Ten elements of career planning.

Making a scientific career plan for yourself is to build a magnificent building for your life. Everyone has their own good wishes, and career planning is to form a scientific and close connection between what they do every day and their good wishes.

Some people set goals like white clouds in the blue sky, beautiful and romantic, but erratic;

Some people set their goals like the bright moon in the sky, which is also beautiful and romantic, but they are far apart and can't be achieved for a lifetime.

We should aim at a tree on a distant mountain. Although there is no straight road to the tree under our feet, we firmly believe that as long as we don't give up and persist in our efforts, we will definitely walk out of the road, reach the tree and reap the fruits of success.

This is the role of career planning.

The first step-dare to dream sweet dreams

Dreams are the starting point of success! How can we turn a vague dream into a clear direction? How to turn a clear direction into a specific goal?

Planning theme

1. Content of the theme

(1) Write down your name.

First, write down your name. You can see whose career plan this is from the title. Maybe you have written your name countless times, but this time it has a special meaning: you start planning your life!

(2) Planning period

The most difficult thing to write in the title is to determine "a few years", whether it is phased or lifelong. The number of years in career planning is the time to reach the most important goal that can be determined at present, which can be two or three years, or more than ten years or decades.

(3) Start and end dates

When to start and when to achieve the goal. The start date should be refined to year, month and day, and the end date can be year.

(4) Age span

Age span refers to your age.

Example: Cheng Sheming's Ten-year Career Planning

1998 September 2008 1-38 to 48 years old

Or:

Cheng Sheming's Lifelong Career Planning

1998 September 1-38 68 years old by 2028

appoint

This way of writing topics embodies the characteristics of personalized occupations and the principle of time coordinates.

It is suggested that people who write career plans for the first time should not write a long planning period, because young people at the beginning of their careers, such as college graduates or people who have just worked for a few years, can write career plans for two to three years.

Career direction and overall goal

The second content of career planning is career direction and overall goal.

1. Career direction

Career direction is your choice of career, not what career you plan to engage in within the time limit of career planning. On the career path, you must first find your own direction and orientation, and then seek what kind of orientation. There are many people fighting for certain positions, but he doesn't know what his occupation is.

Being clear about one's career direction reflects one's career motivation or subjective desire.

There are several considerations in determining the career direction.

(1) cannot have no direction.

Why is it so important to determine your career direction? I have a short story to share with you.

There is a small village in the Sahara desert. Its name is Bisell. Many years ago, Bisell was an obscure and almost isolated backward village. Locals rarely leave the village, and outsiders rarely come to this village.

Later, a young European named Ken Levin came to Bisell and asked the local people, "Why don't you go outside and have a look? The world outside is wonderful! "

Bisell people said, "We really want to go outside and have a look, but we don't know why we just can't get out of the desert."

Ken Levin said, "Impossible? ! "It took him only three and a half days to walk out of the desert alone.

He said to the Celtics, "Look, you can go out. Why can't you go out? " Bisell people said, "It's strange,

Why can't we always get out? "

"In this way, I will go with your people, and I will do as he says and see why I can't get out."

A local youth named Guser volunteered to go with Ken Levin. A guther prepared two camels and half a month's food and half a month's water.

The next day, they set off. After they set off, Ken Levin tracked down how to get to Guser. He didn't leave the desert for three or four days, nor did he leave the desert for seventy days. On the 11th morning, to Ken Levin's great surprise, they returned to Bisell. Guser said, "You see, I said we can't go out. Fortunately, we have prepared these water and food. "

Ken Levin is very strange. Why can't people who follow them go out? Thinking hard, he looked at the stars all over the sky at night and suddenly realized that Bisell people didn't know how to use any guiding tools. They just follow their feelings in the vast desert of thousands of square kilometers.

As we all know, the muscles on both sides of the human body are not completely symmetrical. When you lose your sense of direction, if your right leg is strong, muscular and your left leg is weak, you will unconsciously walk out of an arc and turn left, and the turning range will become smaller and smaller, and finally become a spiral like a tape measure and finally return to the starting point.

