After 10 years of graduation, what is the biggest 'stumbling block' that hinders your career development?
In the workplace, there are always some people whose work is not noticed and has no sense of existence; there are also some people who have strong ability and are paid attention to by leaders, but they become the captain of the fire fighting team in the company. After 10 years, I turned around suddenly and found that I can't do anything except put out fires, which led me to doubt my life and myself, until I became confused and anxious.
Yesterday, chatting with a friend, she was like that. She has a strong personality, ability and sense of responsibility. The boss values her very much, but she has become the captain of the boss' fire-fighting team. After working for 10 years, I did not manage a large department, nor did I participate in or lead any project in the whole process. In the company, I put out fires everywhere. In the end, I didn’t know what I was good at and what problems I could solve, and I began to get confused and anxious.
You may be curious about her. She is very efficient and has strong communication and communication skills, but she has never managed the department throughout the whole process, and she is not clear about her career planning. When you want to change jobs, you find that you really don’t know what she is good at What and what problems can be solved in the enterprise, I am about to reach the age of 35, and I am beginning to be confused and anxious.
After communicating with her, Pharaoh suggested that she should not leave the company at the moment. The best way is to go back to communicate with the boss, manage a department, work for at least 3 years, and then change jobs, so that she will know what she is good at and what she can solve for the company. The problem, at this time, your value will be shown, and your salary will be higher. Otherwise, by the time you get to 40 in a daze, your career is really over.
After 10 years of graduation, what is the biggest "stumbling block" that hinders your career development?
This may be the biggest problem many people encounter in their career development. No matter how long you work, as long as you don't understand the 5 keywords mentioned by Lao Wang, your career development may not be much better. So, what are the 5 keywords? Please listen to Lao Wang slowly.
- Planning
When it comes to planning, Lao Wang has contact with so many workplace friends who come to Lao Wang for career counseling. When he graduated from college, he didn't think about what he wanted to do, and he didn't plan his career, so he entered the workplace in a hurry. It feels quite smooth to walk, but when people reach the age of 30, they doubt whether their career is wrong. When I looked back, I found that I really went wrong, but it was too late. This is also a lot of people who start thinking about whether to change careers after the age of 30 and so on. Why switch careers? It is because of his poor career development, or not earning money, that he wants to change careers and make a mess of life.
Lao Wang wants to say that if you change careers, you basically start from 0. In this way, does your competitiveness still exist? Just like a few days ago, a 35-year-old working friend said that he started changing careers at the age of 35, and competed with the children born in the 90s and 95s on the same starting line every day. He persisted for half a year, but he couldn't hold on any longer, because he found that he could no longer compete with these post-90s and post-95s children.
This is career planning. How should the planning be done? The king suggested:

You should take a good look at your knowledge system and see what abilities you need to improve or which necessary certificates to take in your areas of expertise. For example, if you are a financial officer now, you can plan to become a CFO in the next 10 years, and then you start to think about your specific abilities, qualities, and what certificates you need, such as attending meetings, and what experience you have to become a CFO. . In this way, you will understand how your own path should go.
Reorganize your career to find out what you are best at and what problems you can solve. These are the two key words that Lao Wang will discuss below.
Be good at and solve
For professional managers, the most painful thing is not knowing where their core competitiveness is, let alone what they are good at and what problems they can solve. This causes you to be constantly rejected during the interview, and finally loses self-confidence and begins to be confused and anxious.
Pharaoh has been in contact with many professional managers. He thinks he has good abilities and always feels that he can solve any problem. However, during the interview, he is often rejected by the interviewer. What is the actual cause? In response to this problem, Lao Wang had an in-depth exchange with the HRVP of a large factory. The HRVP said that many companies are not recruiting generalists, but recruiting specialists. You come to the company to help the company solve certain problems, not Solve all problems. If a professional manager can solve all the problems of the enterprise, it can only show that he is bluffing or bragging.

Therefore, for professional managers, if you want to forget the barrel principle, you must find your best point and ability to solve corporate problems. In this way, when you are applying for a job, your highlights will be more prominent and more valuable. .
As the saying goes, one trick eats all over the world! It means that you have mastered excellent skills, you have unique skills, and you can make a living everywhere. The so-called unique skills refer to the ability that they are best at and best able to solve certain problems of the enterprise.
Pharaoh knows a friend with a low level of education, but his PPT is very beautiful, which can be described as beautiful. He is doing one thing now, helping some celebrities and others make PPT. Just when Pharaoh chatted with him last time, he said that as long as you can explain what you want and write it in word format, the PPT he made can satisfy you and fit your temperament very well.
Few people can have a trick like this. Workplace friends, have you discovered what you are best at or what problems you can best solve? As long as you find this value, your salary will increase rapidly, and at the same time, you will not be anxious and confused at all.
- Leading and participating in the whole process
Lao Wang mentioned a case in an article some time ago, saying that although the financial director of a company has a college degree, he led and participated in the company's IPO project throughout the entire process. When he changed jobs, his salary nearly doubled. Why is his salary increase so high? It is because he led and participated in the whole process of a company's IPO.
You may say that leading or participating in a project throughout the entire process requires opportunities, and these opportunities are hard to come by. Pharaoh wants to say, you are changing jobs so frequently, how can you have the opportunity and experience to participate in the whole project? Even if there is, the company will not hand it over to you, or let you participate in the whole process.
Just like a period of time, a company executive asked Lao Wang to communicate, saying that he was underappreciated. When Lao Wang carefully read his resume, he told him directly that you are not underappreciated, but because you have worked for 15 years without a complete project experience, people with such experience are definitely worthless.

Lao Wang suggested that for professional managers, they must lead or participate in some influential projects throughout the whole process, so that your career development will be better, and you will not be confused and anxious.
