Career development planning

link

In today's China , A person's career development model can be roughly divided into two types .

One is to emphasize “ Position ”（ namely “ job ”）, One is to emphasize “ career ”（ namely “ trade ”）.

The position oriented route is , You enter a company , Try to adapt to the company's environment , Adapt to the company culture , Adapt to your boss's work style , Adapt to your colleagues , Looking for opportunities , Make achievements , Be recognized by the core of power , Follow clear or vague career paths in the company , Step by step .

Adapt to the environment like a duck to water , Or lucky , The development is relatively smooth , From grassroots employees , Develop into a middle manager , A few can even become senior executives .

You can see , This model , More adaptable Within the system , Or big companies .

Large companies within or outside the system , The corporate culture has taken shape , The system is sound , A person is just a small screw , Leave the company platform , You may be nothing , There are only a few jobs that will be subdivided , Habit is a process . And the company , Anyone can turn away . You have nothing Bargaining power , The only shortcut is to hold onto the thighs of those in power .

And the career oriented route is , You should understand from the beginning , What you do is not just a position in the company , It is a link in the industrial chain of social division of labor . This link may be very small , But it must be able to connect to the market at any time , Try to plug and unplug as hot as possible .

You have to be very professional in some way .

You don't have to force yourself to adapt . If you don't adapt to , Job hopping is , You can always find a team with the right temperament and style .

In job hopping , You will realize your professional growth , Instead of waiting in a company , I hope it's my turn to get a promotion .

This model , More adaptable to outside the system 、 Places with a high degree of marketization .

You are not working for a position in this company , But to work for positions that exist in the market , You can regard this kind of work as your lifelong career （ Of course , It still needs to be transformed with the development of society ）.

You don't have to be recognized by some leaders in power in a company , Just get the approval of the market . The leadership here is wrong , bye , Put it elsewhere .

This model has reached the extreme , It is you who constantly seek to recognize yourself in your career 、 Conceptual fit 、 Complementary capabilities “ Business partner ”, When conditions are met , You can start your own business .

And the first model that emphasizes position , It is impossible to have a consistent career , It's hard to find your own “ partner ”. You may have leaders who are highly recognized, admired and trusted / colleagues / subordinate , But I'm sorry , If you are promoted or transferred , People you can't take away . You can only adapt to the manpower arranged for you by the organization .

Take a chestnut , You manage finance in a big country , Do well , Won the trust of leaders . When there is a vacancy , The leader is going to transfer you to the office director . This position is the leader's confidant , The future is promising . But you used to , Basically, I gave up my financial major for the time being , And every day I work hard for the leaders .

Positions vary , Step by step , But it is difficult to accumulate in one aspect .

In a company that emphasizes positions , You often change your job , May develop faster , The tree moves the dead to live .

And in the second mode that emphasizes career , Change jobs frequently , Instead, it is a taboo .

For example, you do financial work in a market-oriented organization , Originally in a small private enterprise , After accumulating enough , Jump to a listed company , The platform is bigger .

But if you've been working in a small private company for a while , And transferred to the administrative department , So your career is messy 、 There is no continuous accumulation .

Back to the question itself . A lot of times , Middle age unemployment , It's because you don't distinguish between the above two career development models , I've crossed the line .

For example, you are in a market-oriented organization , You should keep accumulating , Including professional ability and contacts （ Business partner ）, If the accumulation rate slows down or even stagnates , Maybe it's time for you to go .

It's time to change jobs , This is the start-up .

Don't be obsessed with staying here , You are already expensive to the enterprise I can't afford it .

You don't go by yourself , I was laid off , It depends on the ruthlessness of the company , You lose your job in middle age .

You are turning the market-oriented organization into a system .

In a market-oriented organization , The first day you came in , Just think about how you want to leave 、 Leave with something .

A friend went to Logical thinking , Speaking of their interview . During the interview , The company said , Will not support you for a lifetime , Maybe the fate of colleagues is only three to five years , Ask her how many years she plans to work , A few years later, when I left , I hope I can grow up .

This is a market-oriented organization that is really responsible for its employees , At least verbally, I want to be responsible for my employees .

If the market-oriented institutions are disorderly in your training , Use you as a coolie without accumulation , You'd better leave early . If you wait 35、40 I haven't accumulated any expertise and contacts yet , You'll be panicking all day . Middle age unemployment , Become a handle Damocles The sword , Hanging over your head . You will grow timid 、 Humble , Because you can't leave the company , But the company can ignore you .

But the same 35、40 year , In a system or a large company , Those who have no accumulated expertise and contacts , Why live leisurely instead ？

Because these people have no career .

The institutions they serve , The emphasis is on the position . They have got “ Organization ”, As long as there is no big mistake , The social environment will not change greatly , They can work steadily in this organization .

Within the system 、 Big companies have isolated them from the market , They have no direct connection with the market .

If we make an analogy , The first kind of work , Like on shore . The second kind of work , Like in the sea .

90 People in the system in the s “ Go to sea ”, That's what it means .

On shore , You don't take the initiative to go , You don't have to move , There is no natural or man-made disaster , You can squat on the ground for a lifetime .

It's different in the sea , You don't move , The current will push you . Only constant tossing , To stay on the water .

On shore , In fact, it is not always safe . Ashore “ unemployment ” Another name is , It's called marginalization .

What is marginalization ？ Good opportunities are given to young people , You're free , But this life , That's it .

Fatalistic , Be a free and unfettered individual . Disobedient , Life is no better than unemployment , The only consolation is that the salary is still available .

therefore , Why “ How to avoid middle-aged unemployment ” This question ？

In market-oriented institutions , At a certain age , Even if you're not unemployed , You should also consider leaving by yourself . The reason why you lost your job , I still haven't accumulated enough expertise or contacts , Or the direction of accumulation has declined .

So three suggestions ：

1. Choose a wise direction when you are young , Continuously accumulate expertise and contacts ;

2. If the industry has gone down , Consider moving your major to another promising industry ;

3. Your greatest wealth is not the salary and bonus you get from these companies , It's a business partner you find in your career . It's not a company , It is Business partner Will accompany you to the end of your career .

Or you go into the system 、 Big companies go to . however , in consideration of 90 The wave of laid-off workers in the S is not impossible to reappear , You'd better pay more attention .
