Model essay on career planning for sociology majors

As a contemporary college student, how can we meet the needs of society and make a place for ourselves when we step into this crowded society with a blank face? Every time mankind undergoes a major change, there are always new opportunities, and some opportunities are disappearing. Only those who marry before the prophet can seize the opportunity to succeed, while those who stick to old ideas will be eliminated by society. In the vast sea of people, how to get ahead first depends on whether you are fully prepared, so make a suitable plan for your personal career planning. With goals, there will be motivation!

Second, self-analysis.

People have been constantly knowing themselves according to others and what they have done all their lives. Sometimes they hate themselves because they have done something wrong, and sometimes they are full of reason and courage to change themselves. I think my overall personality has two sides: in my usual life, I like to be quiet, not very talkative, and always like to do what I should do; When I need to communicate with people, I will be outgoing and cheerful, and I always like to laugh. I once made a career evaluation, which said that my personality is manager type, characterized by a sense of responsibility, high work efficiency, results-oriented, cheerful personality, good at socializing, practice-oriented, clear in logic, and able to objectively and fairly analyze and judge various problems and make decisions. With the migration of environment and different requirements, a person's personality is always changing. In terms of teamwork, I have changed a lot since I went to college: I didn't like to cooperate with others before, and I always thought I could do everything well by myself, but I also lacked opportunities for teamwork in real life; But after taking a course called "quality development training" in college, I found that teamwork can make me do something I can't do, and it can give me surprise and strength. Of course, this requires mutual trust, care and efforts.

I have no special interest, as long as it is worth doing and suitable for me, I should finish it and do it well. What I am not suitable for is something with strong hands-on ability, such as driving. Although I have studied for a while, I still lack the feeling of integration of people and cars. I'm too suitable for things that are too risky. I once doubted that I would do anything bold because of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers" and emotional catharsis; My language ability is not very good, and my grasp of pronunciation is not strong. From the outside, I am a girl who can't stand the wind and rain; But on the contrary, I am an independent and adaptable person. I think my observation ability, analysis ability and perception ability are very strong. In addition, I need to strengthen my interpersonal skills (not only for classmates and friends, but also for teachers, superiors and elders), adaptability, learning ability, information search ability and self-management ability, because these abilities are very important in real life, study and work, and I can gain them through my own efforts and experience accumulation.

I think as long as a person stands at a certain height, she can do bigger and more effective things for more people; Only when each of us can bring material and spiritual wealth to our parents can she have the strength to give social returns. And I hope to earn enough money to meet the above-average living needs. I don't want my future job to be too easy or simple. I look forward to every challenge. I don't like the working environment with immature system, and I don't want to work in a cultural atmosphere with serious corruption and corrupt ideas. In addition, from the course of college students' career planning, I learned that only when I am in the core position of the enterprise and can bring benefits to the enterprise can I be needed and valued. For example, secretaries are generally not as good as managers; Market planners and investment consultants are often taller than managers.

Third, professional employment direction and prospect analysis

My major is sociology, which belongs to the category of law. I attach importance to integrating theory with practice, and often collect and analyze some social phenomena and problems to achieve the purpose of understanding and solving them.

Sociology is a discipline of liberal arts, and its professional development has no specific employment direction except specific investigation and research, but previous graduates usually consider some industries and posts related to the research and analysis of social phenomena and problems.

A, government departments in the government, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Labor, the Family Planning Commission, the Youth League Committee, and the Policy Research Office are all in line with the sociology major. The competition generated by the civil service examination mechanism is very fierce; At the same time, the work level of undergraduate graduates is low, and the personnel circulation mechanism of government departments is not perfect, so it is not easy to enter government departments and win promotion opportunities.

B, community community work generally refers to people who work in street offices and neighborhood committees. Their current salary level, reputation, power and development opportunities are not as good as those of government departments, but it is reported that people working in sub-district offices or neighborhood committees will be included in the civil service level. Although the threshold of community work is low, the actual treatment will still be different from that of formal civil servants. In addition, there are now specialized community workers, who are engaged in community management and service work in community party organizations, community neighborhood committees and community service stations and sign service agreements with streets (towns). Their qualifications need to pass special and graded examinations. The average annual salary of community workers is 34 thousand yuan, and flexible working hours can be implemented, but the working hours per week are not less than 40 hours.

C.NGO or social enterprises At present, there are more and more NGOs at home and abroad in China, such as children's villages and environmental protection organizations in China; United Nations, some Geneva offices in China, Ford Foundation, Greenpeace, Oxfam, British Children's Fund, American Education Foundation and other offices in China. Social workers are professional and technical personnel engaged in specialized social services in social service institutions such as social welfare, social assistance, social charity, labor security, rehabilitation of the disabled, special care and placement, medical and health care, youth services, judicial correction, etc. Their main duty is to professionally "diagnose and treat" various social problems and members in various difficulties, which can effectively make up for the lack of government services. Because its subordinate organization is neither a government nor an enterprise, its salary is low. Social enterprises are not pure enterprises, nor are they general social services. They operate through commercial means, earn profits and make contributions to society. Their surplus is used to help vulnerable groups, promote the development of communities and the investment of social enterprises themselves; They pay more attention to social values than to the pursuit of corporate profits; It is not for profit, but also for profit. The number of social enterprises in China is small and the scale is small. Most of them are founded by individuals, but the profits are relatively low, and most of them will be used for donations again.

