Creating two professional images in seven years

Wu fan, 36 year old project director

"Professional image is very important to the workplace." Wu fan talked about the two career shaping process in his career.

"Many college graduates think that wearing a suit and carrying briefcase will have a professional image.

This idea is too "amateur".

Wu fan believes that a person must have a stage to shape a professional image suitable for his workplace.

Wu fan's first professional image "Metamorphosis" took four years.

He majored in computer science. After graduating from University, he entered a public institution.

"At that time, I thought that our" behind the scenes personnel "who had eaten by technology had no need to dress up, nor had to stick to human interaction, so they stayed in the school for a long time and remained careless in school.

On one occasion, in order to meet his superiors' inspection, Wu fan added an overnight class to make a program. Early in the morning, when the leader woke him up from the computer, he saw him wearing slippers and sports pants and scolded him on the spot.

"At that time, in my department, no matter the way of conversation or the style of life, I felt it was very frustrating to have a generation gap with other people."

Helpless Wu fan had to choose to speak less and observe more. In his three years of work, he and his leader made a difference. "The leadership's conversation and act made me understand a lot. When I came back from a business trip, my colleagues and friends rated me as mature and steady."

Wu Fan said happily.

After 7 years of working in a public institution, he resigned and went to a large private enterprise to start a new career mileage.

However, in the new working environment, he once again found that the professional image he had worked hard to create was not "in tune". "There are two styles in the enterprise and institution."

In the first month, Wu fan was frustrated because of his previous officialdom style.

Once, when his boss asked him about his attitude toward a new plan, he answered in his conservative voice before: "I think it's relatively good. We can consider whether we have the opportunity to implement it in the future."

The boss immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "if it is good, go ahead and implement it immediately. No need to think about it. There is no need to wait until later." Wu fan immediately understood that many of the ways and styles he had developed before he needed to be remolded in all directions.

However, Wu fan, a senior career man, completed a new career image in a very short time.

Today, his personality is distinct, he speaks freely and is able to be fully integrated into the working atmosphere of an enterprise.

Concealing the history of divorce

Safeguarding the image of "matchmaker"

During the interview, most white-collar workers expressed their understanding of Qiu Yun's experience and thought that she was deeply affected by the stereotyped stereotype of the public.

"Qiu Yun's most important reason for hiding her divorce history is that the popular prejudice she knows is that in the special profession of matrimonial service, it is considered that" being a matchmaker "is the first thing to do well with her personal problems.

The traditional Chinese society has many stereotypes about divorced women. It is not only a kind of failure in life, but also a kind of ability or moral defect, which makes the image of this private life a certain influence on the professional image of a divorced woman.

Shi Yuan explains: "stereotyped stereotype" is an important concept in communication science. It refers to the fixed and simplified concepts and impressions that people hold on specific things. It is usually accompanied by the value evaluation of things and feelings of likes and dislikes.

Individuals have stereotyped stereotypes. A society also has stereotypes and widely accepted stereotypes of its members, so it also plays a part of social control.

"In the workplace, many divorced women have invented their marriage background to maintain their professional image in the minds of outsiders, so as to reduce unnecessary resistance in their careers.

In this sense, Qiu Yun's concealment of his divorce history is understandable.

In the eyes of Huang Xia, project manager of Zhaopin recruitment office, Qiu Yun did not need to hide his divorce history because of this preconceived concept. This is actually a misunderstanding of the real professional image.

She believes that "the matchmaker" is only the line of marriage between the two sides, not the parties. As long as she is professional enough and has the basic qualities of being a matchmaker, it is possible to make the social role of the "matchmaker" very successful. Qiu Yun's successful performance is enough to show that she has a good professional ability, and professional ability is an important part of the professional image, rather than a private life.

facts on file

What is a professional image?

Professional image refers to the impression that you set before the public in the workplace.

It reflects your professional attitude, skills and skills through your clothes and your manners.

It includes four aspects: external image, moral cultivation, professional ability and knowledge structure.

Attractive image and high salary 14%

Recruitment and quality image

The famous image design company, CMB, conducted a survey of 300 financial company decision makers. The results show that successful image building is the key to achieving high positions.

Another survey shows that image directly affects income level, and those who are more attractive are usually 14% higher than their average colleagues.

When looking for and recruiting employees, Huang Hsia has a high degree of concern about the professional image of the candidates. They believe that employees who are not qualified and have poor professional qualities can not be highly recognized in front of their colleagues and customers.

Of course, the performance and requirements of professional image are not the same for both the workplace newcomers and the senior professionals.

"External image is only part of the professional image. A person has been working in an industry for more than 30 years. His performance and reputation have been very good, and there is no need to deliberately package external images.

But for those who just entered the society, proper clothing and conversation packaging are very important. Having a unique resume is especially important.

Huang Xia explained.

Professional image reflects professionalism.

"After working for three years, I have a deep understanding that a good professional image is not only how beautiful and handsome you are, but also the most important thing is to do your own hairdressing, temperament, manners, and career, occasion, status and character."

Yan Ling, who works in public relations, has found that professional image needs to be closely integrated with specific occupations, and the most important thing is to reflect your professionalism in the professional field.

Yan Ling, who just joined the work, bought a large number of dark colored professional clothes because of his eagerly eager to create a mature and capable image, but was criticized by his boss for many times.

Later, she realized that public relations people should give people the feeling of kindness, enthusiasm, generosity and trustworthy. Dark clothes are obviously out of season.

Professional image can also have a great impact on personal performance. Therefore, for performance professionals, such as insurance, marketing, public relations and other professions, if their professional image can not reflect professionalism and can not give customers a sense of trust, all skills are useless.

"It is better to know the cultural atmosphere of the industry and the enterprise in advance, grasp the unique office color, and show the temperament that is consistent with the enterprise and occupation in conversation and behavior. In daily work, we must pay attention to show its maturity and be decisive and reliable."

Li Feng, a career consultant, cautioned.

The creation and maintenance of professional image can not be completed in a short time. It requires the accumulation of professional people.

If you like to smile and communicate, even if you make a phone call, the other side can hear your smile. If you are reliable on weekdays, even if you are low-key, your subordinates are also confident in you. So a good professional image is not a "look" appearance that you can see, but a comprehensive expression of a person's acting style.

Workplace newcomers

Five major professional images "killer"

The newcomers of the workplace should pay attention: careless neglect at work may damage your professional image.

Killer 1:

Although blushing makes you look sweet and lovely, it also conveys your immature and unsettled mentality.

Killer 2:

Crying at work not only makes you look weak and lacks self-control, but also makes people doubt that you will destroy the image of the company. You should learn to control your emotions.

Killer 3:

The mood words such as "hum" and "ha" can only mean that you are hesitant, nervous and lacking in intelligence.

Killer 4:

The only message that unsuccessful attire conveys to the boss is that important tasks can't be reassured to you.

You should choose clothes for what you want to do instead of dressing for your existing work.

Of course, clothes are far from enough -- inappropriate hairstyles and makeup will damage your professional image.

Killer 5:

When you show fright, you tell your boss that you lack the most basic professional skills.

Remember, adequate preparation is an effective way to reduce tension. It is necessary to make rehearsal before speaking.
