Expanding reading: the employment prospect and direction of psychological counselors
What are the employment prospects of psychological counselors? In fact, the working environment and working conditions have always been the focus of everyone's concern. This reason is easy to understand. Many friends need to analyze this reason when considering work, because it really has a far-reaching impact on their real life.
The prospect of employment is actually predictable, because the social development is getting faster and faster now, so in this process, considering the prospect is not considering the status quo, but the status quo is not necessarily good, so many people pay more attention to the opportunity of exercise when looking for a job in this process. Psychological counselors have a promising employment prospect, which is the best way at present. Why do you say that? Because the market prospect is very broad. Because the pace of modern life is getting faster and faster, people's psychological pressure is getting bigger and bigger, not treatment but speech therapy. Counseling doesn't have to be serious. And with the improvement of living standards, people pay more attention to the improvement of life taste.
So the main reason why the current employment environment is not very clear is the overall employment situation, but if we analyze it, we can still understand that some industries are very popular. Many friends in psychology don't understand it because there is still an upsurge period, which is also an important embodiment of the rising strength and development space. Therefore, whether from the current situation or from the future development, the prospect of psychological counselors is very broad, and it is also a new industry in the future.
Employment direction of psychological counselors
1, colleges and universities, this is the main destination of psychological counselors in the future. In recent years, colleges and universities have paid more and more attention to students' mental health, and have set up public courses in psychology, with master of psychology as the teacher of public courses in psychology. This undoubtedly expanded the employment of psychology graduate students. One of the best employment directions for Master of Psychology is to enter the Department of Psychology and the Department of Education and become a psychology teacher. However, with the increase of doctoral graduates and the continuous expansion of graduate students, it will become more and more difficult to engage in this profession. Psychological counseling centers in colleges and universities also provide employment opportunities for masters of psychology. However, this generally requires the practice of psychological counseling during school, and girls are generally preferred. Postgraduates in psychology compete more fiercely for the position of counselor than students in other majors, but generally speaking, joining the party is a prerequisite. The salary of university work varies according to the specific position and region.
2. Civil servants. It is generally the public security system that recruits psychological counselors as civil servants: public security bureaus, reeducation-through-labor centers, prisons, border checkpoints, etc. Are all possible places. Some units have strict physical requirements for employees, while others need physical fitness tests.
3. Enterprise. Psychological counselors go to enterprises that focus on headhunting (talent agency), enterprise consulting and human resource management. Postgraduates in psychology are different from students majoring in human resource management. Psychological counselors advocate humanized management, which is complementary to students majoring in human resource management. But because people don't know much about psychology, the competitiveness of psychological counselors is not as good as that of students majoring in human resource management. Psychological counselors can also engage in market research, but the number is relatively small, generally more than undergraduates.
4. Primary and secondary schools. Undergraduate students are generally recruited, and the psychological counseling department is mainly used as a "vase" to cope with the inspection of the education department, so the future is not optimistic and the income is low, so the general psychological counselors are very disdainful, unless they can't find a job, they are generally not considered.
5, psychological counseling workers. Judging from the current situation in China, the domestic industry simply engaged in psychological counseling may not be able to maintain a certain standard of living, and the salary level of foreign counterparts needs to be developed.
