In a recent career counseling, Zhi Meng received confusion from the counselor: I hate my current job very much, I want to change jobs, but I don't know what I can do? I'm very confused, I'm about to be depressed, what should I do? In fact, every year during the job hunting season and graduation season, Zhi Meng will receive a lot of similar questions.
Choosing a career is really one of the most difficult problems in life.
There are many people who never figure out what they want to do in their lifetime, spend decades in a job they don't like, and end up empty and unhappy.
One of the big reasons for this is that there are really too many industries and professions in the world, and every young person's life experience and vision are extremely limited, so there is no way to make a wise choice, and they can only basically find a job by chance.
The following sharing hopes to give some help to those who are in a confused period.
To do a good job in career positioning, we need to combine ourselves with society, and only on the basis of understanding ourselves and understanding our careers can we find an accurate positioning for ourselves, in short, it is "knowing ourselves and knowing our opponents".
"Confidant" refers to an in-depth understanding and analysis of oneself.
Self-analysis. First of all, you need to think deeply about your personality, interests, and values. These factors will affect your attitude towards work and the direction of your career development. For example, if you are an introvert, you may be better suited for a technical job; If you focus on teamwork, you may be more suitable for a career in management consulting.
Strengths and weaknesses analysis. Analyze your own professional ability, skills, experience and other advantages, as well as your own shortcomings in some aspects. In the process of job hunting, you should highlight your strengths, but also objectively explain your shortcomings and put forward improvement plans.
Career interests and career directions. Identifying your career interests and career development direction will help you better position your job search goals.
"Knowing the other" means looking at what we can do in the professional world.

Select a few areas that you are more interested in, and whose abilities are relatively in line with or willing to improve (refer to the job description in Recruitment**) for in-depth understanding.
