Avoid Being "Waiting For" And Attaching Importance To Career Planning

As the number of students studying abroad has increased year by year, the proportion of returned students returning to employment has increased year by year.

A survey shows that 35% of returnees have employment problems.

Then how can students be avoided after studying abroad?

In 2010, there were over 280 thousand students studying abroad, and it is expected that they will continue to refresh their history in 2011.

According to relevant statistics, the proportion of returned students is increasing year by year. Among them, the returned students from Europe, America, Australia, Canada and Japan account for the overwhelming majority.

According to the survey conducted by the development research center of the State Council of China, more than 1500 overseas returnees show that over 35% of the returnees have employment problems, and 40% of the returnees feel wrong in their career direction and do not know what career they are suitable for.

This group of data shows that it is not true that gold can be plated abroad, and returnees will also be confused about their career development.

"Returnees in the job market can now be roughly divided into two categories," one industry insider said.

What are the reasons for "waiting"?

Reporters in the interview learned that a large number of students did not carefully analyze themselves, nor did they have detailed and thorough preparation and adjustment before going abroad. Some even went abroad simply to go abroad. Finally, the embarrassment appeared from the initial aura to "waiting for the sea".

Lack of planning before study is the main reason.

At present, more and more students are beginning to realize that before studying abroad, they should combine their own characteristics and circumstances to make a preliminary plan for their career and life.

Li Zhu, President of Eic education group, believes that many students often think of planning when facing major life choices or job setbacks. This may have missed the golden age of workplace development.

Students and parents should take the initiative to make a scientific and reasonable plan for their study abroad, strictly examine their qualifications for studying abroad, make rational decisions to study abroad, and scientifically plan and choose the destination countries, studying time, studying abroad schools and majors.

"Studying abroad is actually a part of the long course of life development".

He said that before studying abroad, it is necessary to make clear the "necessary cost of studying abroad, including time, cost and other opportunity cost". Second, we need to think about whether the experience of studying abroad will help its long-term development.

What are you going to do after reading? "

He believes that there is no standard answer to these questions, and the best answer is a choice consistent with one's outlook on life and values.

Three steps for studying abroad

So how to make career planning before studying abroad?

Experts point out that they can be divided into 3 steps: the first step is to have a clear understanding of who I am.

That is, from a psychological point of view to recognize their temperament type, personality characteristics, etc., the second step is to understand "what kind of work do I like to do?"

That is to know where your interests are; the third step is to understand "what kind of occupation can I do?"

That is, the ability to do what kind of work you have.

Have a clear understanding of your career and choose the right profession and school according to your specific career direction.

Studying abroad experts believe that everyone has their own unique characteristics, so long as students find their own direction of development, and when they study abroad, cultivate their own professional competitiveness, after returning home, it is not difficult to find their own suitable position.

Therefore, it is suggested that students studying abroad should make career planning before studying abroad, accumulate experience in foreign countries, pay attention to adjusting their learning at any time, improve their language advantages and grasp the frontier information according to their interests and abilities, and preferably work abroad for a period of time to accumulate their work experience.

The background of studying abroad is very important, but it is not the only advantage. The important thing is to make study abroad a kind of life experience and real talent reserve.

Professional choices should be tailored.

Then, how to choose a profession after career planning?

Experts suggest that choosing a major should focus on future employment trends, and choose careers that are promising and meet the needs of social development.

These occupations often mean large market demand, higher income and faster development.

Students can consider comprehensively from the perspectives of employment prospects, salary levels and future development. They can also learn about the ranking of popular professions through the Internet or the local human resources network, or understand the employment situation of graduates from all major universities and colleges, and consult their materials as much as possible, so as to provide an effective reference for their professional choices.

In fact, professional choice and career planning are mutually reinforcing relations. Before studying abroad, there is a clear career plan. Choosing majors is a matter of course.

It is worth noticing that professional choices should be tailored. Hot majors may not be suitable for students. Students should have a clear understanding of their background and future development before they study abroad. Combined with their hobbies and advantages, they should listen to experts' advice and choose the right direction for their development so as to avoid wasting their talents.

Students who are not very sure about their career planning before studying should know how to find more effective information channels, such as taking part in educational exhibitions suitable for themselves, consulting professionals and so on, to help themselves clear their way of studying abroad, plan and position as early as possible, be responsible for their education investment and future, and maximize the investment income of studying abroad.

30 years ago, Harvard University conducted a survey of the students at that time. The results showed that the depth of academic study, career planning, academic career planning and career planning had a great influence on a person's future development.

It is not conducive to students' future career development. Students should plan their career development from their own interests, personality, abilities and values, and then choose to study abroad, such as majors, institutions and countries, and accumulate their future career development ability during their study abroad.