D, marketing, enterprise management, public relations and other departments in large enterprises will be interested in sociology students with strong observation ability and active thinking when recruiting employees. Marketing department is a department that carries out a series of market-related business activities such as product production, circulation and after-sales service under the guidance of customer demand. Among them, graduates majoring in sociology can be competent for market development and investigation. The public relations department is a department that carries out two-way communication and exchange with the public in administrative management and business management activities. Graduates majoring in sociology can do some work to master public information. The work of these two departments needs strong social investigation and research ability and more practical experience, and individual teamwork ability is also more important. Enterprise management includes planning management, production management, material management, quality management, cost management, financial management and labor and personnel management. Although students majoring in sociology don't have many professional advantages in these jobs, as long as their comprehensive quality is high, they will have the opportunity to get corresponding positions. Because the enterprises that recruit sociology majors are generally large enterprises, the wages are relatively high, the welfare benefits are relatively guaranteed, and there are more promotion opportunities.

E the media include editors, journalists and social commentators of newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations and websites. On the one hand, in recent years, domestic magazines and newspapers have begun to pay attention to and become popular in doing public surveys, which requires professionals who can design questionnaires. On the other hand, graduates majoring in sociology have a broader and more novel perspective and can put forward practical and unique comments and analysis. Media work should have certain writing skills or the ability to speak eloquently.

F. research institutions specialized research institutions are divided into two categories. One is social research institutes at all levels with government nature and research companies specializing in market analysis. The Academy of Social Sciences belongs to other research institutes, and the talents needed generally have doctoral titles, which requires higher professional knowledge and academic achievements. However, social research institutes at other levels are generally ineffective, which indirectly determines their salary level and work content. At present, the famous investigation and consulting companies at home and abroad are: AC Nielsen, Ipsos, TNS, CCTV Zero, South China International, CCID Data, etc. The rest of the companies are smaller. With the development of China's economy, the strengthening of market competition and the improvement of enterprise system, the business volume of survey and consulting companies will continue to grow, and the foothold space will continue to increase.

Fourth, career analysis.

(1) My career choice

The professional evaluation I have done shows the advantages and disadvantages of my work. The advantages of work are: all-round, efficient, pragmatic and trustworthy; Self-responsible, able to supervise others well; Be able to allocate and dispose of resources reasonably, formulate and abide by rules, and prioritize clearly and orderly; Suitable for working in enterprises with sound system, distinct grades and stability; Good at manipulating the situation to successfully complete the task; Good at contact with people, good at communication, but not winning with attitude; Objective, with strong analytical and reasoning skills. Disadvantages of work are: easy to make decisions in a hurry; It's easy to break into a furious rage on some trivial matters; Dealing with emergencies is often lacking; Easy to be stubborn and bossy, making people around you feel pressure; Don't like to listen to the opinions of subordinates; Don't know much about self-relaxation; Lack of tolerance for people you don't like. The type of work I am suitable for requires enthusiasm and openness, attention to reality, attention to analytical ability, and rigorous work style, but there is no obvious suitable field characteristics.

In another professional interest assessment, I am mainly inclined to management (characteristics: ① energetic, confident, sociable and leadership; 2 like competition and dare to take risks; 3 love power, status and material wealth); Be able to participate in those organizations and influence others to achieve organizational goals.

Through the comparison and integration of the two, and considering my personality and values, I chose to drink from some occupations that suit me, and determined my career goal: professional manager. The so-called professional manager refers to a professional enterprise management expert who is responsible for maintaining and increasing the value of enterprise property in an enterprise where ownership, enterprise property rights and management rights are separated, is fully responsible for enterprise management and has the right to manage enterprise property. In the professional manager market (including social professional manager market and internal professional manager market), he is employed by an enterprise, and his remuneration is mainly salary and stock options. From a horizontal perspective, it can be divided into accounting, production management, technology and so on. It can also be divided into different levels vertically.

(3) The job content and competence of my career goal options.

Drucker believes that managers have two special tasks. The first is the value-added effect, that is, he must create a real whole greater than the sum of its components, a dynamic whole, so that the invested resources can be transformed into more things than the sum of all resources. The second special task of a manager is that he lives in two times: in any decision-making and action, he must coordinate the current and long-term requirements and balance. Drucker also believes that managers often have five basic tasks in their work: a, setting goals. The balance between the achievement of an enterprise and the realization of the principles it believes in, between the present and the future of the enterprise, and between the goals and the existing conditions requires analysis and comprehensive ability; B. organization. Analyze the required activities, decisions and relationships. Classify work and break it down into manageable activities; Then break the activity down into manageable tasks. Merging these units and businesses into an organizational structure, selecting personnel to manage these units and carry out these businesses requires analytical ability and integrity; C. encouragement and information exchange. Form a team to undertake various tasks. Honesty and comprehensive ability are needed through daily work practice, employee relations, salary, "personnel decision" on placement and promotion, and information exchange between superiors and subordinates and colleagues. At this time, honesty is much more important than analytical ability; Establish measurement standards. The measurement standard not only pays attention to organizational performance, but also pays attention to the individual's work and helps him do his job well. Analyze, evaluate and explain the achievements, and inform his superiors, subordinates and colleagues of the significance and results of these measurements. E, training people, including training yourself. It also requires analytical skills and integrity.

And the conditions for becoming a professional manager: a, she must be an excellent integrator and planner; B, she must be a good propagandist and organizer; C, she must have good professional ethics; D, she must have strong personal charm and broad mind; She must know how to put herself in the right position in the enterprise.

(4) the gap between me and my career goals

The boss of an enterprise will not give his wealth to a person who has no ability, no work experience and cannot be trusted by him. At present, I don't have the charm that a professional manager should have. That is, I have no management experience, no basic knowledge about management, no professional qualification certificate, no highly educated and brilliant school background, and no available interpersonal network.

Five, the specific action plan of my actual career goals
