Most of us think we know enough about ourselves, but many wrong life choices happen when we don't know ourselves clearly.
The purpose of self-evaluation is to examine one's own value through introspection of past growth experiences. Before looking for a job, college graduates must think about their major, personality, interests and specialties, and make a profound self-analysis. We should know our own abilities, make clear our strengths and weaknesses, choose and infer the possible future work direction according to past experience, give ourselves a scientific and correct social orientation, so as to design a reasonable and feasible career development direction for ourselves and solve the problem of "what can I do?" Self-evaluation should be objective and comprehensive. First of all, the evaluation should be objective and made on the basis of facing up to oneself and reality. Too high or too low evaluation will have a negative impact on your job-hunting mentality; Secondly, the evaluation should be comprehensive, including both its own special quality and comprehensive quality; It includes its own advantages and disadvantages.
(1) Advantage Analysis
Personal advantage is the magic weapon for us to win job hunting and employment. We should find our own unique place, form a distinct self-orientation, display unique signs before recruitment, and let our value be better recognized by recruiters. For their own advantages, can be analyzed from the following angles:
Knowledge. After more than ten years of hard work, what have you learned from the professional courses you have studied? What is the composition of knowledge? Major may not play a big role in the future work, but it will determine your career direction to a certain extent. Therefore, trying to learn professional courses well is one of the prerequisites of career planning. You should be good at summing them up and really turn them into your own wisdom. The reasonable composition of knowledge will meet the needs of society for compound talents.
Experience. What social experience do you have? What are your life experiences and experiences? For college students who just graduated, this is mainly manifested in their positions as student cadres, their participation in or organization of practical activities, and their various awards. These conditions can reflect a person's quality from the side. In self-analysis, we should be good at using past experience to choose and infer future work directions and opportunities.
Grades. What have you done successfully? You may have done many things, but what is successful and what is the most successful? Why is success accidental or inevitable? Through analysis, we can find the superior side of self-character, such as being strong and decisive, which can be used as the driving force and the source of charm for personal deep excavation.
(2) Analysis of Shortcomings Many people don't like to face their own shortcomings and deficiencies. Avoiding illness and seeking medical treatment is a common problem for many people. In fact, shortcomings are not always useless. Knowing your own disadvantages will not make you blindly confident and arrogant; Analyze your own disadvantages, so as not to make yourself feel inferior and depressed for no reason. Similar to advantage analysis, disadvantages can be analyzed from the following angles:
Lack of knowledge. We can't imagine that a person who knows nothing can bring benefits to the enterprise. Did you not learn your major well? Then please try to make up for it. Narrow knowledge? And then dabble extensively from now on. As the saying goes, "it's never too late to learn", but you are still young, it's not too late to mend.
Personality weakness. It will be difficult for an independent person to cooperate tacitly with others, and it will be difficult for an indecisive person to shoulder the heavy responsibility of enterprise managers. Carnegie once said that the weakness of human nature is not terrible. The key is to have a correct understanding, take it seriously, find ways to make up and overcome it, and make yourself perfect.
Lack of experience. Maybe you have failed many times, but you can't find a shortcut to success; I need you to do a job. I haven't touched it before, so I can see that I have insufficient experience. Lack is not terrible. What I am afraid of is that I haven't realized it yet, but I just don't know how to pretend to understand it.
Knowing your own shortcomings can avoid unexpected events when applying for a job, which will lead to unnecessary misunderstanding by employers because of improper handling of your own shortcomings. Therefore, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine for your own shortcomings and try to correct them. First of all, we should strengthen our study. According to their own disadvantages, make the specific content, method and time arrangement of autonomous learning, and try to be practical and easy to operate. Second, engage in social practice. Take the initiative to participate in student activities, contact people of all colors, "not ashamed to ask questions", corresponding to the lack of ability to exercise themselves. Try to exercise your talents in social practice and constantly sum up and improve. If possible, you might as well read more, listen more and write more, and express your gains in words, which will help you improve more directly. Third, we should consult humbly. Family members, classmates, friends, teachers and professional consulting institutions can all be powerful supports for personal improvement, so you should learn to ask others for help. The people who know you best are the people closest to you. Listen to their own experiences, lessons and comments, especially their suggestions and comments on your career choice and life development direction. All kinds of professional consulting institutions have a set of relatively complete evaluation methods in guiding personal understanding and career choice, which can also help individuals deepen their self-awareness and fully understand.