Bisell people think that they are moving forward by their own feelings, but they are actually going in circles and finally returning to Bisell. Ken Levin discovered the secret and said to Guser, "If you follow my path, you can get out of the desert. You rest during the day and look for Beidou at night. " The young and studious Aguser walked out of the desert in three days according to this method.

Later, he brought in the outsiders and took out the people inside. After many years, Bisell has become a well-known paradise and tourist destination. The locals also erected a bronze statue of Guser on the Little Square in the middle of the village, because he did a lot of work later. There is a sentence written on the pedestal of the bronze statue, which will inspire all of us.

This sentence is: a new life starts from the selected direction.

Excerpted from readers, issue 18, 200 1.

This story tells us that no matter how old a person is, his real life begins from the day he sets a goal, and the previous days are just beating around the bush.

Think about it. Have you ever felt the feeling of beating around the bush in your past experience? If you have circled for several years, do you want to continue circling? Remember: a new life begins in the direction you choose.

If you want to determine your career direction, you must first choose your own career. Someone asked, "Do I have to do this all my life if I choose this career?" Not necessarily. In a market economy society, people may change four to eight jobs in their lifetime. However, once you decide which occupation to engage in in a few years, you should improve your professional knowledge and skills according to this occupation to improve your professionalism.

(2) There cannot be multiple directions at the same time.

Life is short, a person's time and energy are limited, and he can only seek success in one or several specific occupations. When determining the career direction, we must understand the significance of specific occupations to life and think about the position we may hold in specific occupations, whether it is short-term development or long-term development.

(3) Don't change direction at will.

We may change four or five occupations in our life, but each occupation is not easy to succeed. Therefore, we must be very careful when determining and modifying the career direction.

(4) Direction guides the future.

Someone said, "My career is developing smoothly and I am in the stage of success. I seem to have climbed to the top of a mountain and looked around. The scenery is beautiful and I am in a good mood! " At this time, do I have to make any more plans? "

Others said, "My career is at a low ebb now. It's just that the time is bad and everything goes wrong. What are your plans? "

Professional statement

Position and direction

On the road of career development, what matters is not where you are now, but the direction to take next.

On the road of career development, what matters is not where you are now, but the direction to take next. Even if you are at the top of the mountain, if the direction is wrong, one more step may be the abyss; Although you are in a valley now, if you find the right direction, every step is rising.

2. Overall objective

The overall career goal in the planning refers to the long-term goal that can be foreseen at present.

(1) Significance of setting goals

Legend has it that the Tang priest in the Journey to the West once chose a mount in a village near Chang 'an before going to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. There are white horses, antelopes, black donkeys and green cows who come to sign up. Finally, the Tang Priest chose a white horse.

This line is 17. By the time the Tang Priest returned to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, he was already a legendary hero all over the world. This white horse followed the Tang Priest through the flaming mountain, fighting white and monsters, and became a hero to learn from the scriptures. It was known as "the first horse in the Tang Dynasty".

White horse came home dressed in gold and went to the former village to visit his old friends. Many childhood friends listened with admiration. Only the black donkey was unconvinced: "Why are you so imposing now?" Have I been idle for several years? Do I work less than you? Did I walk less than you? Why do people worship you so much and listen to your cheerful talk? "

The white horse calmly said, "Brother Donkey, I'll go to the Western Heaven with Master Xuanzang to get Buddhist scriptures. We have an excellent team. We have a direction, a goal and a mission, and we are brave in facing any difficulties. Over the years, you have really walked no less than me, even more than me. You are as tired as I am. But the difference is, since I left, you've been walking around blindfolded. So you can't say anything. I have talented and colorful Ma Sheng, and you only have mediocre and boring donkeys. "

Just because a person has no mission, direction and goal doesn't mean that he hasn't been busy doing something in recent years. He will also be busy, but he may just be busy meeting the needs of survival.

