A student asked:Is the Career Planning Contest Meaningful? I am very much in favor of career planning. But I don't know how to compare my career plan with other people's plans? What's the point?part 1Let's talk about the significance of the competitionI understand your frustration, you have carefully prepared to participate in the competition but have been pointed out that your positioning is too low, so you feel that finding a career that matches your abilities, how can it be related to positioning? So that's what we didn't know enough about the competitionUnderlying logic, did not read through the contestJudging RulesAs far as the competition I participated in recently, it was originally carefully prepared, but the judges said that my positioning was too low, an ordinary second-class college, my own various abilities are not up to the bottom, what kind of job can I find in the society, and I will be criticized for being criticized for being useless if I choose according to the actual situation?
Judging rules for the growth track.
The first article of the rules of the two tracks of the evaluation rules of the employment track is to haveFeelings of family and country, value pursuit, dedicationWait, this is the tournament point, tooEducation with Chinese characteristics。The whole person education that university education has always emphasized, no matter which major or discipline, should first complete the "whole person" humanities and personality education, and then professional education, which is the "root" of human beings. In 2014, a translation of a book attracted attention with the author's self-recommended slogan – "Excellence Without a Soul: How Harvard University Forgot the Purpose of Education." The author of this book, Harry Lewish.He taught at Harvard University for more than 30 years and served as president for eight years. Based on his own experience, he analysed how this prestigious university had deviated from the fundamental purpose of education to train young people to become socially responsible adults. The idea of "excellence without a soul" is sharp and thought-provoking, and it reveals the author's reflection and repentance: although the students produced by the school may become the business or political elite after graduation, they may lose their sense of responsibility and correct values.
Coincidentally, Xu Kaiwen, a teacher at Peking University's Crisis Intervention Center, made a similar discovery. Through the survey, Professor Xu Kaiwen found that 30% of the students at Peking University suffer from "hollow heart disease" - they do not know what they want and do not understand the meaning of life. Teacher Xu Kaiwen also found that the traditional psychological method almost did not work for these students, and even some extreme students chose to "give up on themselves". One student told him, "I don't know why I'm studying, and I don't know why I'm living." As a result, Xu Kaiwen proposed the concept of "hollow heart disease", and he believes that the core of the problem lies in "the lack of values that support students' sense of meaning and existence".
These "other people's children" who have stood out in the competition for more than ten years of hard study and study, although they have achieved relative success, the emptiness in their hearts cannot be filled. Therefore, Mr. Xu Kaiwen proposed the concept of "hollow heart disease", and he believes that the core problem behind this phenomenon is that students lack the right values to support their sense of meaning and existence.
Therefore, what career education needs to answer is the question of "how to allocate life resources", and the core that supports this life theme is our judgment standard for whether it is good or bad and whether it is worthwhile, that is, professional values.
For example, the couriers who moved us during the epidemic, the angels in white who traveled retrograde, and the people's soldiers who fought against floods and disaster relief, etc., did not show the value of their careers"What can I get out of my career"., rather"What can I bring to the world".。Not only these special professions, but even other jobs, professional values have a dual attribute. For marketing positions, it is not only about selling things, but also about how to bring real value and meaningful demand for products or services to the public.
The "social value" attribute of occupation is an intrinsic value of Chinese civilization, which has continued since ancient times. For example, the sages advocated that intellectuals should have the ambition and mind of "opening peace for all generations", "serving conscience", and "serving the world for the public". The value conveyed by the competition is how to understand the melody of the times of "unity of family and country" and "only with a country" and "only with a country" of "individual" and "collective" can there be a home.
Therefore, the judges' positioning for you is not high, not that the career choice is wrong, but that the career positioning you present needs to be extended around social needs and human development, and what you need is a thorough analysis:
How did you come to make your career choice?When you're just stating:What is your career orientation?
What is your career mission?
What are the competency requirements for the professional position, what is your career development path, and what are your future plansThis is just a statement of information that can be searched on the Internet, because it lacks a soul, and lacks a college student's college education from entering college to exploring career needsAbility growth path and iterative process of thinking and cognition。Returning to the sense of holding the competition itself, the Ministry of Education spends manpower, material and financial resources to hold the competition, not to make a show, but to promote a reform.
A pedagogical reform based on the integration of the university siege with the outside worldI once asked students: Do you think the career planning and career guidance courses in the university will help you in your job search? Most of the students said:Yes, but not much. Why is it not big, because many courses are divorced from reality in the process of teaching, so we need to change from "knowledge education" to "action education", from "theoretical education" to "practical education", and promote students to see the outside world and understand what the real job is like through competitions, rather than just to complete a competition. Therefore, through the form of the scoring criteria of the competition, the content and work that need to be prepared for job hunting and employment are subdivided, so as to help students find the meaning of life based on career needs, social needs, and professional missions. Let's talk about why the competition schedule is one year, because in one year, students need to act, to precipitate, to think, to feedback, to review, to do many, many things that cannot be done in the classroom.
I have also been thinking about why in the same 4 years, some students have a fruitful internship experience when they graduate, while some students can only say: I am"Three no-students".
Because the perception is different. What is a university? I think college should be the starting point of one's career. In college, students with high cognition already know that they are going to start to fade from "student thinking" to "workplace thinking", while some students are still enjoying the "retirement" life of "raining, no urine, graduate school entrance examination, not looking for a job, chasing dramas in the nest, and waiting for takeaways". 
Therefore, the college student career planning competition is a very good carrier, which can promote students to enrich their own experience. part 2
Spot an opportunity and decide where to goWhen I saw this problem, two months had passed, and I think your frustration was gone, but at that moment, because of being denied and questioned, your emotions were inexplicably lost. This is a normal emotional feeling for a person. Therefore, it is also the responsibility of the instructor to pay attention to the feelings of the students in the competition. Because their minds are still immature, they need appropriate guidance from teachers when they encounter blows and setbacks in their lives. I once saw a girl, her career goal is to be a teacher, but for various reasons, she has not yet obtained the teaching certificate, when the ** committee asked her why she has not passed the exam, maybe the ** committee is more harsh. She couldn't answer, and felt that even if she explained the reason for not taking the test, she felt that she was "quibbling". So after the competition, she used the word "guilty" to describe herself, feeling that she was disgraced and couldn't hold her head up in the future, and she regretted why she chose to participate in the competition. 
I was really scared when I saw that a student would describe himself like that just because he was being questioned by the judges. So what I want to tell you is that the competition is a stage to show yourself, no matter what kind of problems you encounter, don't question yourself. Because in just a few minutes, others can't see "all" of you, the real you, the hard work of you, you may be nervous, because of incomplete information, there is no "perfect" display from the perspective of the competition, but the brave you who can stand on the stage is the real "strong". And other people's evaluations and opinions are only based on his cognitive level of views or suggestions, if it is beneficial to yourself, absorb it, this is not a kind of growth, and if you firmly believe that his evaluation is wrong, then do your best. Internal friction is a person's maximum energy consumption. 
Remember: don't spend any energy on irrelevant people and things. No one can define you, except yourself. I think the biggest significance of a competition should be to make students realize that they still have a lot of potential to develop, realize that there is still a long way to go, and realize that many times, we have to face a lonely struggle.
