The whole ideological framework of this book is not strongly related to each chapter, and different people will encounter different career problems in their respective workplaces. Each chapter has different ways of thinking for different professionals.
The overall composition of this book is shown in the following figure:
Because there is no fundamental connection between the chapters, the following is a summary of the contents and methods of each chapter:
It is divided into six sections, from the first job to the three stages of career development, to career orientation, to workplace decision-making, and finally to two methods of career design: finding career dots and radii, and minimalist work method.
According to my understanding, these six plates are progressive layer by layer. According to readers' age or years in the workplace, the problems they will encounter in various stages of life are analyzed step by step and different solutions are given.
Divided into seven sections, each section is not directly related, which probably solves various problems in the workplace, such as women's life-long work and family choices, being over 30, not knowing what they want, being confused is an important stage of life, the career vortex of job-hopping and so on.
Divided into six sections, there are several key words: choice, effort, interest, planning, talent and advantage.
This chapter consists of five sections, which respectively describe five communication methods: GDR communication method, golden thinking chart, preparation rules, story thinking and learning to refuse.
It is divided into five sections, of which the first two sections are the transformation of popular ideas, the third section is the introduction of methods to deal with public opinion, and the last two sections are also the correction of popular ideas.
It is divided into five parts. 1 section analyzes the situation macroscopically first, and then analyzes the specific methods and strategies in the next four sections.
The title of this chapter is the title of this book. This chapter has seven sections, which are not directly related, but can solve different people's workplace problems. The title of each section is the attitude that should be held for different problems, such as making important things interesting, squeezing yourself out effectively, challenging the comfort zone and so on.
The title of this chapter is the subtitle of this book. This chapter is divided into seven sections, and each section is also a revision of the specific ideas and attitudes given to people in different situations. Let me feel the charm of looking at the essence without looking at the face. For example, people who make money for the sake of making money often can't make money.
When I finished reading the last page of the book and closed the pages, I felt for the first time that the resentment brought by my work in the past six months occupied 80% or even more than 90% of my time except sleeping. However, I just stayed on self-pity, but I didn't feel sorry for myself. In fact, when I encounter a problem, I should not just analyze the problem, study the root causes and explore solutions, that is, trace the source and ask questions. Looking back at myself, I just walked into a dead end and let myself get deeper and deeper.
So what are the workplace problems that deserve our understanding and learning? According to my cognitive perspective, I have refined what I think is worth learning:
1 Anyone who gives you advice has his own angle and motivation, but it can never replace your own choice.
Even the parents who feed and clothe themselves are irreplaceable. Except ourselves, everyone else is an outsider. After all, most of us are people with full capacity for civil conduct.
Not all choices can be called "choices".
There is such a four-quadrant diagram to choose from:
The choice you think you have may be because your own ability has reached the ability to choose. In other words, only when your ability, vision, knowledge and so on have reached a certain height, the degree of problem solving will naturally change from low to high. At this time, the step you take is called "choice".
Like myself, I always look back. What if I chose not to go home a year ago? Will it be better than now? Isn't this a "tough game"?
Introduction to any field is almost the same for beginners.
Whether it is interest or career, beginners will experience a very unpleasant or even painful time. If they can't persist at this time, no matter how strong their interest is, it will disappear. You can deepen your investment in "interest" through external positive affirmation.
Interest cannot be the first decision-making factor in career choice.
Maybe interest is just a wolf in wool-"false interest"? Don't think that you can achieve ten points with only three points of interest. It is more important to make use of one's own advantages at work, and the ultimate destination of interest that can continue to develop is advantages. After all, like is an emotion, and love is an ability!
Don't let your income determine your life.
When we are limited by immediate interests, it is like being blinded by fog, but we can't see the farther starry sky. Take my present job as an example. Once, my salary was not as good as others' money. At the same time, my mood has also been affected. Colleagues doing the same job are full of bitterness. My temper and patience are undoubtedly a shortcoming in my work. On the other hand, think about it. Can I tame my temper through this job? Although a job should foster strengths and avoid weaknesses and find another way when I don't want to work, isn't it a kind of growth to develop my shortcomings in a good direction when I don't have my own core competitiveness?
Doing what you like and making a living from it is the most worthwhile life.
