Hongwei career consultant case 1:
Zhang Qian studied computer, and her parents chose this major for her. The reason is very simple, that is, computers are the future of mankind, and people who engage in software are sure to be popular. However, in college, Zhang Qian felt that his logical thinking was not strong, he was not suitable for making software, and his study energy was insufficient, and his grades were average. After graduating in 2002, I still entered a private software company through contacts and worked as a programmer for two years. But my program is really poor, my computer updates too fast, and I don't have much energy to make progress. One is that I feel old and my technology is still stagnant. For the IT industry, I was a young man at that time, and technology was not my strong point. When I heard that my classmate did a good job in ERP sales, I thought he was eloquent, fond of making friends and had strong communication skills, so I started to do ERP sales. However, creating a market is not easy. That classmate did it two years earlier than himself, and his grades were naturally better than himself. Zhang Qian's psychology is also very unbalanced. In addition, his age is approaching 30 years old every day, and marriage problems and baby problems are in front of him. It's hard to do sales again. Five years passed quickly. Some students have become masters, and some students have become the main force in the software industry. What will they do next and how will they arrange themselves? Zhang Qian was at a loss, so he went to a grand career counselor and asked him to help solve the problem.
Analysis of Grand Career Consultant:
There are three main reasons for Zhang Qian's "career bottleneck":
1. Without the first five-year plan, five-year itch and career confusion are just around the corner. Career is the biggest event in life. Imagine: Is there anything more important than career? Career is most afraid of no planning. Will a career without planning have a bright future? Career development should be planned and purposeful, and we should not blindly "hit the Universiade". Many times, our career is frustrated because our career planning is not done well. A good plan is the beginning of success. As the old saying goes, everything is established in advance, and if it is not planned, it will be abolished. Every major and every post is different, so we should make a good career plan as soon as possible to suit ourselves. You can't be a confused family, do things blindly, take detours, waste time and regret your youth. However, some people are about to graduate from college, and even have done one or two jobs after graduation. They have not made their own life and career plans, nor have they made their first five-year plan. What will be their career orientation? How will it be implemented and how will each step be climbed? How can you not be confused? How can I avoid career confusion?
2.IT industry is a young industry, and Zhang Qian's basic theory is very general. Therefore, she is not a leader in terms of professional interest or work ability. In addition, the computer industry is developing rapidly, and it is difficult for her to keep up. Therefore, the first job is in crisis, and the career bottleneck comes earlier.
3. Women's specific problems, such as marriage problems and baby problems, have caused obstacles to their second career and are not excellent.
Grand career consultant case 2:
Chen Xiaoxue majored in mechanical engineering and got good grades in school. He also worked very well in the first three years after graduation, with mature technology and relatively independent in the company. However, the slow action of the machinery industry in recent years has made him feel depressed and dull, and his salary is much lower than that of several of his IT classmates. Therefore, I have always wanted to change careers. I really envy seeing IT professionals with high knowledge, high technology and considerable salary. I think about how to enter the IT industry every day. Finally, I thought of a way to do sales or switch to production management without skills. I've tried to apply several times, but I didn't get an interview. After all, I lack professional knowledge and my psychology is unreliable. Therefore, I have been hesitant to insist on changing careers. After two years of hesitation, I came to the grand career counselor in 2006. After the consultant made an analysis for him, he resolutely disagreed. And he told him that the machinery industry was dark before dawn and would soon be on fire. In 2007, the machinery industry, which had been sleeping for many years, really improved, and Chen Xiao also woke up from a deep sleep, refreshed.
Analysis of Grand Career Consultant:
Chen Xiao's problem is that external factors lead to inner imbalance, which leads to almost disordered career steps:
1. Each period has a different development platform. It is best to find a job according to the development direction, which should be a platform for career planning. Then down-to-earth, a platform, a platform to go up, gradually out of their own road to success. Everyone's career mainly depends on the actual situation of the individual to find a career breakthrough point, otherwise it will not be suitable for their own muddleheaded job search, leading to career dislocation and career detachment. I wandered at the fork in the road and never got on the right track. Because the direction is wrong, the more you go, the more wrong you are. Looking back a few years later, my career has gone through a winding road, winding, winding.
Everyone walks in the economic tide, and opportunities and risks coexist. Every industry is like a stock, with high and low, following the general trend and having its own unique trend. However, the industry can't buy and sell at any time like stocks. Because the interlacing is like a mountain, you have no advantage in the new industry and it is difficult to enter. Even if you go in, you have to crawl behind your brothers and sisters. It's hard to be calm in your heart, and it's hard to avoid another job-hopping and career disorder. In your industry, you can do it, the industry can't, you can stick to it for a while; After changing careers, the industry can, but you can't. That would be terrible. The pain and dryness of changing careers have proved that "interlacing is like a mountain" is an insightful truth. "Stones from other mountains can attack jade" has no goal, and the accumulation of old industries is completely cleared. For new industries, knowledge can't keep up with the requirements of industries and enterprises, and even shows the lack of basic industry common sense. Therefore, the sunrise industry may not bring you sunshine, so you must treat your industry and work rationally.