What's our goal? Is to make your life meaningful. However, if a goal is set, can it be achieved? Are you sure of success?

Professional statement

Just a little.

Successful people and unsuccessful people are just a little different:

Successful people can modify their methods countless times, but they will never give up their goals easily;

Unsuccessful people always change their goals, but never change their methods.

199 1 year1kloc-0/month I was assigned by a large French pharmaceutical group to go back to China to develop the market. The medicine I brought back is mainly used to treat diarrhea. Its name is Smecta. How to develop the market? How to form a sales team? This is a big challenge for me.

I started with only 50,000 francs (then 40,000 RMB) for market development. For such a big market as China, this money is really too small. As a last resort, we can only use bicycles and buses as means of transportation, and we can only stay in the bed of 10 yuan for one day on business trip. I will use my sales performance to persuade the French headquarters to invest in China again.

My first year's sales were1000000 RMB. I think I returned to China to start a business not only to introduce a drug to increase my income, but also to introduce advanced French technology, French capital and French management to build a modern pharmaceutical enterprise. But my knowledge, experience and ability are far from enough.

So, while starting a business, I read management monographs. Since 1992, I have been preparing to apply for the doctoral degree of Professor Chen from the Department of Management of Nankai University.

At that time, Professor Chen was a famous management scientist at home and abroad and an expert in Sun Tzu's Art of War. He was the first professor in China to teach corporate culture, corporate strategic management, Sun Tzu's Art of War and corporate ethics. From 65438 to 0993, I was finally admitted to Professor Chen's doctoral program, and studied corporate culture construction, corporate ethics, Sun Tzu's art of war, corporate strategic management and other courses with him.

Every leap in career development is based on learning new knowledge and establishing new ideas.

I'm trying to build a

Modern pharmaceutical enterprises have formulated a series of development strategies, such as corporate culture construction strategy, market development strategy, organizational structure development strategy and management talent team construction strategy. In the process of drug promotion, I adhere to the road of academic promotion, and at the same time adhere to the spirit of being highly responsible for patients, and it is forbidden to sell drugs in the form of kickbacks. The turnover of the enterprise reached more than 3 million in the second year, 65.438+million in the third year and 1 billion in the fifth year.

From 65438 to 0997, French headquarters was encouraged by the work performance of colleagues from China, and finally agreed to invest and build factories in China. In Tianjin High-tech Industrial Park, a modern high-tech pharmaceutical enterprise was built and put into production in just over a year.

In the same year, I finished my doctoral thesis entitled "Career Development and Management". This is the first doctoral thesis on career research in China, which fills the gap in domestic theoretical research since then.

It is worth mentioning that when the 1997 joint venture was completed, foreign shares accounted for 90% of the joint venture, and the general manager was from China, and the deputy general managers of finance, personnel and operations were also from China, which is extremely rare in the joint venture, because we have established a management system for employee career development.

This year, I was received twice by French President Jacques Chirac. Chirac spoke highly of my work achievements. My photo with the French president was published in French newspapers and magazines, and I was interviewed by French television.

In this way, I started my own business. By 1999, the company had more than 300 outstanding colleagues and 24 offices all over the country, and the sales increased from 1992 to1500 million.

Hard entrepreneurial experience made me understand that as long as you don't give up your goal, every setback and every failure is valuable!

Think about it, if you have succeeded in your past career, is it because you have adhered to your goals? Some things give up halfway, because you give up your goal?

Now, please do one thing: if you are in a room now, can you find six items with blue elements in your room at the fastest speed (for example, three seconds)? You may suddenly find many things with blue elements in the room. They have always existed in this room, but they just didn't notice it before.

For an individual, setting goals plays a very important role, which is to help him concentrate on finding the most useful information and resources to achieve his goals.

We must understand: we can't live without our goals; Too many goals won't do; Goals always fail; If the method is wrong, it will not work; There is not enough time.

