Planning Career With Constructivism

　　 The first step is to focus on problems.

First, clarify the question: constructivism The theory advocates "problem solving", so the first step is to clarify the problem. Describe the problem clearly, such as "what is my career development goal?" "should I choose A opportunity or B opportunity?" the question must be specific and clear, that is the focus question.

Two, determine the standard: to what extent the problem can be accepted, this is the standard. The goal of career planning must conform to the SMART principle of goal setting, that is, Specific, Measurable, Attainable, and other goals (such as life goals, interpersonal relationships, etc.) (Relevant), time nodes and deadline (Time-bound).

Three. Scope of regulation: what are the areas involved in the problem? What are the assumptions? This is the scope. Too large and too small can not be done. Too large will be vague and too small. For career development goals, it is clear ahead of time that the industry can be selected. Occupation Scope.

　　 The second step is to activate old knowledge / analysis problems.

Constructivism holds that learning is the process of students' active completion. Each person uses his past experience and knowledge to understand new information, and through perceiving, associating, evaluating and verifying new information, finally digesting it into his own understanding and integrating it into his own knowledge structure. Similarly, in career planning, the parties can also make systematic, systematic thinking, extension, questioning, reflection, connection and analysis of their own career development problems through their past knowledge system, experience and belief system. In order to achieve this goal, we can conduct self questioning, self dialogue and self mining according to the SWOT analysis model to ensure the logic of questions and answers.

I. advantage (strengths):

1, what advantages do I have?

2, why do I think I have such advantages? What kind of experience makes me think I have such advantages?

3, what advantages did these advantages have played in my growth and development in the past?

4, which industries / occupations within the scope are in need of this advantage? What are the requirements?

5, with such advantages, what things can I do well or accomplish in the future?

Two, weakness (Weakness):

1, what are my weaknesses?

2, why do I think I have such disadvantages? What happened in the past has made me feel that this is my disadvantage?

3. How did these weaknesses affect my growth and development in the past?

4, will these disadvantages affect my industry / career in the field?

5, how do I avoid these weaknesses in the future so that they will not affect my career development?

Three, opportunity (Opportunity):

1, what opportunities and choices do I have now?

2, which opportunities are related to my strengths and interests?

3, what opportunities do I have to face, and what are their requirements for competency models?

4, at this stage, what is my competency model?

5, what kind of opportunities do I have to match my competency model?

Four, threat (threat):

1, does the current economic situation support me to choose these opportunities?

2. What are the limitations of the surrounding environment on my career development?

3, what are my competitors? What is the difference between them?

4, if you choose the above opportunity, how much will it cost? What kind of cost do you need to pay?

5, what is the difference between my quality model and the quality model required by the opportunity? Can I make up for it?

The question here is that you have already got several answers to the primaries, but it is still vague and uncertain, and can not satisfy the SMART principle. At this time, do not worry, calm down, close your eyes, expand your imagination, imagine in your imagination that you have chosen one of the opportunities, and then, in the next 1-3 years or 3-5 years, you may be in a state of work and life, what kind of relationships you have around you, what things you will do every day, what achievements you may achieve, what difficulties you may encounter, where and where you may work together, try to imagine, the more specific you want, the clearer the picture, the better the effect. Every opportunity can be imagined in such a way. Finally, ask yourself: is this the life you want?

　　 The third step Inductive sorting

1, prove the new knowledge: arrange the result of dialogue with oneself, and make it orderly. The brain's thinking structure is tree like, so the questions and answers must be arranged according to the tree structure, just like mind map. There are seven branches of career planning: strengths, weaknesses, interest points, quality models, life conditions, opportunity costs, and SMART principles.

2, apply the new knowledge: list each alternative opportunity and alternative development path, and evaluate them from the dimensions of the above seven branches respectively. Since only one direction of development can be chosen at the end, the scoring criteria for each dimension should be worked out, and the priorities should be sorted through the scores, so as to finally clarify the objectives. Examples are as follows:

Optional opportunities, strengths, weaknesses, interest and quality

Model life status opportunity

The cost is in line with SMART.

Principle total score

Professional manager 4-1-11-1114

Entrepreneurship as boss 5-21-21-112

　　比如，選擇其中某個機會，能夠發揮你的4個優勢，就可以在“優勢”一欄下面計4分;但是其中有一個劣勢會對你實現目標造成阻礙，就在“劣勢”下面計-1分;如果這個機會能夠滿足你的興趣愛好，就在“興趣”一欄計1分，否則計-1分;如果你的素質模型與這個機會對素質模型的要求完全匹配，就在“素質模型”一欄計1分，如果有1項不匹配就計-1分，有2項不匹配就計-2分;如果在第三步中，設想選擇這個機會，3-5年以后的生活狀態是你想要的，就在“生活狀態”一欄下面計1分，否則計-1分;如果選擇這條路，機會成本比較高，就在“機會成本”下面計-1分，否則計1分;如果目標制定出來符合目標制定的SMART原則，就在“符合SMART原則”一欄計1分，否則計-1分。

Through this scientific process oriented inductive sorting method, you can make your career development goals clear in a short time.

　　 The fourth step is to formulate a planning plan. Action plan

1, clear core objectives. In a popular saying, don't forget your original mind. Only one core goal is your career development goal. After that, all your annual plans, quarterly plans, and monthly plans should be focused on this core goal.

2, list the important tasks to achieve the core goals. Important tasks refer to the small goals that must be achieved before reaching the core objectives. But don't confuse "task" with "plan". The task is standard. For example, your plan can be "read a book every month and do a reading session." if you change your job, you will read a book once a month and share more than 50 people. The rate of praise is above 90%. After sharing, the number of WeChat accounts fans increased by more than 20 people.

3, classify important tasks. On the one hand, classification is to allocate resources and energy more reasonably and effectively. On the other hand, it is to plan priorities according to the importance of tasks, so that decisions can be made quickly when tasks conflict with tasks.

4, decomposing important tasks to annual, quarterly and monthly levels, forming annual goals of career nodes and formulating specific action plans.

5, through the PDCA cycle to implement the plan, in the implementation of the plan, do well in time management and progress control.

1. P (Plan) - plan. It includes the determination of objectives, the planning of strategies and the formulation of plans.

D (Design) - Design and implementation. The design plan is implemented in detail to achieve the important tasks in the plan.

(3) C (Check) - check. It is to summarize and reflect on the milestones of important tasks, find out problems and analyze problems.

(4) A (Act) - processing. The results of the inspection are processed. The successful experience should be standardized so as to solve similar problems efficiently in the future. The lessons of failure should be summarized and managed to avoid and improve.

The above four steps, using constructivist ideas and models, through high-quality problems and structured processes, allow people to question and reflect on their own thinking patterns, promote them to break through the original mindset, and enhance their mental models in self dialogue, so as to find a career development path that is really suitable for them, and rationally plan their career development career.
