Remember that sentence? Everything, from hobbies to work, has lost interest. You say that you like programming, so if you are allowed to program 17 and 18 hours every day, and you want to fulfill specific needs instead of creating according to your own ideas, will you still be happy? You said you like writing, but if you were asked to write as required every day and had to change it because of the boss's opinion, would you still like it? In essence, we like the freedom and pleasure brought by creating this thing. Once this pleasure disappears, it's hard to really like it. So when choosing a career, liking is not the most important decision-making factor, but being good at it is the most important. Doing what you like will make the pleasure of interest dull; Only by doing what you are good at can you enjoy doing one thing and enjoy the sense of accomplishment brought by your work more and more. So, how to find what you are good at? Here we provide some methods to help you find the direction you are good at: 1, find your strengths and weaknesses, and find the career type that suits you. Everyone has different characteristics, and these characteristics represent different advantages and disadvantages. Different advantages and disadvantages also represent what we are suitable for in the workplace. For example, people who do technology generally need strong logical thinking ability and need to be able to calm down, which is not suitable for that very active personality. How do you judge your own strengths and weaknesses? In fact, there are many scientific tools now, and vocational assessment is the most mainstream at present. By asking you to answer a series of questions, career evaluation can help you to judge your personality attributes and internal advantages, even some data that you have not found yourself. If you want a professional evaluation, you can search for "new working language" on WeChat. There are professional evaluation tools, which can analyze your personality strengths and weaknesses and recommend the best matching career according to the strengths and weaknesses. According to the arranged career series, how can we find a more promising one? This needs to be judged in combination with the development stage of the industry. 2. Find an industry that is big enough, has potential and is worth joining. Times have changed, and the industry has cycles. If you want to seize the opportunity of career development, you must choose the right industry. It is a natural and inevitable law that an industry starts from its birth, gradually prospers, stabilizes and matures, and then declines. For example, before the 20th century 10 stage, urbanization was the main theme, so the real estate and construction industry flourished at a rate of one year. After 2020, with the gradual completion of the goal of urbanization, the historical mission of the real estate and construction industries is coming to an end, so when it comes to maturity, the future recession is inevitable. After all, this is the cycle of the whole industry. As a practitioner, if you can't enter during the bonus period, your personal career development will definitely be hindered. To put it simply, your salary growth is slow, your job is hard to find, and your promotion space is limited. For students with strong ability, there will be some restrictions on your own development. Therefore, when choosing an industry, we need to consider the following points clearly: (1) The scale of this industry is large enough. If you are in a relatively small industry, or even an industry close to sunset, it will be really uncomfortable as a practitioner. Just like the traditional paper media now, the scale of its own industry is shrinking, enterprises can't make money, it is difficult for practitioners to get dividends themselves, and the work is very uncomfortable. We look at the average salary of the industry calculated by the recruitment website, and the top ranks are all high-tech industries, or (2) the industry is on the rise, usually in the early stage of the industry, and the relative demand for talents is relatively large but the supply is insufficient. At this time, the entry threshold is low. In order to attract talents, the salary given by enterprises will be considerable. If you happen to enter a fast-growing industry at this stage, congratulations, the future growth rate is definitely several times that of your peers. (3) This industry has good development opportunities in your city. Our career choice should also consider the city itself, so whether an industry has opportunities depends on whether the city you want to go to has good opportunities in this industry, or it is entirely possible to find out which cities are more suitable for this industry. Just introduced the principle of choosing industry. Where can we get this information? The first thing to use is a search engine. For example, if you search on Zhihu, you can learn a lot about the industry forecast and analysis in the next decade. Of course, big V's view may be subjective, and we can also go to the recruitment website to inquire about the salary and treatment of the industry. (JMPI refers to talent attraction in the picture) Source: Boss Direct Employment Through this information, we can also understand the current hot industries and help ourselves make more rational decisions. In addition, if we want to know the future development trend of a specific industry, we need to pay attention to the industry report and look it up directly in the search engine! For example, I want to know the development report of smart home industry: Source: iResearch Of course, this information is fragmented and general, so we need to sort it out: First, list the industries that have been collected through information and have good prospects in the next decade; Secondly, understand the company, salary, talent requirements, etc. Through the recruitment website report, or search for related positions; Finally, study the industry report to understand its future market space, current mainstream companies and distribution, talent gap and so on. , and find a suitable starting point. This job may take a few days to complete, but believe me, after understanding this, you will be more rational when choosing your future career. In this way, our career planning industry and career choices within the industry can be basically determined, and finally choose a favorite career as the target career. To sum up, the steps are simple: (1) find your own internal strengths and weaknesses; (2) according to the advantages and disadvantages, professional knowledge and skills, determine the career direction that you are good at; (3) Determine the city to be visited and find the target enterprises and jobs; I am @ New Working Language, and I am committed to helping everyone in the workplace find a career that I love all my life.
