The bad guys we hated didn't get what they deserved, we didn't find a boyfriend in distress, and the son-in-law we expected didn't become white in the workplace. ...
The hidden hidden rules of the workplace in "My First Half Life" are very exciting ... Luo Zijun promised everyone that the career planning article was finally written.
Before reading the article, familiarize yourself with the step chart of this career planning!
Then through the steps, let's see how Zijun started planning step by step.
0 1
Self-knowledge resources
In short, it is to solve the problem of "who am I". Find out what you like and what you can do mainly through interest, personality, ability and vision.
Luo Zijun: 37 years old, divorced single mother, no work experience.
Interests: shopping, beauty.
Personality: enthusiastic and straightforward, optimistic and decisive, kind and patient.
Ability: Excellent network resources (Tang Jing, He Han), fashionable and beautiful, and understand the psychology of consumers in shopping malls.
Vision: Find a stable job, guarantee a basic life and strive for the custody of my son.
From this perspective, Zijun's suitable job should meet the following points:
Good working environment: Mrs. Fu has changed the role of a migrant worker and can't bear hardships for a while.
Close to home, no overtime: convenient for picking up and dropping off children.
Easy to use: because she has no work experience.
02
Analyze career opportunities
Knowing her own resources, can she be competent for all the jobs with good environment, close to home and easy to use?
Not exactly.
Because every profession has certain conditions and requirements for practitioners.
For example, the front desk of a big company, what can she do?
You can't. Although she is also beautiful and fashionable, she is 37 years old after all, and it is obviously unrealistic to compete with young girls in their twenties for jobs.
Remember the first time she went to a shopping mall to apply for the front desk?
Wearing a red coat, high heels and a bag, a lady has a distinct image. Compared with the two young girls who went to the interview at the same time, it seems that they are not from the same world.
As a result, it is conceivable that she was not only euphemistically rejected by the interviewer, but also regarded her as a target consumer, and promoted the anniversary activities of the mall by the way.
Therefore, according to the specific occupation after further analysis, we can know that Zijun's suitable job should be like this:
Industry: Retail/Clothing/FMCG
Position: shopping guide/sales
Location: Moderate distance from home.
Therefore, it should be a good choice to sell in a big shopping mall near home, with low threshold, large turnover and easy access. Besides, she has many years of shopping experience and is familiar with customer psychology.
After deciding to work, Zijun's inner monologue said:
"Waiter, shop assistant, I never thought I would be one of them, as if I was born Mrs. Chen. In fact, after I was proud, I forgot the way I came. I witnessed myself after the day I decided to work. I can humble myself in the dust and witness the plasticity of life. "
And this is not only the beginning of her work, but also the beginning of her transformation.
03
Clear career choice
After having a certain understanding of himself and professional environment, with the help and recommendation of He Han, Zijun got an interview opportunity for luxury goods sales in a shopping mall.
At this point, Zijun has officially defined his career choice: to become a luxury sales person.
In fact, Zijun did not consciously plan his career at this time, nor did he think about the direction and path after becoming a luxury. Only in view of the current situation, she has to find a stable job to compete for the custody of her son.
So when did she start to consciously plan herself? Then look down.
04
Implementation of action plan
After making a clear career choice, Zijun began to prepare for the interview.
He Han explained to her in detail what to do when entering the workplace, how to gain the trust of customers and matters needing attention.
"Every customer who has bought something, you should remember their characteristics and preferences, leave a phone number and email address, and then give accurate consultation according to their characteristics, instead of treating each other indiscriminately. In this way, they have a good feeling of being respected as guests, being re-valued and being treated differently. "
And teach her how to show her advantages in the interview.
As sales, what is the most important thing?
Is to be familiar with your own brand and products.
So in the interview, when asked about the brand, Zijun used his previous shopping experience to answer questions, and the interview mood changed from nervousness to self-confidence and won the praise of the manager.
Finally, she successfully entered the workplace: becoming a luxury goods salesman.
In this position, Zijun experienced the ridicule of Mrs. Kuo's classmates and resolved the embarrassment of meeting her ex-husband and Lingling with a smile.
