Abstract: The work nature of college counselors is special, which not only includes personal career pursuit, but also shoulders the heavy responsibility of school teaching objectives. Considering the particularity of counselors' profession, colleges and universities should plan counselors' work and counselors themselves should plan their careers. Doing a good job in career planning of college counselors can not only improve the quality of college students' counseling, but also enhance the enthusiasm of counselors' work, and finally cultivate a group of outstanding college students and make great contributions to the school, society and country. Based on the current situation of college counselors' work, this paper analyzes the subjective and objective problems existing in counselors' work at this stage, and puts forward some suggestions for doing a good job in counselors' career planning.
Keywords: college counselors; Career planning; problem analysis
First, the current problems in the work of college counselors and analysis
(A) the occupation orientation is not clear, and the sense of independent work is weak.
In addition to teaching, the work of college counselors also includes students' daily counseling, which not only involves students' study, but also includes students' life, employment, mental health, interpersonal relationships and other aspects. In addition, counselors also participate in various social activities carried out by schools or colleges. The content is messy and there is no clear professional scope. It seems that all the work related to students is included. To a certain extent, he has become the "class teacher" of students, but there is no clear responsibility requirement for the work of counselors, so counselors often lack a sense of accomplishment after work, resulting in low work efficiency, low enthusiasm and lack of independent work needs.
(B) a wide range of professional content, low work initiative
College counselors are often college graduates or graduate students with good higher education, so their ideological and political quality and professional quality are still very good. However, due to the complexity of counselors' work and the lack of complete career planning, they will encounter many difficulties in their work. When counselors encounter difficulties in their work, they often muddle along, without in-depth analysis of the problems encountered, summary of innovation and lack of work experience, so their professional quality has not improved, but has declined a lot. According to Liu Jiaoshou's conclusion of career planning for H college counselors from the perspective of talent evaluation, only a few college counselors can make a relatively complete career plan. The analysis shows that the main reason why college counselors lack or unreasonable career planning for their own work is that their career development is not smooth. Counselors' work is not only arduous, but also needs to deal with complex interpersonal relationships, so there are many problems in college counselors' career planning, and it is difficult to make a reasonable career planning.
(3) The content of career planning is single and lacks systematicness.
Career planning of college counselors lacks systematicness and comprehensiveness. They can't reasonably evaluate their working conditions and make unreasonable career plans in combination with their career aspirations. There are also some counselors who think too much about their hobbies and lack a comprehensive analysis of themselves when making personal career plans; There are also some counselors who do not consider the objective environment and the development of the times when planning their careers, and cannot look at their career prospects with a developmental perspective. Generally speaking, many counselors lack systematic career planning, which leads to unsatisfactory career and inadequate personal value.
(D) The key development goals of colleges and universities are inconsistent with the professional content of counselors.
The key development goal of colleges and universities is academic research and attaches importance to the establishment of master's and doctoral programs. Attach importance to scientific research indicators such as invention patents and academic construction. The work of counselors focuses more on the cultivation of students' ideological and moral construction and pays more attention to students. In all aspects of daily life, schools do not attach importance to the content of counselors' work, so the focus of counselors' work is inconsistent with the construction of schools, which brings a great blow to counselors' enthusiasm and is not conducive to the innovation and development of counselors' work.
(E) The school lacks communication with counselors.
In recent years, although colleges and universities emphasize the importance of strengthening students' ideological and moral construction and paying attention to students' all-round development, they have not communicated with counselors who have the most contact with students in the process of work, ignoring the important role of counselors' work in the process of ideological and moral construction. This will lead to the lack of mature feedback on the school's policy implementation and the lack of exchange of opinions between the school and the counselors, which is not conducive to the smooth development of the counselor's work.
Second, on the counselor's career planning recommendations
(A) Building a career planning platform for counselors
There are a large number of experienced career planning teachers in colleges and universities, who often provide career planning guidance for experienced students, so colleges and universities can consider using these resources to make career planning for counselors. From the school's point of view, bringing the counselor work into the school's development strategy, giving full play to the advantages of counselors in their daily work and giving full play to their talents can provide positive impetus for the school's development; From the personal point of view of counselors, it is also the realization of self-worth, which is conducive to building and cultivating a group of professional and high-quality student counseling teams. Colleges and universities should start from the following points when planning the career of counselors:
