Go away, and some people find themselves in career planning. Work and life are intertwined and cannot be separated.

“What do you want?” This question stunned the consultant Xiaoqiu.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and An Xiaohui was used to this silence. This is a common cold-spot question no matter whether it is in the telecommunications union or in the meeting. The similar thing is: what is your value? What are your expectations of yourself? What kind of person do you want to be…

Xiao Qiu, who graduated from 211 University, wants to switch to development after three years of software testing.

One hour before the consultation, Xiaoqiu said “the current job is not saturated, the leadership does not value, the IT environment in Wuhan is not good”, and then slowly confided that “the rapid development of students who graduated in the same period and went to Beijing and Shenzhen , The parents want him to go home to test the teacher’s expectations”, and then get stuck.

“Defined by the outside world, compared with people, who is’I’? Circle around and disappeared.” Across the phone, An Xiaohui felt that Xiaoqiu was “not focusing.”

“What is your ideal life state? Is there anyone around you that you admire? What is it like? Can your current job satisfy your expected life state?…”

Xiao Qiu began to say the sentence beginning with “I think, I think, I should”. This time, the subject is no longer Xiao Qiu’s boss, classmates and family, but himself.

Guiding Xiaoqiu to think about the real vision for the future, An Xiaohui felt that the other party “finally gave up.”

In the eyes of An Xiaohui, the best analysis is those who have goals but don’t know how to achieve them. They at least know where they are going.

The more general experience is “As long as one starts to seek change, it means that there is an unfilled low-level demand. Career planners must tap this demand.”

In the early days of career planning, an oil system consultant impressed An Xiaohui.

The consultant is in his early 20s and his family is from the petroleum system. He is engaged in first-line production safety work. The original job development path points to the workshop team leader and workshop director. The work content is very stable. He wants to be “software development, tourism, product manager” Change in the same direction.

We talked one by one. After two hours of chatting, it was still to no avail. In the end, the consultant said angrily, “It’s still oil.

An Xiaohui still remembers his frustration when he got up from the cafe chair where he met after the consultation.

“He did not dig into his real needs. If he does not jump out of the oil system, is there a job that can meet his needs? What does he want? What is the appeal behind his choice? There is no space, personal talent and ambition Can’t you get it?”

After becoming a freelancer, An Xiaohui participated in offline activities

Technology can be iterated, BUG can be repaired, Life can also be “debugged”

“What do you want”, An Xiaohui is not all asking others, but also being asked by others.

There are career planners, psychologists and workplace coaches in the circle. Psychological counselors supervise each other, and coaches coach each other. At a frequency of 1-2 times a year, An Xiaohui needs a coach to “plan” himself.

After one sharing, although most of the good reviews were received, a few negative reviews are enough to make a hole in An Xiaohui’s heart. “Why is it a bad review?” He couldn’t figure it out.

The workplace coach asked him “What is your value? Did the bad reviews affect your value?”

When examined from another perspective, An Xiaohui felt that “this question is also difficult to answer!”

“What do you really want?” Didn’t he never ask himself.

But when I asked myself, I was often overwhelmed by the momentum, and didn’t want to be so painful, so I hurriedly looked for a rational explanation. “But we should dig, we can’t stop, we can’t avoid.”