We saw her progress and growth, the change of mentality, and the honor of winning the sales champion for three consecutive months.
She became more and more comfortable in this position, but at this time, things had new changes and trends.
05
Maintain dynamic adaptation
As luck would have it, Zijun faced the turning point of being transferred to the planning department. But she finally chose to leave her job and start over.
The apparent reason in the play is to leave Laojin and change the environment.
But according to my analysis, she has actually learned to think about her future and career path.
As an older salesman, although her ability is not bad, she won the sales championship for three months in a row, but in fact there is not much development time and display space left for her.
Because of the low threshold for entering sales positions, many people will take sales as the entry point for employment, and the latecomers of young people should not be underestimated. Moreover, sales work is hard and consumes physical strength and energy. The 37-year-old Zijun obviously has no advantage over young people.
In addition, she has gradually realized the sense of accomplishment in her work, so she also hopes to pursue her own development in the workplace like He Han and Tang Jing.
This process is also called dynamic adaptation. When our own conditions and external environment change, we need to revise our career development path and even adjust our career goals.
How did Zijun choose and plan after leaving his post?
She uses her own advantages again, such as her existing work experience, quick self-study ability (studying PS software hard before transferring to the planning department), serious and responsible work attitude, etc. He Han, who has strong connections, got an interview for a job in a market research company.
At this time, her career path gradually became clear: relying on market research companies? The consulting company hopes to make a difference in the workplace, become an elite in the workplace like He Han and Tang Jing, and give some color to those who have underestimated and humiliated her.
Then, Zijun began to implement the action plan of entering the research company.
Here's what she did:
Visit and inspect the company that is about to go to work, and understand the company atmosphere, working environment and methods;
Observe the work experience according to the resume written by He Han, carefully record the daily work status of the front desk, after-sales staff and restaurant waiters in the mall, and fully understand the work experience on the resume;
In order not to delay the interview and give the impression that the family has a heavy burden, please ask He Han to help take the children to the hospital.
After hard work, Zijun finally entered the market research company and became a member of the focus group.
In fact, her career didn't end here.
We will also see that she later left the research company, entered the consulting company, and then returned to the research company, but through the above analysis, we can already roughly see her career track and the efforts of the whole process.
I believe that one day in the future, Zijun will return to the consulting company and strive to become the next Tang Jing.
How do you feel after reading Zijun's career plan?
In this process, I think three points are very important and I would like to share them with you.
1, self-positioning
Self-orientation is who you are, what you want to do, what you are suitable for, and what kind of life you want to live.
Without a clear self-orientation and career goals, you will lack the motivation to move forward and lose the opportunity to become a better self.
Therefore, only by defining the orientation can we determine the career goals and know what action plan to make and how to achieve it.
2. Professional skills
Luo Zijun in the play returned to the workplace, seemingly without any professional skills, but it was not.
The work of luxury goods sales needs to understand products and be familiar with customer psychology, which are the skills accumulated by her previous shopping experience;
Before being transferred to the planning department, she studied PS hard in her spare time because she needed to learn drawing software.
In order to successfully apply for a market research company, she visited the company on the spot to understand the future working status; Carefully record the work of front desk, after-sales and waiters;
In order to quickly adapt to the market research company, she studied hard the internship notes and Lingling's job classification, and volunteered to follow the work demon "Miss Wu".
In fact, she has been studying. So her skills are becoming more and more skilled.
Therefore, no matter what we do, we need to have certain professional skills. In this process, we should keep learning and study for life.
3. Implement actions
No matter how ambitious the goal is, it is no use without action.
In the play, Teacher Wu said to Zijun, "I have met too many people who think twice before you act."
So sometimes if you think too much, it is better to act first. When you have a clear career plan, you should work hard to implement it, and work hard step by step according to the plan, otherwise everything will be like a dream bubble.
Write it at the end
Life has never given us enough time to prepare, and we don't know what will be waiting for us at the next intersection.
So be sure to plan your career in advance, and then walk calmly, don't stay, don't miss it, so as not to be too flustered.
Luo Zijun's story ends here.
And I hope that after reading this article, your career planning can begin.