(2) Examples of personal goals

For example, it took 10 years to become the chairman of the group company; Become an excellent lawyer in the field of international trade within 5 years.

(3) the standard of good goals

Good goals usually have nine criteria:

① Positive language

"I don't want to sound so ugly." This is negative language.

"I want to be an eloquent person." This is positive language.

2 specific and clear.

"I want to master a foreign language." This is not specific at all.

"I hope I can communicate freely with my business partners in Japanese." This is more specific.

③ Possibility.

"I want to win the 2008 Olympic champion."

Unless the person who said this sentence is a top international athlete, as ordinary people, the possibility of our realization is very small. It's not absolutely impossible, but the possibility is too small.

④ It can be measured.

"I want to master English."

"I think I can understand English contracts." or "I hope I can participate in foreign trade negotiations in English."

Compared with the two, the latter can be measured, while the former is difficult to measure.

⑤ challenging.

Good goals need to be challenging. Challenging refers to the characteristics that a thing can only be achieved by its own efforts. On the contrary, what can be achieved naturally without effort is not challenging.

"I want to retire in my fifties." If your "reserve fund" is abundant, it is not challenging.

"I want to be the general manager of the joint venture at the age of 40." This sentence is very challenging.

⑥ Self-reliance

Self-reliance can be achieved by one's own efforts.

"I hope the coldest winter here is not less than MINUS five degrees." Although there is a saying that "man can conquer nature", this goal cannot be achieved by human strength.

"I want to win the first place in the company's sales this year." This goal is possible.

⑦ There is a time limit.

"I want to master English", "I want to communicate with foreigners in English" and "I think I can read English materials."

When will these goals be achieved?

"Just do it before I die." So there is no time limit for setting goals.

"I want to spend two years reading English-related materials." This has a time limit.

⑧ Comprehensive balance

"In order to be a department-level cadre, I would rather die every day."

"In order to be the head of the company, I would rather be separated from my wife."

So the goal is not overall balance. Overall balance refers to the balanced development of one's health, family and work.

There is a sense of accomplishment when you realize it.

Some people have achieved their goals, but they are very painful. Setting a goal like this, even if it is successful, is not a good goal.

When the set goal is achieved, you will feel particularly valuable and have the joy of success when it is achieved. This is a good goal.

(4) the relationship between personal goals and corporate goals

(1) Find the combination point of interests.

Personal goals are your own goals, but you can't achieve them yourself.

The realization of enterprise goals is the sum of all employees' personal goals (the part consistent with enterprise goals). We use the big arrow to represent enterprise development and the small arrow to represent personal development.

We find that few people can really keep in line with the development goals of the enterprise, and most people only have an overlapping period with this enterprise in their careers. The crossover time can be long or short.

② Personal goals must be integrated into enterprise goals.

What is the relationship between personal career goals and corporate goals?

Many people's ideals and ambitions are reflected through an enterprise, and the personal goals are integrated into the enterprise goals, that is, the interests of personal development and enterprise development are found; Enterprise goals are decomposed into departmental goals; Then the department objectives are decomposed into post objectives; Finally, the post goal is transformed into the personal goal of working in this post, that is, it is necessary to complete the work according to the requirements of the enterprise and to connect with the personal development prospects. In this way, employees will have greater motivation. Only when his personal goal is realized can his post goal be better realized; Only when the post goal is realized can the department goal be realized; Only when the departmental goals are achieved can the enterprise goals be achieved; Only when the enterprise goal is realized can the career goal of enterprise decision-makers be realized. This is a virtuous circle that complements each other.

Therefore, if managers want employees to make career planning, enterprise managers should first master the methods of career planning and make scientific career planning for themselves.

3. Distinguish the relationship between direction and goal

Professional statement

Direction and goal

Only direction without goal is like playing football, only attacking without looking at the goal.

Just looking at the target without looking at the direction may shoot the ball into your own goal.

