Freshmen are faced with the problem of career adaptation, just like entering the workplace for the first time. How to improve your professional adaptability? I hope this article can discuss something with you.
In retrospect, after a long period of time, I was not used to many aspects of life and study. For example, accommodation environment, interpersonal environment, learning environment, eating environment, especially college classes and exams. Compared with high school, some students can't sleep well and can't eat. Dormitory students snore when they sleep. Students from the south may not be used to taking a bath together in the north. It is difficult for northern students to understand why Guangdong students take a bath every day. Students in Shanxi can't find delicious vinegar in the north, and university teachers don't review in class and don't know how to cope with the exam. These unaccustomed are all "adaptive responses". When you graduate and enter the workplace, you will also have some adaptive reactions. For example, the office and classroom environment are different, and the interpersonal relationship in the workplace is different from that in the dormitory. You think your efforts will be rewarded, but you find yourself fooled by your boss.
Freshmen entering school and entering the workplace have the same career theme: career adaptability.
Occupational adaptability is a new topic in vocational psychology. American scholar Savikas (1997) defined occupational adaptability as "the degree of preparation of individuals to cope with predictable occupational tasks, occupational roles they participated in and unpredictable occupational problems", while Zhao Xiaoyun of China (20 10) thought that occupational adaptability was "the ability of individuals to cope with changes in occupational roles and keep a balance with them". Occupational adaptability emphasizes the interaction between people and environment in the process of career development, which embodies the ability of individuals to actively adapt to new and changing living environment in the process of career development.
Occupational adaptability mainly includes four aspects:
Career concern refers to being able to pay attention to your future career. When we look back on our past life, we will find our career track, places we have lived, activities we have participated in and friends we have exchanged. . Are you satisfied with your lifestyle? Has your vision changed? What do you want in your future career? What kind of person do you want to be? Or suppose today is the last day of your life, what do you want to do most? What do you regret not doing? When you start thinking about these problems, it shows that you have begun to pay attention to and think about your career, and your professional consciousness has awakened.
B Career control can strengthen your sense of control over your future career. For the future, we always hope to have the right to choose, not to be chosen. To enhance the sense of control over the future, we need the ability and strength to choose and support our professional skills. How to build it?
C professional curiosity, which can show curiosity about future scene exploration and possible self. Curiosity leads you to get closer to yourself, to the world and to discover all kinds of possibilities. Just like creating an icicle in the blue world, Ben became the CEO of an enterprise, accidentally came into contact with the whole brain memory and discovered his new talent-mathematical reasoning ability, thus participating in the Super Brain Challenge "The Beauty of Fractal", and all three guests got the highest pre-judgment score of 5 points.
D professional self-confidence, can constantly improve their confidence in achieving their professional goals. This confidence comes from action, not the result of setting goals. Stick to the confidence of practice, and after being frustrated, you can find the right way to continue to forge ahead from the failed information. Rainbow Yuheng, who is just a super brain, said "I really want to win, but I'm not afraid of losing" after he failed in challenging the robot. Behind this confidence is Wang Yuheng's tens of millions of observations and trainings in his past career. He knows that he can improve his chances of winning by continuing training.
They are also students' roles, but the roles of college students are quite different from those of high school students and junior high school students, including thinking mode, learning style, academic content, learning place and so on. When these external environments change, college students need to adjust their cognition, emotions and behaviors in time and make adaptive responses. Adaptability is also a part of personality. The better the adaptability, the greater the freedom. For example, if you work in Yangzhou or send to Guangzhou or Europe in the future, you can adapt quickly. This is a good freedom. College students have fallen from their parents' wings and need to adapt; From the university to the social workplace in the future, we also need to adapt; I will get married and play the role of parents in the future. Constantly adapting to the changes in the external environment is the normal state of life, so the cultivation of vocational adaptability is beneficial for life.
To some extent, for college students entering the workplace, career adaptation is more important than emphasizing their own interests, even more important than career planning. Because, only when you get used to it can you survive and give full play to your abilities and specialties.
