losses and pay more opportunity costs, at the same time, the severe mental imbalance caused by unstable work is the biggest obstacle to your career growth. Take an average two-year detour as an example. After two years, you may be on the starting line with others. This means that your previous work is basically a waste. If your monthly salary is 2500, your direct material loss in two years is 60 thousand. This loss is at least 60-times the investment in your career planning (if you plan your career early, the maximum investment is your 1-2 weeks salary ). There are still two years of growth opportunities that you may lose at the same time. This time will never be able to make up. At the same time, your mentality will become very negative and you cannot actively face new jobs. This loss cannot be estimated. More importantly, once you get used to confusion or job-hopping, the loss will be more than 200 times the investment in career planning!
Many people who have been working for many years but still have no direction will come to us for consultation. After evaluating their comprehensive situation, if I feel that I can't do anything, I will not be able to give them the necessary help, I will say "Sorry, we cannot solve your problem" to them ". Although there are not many such thorny problems, we 'd better take them as a warning. We must make an early plan and never solve the problem when there is no way to go. At that time, you may have no way to go.
I once chatted with a college student and asked him if he had any career plans. He said he had done it. I asked you what your career goal is and how to achieve it. He said no. I am wondering, I said you have already made a career plan? Why don't you know these questions? Then he sent me a bunch of materials. I saw all the various evaluation reports. I asked him where the reports were made, and he said they were on the school website. Can you understand the results of these reports? He said he couldn't understand it.
In the process of career planning and consulting, this situation occurs more than once, especially in the college students. Every time I encounter this situation, my heart is very tangled. Their understanding of career planning is only at the evaluation level, and they do not know what these evaluations mean to them, nor how they can be used to guide their future career development.
I once served as a judge at a career planning competition in a university in Beijing. They also know to analyze their own results based on the evaluation results, but most of the planned career directions are based on "professional counterparts", which has almost no relationship with the evaluation results. Although colleges and universities have already opened career planning courses, according to the actual situation I have learned: almost no one listens carefully to these courses at ordinary times, but only takes a spot attack during the examination, credits. I asked them, these courses will be of great help to your future employment and growth. Why not listen carefully? The answer is as follows: the teachers who took this course are all about the subject and do not know what the real workplace looks like, not to mention effectively guiding and operating the theories in the book in the real workplace. This course has become completely a decoration. As a result, the confusion is still confused, and the confusion is still confused.
Because the career planning that everyone in college is exposed to is only a variety of evaluation tools, it is assumed that the career planning and personality evaluation are equivalent. From an objective point of view, many people lack experience in the workplace, social experience, and thinking analysis ability (for college students and new employees, this problem is even more obvious), and the evaluation results are not understood at all. At the same time, this kind of evaluation planning is also theoretically serious. The evaluation results are automatically generated by the computer, and the results are the "common" of a certain type of personality, I don't know how to analyze the "personality" of each person based on the actual situation of the workplace. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the fact that the planning is only at the theoretical level.
Here, we need to remind you that personality evaluation is less than career planning. Many people think that their character evaluation is equivalent to career planning. In fact, this is a very serious misunderstanding. Personality evaluation is just a means for us to understand individual personalities. When specific planning is involved, a comprehensive consideration should be made based on your career vision, strengths and expertise, professional skills, growth experiences, career values, political factors, economic factors, social factors, and other situations, to draw a specific conclusion. This requires the consultant to understand your situation before making a judgment, rather than relying solely on the results of the evaluation tool. Taking the coaching career plan of the first workplace Forum as an example, in addition to the basic evaluation, it takes three hours to consult only the interview item, and the longest is six hours, the purpose is to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the consultant, and verify the evaluation results to fully and objectively understand the real situation of the consultant. If this is not done, the consulting results will be greatly compromised.
Since we have already clarified that personality evaluation is not equal to career planning, What should a complete career planning cover? Taking my coaching career planning on the first workplace Forum as an example, the complete content of career planning should be the "1 + 2 + 1" model, that is, one core content and two supplementary content, an enhanced content. A core content refers to targeted analysis and customization based on its own comprehensive situation to determine the career orientation most suitable for its development. The first is to evaluate the overall quality of the service, develop a career growth path for the service, and build a corresponding knowledge system; the second is to correct the weaknesses in their personality and the mistakes in thoughts and actions in their past work experiences to avoid repeating the same mistakes, to the greatest extent, avoid potential career risks caused by your own shortcomings. An enhanced content refers to a series of Soft Power Training Courses oriented to workplace Promotion (based on the ccs10 competitive 10 model exclusively developed by the first workplace ), through practical skills and methods of training, we can comprehensively improve the overall competitiveness of individuals, achieve a rapid career development leap at a faster speed, and expand the distance from ordinary people.
Many people have clear goals, but many problems will not be effectively solved during the implementation process, which ultimately affects the implementation of career goals. From this perspective, we can only determine the orientation of our career, without knowing the specific implementation path, especially in the process of implementation, which problems need to be directly faced and which problems need to be bypassed, it will also affect your career development.
Setting a goal is only the first step in a successful career plan, that is, the problem to be solved by "a core content". Whether or not this goal can be achieved depends on the implementation and implementation results, this is also the meaning of "Two supplements" and "one reinforcement content. If only the goal is set, but the corresponding implementation path is not determined, such a plan is only successful at 50%. In particular, the reinforcement part is also a test of the level of a consultant. People who understand theory and have no practical experience cannot do this.
Why do you want to take a postgraduate entrance exam? Because the people around them are all in the postgraduate entrance exam. Why do you want to enter a state-owned enterprise? Because we all say that the stability of state-owned enterprises is good. Why don't you want to change yourself? Because people around you are in the same status as you!