The direction is not equal to the goal, and the goal should be based on the correct direction. For example, the target is a destination that has been marked on the map. We must find the right direction with the compass in our hands. Without the right direction, we may not find where we want to go. Without a goal, it is like wandering on the road with a compass. Maybe after a turn, we will return to the original point, because we don't know where the destination is.

Step 2-Feasibility

study

If the dream comes true, how to use the surrounding environment? What abilities need to be cultivated? what can I do for you?

Analysis of social environment and occupational environment

1. Social environment analysis

Only by analyzing the chosen career in the social environment can we strengthen our career direction and career goals.

(1) What is social environment analysis?

Through the analysis of social environment, we can understand the development direction of political, economic and legal construction in China or regions, and thus find various development opportunities.

(2) The current social situation in China.

China is now in its best historical period in nearly two hundred years. Although there are still many institutional drawbacks and unresolved contradictions in society, it is politically stable, the process of legalization has begun, and the market economy has taken shape and is on the right track. China in 2 1 century is full of opportunities for the growth and development of all kinds of talents.

However, we should also see that the increasingly fierce competition for talents, the difficulty of college students' employment and the high unemployment rate all make our employment environment look pessimistic, which makes it even more necessary to make targeted career plans on the basis of analyzing the current social situation.

2. Occupational environment analysis

Whether we have a profound understanding of a profession will be related to whether we can firmly establish our career direction and establish clear career goals for a long time.

(1) What is occupational environment analysis?

Occupational environment analysis means that we need to clearly understand the development process of the selected occupation in the social environment and its current social status, as well as the impact of social development trends on the occupation. Including the development trend of occupation, the development trend of five factors in occupation connotation (social division of labor, specialized knowledge and skills, ways of creating wealth, remuneration level, degree of meeting demand).

(2) Why do you want to do occupational environment analysis?

The development of national economy and the progress of science and technology will definitely lead to the changes of social occupational structure, new occupations will appear, some occupations will decline, or some occupations will exist, but their related attributes or connotations have changed.

Whether we can predict the development trend of a profession, whether we can predict the evolution of professional connotation and whether we can have a deep understanding of a profession will be related to whether we can find or create a career platform suitable for our life development and effectively plan our career on the basis of grasping the changes in social environment.

If you want to seize the opportunity, establish a clear career goal, effectively reduce the opportunity cost and reduce the risk of choice, then in-depth occupational environment analysis is an essential and important part.

What impact and demand does the social development trend have on the present occupation? Is this career you choose a career that society needs more and more? Enterprises are competitive in this industry, are there any development opportunities? How do you maintain your core competitiveness in your chosen career? What are the possible risks? We can get enlightenment or answer through effective occupational environment analysis.

3. Personal cases of social environment analysis and occupational environment analysis

Case 1

Ms. Sun, ten-year planning, human resources manager.

At present, China has made great achievements in reform and opening up, and has become one of the fastest growing regions in the world. The market economy with China characteristics is becoming more and more mature, the pace of reform and reorganization of state-owned enterprises is accelerating, small and medium-sized enterprises and private enterprises are booming, and foreign companies and funds are pouring in.

After joining the WTO, China has fully integrated into the international community. Nowadays, talents are the foundation of enterprises. After China's entry into WTO, small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs in China will face talent competition from foreign enterprises. Therefore, the position of human resource management in enterprises will become more and more important, which requires a complete set of human resource planning that matches the strategic management of enterprises and a good personnel incentive system.

Facing the new competitive environment and challenges, effective human resource management will become an important link for enterprises to gain competitive advantage. The strategic management of personnel, the most important asset in enterprise organizations, should be the important mission of the top leaders of enterprise organizations in the 2 1 century, which will also be the biggest secret for enterprise organizations to obtain maximum value-added and rich profit returns, and also the fundamental difference between excellent organizations and general organizations. Therefore, human resource management is a sunrise career with great development prospects.

Comments: This analysis combines social environment analysis with occupational environment analysis, and the viewpoint is clear and correct.