Case 3 of Hongwei Career Consultant:
Xue Ming used to travel with his parents when he was a child. When he saw all kinds of buildings, he liked them very much. He wanted to be a master architect, and he was admitted to the architectural design major as he wished. After graduation, he entered the state-owned construction company in his hometown to engage in construction projects according to his parents' wishes. Every day, he is on the construction site. The best way to give full play to his talents is to help the leader analyze the drawings. There is no need for architectural design. He made several comments, but the leaders thought he was a little arrogant. Xue Ming was annoyed and endured it for a year and a half. I heard that real estate is very profitable, so I went to the south to start real estate marketing, and the benefits are not bad. He also bought a house in the south. However, every time I think about my design major and my childhood dreams, my heart hurts. Coupled with the decline in real estate this year, I resigned to find a new job. I really want to return to my major and design an ideal building. But considering that I graduated for five years in a blink of an eye and have no on-site experience, can I still be admitted to the major? Can you keep up with the times if you don't often learn modern design styles? In pain, Xue Ming entered the grand career counselor.
Analysis of Grand Career Consultant:
Xue Ming's problem is a typical problem that the first five-year plan is not done well and the career starting point is not locked in the right position:
1. If you want to start a business, you must do a good job that suits you and see the development prospects. "Architecture is solidified music", which many young people yearn for, but when you don't play this music, your career becomes solidified. They are in the same development direction, but each post is different, and there are great differences. Therefore, it is extremely important to do a good job in the first five-year career plan and lock in the starting point of your career. From the perspective of career development, it takes five periods: career preparation period, career selection period, career adaptation period, career stability period and career termination period. Career planning = confidant+know yourself+choice. Among them, the career choice period is the actual career choice period, and the matching of people and posts is a principle.
The first five years after graduation are the stage of career choice, career adaptation and just entering the period of career stability. At the beginning of your career, you must lock your career direction and specific orientation, and scientifically combine the current situation of the workplace and the specific requirements of enterprises on the basis of fully, thoroughly and correctly understanding your own conditions. This is the premise of doing a good job in career planning. Before making a plan, we should first reflect on ourselves, self-examination, self-knowledge, self-understanding, self-evaluation and self-positioning, including our interests, strengths, personality, knowledge, skills, IQ, EQ, shortcomings and way of thinking. That is, find out what I want to do. what can I do? What should I do? In the face of many occupations, what industry and position will I choose? Career view refers to a person's state and ability to engage in a specific career before choosing a career, and also refers to the talent's view and understanding of the career.
2. After five years of itching, the career is facing confusion. How to formulate new career goals, how to return to your main career path from a side door, and how to choose the development direction in combination with your career planning is the most important thing. We must make the second five-year plan quickly, reposition ourselves and return to our main road quickly. And immediately integrate all their advantages and twist them into a rope to form a new core competitiveness. Accurately grasp your own strengths and weaknesses, and achieve career planning to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. If we don't take the time to make the second five-year plan and continue the separation of occupations, then the occupation will inevitably go to the point of irretrievable.
We should suit the remedy to the case, redefine our goals according to our own strengths and weaknesses in the career path, find a career to achieve this goal again, and make corresponding work, training and education plans. According to a certain time schedule, according to the principles of long-term, challenging, clear, feasible, timely, adaptive and sustainable, make career plans for yourself, plan the future, and design reasonable and feasible career development according to subjective and objective conditions. When planning the route, you need to think about three questions: What route do you want to achieve your career goals? What route is suitable for you to achieve your career goals? What channels can your organization provide for you to achieve your career goals?
Every professional will face the double pressure of "quality" and "quantity" in the job market. There is an urgent need to find more learning opportunities and take the time to recharge yourself. Try not to deviate from the track of Chinese major and change the career track unless you think the "opportunity cost" is worth bearing. For those who have graduated from university 10 years, it is time to start from the "learning stage" and enter the "deepening development stage". It is very challenging to learn other knowledge around the major. To diversify your job, you must first diversify your skills.
General Manager and Chief Consultant of Hongwei Career Consultant:
From the above three cases, it can be seen that the "career bottleneck" caused by either situation is related to the failure to formulate the first five-year career plan. In the modern workplace, life without career planning is like a car without an engine, either going downhill or being pushed away. After five years of career development, if you get healthy development through the positioning of the first career plan, you should sit in the position of department manager or supervisor. If you don't make career planning, it will lead to unhealthy development, and career bottlenecks and disorder have emerged. It must be solved through repositioning, transformation or career change. This process is painful, but no new meat will grow without cutting the scar. After the second five-year plan, it is the only way to make the specialty open new branches, grow new buds and get new development. If you have achieved career development by making the first five-year plan, then make the second five-year plan as soon as possible to achieve greater development. If you haven't made the first five-year plan, and you already have five-year itch and "career bottleneck" problems, then make the second five-year plan as soon as possible to get your career back on track!