The classic lines in Xiao Shenyang's sketches tell us the reality: in fact, life and sleep are the same. A day has passed and my life has passed. Isn't it? As a small individual, life seems very long to us. According to the life span of 80 years, 80 years, 29,200 days, 700,800 hours, 42,048,000 minutes and 252,288,000 seconds seem endless. In fact, they are all limited. We always thought "there is still time" and "waiting" Now we're not. This may be pessimistic, but on the contrary, we will cherish our present life more. What's more, decades between universes are nothing. Maybe it's just a moment! So why don't you think about tea and food for your immediate troubles and sadness? It is better to choose the life you want, so long and worthwhile, as long as you like it!
It is becoming more and more meaningless for a person to work in a company all his life.
Some sensational social events, such as unmanned supermarkets, drones, "no charge" and layoffs of famous enterprises, have sounded the alarm: the development of the times is beyond our imagination, and the development of science and technology is far faster than the development of personal ability. If we still stand by and watch the weather eat, then the next person to quit may be ourselves! The strategy to deal with this problem is to start planning even if full-time work is in a period of vigorous development, rather than waiting for accidents, so as to plan ahead and improve personal resilience!
More than 880% of occupational anxiety is due to people's problems.
As a person in the workplace, if you want to get a sense of accomplishment from your work and become an irreplaceable person, you have to go from being stupid to working, from being able to work to surpassing work, and finally to creating work. With the promotion again and again, anxiety will be reduced, followed by a sense of accomplishment, and eventually become an irreplaceable shining star in the enterprise.
Doing ten things a year is very different from doing one thing for ten years.
Hard work is the normal state of life, and only depth has excess value. If you do something to the extreme, time will naturally reward you. For example, Jiro Ono, known as the "God of Sushi", has been making sushi to the extreme all his life.
10 The difference between experts and ordinary people lies in the underlying cognition and logic.
No matter how gorgeous the expression is, all the earning power will eventually return to the original point, that is, the common underlying knowledge, such as the most basic business thinking and logic, and analyze the knowledge framework of sociology and psychology used by customers. They are the most powerful money-making tools.
1 1 strength is a person's strongest core competitiveness.
The so-called contacts or positions are all added value above strength. Similarly, as a screw, can you be an indispensable screw with the right size and model in this machine? The real "ability" is that no matter in which company or position, you can make a difference with your own experience or knowledge!
12' s life is similar, but it's actually much worse.
There is such an effort return curve:
It only takes a little effort to score 0→60 in the novice area, and the transformation from 60→90 depends not only on efforts, but also on mastering the correct methods. More than 90 points includes luck. Don't be arrogant when you grow fast in the early stage, and don't be depressed when you grow slowly in the later stage, because a person's ability growth is regular. So, when you feel that the road is long and Xiu Yuan is slow, maybe you are just going uphill?
13 A person's workplace value is the result of the interaction of market demand and ability uniqueness.
The uniqueness of ability is manifested in vertical (the professionalism and depth of a certain ability) or horizontal (the ability that other peers do not have is also the breadth of ability). The following figure shows four common career fields. Should introspect "Which area am I currently in?"
1, make a list, sort out your past experience, and see what you have done well. You may have something you are good at.
2. Match related jobs and see what you don't hate at least. What meets the academic standards may be your career direction.
3. Constantly improve yourself. When your ability is improved, you will feel very different when you do things, and you will get a sense of accomplishment other than money.
The study found that everyone has more or less six factors, but the level of each factor is different. These six factors and related matters are as follows:
1, theoretical orientation. Focus on truth and knowledge. Such people are good at learning and take the pursuit of truth and knowledge as their responsibility. Scientists and R&D personnel are mostly like this.
2. Practical orientation. Pay attention to the return on investment, such people pay attention to efficiency, refuse any waste of time and resources, and are eager to gain income and surpass others. Bankers and engineers often pay attention to this motivation.
3. Aesthetic orientation. Emphasizing beauty and harmony, these people pay attention to personal feelings and life experiences and like to appreciate harmony and beauty. Typical people include designers, artists and yoga instructors.
4. Social orientation. Point to serving and helping others. These people are willing to help others without asking for anything in return. Many volunteers, nurses, counselors, etc. Have this trait.
