In recent years, the IT industry has developed rapidly and the competition for IT talents is fierce. In addition to those who have been engaged in it jobs, there are also a large number of reserve forces who want to engage in IT. IT, a sunrise industry, involves a wide range of fields and is also an industry with frequent personnel flow. How to maintain the sustained and stable development of the profession in this frequent flow? What qualities should IT people possess? What kind of platform is good for your career development? These are all questions that IT people and quasi-IT people should think about.
1.Which field of IT is suitable for you?
Li Ming graduated from a university in Zhejiang Province this year, majoring in computer science. It was also a good prospect to apply for this major. In school, software, hardware, network and other courses are involved. Li Ming studies very hard and his grades have always been good. However, when choosing a job, I can't find the direction at all. I only know to be a professional IT industry, but I never knew there were so many fields in IT, even though the same field contained many different jobs. Li Ming didn't know which one was right for him, so he almost submitted his resume when he saw it.
What is suitable for doing is not subjective, but must be revealed by objective factors. The objective factors here refer to the internal character. The internal individuality here is different from the individuality or individuality in life. It refers to the "personality" in the profession, which reflects the psychological characteristics and tendencies of individuals in their work. Through the analysis of internal personality, we can get what a person is good at, how he likes to work, the style of interacting with people at work and the strength of judgment and decision-making ability.
As we all know, IT, as a big industry, involves a wide range of fields, including software, hardware, network, communication and other electronic directions. IT people and quasi-IT people often encounter such a situation. Although the computer major in universities is mainly based on courses, there is still a big gap between actual operation and theory. I have learned a lot, but I don't know which field can give full play to my ability and which field has good development prospects. Just positioning the employment direction in such a vague range as IT. For newcomers who haven't been in the business for a long time, I'm afraid they are quite experienced in this respect.
Second, analyze their own ability structure.
Liu Yang is the backbone of the company's business, with first-class technology, and has participated in the development of several major projects of the company. The boss is quite satisfied with Liu Yang's performance, and has long planned to promote him. After that, the company took a project and the boss gave it to Liu Yang. Liu Yang was very grateful to his boss for his appreciation and training, and decided to do the project well. But things are not as smooth and simple as Liu Yang thought. Liu Yang was only in charge of technology before, and had no experience in organizing and leading teams. There are some old employees in the project team who are very uncooperative, and Liu Yang doesn't know how to communicate with them. As a result, the work efficiency of the whole project team is low, and the project duration is delayed again and again. The boss is quite dissatisfied with this. Liu Yang felt both innocent and helpless.
Career counselors believe that personal ability can be divided into hard ability and soft ability. Hard abilities include: personal education, professional background, work experience and achievements. Soft ability mainly refers to communication and coordination ability, organizational ability, teamwork spirit and learning ability. A person's ability is the foundation of a job. What kind of ability determines what level a person is in. But in practice, besides "applicability", there are two extremes. First, one's own ability is not recognized, and one's own ability has been achieved but the corresponding position has not been found. Second, when the company promoted it, it did not take into account whether the individual ability was achieved, which caused the professionals to be indifferent. Although the high position is good, if the ability is not reached, it is likely to encounter the trap of Peter's principle.
Specific to IT, professional knowledge and professional background are undoubtedly the keys to open the door to IT for you. At the same time, we also know that it is a rapidly developing and changing industry, and the update of knowledge and technology is faster than that of traditional industries. This requires IT people to have outstanding learning ability. Through the recruitment standards of enterprises in the industry, it can be affirmed that IT-type compound talents are becoming more and more popular. Therefore, if IT people want to have lasting development, they should analyze their own abilities, especially soft abilities, besides their professional background. Because soft ability plays an important role in your work decision.
Third, the post quality requirements of the IT industry
Wang Jun's impression doesn't quite conform to the image of IT people in most people's ideas. He is a person with a strong desire to express and communicate. Wang Jun has worked in R&D department for two years. His colleagues are good at communicating with machines by code, but they are taciturn and not good at communicating with others. Wang Jun felt very uncomfortable in this environment. So Wang Jun applied to work in the marketing department of a well-known company in IT industry after leaving his post. Wang Jun feels that this job not only gives full play to his technical advantages, but also gives full play to his communication skills, killing two birds with one stone.
Work in the IT industry can be roughly divided into four categories: management, sales, technical support and research and development. The survey shows that communication ability, teamwork, learning ability, sense of responsibility, problem-solving ability, honesty, initiative, understanding ability, adaptability, resistance to setbacks and pressure, practical ability and overall outlook are all necessary qualities for these four jobs, but each has its own emphasis. For example, for managers, the importance of communication ability, responsibility, learning ability and teamwork exceeds the requirements of other dimensions, while for salespeople, communication ability, problem-solving ability, initiative and honesty are four dimensions, for technical support personnel, learning ability, responsibility, teamwork and communication ability are four dimensions, and for R&D personnel, there will be other dimensions.
Career counselors believe that in addition to the most basic professional core qualities, the four types of positions have their own further requirements: among them, managers have higher requirements for "achievement orientation", "time management ability" and "execution"; Technicians have further requirements for "strict attitude", "time management ability" and "oral expression ability"; In addition to the basic professional core quality requirements, salespeople have higher requirements for "oral expression", "organizational ability" and "customer orientation" than other positions; R&D personnel have different requirements for "logical thinking ability", "time management ability" and "rigorous attitude" from other positions.
Fourth, the development space.
After graduating from Yuhua University, she has worked in a small software company for four years. In her own words, "I grew up with this company". Now Yu Hua is the backbone of the company's business and has successfully done many projects. Staying in the same company for four years is very rare for an industry with frequent turnover. Especially in a small company for four years. Yu Hua talked about entering the company at that time. "I was completely coaxed into the company by my boss." In the past four years, although the company has been developing gradually, the speed is really a bit slow. Although the boss is kind to birch, he can put on a bitter gourd face when he mentions a salary increase. It is conceivable that the possibility of a salary increase is almost zero. Seeing that she is old, Yu Hua feels it's time to go. She should try to find a company with more room for development while she is young.
In the process of job hunting, the most common problem encountered by professionals is to compare "salary" with "development space". The author believes that the relationship between them is a problem of interest distribution. Salary represents immediate interests, and development space represents long-term interests. Salary will increase with the development of a person's career, so development is the last word, and it is also a powerful guarantee and foundation for salary increase. Directly connected with the development space is the enterprise platform. When choosing a company, it is not only a big company or a foreign-funded enterprise, so there will be a lot of room for development. Professionals must be clear that the development space is a line of their own career development, which can be composed of many stages and company platforms. When a platform cannot provide development space, it can be re-selected.
In a survey on the working status of IT people, when asked "Under what circumstances would you choose to leave the company", "If you can get a higher salary" topped the list. This reflects a working mentality of IT people. Is a young industry, employees are mostly between the ages of 20 and 40. At the same time, the IT industry is also an industry with frequent personnel flow. In the eyes of many people, the career development of IT people basically stopped at the age of 35, leaving the development problems after the age of 35 to themselves, so the above problems will occur. People who hold this view narrow the scope of IT to technicians. Even so, this view is problematic. The IT people who suffered from the 35-year-old disaster did not make an accurate assessment and preparation for the development space problem, which led to the problem. If they are prepared in advance, these people will develop along the established route or complete the corresponding transformation at an appropriate time.
"What is suitable is the best". Career counselor's suggestion: IT personnel should divide the IT industry into different fields and positions, combine their own abilities and qualities, choose the direction that suits them best, and make corresponding planning preparations for their career, so as to ensure the lasting vitality of career development.