1. Send counselors and teachers with high comprehensive quality to teach in the school.
When selecting counselors in colleges and universities, we should strictly check and select a group of people with good comprehensive quality as college counselors teachers according to the recruitment standards and procedures. At the same time, in order to benefit the development of counselors themselves, the selected counselors should have certain career planning ability, so as to find a balance between their own work and career planning when dealing with the complexity of counselors' work. In the specific assessment, we should first examine the academic performance and political performance of the counselors, and then have a certain understanding of the work aspirations and life ideals of the selected talents, so as to determine whether they are suitable for the counselor's work. Secondly, the interest, ability and temperament of the counselor should be investigated during the interview. These reflect the life pursuit of counselors to a certain extent, and are also related to whether counselors can be recognized by everyone in their future development. Finally, it is necessary to understand the teaching strategies and work strategies of counselors to determine whether they have enough patience to complete the daily management and training of students. Whether you can become an excellent educator, whether you are competent for the education of counselors and the ideological education of students.
2. Improve relevant systems to ensure the development of counselors.
Counselors have complex work contents and heavy tasks. They are the main force of ideological and political education in schools, and also the managers and decision makers of students' daily work. Schools should pay full attention to the nature of counselors' work, formulate policies that are conducive to ensuring the smooth development of counselors' work, safeguard their core interests, and establish a strong team of counselors. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the career planning consciousness of counselors and incorporate the cultivation of counselors into the talent training plan of the school; Secondly, in order to improve the training of counselors, after completing a stage of work, we should arrange counselors to carry out training activities, help counselors summarize and sort out the work at this stage, summarize new working modes, realize management innovation, and make faster progress; Finally, we can consider assigning tasks to counselors, that is, assigning counselors to engage in psychological counseling respectively. Career planning; Ideological and political education and student activity counseling can not only reduce the workload of counselors, but also improve the management efficiency of schools and establish excellent management teams.
3. Improve the development mechanism of counselors and expand their career space.
Counselors should develop themselves from two aspects. On the one hand, it is the professional development path, that is, they should take the profession of counselor seriously. On the career path, counselors should improve their professional level through layer-by-layer assessment, and it is necessary to pass some professional qualification examinations, such as psychological counselors. In addition, we should take the road of experts. Counselors should be professional. After taking the post of counselor, we should gradually sum up our experience from our work. Schools should also carry out counselor training activities that meet their own school conditions, develop the potential of counselors, and make counselors become expert counselors, who can handle all the work in students' daily life with ease. In terms of expanding the development space of counselors, we can consider setting the title of counselors, similar to the system of teaching assistants, lecturers and professors, and setting up an evaluation system of counselors' ability level to encourage counselors to learn and improve. In addition, it is necessary to select talents suitable for the administrative management industry from excellent counselors, solve some difficulties in their lives, create a good working environment and living environment for counselors, and let them have competition in their work and hope for life, thus attractively improving the comprehensive strength of the counselor team.
(B) combined with their own needs, counselors should do a good job in their own career planning.
Counselors should objectively evaluate themselves and put forward practical development goals according to their own conditions before making career plans for themselves.
Counselors should first analyze their own personality, ambition, knowledge and skills, determine their own strengths and weaknesses, carefully determine whether they are suitable for counselors' jobs when planning, and then determine their own development direction, whether to be ideological and political counseling experts or managers of students' daily life affairs. If you are not suitable for college counselors, you should quit college in time and find a job that suits you.
For example, graduates from a medical university have made reasonable career plans after graduation. In life and teaching, they are not only students' "intimate friends", but also students' role models. He not only pays attention to his own development, but also pays attention to the cultivation of professional ability, and has achieved excellent results in all counselor competitions.
Second, we should do a good job in development planning. Without a plan, there is no direction to work hard. For the long-term development in the future, counselors should learn knowledge, improve their own ability, learn from others' experience, constantly sum up and innovate, and realize their own good development while doing their job well.
For example, Pan Tian, a college counselor, has achieved excellent work performance by being strict with himself and actively learning and summing up experience during his five-year work, which has not only been welcomed by colleagues and classmates, but also achieved his own professional development. Therefore, counselors should strive to sum up experience, overcome difficulties and achieve self-growth.
Finally, we should establish the concept of compound talents. Counselors have a lot of work, which involves all aspects of teaching and business management. If you want to do a good job as a counselor, you must learn all aspects of knowledge and skills, both theory and practice. If you can't muddle along, the work without enthusiasm is bound to be invalid.
Three. abstract
Counselors should make their own career plans in the process of work, and schools should also provide some help to counselors and teachers in view of some existing problems. Only by helping counselors to establish a sound career plan can we establish a strong management team of counselors, train outstanding talents and realize the leap-forward development of the school.