5. Personal orientation. Pursuing rights and recognition, they are eager to have rights, lead others and improve their status. Politicians, athletes and directors all have such characteristics.
6. Traditional orientation. These people pay attention to principles and beliefs, pursue the value and significance of life and attach importance to social structure and order. Many revolutionaries, cultural communicators, soldiers, etc. have strong traditional orientation motives.
The first two of the above six factors are the main motivation for you to take action. When a person's work matches his two motivating factors, his potential can be fully exerted and a virtuous circle of his career can be formed.
A sense of accomplishment: Can you do one thing well? Can you do better than others?
Sense of belonging: How do you get along with colleagues and leaders? How about team cohesion?
Sense of autonomy: can you have a certain sense of autonomy within the scope of work? For example, can you choose to play your own advantages?
Talent is usually hidden and cannot exist in isolation. It can be excavated from the behavioral tendencies you show in the process of doing things. Behavior tendency usually includes three aspects: thinking mode, interpersonal style and stress coping.
Thinking mode: unconstrained style or logic is king?
Interpersonal style: like dealing with people or handling tasks.
Face pressure: Play better or worse under great pressure.
The ideal job needs to meet three conditions at the same time: what you like, what you are good at and what you will make money.
1, like but not good at it, doomed to not last long.
If you are good at it but don't like it, you can cultivate it slowly.
I am neither good at it nor like it. I suggest changing careers as soon as possible.
1. What interviews and surveys have you done around this interest?
2. What attempts have you made for this interest? Do you have any internship or part-time experience in this field in your spare time? What kind of experience is it? Do you think you are interested in continuing to do it?
3. If you work hard in your field of interest, how many years do you plan to give yourself to try? What do you think is the worst result? Can you bear such a result?
Step 1: clarify with the leader what the goal of this task is.
Step 2: Confirm the deadline with the leader.
Step 3: After determining the time, discuss the specific requirements with the leaders.
1, find your life goals as soon as possible.
2. Renew experience through continuous learning and reduce unnecessary losses.
3. Make good use of "small investment and big return" and "compound interest investment"
1. Classify your work and calculate how long it takes for each job.
2. Sort out what you think is the most complicated work and classify it with a standard.
When encountering a difficult problem, put it aside first, and then concentrate on the work at hand.
4. Communicate and answer at a fixed time every day.
5, take the initiative to take responsibility, and actively assist all departments * * * to do this work.
1. Remember, interest is not as important as you think.
2. If you have hobbies, try to reach the professional level.
3. Write down your "flash moment"
1, the basic skills, patterns or routines of this field or industry.
2, a lot of repetitive exercises
3. Even if feedback is collected, we should constantly reflect and improve.
1. What are the current problems of the company? Compared with excellent enterprises in the same industry, where is the gap?
2. What efforts can you make in your post to improve work efficiency? Have you found any problems and thought about solutions?
3. Jump out of the emotional trap, analyze what causes the current realistic predicament, and what attempts and changes can be made?
1. List the memory moments in college, such as the moments of excitement and sadness, write down the specific events that triggered these emotions, and extract your interests or abilities from them;
2. Collect all the positions you are interested in and make a table listing the requirements of these positions. Match your own hardware conditions and work experience with the post to see which ones are more matched, which is your alternative;
3. Collect the real salary level, labor intensity and work characteristics of these positions, and interview relevant employees when necessary;
4. Think about whether you have an urgent need, which positions can solve this urgent need, and what kind of ability do you plan to improve in the next few years?
5. Write down the current cognition. After three or five years, look back and see if there are any new discoveries.
Knowledge: what you know and understand is evaluated by breadth and depth;
Skills: skills that can be operated and completed, with proficiency as the evaluation standard;
Talent: personal qualities and characteristics, there is no evaluation standard.
1, self-driven person
2. People who like to share and output.
3. People who are good at finding problems and thinking hard.
1) matching motivation-six factors
In the theoretical orientation, practical orientation, aesthetic orientation, social orientation, personal orientation and traditional orientation, I gradually matched myself, and finally confirmed that individuals tend to practice orientation and traditional orientation, but what I am doing now is just the opposite of practical orientation and social orientation, which goes against my inner will, so it is not difficult to understand that since I worked, I have felt more mistakes, and my contribution is not proportional to my return. What is more in line with my values may be one of my next goals-teachers, not only in reality, but also in virtual interests.
