Experts and scholars in different countries have different theories and methods on how to divide the career stages, which can be roughly divided into three types: by age level, by professional level and by management level. Luo Shuangping, an associate researcher at the Institute of Personnel Science who is engaged in career planning research in China, believes that it is more appropriate to take age as a stage, that is, 20 to 30 years old as a stage, 30 to 40 years old as a stage, and so on. Each of us has to go through these stages, so what should you do now? Luo Shuangping talked about his own views for readers' reference.
Twenty to thirty years old: take the first step
The main feature of this stage is from school to work, which is the starting point of career development. How to start is directly related to the success or failure in the future.
One of the main tasks at this stage is to choose a career. On the basis of self-analysis and internal and external environment analysis, choose a career that suits you, set life goals and make a good life plan. Another task is to establish a good image of yourself. How young people behave after entering the professional world has a great influence on their future development. Some young people, especially the newly graduated college students, always think that they have knowledge and culture. After working in the unit, they disdain to do trivial things and can't leave a good impression on their colleagues. It can be said that it is a crisis for the development of young people. Another important task is to continue studying. According to the research of Japanese scientists, 90% of the knowledge needed for a person's life's work is learned after work. This data is enough to illustrate the importance of studying after taking part in work.
30-40 years old: You can't ignore the revised goal.
This period is a person's prime, a period when he can give full play to his talents, get promoted and develop his career rapidly. The task at this time is not only to work hard, show their talents and expand their careers, but also to adjust their careers and modify their goals for many people. People in their thirties should have a clearer understanding of themselves and their environment. See if your chosen career, career path and life goals are in line with reality. If it is not the same, it should be adjusted as soon as possible.
Forty to fifty years old: charge in time
This stage is the harvest season of life, and it is also a period when successful people in their careers show their talents. What makes people of this age accomplish nothing? Focus on finding reasons by yourself and objectively analyzing environmental factors. Don't blame all the reasons on external factors and other people's mistakes. Only by correctly understanding ourselves and finding out the objective reasons can we solve the obstacles to life development and grasp the direction of future efforts.
Another task at this stage is to continue to "charge". Many people will encounter the problem of knowledge updating at this stage, especially in recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, the cycle of knowledge updating is shortening day by day. If you don't charge it in time, it will be difficult to meet the needs of your work and even affect your career development.
50 to 60 years old: Do a good job in career planning in old age.
This stage is a turning point in life. Whether you continue to develop your career or prepare for retirement, you will face a turning point. Due to the progress of medicine and the improvement of living standards, many people can still work healthily at this time or even in the next ten years, so it is very important to make a good career plan in their later years. Japanese workers generally begin to make career plans in their later years at the age of 45; The United States plans its old age at the age of 50. Chinese workers can make career plans in their later years according to their retirement age five years in advance.
The main contents should include the following aspects: first, determine what to do in the twenty or thirty years after your fall, and then make an action plan according to the goal; The second is to learn the job skills after retirement, and it is best to start learning three years before retirement; The third is to understand the relevant policies of re-employment after retirement; The fourth is to find job opportunities. At present, there are talent employment agencies for retirees in China, so you can contact these departments in advance to get their help.
