One day before, more than a year ago, I received a case study from a college student.

The girl who came to consult is Xiaomin (a pseudonym). The first sentence she entered into the studio was: “Mr. Xiaoli, do you remember me? I mentioned it to you a year ago. Question, you gave me some suggestions, and gave me some encouragement, I am very impressed. I did not expect to see you today, feel the same as dreaming.”

Xiao Min was wearing a white T-shirt, and in a pair of smart eyes, flashing happy tears.

I smiled and greeted her to sit down. The assistant handed her a glass of lemonade.

Oh, this girl, how can I forget it?

My mind is quickly showing little bit about Xiaomin-

Xiao Min, a junior college student in three colleges, majoring in biology, but learning is very painful;

There are two choices now. Is it a postgraduate or employment?

If the postgraduate entrance examination, what direction is the school?

If you are employed, how can you find a career that suits you?

It’s really hard to realize the importance of career planning during the third year like Xiaomin. From my experience, it’s better to wait for the remedy after the crisis. Planning and control are much more difficult.

In many of the consulting cases I have contacted, many people in the workplace just because they lacked forward-thinking about their careers before entering the workplace, which led them to make one mistake after another, and it is terrible. These mistakes will eventually push them into an abnormally passive situation like dominoes, and eventually it will take a lot of time and cost to make up for these mistakes.

Compared with the 30-year-old consultant Aning (a pseudonym) is not so lucky.

Anning graduated from a three-academic college. In the same year, Xiaomin’s situation was somewhat similar. That is, the major he studied was not his favorite. When she first entered the school, she was not clear. What I am good at, I don’t know what I can do, but with regard to career planning, my mind is even blank.

After looking for a few months of work in the talent market, Anin reluctantly found that the units he saw were not looking at themselves, and the thresholds of these units wereVery high, some HR read the resume directly to tell her: “We only recruit 1985/211 school graduates, unless you can prove that they are more suitable for us than their position, or you go to other places to see it?”

After being hit by a series of blows, Aning gradually became disheartened. She felt that she had nothing to do. In a big city, she did not have her own place. Think about the inexplicable sadness and sorrow.

In this context, Aning’s requirements for work are getting lower and lower. She feels that she is willing to do as long as she is willing to take her and give her basic living expenses.

Moreover, Aning often heard people say that she first went to work and then chose a job, so she went to a supermarket to do the cash register.

The result, one step by step, when she came to consult with Aning, her resume was full of cash register, telephone sales and clerical work experience. As she grew older, her development became more and more Narrow, transformation is getting harder and harder.

Compared with this, some college students in Aning have already started their own business as a boss, and some have achieved the position of senior executives in the company. The same starting point, why did Aning step into the trap and get into the predicament of today?

To illustrate the reasons behind, we need to understand these concepts –

1, scarcity and scarcity mentality

Scarcity, as the name suggests, refers to the feeling that “owning” is less than “need”.

For example, when Aning found a job and hit the wall repeatedly, the landlord urged her to pay the rent, so at that time, she urgently needed to find a job to earn money to solve the urgent need.

The scarcity mentality refers to the way of thinking and behavior in this scarcity state.

For example, when Aning just graduated, she wanted to pick a job that suits her. But under the pressure of lack of money, she quickly gave up on this idea and turned to find a job. (such as the cash register), although this job may not be suitable for her, and there is no room for development, but it can solve the urgent need.

2, Bandwidth and Views

Bandwidth refers to the mental capacity, that is, the number of questions we think at the same time, including two abilities, cognitive ability and executive control.

Under the scarcity mentality, our bandwidth tends to drop to a low level, and it is occupied by urgent affairs. Thinking is often lacking in forward-looking.

For example, when Aning was in desperate need of a job, she could hardly think about the following questions when she was looking for a job:

1) Where is my potential and strengths? Is this job suitable for me?

2) What kind of improvement can it bring to me? What is my career goal?

3) What is the promotion mechanism of this company? Is it worth the long-term development?

Wait.

In the state of lack of money, Aning only thought of one point, that is, can the salary of this job be enough for me to pay the rent?

The peek is short-sighted.

For example, Aning will choose the cashier’s job for rent, but she will never think about the negative impact of this job on her future career development. In addition, considering only the immediate salary without considering other factors is a typical peek (short-sighted) performance.

3, low cognitive ability, poor executive control

Anning told me that when she reviewed this experience, she felt that she could not say it, and she regretted it. However, on the one hand, she did not know what she was suitable for, and on the other hand, she wanted to make a living first. After a year of work, she decided to resign and hoped to find a better job.

But when she went out, she realized that the reality was even more cruel. In addition to her cashier, she had nothing to do with it. After a while, she still couldn’t find a good job opportunity. In a hurry, she began to lower the standard. Can only look for cashier, telephone sales or clerical work without a threshold.

People often say that a person’s fate turning point is actually a few, the college entrance examination is undoubtedly a major turning point.

The college entrance examination is essentially a knockout.

As everyone knows, the time for the college entrance examination is in the hot summer days. It can pass the college entrance examination and can play well. Most of the students who are admitted to the 985 and 211 universities often have such important qualities–

1, strong pressure resistance;

2, strong learning ability, high bandwidth;

3, have good time management and self-control;

4, strong motivation for achievement;

5. With a successful experience, it is easier to build a confident and optimistic character;

Wait.

This is precisely the important reason why many companies value their academic qualifications, graduate schools and even certificates when recruiting.

When I was a trainer, some students were quite puzzled about the phenomenon that companies value CPA certificates. They felt that it was not a paper certificate. Why didn’t the company recognize this?

Know that the CPA exam itself is a long and arduous battle.

A person who can make this thing, if it is not a strong interest or desire for the finance profession, if it can not withstand the pressure, can not effectively manage the time to prepare, if not self-disciplined and hard work, It is impossible to test at all. Therefore, those who can pass the CPA exam have already had the basic qualities of a good financial person in the company’s view.

As for practical ability and industry knowledge, it is easier to cultivate than the quality itself.

According to the iceberg model theory, what really affects a person’s professional performance is precisely the deeper things below the iceberg, which is the inner quality of a person.

Anning in his thirties told me that if he was able to work hard when he was at school, he would not miss the key middle school because of a few points;

If you can be shameful in high school and then fight hard, you will not find it when you report your volunteers. There are only a few schools that you can choose, and you don’t know anything about what you are studying. Because he doesn’t know which subject he is good at, he has written a professional according to his family’s suggestion;

A few years of college time, I was immersed in complaining about my family, eating, drinking and having fun all the time. I didn’t learn much at all. After I finished my career, I found out that the school’s own is uncompetitive…

Along the way, she found that she was exhausted every day. What is even more cruel is that time is gone.

The road to life is really a step. I have discovered that I have tried to overcome the hard work and hard work, but now I have to redouble my time and energy. I know why today, why should it be? “Aning said with emotion.

Anning after the consultation, under my suggestion, I decided to face the reality and re-learn a skill from scratch.

After the consultation, Xiaomin finally made up his mind to try to take the graduate students of a Chinese university that he liked, and completely separated from the profession he did not like, and set foot on a new journey.

I suddenly remembered a sentence –

“Everyone is running on their own tracks, they all have their own time zones; and in your time zone, oneCut is very punctual.

The bright and beautiful life begins just the moment you let go of your little cleverness and decide to be down-to-earth.
