How to deal with setbacks in employment?

Employment itself is the process of our understanding and adaptation to society. It is normal to encounter difficulties, setbacks and even success in job hunting. It is normal to encounter many psychological conflicts and confusions in employment and have some bad emotions. When encountering employment problems, we should learn to adjust our mentality, so that we can calmly face this important issue of employment and make correct and rational choices. If you encounter employment psychological problems, you can try to adjust from the following aspects.

(A) accept the objective reality and adjust employment expectations

The marketization of employment and self-employment has brought opportunities and benefits to college students, but many college students have insufficient understanding of the cruel side of the "market" and the objective reality of the job market. After having an objective understanding and profound experience of the job market and employment situation, we must understand that this is the reality, and it is useless to complain and get angry. This employment situation will not change for a while. Instead of complaining all day, wasting time and affecting our mood, we should bravely admit and accept the reality we are facing, completely break the beautiful imagination of the past and seek a good solution to the problem in a down-to-earth manner.

In the job market, employers can't find people, and a large number of graduates have nowhere to go. This is because college students' employment expectations are generally high. Therefore, if you want to get a job smoothly, you must first adjust your employment expectations according to your actual situation and employment situation. Adjusting the employment expectation is not to have no choice for the company, but to redefine one's life trajectory on the basis of career planning and career development concept. In other words, it is necessary to establish a long-term concept of career development and give up the past concept that choosing a job is "one time in place" and requires absolute stability. You should know that no matter how good the company is now, it may be laid off in the future. So when you choose a job, you should take a long-term view and learn to plan your whole career. At present, when the opportunity to get the ideal job is not mature, we should adopt the method of "employment first, career selection later, and entrepreneurship later".

In other words, don't expect too much when choosing a job. You can choose a career first, constantly improve your social viability and increase your work experience, and then gradually realize your self-worth through your own efforts and appropriate career mobility. Many college students are reluctant to work in economically backward areas, but with the development of the western region, the western region will become a hot spot of economic development and will also provide more development opportunities for college students. Therefore, working in this field first may be more conducive to their career development and success.

(two) fully understand the professional value, establish a reasonable professional values.

Traditionally, people work to meet the needs of survival, but for people in modern society, the significance of occupation to individuals is far from simple, and occupation can meet people's needs from low to high. For example, recently, someone has made a preliminary study on the structure of professional value, and found such factors as communication, righteousness, benefit, challenge, environment, power, achievement, creation, novelty, ownership, responsibility, self-identity, etc. Therefore, the value of occupation is rich, and we should fully realize the important role of occupation in individual development and social progress.

When choosing a job, we should not only consider the economic income, working conditions, location and other factors of the job, but also consider the influence and role of the profession on my life development, and should pay attention to whether the profession helps to realize my self-worth. Therefore, we should establish professional values that emphasize self-career development, talent development and career success on the basis of investigating social needs. Give priority to those units that have great development space and can give full play to their functions, although the working conditions are not very good now;

We should also pay attention to those workplaces with low economic development level, but great development potential and many entrepreneurial opportunities. In a word, blindly going to some units that look good on the surface, but don't suit you, and your talents can't be effectively brought into play, will not satisfy you. Instead of regretting in the future, it is better to change yourself now, establish reasonable professional values that adapt to the development of China's current market economy and the law of talent demand, and correctly guide yourself to choose a job.

(3) Understand and accept the professional self and actively seize the opportunity.

Many psychological problems in college students' employment are related to their inability to correctly understand and accept their professional self. Therefore, it is an important way to adjust their employment psychology and help them find a suitable career direction. You should know what kind of job you like, what kind of job you need, the criteria for choosing your own job, and what kind of job you can do according to your current ability, so that you can know what kind of job is more suitable for you. Many students will find that their ability and level are not as high as previously thought through their personal job hunting activities, and they are prone to all kinds of disappointment, pessimism and dissatisfaction.

Therefore, we should accept ourselves after understanding our own characteristics, don't complain about our current problems, and there is no need to feel inferior, because our current characteristics are objective reality, and there can be no big changes during graduation. Therefore, we should admit our present situation and learn to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. In addition, we should look at ourselves from a developmental perspective, and we should know that some shortcomings are not terrible. You can get a job first and then continue to develop yourself in the workplace.

The opportunity factor in college students' employment is also very important, so after understanding and accepting their own characteristics, they should learn to seize their own opportunities, so as to ensure the smooth job search in the future. To seize the opportunity, first of all, we should collect more relevant career information, attend more job fairs, and make choices according to the established criteria for choosing a job. It should be noted that opportunities are not suitable for everyone.

Whether a job is good or not is relative. If it suits others, it may not suit you, and you must not blindly follow it. Always remember that only what suits you is the best. Finally, we should pay attention to the timeliness of opportunities, take the initiative when looking for employment opportunities, don't hesitate and don't be afraid of failure. We should have the spirit of daring to try.

(4) calmly face employment setbacks and improve psychological endurance.

Faced with market competition and employment pressure, college students will always encounter many difficulties, setbacks and even grievances in job hunting. For example, some majors are "hot" and some majors are "unpopular"; Another example is that female college students are vulnerable to discrimination when looking for a job. In the face of these problems, it is useless to just complain. More importantly, we should adjust our mentality and improve our psychological endurance to various emergencies. In fact, the process of employment is also a process for college students to re-recognize themselves, know the society and actively adjust themselves to the society. If we can enhance our psychological adjustment and endurance through job hunting, it will be very useful for college students' future professional life.

When you encounter setbacks in job hunting, you should treat them with a calm attitude, objectively analyze the reasons for your failure, and make correct attribution. First of all, under the conditions of market-oriented employment, poor demand situation and fierce employment competition, it is inevitable to fail in job hunting, and we cannot expect to succeed in every job search. We should be fully prepared for possible setbacks in our jobs.

At the same time, we should regard employment as a good opportunity to know the society, understand the professional life and adapt to the society. We should develop ourselves and promote self-maturity through job-hunting activities, so "we don't judge heroes by success or failure". Secondly, your failure in job hunting is not necessarily due to your incompetence. There are many reasons for job hunting failure, which may be because you chose the wrong direction of the job hunting unit, or because your values do not conform to the corporate culture of the unit, or other accidental factors. In short, we must correctly analyze the reasons for our failure, adjust our job-hunting strategies, and learn to comfort ourselves in order to succeed in the next job search.

(5) Adjust the employment mentality and promote the perfection of personality.

When applying for a job, it is normal for yourself or your classmates to have some unhealthy mentality. There is no need to worry too much, for fear that you have psychological barriers. Of course, we should also learn to actively adjust these bad attitudes and seek the help of relevant psychologists when necessary. There are many ways to carry out self-psychological adjustment. First, you can give positive self-psychological hints, encourage yourself, believe in yourself and help yourself tide over the difficulties. Secondly, you can talk to your friends and teachers and seek their comfort and support. Finally, you can also divert your attention, relieve boredom and relax through physical exercise, listening to music and outing.

Through the analysis of all kinds of bad mentality in employment, we can find some personality defects that are usually imperceptible. It should be said that these personality defects are the root cause of this psychological problem of employment. If you don't improve your personality now, these problems will continue to trouble you in your future work and life. Therefore, the earlier the related issues are exposed, the better. At the same time, there is no need to be annoyed by your own personality defects, because few people are absolutely sound. The key is to actively change and develop yourself on the basis of discovering your own problems, to make your personality more mature and to make your future life smoother.
