We often see that college students are repeatedly rejected when looking for a job, or they are not to the taste of employers, or they are hesitant in the face of several choices and choose left and right. Everyone faces the same question: what should I do? What am I suitable for? Graduates want to give themselves a career orientation, but they are worried that career orientation will affect their future choice and development. Therefore, many students hold the idea of jumping while walking before going to the society, without seriously thinking about their career orientation and making career plans, and inevitably take many detours. A law graduate was assigned to work in the court after graduation. Although his friends and classmates think his work is very good, he is always unwilling to do it well. In court, his ability improved slowly and he didn't get promoted. He himself has devoted a lot of energy to studying securities, hoping to get rich overnight or become a red vest of securities companies. Four years later, he felt that the time was ripe, so he took a leave of absence alone to sell himself in the talent markets in Shanghai and Beijing, and told others how he was good at analysis and what kind of knowledge and experience he had. But to his surprise, the salary of the accepting unit was far lower than his expectation, and he could not enter the big securities company. I turned around and found that my original idea was unrealistic. So he returned to the court, determined to start from scratch. However, these four years can be said to be a waste for his development in the court. It's hard to locate yourself in three aspects: 1, and you don't know yourself. Some people never seriously think about and understand themselves, but blindly use social hotspots to position themselves. Some people seem to know themselves in the past, but when the environment changes, they may lose themselves. For example, when you enter college in high school, when you move from campus to social employment, when you jump from one unit to another, when you go abroad to work in China and so on. When the environment changes, one's position changes and it is difficult to position oneself. 2. Psychological factors are at work. Many people will be influenced by their own psychological factors when positioning, and it is often difficult to make a rational choice. We often see conformity in job selection; Many people are too self-respecting or self-abased. Because of the differences in personal position, cultural influence, family education mode and personal experience, they will be influenced by psychology to varying degrees and wander in various contradictions. There are too many interference factors for individuals to handle. Sometimes one's own position will be disrupted to be impossible to achieve. For example, when volunteering for the college entrance examination, it may be restricted by parents; Looking for a job after graduation will be restricted by the employment policy and so on; There are also some unfair phenomena and the interference of sudden factors. This often leads you into a fog and you can't find your position and direction. Although graduates don't understand society and occupation and are influenced by various factors, it is difficult to determine their own position. But there is a way to help you and make the problem clearer. No matter how you position yourself, the first thing to consider is your skills, experience and major, which is also the requirement of society; On this basis, we should also consider our own personality characteristics, the nature and place of work, the people involved and the expectations of others. For example, a graduate majoring in international trade in an ordinary university wants to choose three jobs when he graduates: one is to do multinational business in a big company; The second is to go to a company to do sales; The third is to stay in school as a counselor. How to position yourself? He made a list for himself: major: international trade experience: once worked as a salesman in a small company; Skills: Good at communication, but weak in oral English; Personality: like to deal with people, like to see the actual effect; Willing to take risks, pursue new ideas and challenges, and sometimes impatient; Hope to work: respected and free; Able to deal with different people; At first, the salary may not be high, but there is room for development, and more work and more pay; Parents hope to have a stable job; Students think they have the ability to accept the challenge. Through this comparison, he thinks that he should position himself as the second choice. But he encountered another problem, that is, which industries to choose and what kind of sales to do? This is another question we want to talk about: if you find that you can choose many kinds of careers, how do you position yourself? You can take the following measures: put yourself in various positions, and then ask yourself two questions: one is whether you can bear all the problems faced by this position, and the other is whether you are willing to choose the path it guides. So he made another list: large enterprises: standardized management, relatively easy to do, can learn a lot of knowledge, but have little freedom; Small enterprises: irregular management, challenging work, large expansion space, fast promotion, but hard work; IT: The work is innovative, risky and well paid, and it can be changed in this field in the future, but the work is hard, the future is unpredictable and the sense of stability is insufficient; Pharmaceutical industry: It's difficult to work at first, but the future development path is relatively clear, but I'm not studying medicine, and my future development may be hindered. Through this list, graduates think that IT is more acceptable for them to do sales in small and medium-sized enterprises in the IT industry, because for themselves, small development space is more unacceptable than hard and stable work.
