Introduction: The future is in your own hands. See the road under my feet. My future is not a dream! The ancients said: everything is established in advance, and it is abolished if it is not planned. Any successful person has a complete and systematic life plan and a clear life goal. As early as junior high school, I was determined to be a translator, but the failure of the college entrance examination made me lose confidence in myself. I used to think that I could only stay in my hometown as a rural teacher in the future. I had no confidence in my spoken English until I met a foreign teacher at the English corner held by my school. After I got up the courage to talk to her, she said your spoken English was great. Maybe she has just arrived in China for a few days and hasn't met many English speakers from China. But it inspires me like a cardiotonic, urging my fighting spirit. Now I can announce that my goal is to be a translator. Below I will summarize from five aspects: self-analysis, occupational environment analysis, occupational orientation, specific plan implementation and evaluation and adjustment.

Self-analysis summary
According to my talent quality evaluation report and the suggestions of my family, teachers and classmates, I made a comprehensive analysis of myself. Optimistic and positive personality, independent, but not confident, sometimes emotional, conservative and passive style. Good at oral English and speech; Solid professional knowledge, studious. IQ and EQ are above average, with strong activity ability and good physical and mental health.
Second, the occupation analysis
Referring to the suggestions of the talent quality evaluation report and the opinions of my family, teachers and classmates, I made a systematic analysis of the relevant external environment affecting my career choice.
1, family environment analysis (economic situation, family expectation, family culture and its influence on me)
I was born in a poor family, but I also had a rich and fulfilling childhood. My mother's influence on me since I was a child kept smiling even when my economy was not so affluent. Her positive attitude towards life infected me, and I gradually became a person who dared to be strong in the face of difficulties. My family has high expectations of me, and because I am the eldest of three daughters, I am always under pressure to be an example, and I have been a leader in my studies since I was a child.
2, school environment analysis (school characteristics, professional learning, practical experience, etc. )
The School of Foreign Languages of Nanchang University, formerly known as the Foreign Languages Department of Jiangxi University, was founded in 1975. It is a foreign language teaching and research base in Jiangxi. Cultivate senior professionals who can engage in translation, research, teaching and management in foreign affairs, economy and trade, culture, press and publication, education, scientific research, tourism, mass media and other institutions. The college attaches great importance to improving the level of scientific research, and has established a research center for British and American literature, a foreign language institute and a translation research center. Jiangxi translation industry base relies on colleges. In recent years, the number of academic papers, monographs and research projects published by university teachers has greatly increased, and they have undertaken international vertical research projects, national social science foundation, humanities and social sciences of the Ministry of Education and other research projects.
3, social environment analysis (employment situation, employment policy, competitors, etc. )
English major: (1) Three jobs: A. English teacher-a teacher is a profession with stable salary, high security and low pressure. With the emphasis on education today, more and more schools and training courses need English teachers. B, translation-English skills must be solid, and Chinese skills must be profound. The salary in this line is also relatively high, and you need to master considerable comprehensive knowledge. Many foreign companies lack such translators. C, into a foreign company-to have strong communication skills and adaptability, not only to communicate with foreign customers, but also to deal with some internal work problems, and sometimes to do written English work, which requires proficiency in grammar.
Industry Status: In today's social environment in China, the employment situation is very severe. The number of college students doubles every year, but there are not enough jobs. However, the market demand for English talents is still great. With China's accession to the WTO, exchanges and contacts with other countries in the world are increasing day by day, and a large number of foreign businessmen and foreign companies have entered the China market, so it is very important to have English-speaking talents and employees. Therefore, if you learn English well, you are not afraid of not finding a job.
Analysis of Employment Destination: Compared with some big cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, the requirements for English majors are still relatively high, and the competition pressure is also great. Without an excellent diploma, it is difficult to have a foothold. Therefore, it is better to choose small and medium-sized cities with low pressure of employment competition and good development prospects, which are more suitable for their own step-by-step development. 4. Occupational environment analysis
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 20 10 Shanghai World Expo will bring unprecedented opportunities to the translation industry in China. According to statistics, there are about 60,000 translation professionals in China, while the number of translation practitioners is conservatively estimated to be 500,000. According to the figures of the Translators Association of China, the annual output value of the global translation industry has exceeded 654.38+0.3 billion US dollars, of which the Asia-Pacific region accounts for 30%, and the China market is about 654.38+0.27 billion RMB.
