1 Start with a major.
Of course, there is a premise here, that is, the major you are studying now is indeed a prudent choice for you after the college entrance examination volunteer planning. Many students and parents will fall into a misunderstanding when filling in the college entrance examination volunteers, and will pay more attention to the future employment situation and salary, while ignoring the different interests and personality needs of each child.
If a child whose interest preference is embodied in art goes to finance major, the regularity and calculation ability required by finance major are incompatible with his own characteristics of giving full play to creativity and imagination, and it is difficult to have a better development.
And if the current major happens to be your favorite, you can start by learning professional skills and improving your core competitiveness. During this period, it is very important to combine theory with practice.
Theoretically, it is suggested to read more professional books, listen carefully in professional classes, seek a list of some professional books from teachers after class, and run more libraries. It is impossible to talk on paper, only practice can give you real knowledge. You need to rely on internship to test whether you are suitable for this development path and whether you need to make adjustments.
If the goal after graduation is a certain field, even if you can't enter the leading company in the industry at first, there are many companies of the same type that can try and always learn something when you settle down. These experiences are very helpful for getting your favorite offer in the future.
2 Start with hobbies.
In Holland's career interest theory, the ideal career choice is that individuals can find a career environment that matches their personality types, that is, following their own preferences and interests, they are more likely to get fun and internal satisfaction, and they are most likely to exert their talents.
In addition to studying, college students have a lot of leisure time, so it is also a very good choice to start with their own career planning from hobbies.
Robin Li, CEO of Baidu, once said: "People of all personalities are likely to succeed, just depending on whether you use your character strengths to do things."
For example, you like music, but you may not become a singer. You can become an editor of new media in the field of music and entertainment. Recommend your favorite singers and songs, which will definitely make you feel sincerely satisfied. Then this is a successful career plan.
Grafting your interests into your career, a career path suitable for your own development is not as difficult to plan as you think.
3 from the campus career planning course.
Many colleges and universities have specially set up career planning or career guidance courses. Although many students complain that they are too vague, if the instructors in the school are trained in professional and systematic career planning and career education theory, the content they teach will certainly respect the personality development of each student.
For example, use professional career evaluation tools, such as MBTI personality test, Holland career interest test, career anchor test and so on. Through testing and daily interaction with students, teachers are bound to help students explore themselves, find interest in learning, help students develop their natural potential, cultivate their core competitiveness, teach students to make academic career plans, and give more help to confused children in career development.
How many years can life last? Every time I meet a consultant who starts to get confused after working for a few years and regrets why he wasted his college time, it is always a pity. Therefore, instead of wasting time in confusion, it is better to plan your career as soon as possible and plan your career.
Finally, I want to say to college students that any effort you make is not meaningless and will create value for your future.
