There is a school girl who has graduated for several years. The university blindly followed the crowd and chose the business administration major with the largest number of applicants. But on the eve of graduation, she was confused. She said she didn't know what kind of work she should do. Subconsciously, she feels like she likes marketing, but it is difficult to find a job in marketing without any relevant experience. After that, she will continue to work as a marketing assistant. Later, I learned that she changed four companies within three years after graduation.

In the final analysis, the reason why she took many detours in the process of finding a job is the lack of career planning. Her growth track actually represents the early career of 80% of her classmates. It can be seen that even if the small goal changes, because of the career planning, the in-depth analysis of her interest, personality and ability will not have a big deviation in the general direction. Generally speaking, the ability of each small goal can be migrated to the next small goal, so the overall growth path is positively superimposed.

How to do career planning?

The first step of career planning is to explore yourself and analyze yourself deeply. College students have limited contact circles and do not know much about the external professional world. If you are still in school, it is recommended to do more part-time jobs, practice more, experience the workplace more, and make more friends with professionals. After getting to know yourself and yourself, what job you are interested in, what job you can do and what you want will gradually become clear.

For college students, the choice of the first job is mostly based on interest or ability. If you are interested, but your ability is lacking, then you should take the time to improve your professional ability. This is a way to take part in some training and consolidate learning by surprise. If you choose from the ability, you may not be interested in this job, but it is unrealistic to have too many extravagant hopes when you first enter the workplace. It may be more important to solve your own survival problems and gradually explore the fun of work.

The above is about whether college students should make career planning and how to do it. In short, a job should match interest, ability and value, and then adjust slowly in the continuous development.
