What is career planning exactly? A lot of people in the workplace seem to have a smattering of knowledge and even a lot of understanding bias. This misunderstanding has become a stumbling block for development. For example, "finding a job in a sales job to change one's character" and "studying this major by oneself" must have advantages. "Thirty or forty years old, it's too late to make career plans". In the personal career planning consultation, we find that there are ten general misunderstandings in career planning, which virtually obstructs the development of the workplace and limits their thinking.

Expert comment: "character is inherent, and work has a certain effect on personal character, but it will not produce essential changes." Hong Xiangyang, chief career planner of Xiangyang career, said that many people in the workplace want to exercise and completely change themselves through their work, but they will not be able to achieve their goals.

　　 Myth two: there must be a job in this field. advantage

"This profession" is not as good as the amateurs who are proficient in design, making her depressed and confused.

Expert comment: under normal circumstances, finding professional work has certain advantages in professional knowledge and skills. But the current situation is that the professional learning of college students is not in place, and because there is no advance planning for future career development, there is not enough knowledge and skills preparation, even do not know what to do, skills level is very difficult to dock with the needs of employers, often without "advantages". Hong Xiangyang reminds you that college students can make good use of their school time to prepare for their future career development and make early explorations so as to truly accumulate useful advantages.

Tom: after graduation, he listened to the arrangement at home and entered the bank. The work of the teller is boring and monotonous, which is not what he wanted to do before.

Expert comment: like a job, because this job satisfies your sense of achievement and value, and constantly stimulates you to pursue new goals. If your job is not your interest at the moment, it will not satisfy your sense of self fulfillment. Even if you can ensure your life in a short time, it will not be a long-term development direction. Hong Xiangyang reminded workplace people that when making clear career positioning and choosing careers, we must combine three aspects to make comprehensive decisions, namely, their own abilities, professional values and current career opportunities. Through comprehensive analysis and judgement, we can find a good job that is suitable, interesting and dedicated.

　　 Myth four: it's too late to make career planning at the age of thirty or forty.