2) Three criteria for a good job
The three criteria of a good career are: a sense of accomplishment, a sense of belonging and a sense of autonomy. My current job gives me the feeling that none of them are up to standard: mechanical operation, good work without praise, bad work will be punished; Colleagues and colleagues are full of feelings of being used and being used; The work content is rigid and there is no room for innovation. Just draw a gourd ladle. After a long time, if you don't think independently and make progress, you may go with the flow! Although I am in the hospital, it seems convenient to see a doctor, but we dare not even get sick, because there is not enough manpower, it is even more difficult to approve the leave of absence of the leader, unless it is serious enough to be hospitalized and deeply enslaved.
3) Learn to "transfer skills"
The environment we are in now is no longer the environment of our parents. In such an environment, don't expect to find a "most suitable" job from the beginning and try to jump to the top. The current career orientation should be like this: find the field that you are most likely to enter, accumulate ability in practice, and jump to a "more suitable" new job at the right time. Through continuous cultivation, migration and combination, we have a unique competitiveness until we find our most suitable field.
Reflecting on what you are doing now can cultivate your temper and patience. Just entering the society, the edges and corners are too sharp, hurting people and hurting themselves. Polishing your spirit in this transitional period is a character that you need to master no matter what you do.
4) Success Diary
Everyone's life is their own. The more you go up, the fewer people will feel lonely, the less understood, and it is normal to feel different, because you are more special than them, and few people walk on the road, so you may find different scenery!
When you are unknown, no one cares about your ambition and ideal, because it is worthless. But we should pay attention to ourselves, such as recording the happiest moment of the day, a small progress in life, especially when you do something that makes you feel great. Be sure to record it and freeze this moment. Many a mickle makes a mickle, which will be the source of strength in your exploration journey! This is also a trick that I remember most when I watched Qian Qian the Dog. Good habits and skills are interlinked.
5) Success = core algorithm × a large number of repetitive actions?
The truth of occupational crisis is that a person always stays in the stage of occupational adaptation, and has never successfully crossed the adaptation period and reached a higher level. If a person can master a certain field, then any crisis is just another way to play for the master. Yes! Instead of excessively pursuing the exterior of change, it is better to study the unchangeable laws and values, so as to respond to changes with constancy. This is the core algorithm in this formula.
No real master will suddenly become very powerful. Many repetitive actions in the formula are deliberate exercises. Without a lot of repetitive training, it is difficult to become a master. Even if a person has potential, he will eventually be buried if he doesn't tap it. Middle school is still a typical negative textbook.
Most companies are from the perspective of managers. The starting point is to make you a "screw" in this position, so that you can't leave the company. But for us personally, if we want to make a breakthrough, we must be responsible for ourselves and assign ourselves "special tasks".
Think about what is the core competitiveness of what I am doing now. What is more important should be the service attitude.
So what is my target job core competitiveness?
Through the recruitment network recruitment, teacher recruitment requirements are as follows:
Through combing the above recruitment agencies, the following job requirements and responsibilities are obtained:
Tidy up-
* What can't be changed:
Education and major, appearance, personality
* What can be changed:
Qualification certificate, knowledge level, ability level, experience, appearance and conversation, writing on the blackboard
Find more places that can be changed through the efforts of the day after tomorrow. A teacher is a technical post, and it is more important to cultivate his own hard conditions and abilities!
Six-step cognitive upgrade, thinking about your own experience and existing ability, can you control the target work? Is there anything else I can improve?
Reflection: without relevant work experience and knowledge reserve, I can't control it for the time being, so the next step is to enrich my knowledge through exams; The second step is to improve my ability in all aspects through practice at work; ……
If I were asked to grade this book out of 10, I would type 10. Yes, after reading this book, I always feel a little relaxed. Some aspects have not been implemented, and the effect has not been highlighted, but my mood has gradually changed after reading it. I believe that if I follow the method in the book step by step, I will also see my blue sky!
If some friends are as dissatisfied with my present job as I am, but don't know what to do next, then I will strongly recommend reading this book "From Minimalism to Extreme-A Great Man in a Good Field" ~
