How to do career planning when you first enter the workplace?

I have been in the workplace for more than ten years. Now I will talk about how Xiaobai, who has just entered the workplace, should make career planning as an experienced person.

Everyone knows that career planning is generally staged, with three years as the most competitive employee and five years as the department manager. It's easy to imagine out of thin air, but if you want to make your career plan conform to the actual situation, you need to do your homework. There are three things you should understand:

First, do you have a clear understanding of your industry?

As the saying goes, lang is afraid of entering the wrong line. Choosing a dynamic industry like Chaoyang can make you take fewer detours. Struggling in the sunrise industry is like an athlete facing a straight runway. You just have to run hard to reach the finish line. On the other hand, if the industry itself is depressed, the efforts may be in vain, so it is better to change careers as soon as possible.

I remember a few years ago, many newly graduated college students didn't know what investment guarantee was for, so they devoted themselves to investment guarantee under the temptation of high salary. Later, many of these companies' capital chains were broken, and those engaged in business became scapegoats. This shows how important it is to recognize an industry.

Secondly, is your company competitive?

In other words, what is your company's position in the industry? For example, my first-aid medical equipment industry is the first enterprise in the world to manufacture cardiopulmonary resuscitation models, with sales companies in more than 20 countries and a leading position in the field of first aid.

With this understanding, you can know whether this enterprise is competitive in the industry. If the industry is good, but the enterprise is not competitive, it is likely to be defeated or even closed down in the commercial war. As a shrimp in the ocean current, Xiao Bai in the workplace can't turn the tide and can only be washed away. If you are in such an enterprise, it is recommended to consider developing with competitive enterprises in the same industry.

Finally, is your position promising?

Is there any room for improvement in your position? For example, if you do a good job in sales, you can be promoted to sales manager, and then you can be sales director, and so on. Like this, if the enterprise has a series of career planning systems for employee development, and your position has a healthy promotion channel, then congratulations, as long as you work hard, you can realize the career planning at each stage step by step.

Based on the above points, you have a clear understanding of the industry, enterprises and positions, and then it is simple. You just need to make your own development plan in this industry and this enterprise. My experience is to set a long-term goal first, and then assign it to each stage. For example, I want to be a project director for ten years, and then implement my goals in stages, such as five years as a project manager and three years as a competitive project specialist.

In addition, in the process of continuous learning and practice, regularly evaluate whether your short-term goals are reasonable and how far you are from the post standard of the next goal.

As a white man in the workplace, career planning should respect the objective reality and do a good job of investigation and research. Based on facts, do what you can, so as to make a more scientific and reasonable career plan and guide your future career development correctly.
