Seek a career plan for college students

Career planning is important for people of all working ages. For young people who are just starting out in society, career planning will have a significant impact on their lifelong achievements.

To do a good job in career planning, we should analyze three aspects:

1. What occupations are suitable for me;

2. Whether my company can provide such positions and career paths;

3. Among the occupations that you are suitable for, which ones are urgently needed for social development?

Studying what kind of jobs I am suitable for is the key and foundation of career planning;

To answer this question, the following factors should be considered:

1. The stage of career development I am in, 2. My professional orientation, 3. My skills, 4. My career anchor, 5. My career interests.

There are four stages of career development in life:

1. Exploration stage: between 15 and 24 years old;

2. Establishment stage: between the ages of 24 and 44, this stage is the core part of most people's work cycle. This stage consists of three sub-stages: the trial sub-stage (between the ages of 25 and 30), the stabilization sub-stage (between the ages of 30 and 40), and the mid-career crisis stage (at some point between the 30s and 40s);

3. Maintenance stage: 45 years old and 65;

4. Decline stage: over 66 years old, when retirement is approaching. People at different stages of career development should think about different things.

For example, in the exploration stage, you can do more experiments, explore, and find out your professional orientation, career anchor, career interests, etc., in your work, and gradually find the most suitable career for yourself. People over the age of 40 should not try too much, but should carefully analyze their career anchor and career orientation, and choose a career in which they have advantages to make long-term plans.

For example, in China, as a professional footballer, it is time to retire at the age of 30; And as a professor, 30 years old is almost the youngest.

John Holland's research found that different people have different personality traits, and different personality traits are suitable for different occupations, which John Holland divided into six occupational orientations (types):

1. Practical orientation, 2. Research orientation, 3. Social orientation, 4. Conventional orientation, 5. Enterprise orientation, 6. Artistic orientation.

Each occupational orientation is suitable for a specific number of occupations. Through a series of tests, a person's occupational orientation can be determined. If a professional has determined his or her career orientation, he or she can choose from a number of corresponding occupations.
