situation
Don't know how to develop yourself?
Bob, telemarketing, a medium-sized b2b e-commerce company.
After working for three years, Bob is still the most ordinary salesman. When I graduated, I did sales because I didn't know what to do. In bob's view, isn't sales a legend? Can you exercise people the most? Position? Starting from here, you can exercise your ability and accumulate work experience. The threshold is not high and it is suitable for newcomers.
However, despite his hard work, Bob's performance has been mediocre, and the commission he gets every month can only barely make ends meet. Looking at other people's performance of 20 thousand to 30 thousand a month, I am not jealous, but I am not helpless. I have been in my heart for three years, and no matter how hard I try, I haven't made much progress. The pressure of telemarketing and monotonous work content made him more and more resistant, and he didn't want to make a phone call, so he couldn't do business. If you want to change jobs, what can you change? Look around or sell.
In desperation, bob came to Xiangyang and asked ccdm career planner for help. When it comes to his professional interests, he is still confused. In the initial conversation and communication, no matter what the teacher asked or talked about, he seemed to have no interest. Asked what he usually does in college, he replied that he sleeps and plays games; Asked which course he likes so much, he said he didn't know, but he felt the same way and had no special tendency.
Bob made it himself? I don't know? The situation is also very depressing, because he really doesn't know what can cheer him up and what he really wants to do. Every time he thinks about this problem, he has a headache. Every time he is there? Can we watch it later? I escaped from such self-consolation. Seeing that he is in senior three, he has to take action and seek change under great pressure.
Expert analysis
Ccdm Career Planner: Five types of people don't know themselves.
No one will admit that they don't know themselves well enough. Like bob, he spent four years in college in confusion, and he was also confused when faced with employment choices after graduation. He has been thinking about what kind of person he wants to be, avoiding it and never really understanding it. There are not a few such people. When encountering problems, they don't take the initiative to learn more about themselves and explore their abilities and specialties through various opportunities, but passively avoid them. Over time, the same problem occurs repeatedly, which is difficult to face and solve. They can only get help from external forces, such as professional career planning institutions to help them improve their cognition and quickly identify their professional expertise, interests and professional values.
What are the reasons for not knowing yourself? Some people lack awareness of self-knowledge, while others lack effective methods of self-knowledge, which leads to biased, incomplete and irrational self-knowledge. Generally speaking, it can be summarized into the following five types:
1, narcissism
No matter inside or outside, he thinks he is the best and that others must appreciate him very much. When you encounter setbacks and unfairness in reality, you should either continue to deceive yourself or resist strongly with extreme resistance. Such people encounter difficulties and obstacles in the workplace, and it is difficult to find problems through introspection.
2. Inferiority type
He is always timid and afraid of making mistakes. When the leader gives him a task, he is always worried that he is not competent enough to complete the task. I don't know what I can do, but I dare to finish what I am already familiar with. For their own goals, ideals and interests, they often lack the courage to face directly and the motivation to act.
3. Split type
Some people are always vacillating and hesitant in self-cognition, and lack stable understanding of professional interests, personality temperament and professional values, which often disrupts the thinking of doing things in self-entanglement.
4. Vacancy type
Everything around him can't interest him. Whether the job is to give him a candy or a bowl of medicine, it is boring in his mouth. What are you interested in? He doesn't know, he doesn't care, he just muddles along. Bob in the above case belongs to this type.
5. Self-style
A large part of people's self-cognition is further formed through interaction with the outside world and relying on information feedback from the outside world. Some people are relatively closed-minded and mentally, or are too paranoid to accept outside information. They just want to stay in their own small universe, which may lead to a greater deviation in their self-cognition.
Suggestions from career planners
Starting from two aspects, improve self-awareness.
Self-awareness is the first step in career planning, and its importance can be imagined. Dale Hong, the chief career planner of Xiangyang Career, suggested that people in the workplace can improve their self-awareness from two aspects:
First, learn to communicate effectively.
? Jowha window theory? It is a theory about people's self-knowledge, that is, people's understanding of themselves can be described by a coordinate: the abscissa is self-knowledge and ignorance, and the ordinate is his knowledge and ignorance. The four parts formed by the intersection of the horizontal axis and the vertical axis are people's self-knowledge: what is the part that knows what you know? Open me? Since I don't know what he knows? Blind me? Since I don't know he doesn't know his name? Unknown me? You know what he doesn't know? Secret me? .
Generally speaking,? Open me? The bigger? Unknown me? The younger a person is, the clearer he knows about himself, so that he can live in this world with his true self, and vice versa. If you want to know yourself better, you must learn to communicate effectively, including making good use of language skills and body language, learning to appreciate and praise others, constantly cultivating yourself and reducing interpersonal conflicts with others. Communication is easy, and you can get more self-awareness information from each other's information feedback. Career planning consultation is a highly specialized process of communication, inspiration and thinking induction. In this way, the consultant can gradually understand the key points of the problem and know himself. The result of career planning consultation is not only a report, but also a process to help people understand themselves.
Second, there are positive practices of accurate positioning.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. The same is true of self-knowledge, but practice is not blind, but around a center, that is, career orientation, active learning and exploration, rather than passive waiting? Question? Knock on the door. If there is a problem or deviation in the initial direction and plan, it should be adjusted and repaired in time according to the actual situation, rather than sitting still. So, that means career planning is not a set? Dead plan? In different periods and under different conditions, according to the change of demand, the scheme is constantly fine-tuned to ensure that it can move in the right direction.
There is a well-known poem:? I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because I am in this mountain? Knowing yourself is a long process, and everyone is constantly growing and changing, so self-discovery is a continuous process. Xiangyang career reminds people in the workplace that knowing yourself is the beginning of their career development journey. With a good start, success is under control!