Many people also have their own ideas, but once their ideas are opposed or questioned by people around them, their ideas will be quickly dispelled. Once a customer asked me, he said his family wanted him to be a teacher, but he asked people around him, some people said it was good to be a teacher, some people say that when a teacher has no future, it is better to enter the Enterprise. He is also confused and does not know whether to become a teacher.
Everyone's values are different. Therefore, when you ask for others' opinions, they only think about problems based on their own values, rather than standing on your own. Therefore, whether others' opinions are suitable for you depends on your own thoughts. In the same example, people who like stability will certainly say that being a teacher is a good choice, while those who like challenge will certainly say that being a teacher has no future.
Everyone has 250 friends. They appear on two occasions, one for your wedding, the other for funeral, and the other for 80% of these friends are not helpful to you, they usually don't give you positive and positive influences. When you desire to do anything, they usually pour cold water on you to tell you all kinds of disadvantages and various possible failures. There are 20% of friends who are more active and will have a positive impact on you, and only 5% of them will help you and change your life! Therefore, you should not treat your friends equally. You should spend 80% of your time with those friends who will significantly affect your life.
Only you are responsible for how you go. Those who once gave you suggestions do not have to take any responsibility for the original suggestions even if they prove that their suggestions are wrong after several years. You must understand that your path is in your own hands!
Many people will say that the world is changing, and it is better to stay calm than to make a deliberate plan. It seems that the people who say this are "chic", but once the problem comes to your eyes, I am afraid you will not be able to "secure. First, if you do not have a "root", you will always be able to move around, and you will never be able to live well. Second, because you do not have a "root", you cannot build the foundation for your growth, and build your core competitiveness on this basis, so you will never be able to grow your career. Third, you will be unable to stand on your feet even if you encounter a little risk, because you have no ability to combat risks! Let's see who has been laid out in the financial crisis. If you do not have the ability to adapt to competition and combat risks, then the current crisis is temporary (such a crisis may be a threat or competition from others, or a change in the organizational structure, it may be a merger, a collapse, or a more violent economic crisis.) You will be vulnerable. The first thing you fall down is you! I'm afraid the situation at that time will not be as "chic" as you were talking today, right?
As you go, It is because your heart is escaping from reality. By taking positive actions and building your core competitiveness, you can do the same without changing your mind!
Will highly educated people have a better development space? Not necessarily! Among all the consulting clients I have been dealing with, undergraduate students are the most dynamic. Those graduate students do not even have the most basic sense of competition. Many people are confused about "being" for postgraduate entrance exams. They do not know what the true purpose of the postgraduate entrance exam is or even have never thought about this question. Another large number of people were unable to get their favorite majors and were transferred to areas they didn't like. Only 24% of students who have clearly defined their postgraduate goals and are part of their career plans and actively put into action. A customer I recently consulted will enjoy better development if he does not take an postgraduate entrance exam. The loss of the two-year detour caused by unclear objectives is 180 times the investment in career planning!
Not all positions require highly educated personnel. These so-called highly educated talents do not actually match their academic qualifications. When more and more enterprises are considering pragmatic employment costs, high education may not be valued.
Your academic qualifications cannot guarantee your success. It's just a piece of paper. What really makes you succeed is whether you have actually learned it. If not, I'm sorry, all companies are not charity organizations.
The vast majority of people will have such knowledge. I once met a customer who was born from XXX (three words are omitted here. it is inconvenient to say that everyone is willing to attend the meeting). After ten years of work, I had a hard time improving my boss and encountered a promotion opportunity. With his ability and performance in the organization, he is confident that he will get this opportunity, but unfortunately, he is defeated by a person with poor ability. After waiting for a ten-year opportunity, I watched and slipped away, so I resigned and vowed not to do XXX any more. Remind those who want to enter national units that before entering these units, you must understand what "Preparation" means and what is the difference between "within the system" and "outside the system, what is the difference between "Li Gang. If you are greedy for stability, I will tell you that you will be very stable, stable for 10 years, 20 years, or even a lifetime in a position, at a level, there will be no change. If you are eager for such a so-called "stability" without any complaints, then I fully support your decision.
Is it difficult to succeed? Completely incorrect! I am even excited, especially in the current environment, because this is the easiest time to succeed! In the real workplace, 77% of the people who encounter career problems within three years of work are the "hardest hit area" of career planning ". I really know my career development goals and how to act, comprehensively improve and develop myself. I only account for 3% of my career planning problems. That is to say, if you have a complete career plan and are willing to take positive actions toward the goal, 97% of the people are not your opponents, and you can ignore their existence. You don't have to worry about the remaining 3%, because Chinese enterprises have enough space and opportunities to fully accommodate these 3% people. So, since the success is so easy, why are there so many failures? Because the most powerful opponent is yourself! If you do not have a forward-looking consciousness, just look at your eyes and never think about the future, or just stay on the "think about" level and never really take action, then, you will always beat this opponent! Your current failure status will continue! Success will never happen to you!
Who are you? Where did you come from? Where are you going? How is the future going? Who is responsible for the family? Do you want to succeed by your own efforts, or become a member of the neighborhood or ant family? How do you choose between success and failure? Why can you ensure success? Are you ready to take positive actions? When do you want to take action? Now, immediately, right away. Or do you want to live and relax and wait for "to say it later ?"
Your current choice determines your future growth. If you regret it now, you must have taken the wrong path. If you do not want to regret it again, you must take every step carefully from now on, don't be confused! Otherwise, you will be the most failed person!
