Psychological preparation here mainly includes confidence, patience and risk tolerance. First of all, confidence and patience are necessary. Since it is difficult to change careers overnight, you can only change your space with time.
However, under the influence of repeated disappointments, long-term rejection and external noise, people who pursue their dreams will become negative, suspicious and even deny themselves. These negative emotions are not terrible. The terrible thing is that they lose motivation under the influence of emotions, stop staring at every opportunity, stop actively looking for a way out, and finally their brains are getting slower and slower, and they are too lazy to think of ways to solve problems.
Believing in your choice and being willing to spend time and energy looking for and waiting for it are the most basic ideological basis before changing careers. At the same time, whether you can successfully change careers is still unknown. In addition to taking certain risks, we should also lower our expectations at the beginning to avoid a big gap and eventually affect our normal work and life.
2. Reasonable self-positioning.
The most important step in changing careers with zero experience is self-positioning. Positioning determines the direction of subsequent behavior, and whether the positioning is reasonable basically determines whether the career change can be successful.
From the heart, we should completely erase the past experience, turn it back into a blank sheet of paper, and look for a new job with humility, prudence, respect and even awe like a newly graduated student.
Based on our own objective conditions, we should make a careful analysis. Some work contents seem irrelevant, but the required abilities are essentially the same, and some work experience has nothing to do with the new job we want to find later. By analyzing the past experience, we can sum up what kind of foundation we have in the new direction and find the best starting point.
There are many factors to consider in self-positioning, and the methods and skills are different. Want to know more about how to position yourself.
I. Subjective reasons:
1, there is no clear career planning and analysis of their own strengths and weaknesses, they don't know the situation of different industries, and they have no choice.
2. I can't let go of the sunk cost and don't want to leave the comfort zone. There are many unrealistic fantasies, but they are rarely put into practice.
Second, objective reasons.
In the past, there was a lack of matching between industry and experience, and the interview opportunity was zero, which led to high morale, then decline, and finally exhaustion.
