OneWhat is a career pathway?
Career direction is your choice of career, and what career you are preparing to pursue within the time frame of your career planning.
On the path of career, you should first find your own direction and positioning, and then what kind of position you seek. There are many people who try to get certain positions, but they don't know what their profession is.
It is necessary to be clear about one's career direction, which reflects one's motivation for a career, or subjective aspirations.
IIThere are a few things to keep in mind when determining your career direction
(1) You can't be without direction
Why is it important to determine the direction of your career?
No matter how old a person is, the real life begins on the day the goal is set, and the previous days were just going around in circles.
Think about it, have you ever felt like going around in circles in your past experiences?If you've been going around for a few years, do you want to keep going?Remember: a new life begins in a chosen direction.
If you want to determine the direction of your career, you must first choose your career. Someone asked, "Do I have to do this for the rest of my life when I choose this profession?""Not necessarily. In a market economy, people may change four to eight occupations in their lifetime. However, once you decide which profession to engage in in a certain period of time, you should follow the requirements of this profession, establish correct concepts, improve specialized knowledge and skills, and improve your psychological quality, so as to improve your professional level.
(2) It is not possible to have multiple directions at the same time
Life is short, and a person's time and energy are limited, and they can only seek success in one or a few specific professions. When determining the direction of your career, it is important to understand the significance of a particular career in your lifeThink about the roles you might hold in a particular occupation;Is it short-term or long-term development in this profession?
(3) Do not change direction at will
We may change careers four or five times in our lives, but it's not easy to succeed in every one. Therefore, we must be particularly cautious when determining and modifying our career direction.
(4) Direction guides the future
Someone said, "My career is going well now, I am in a period of success, I seem to have climbed to the top of a mountain, look around, the scenery is beautiful, and I am in a good mood!".At this point, do I have to make any more plans?”
Someone else said: "My career is at a low point now, and it is the time when I am unlucky, and everything is not going well." What are the plans?”
IIICareer "clear".
Location & Orientation
On the path of career development, it is not where you are now, but the direction in which you take the next step.
When you are at the pinnacle of success, if you get it wrong, one more step is an abyss!When you are at the bottom of failure, if you find the right direction, there is infinite hope for every step!
On the path to career development, it's not where you are now, it's the direction you take the next step.
Even if you're at the top of a mountain, if you get it in the wrong direction, one more step could be an abyssAlthough you are in a valley now, if you find the right direction, every step you take is an ascent.
