Many newcomers who are about to enter the job market have had a period of confusion when looking for a job: either they like to follow the trend, or they pick and choose from a wide variety of presentations.

In fact, job hunting and college selection of professional have many **** the same point, as long as in the selection of the target career before organizing the logic of choice, will not fall into the confusion circle. Thus, you can both understand what you want to do, but also to accurately choose to their own careers.

There are several popular concepts of choosing a career: love, high salary/rights and realizing dreams. (Feel free to add to this list if you have any shortcomings.) Starting from these aspects, we can first clarify what we want. Do you want to do what you love and continue your interest; or do you expect a career with higher pay or decent status; or do you choose a career for your dreams and beliefs.

Most of the time, newcomers to the job market follow this logical sequence: start from interest to career orientation. But there are strict prerequisites for this kind of career choice: first, you have to have a clear interest, second, this interest can be turned into a career that gives you a sense of fulfillment, and finally, it can lead you to the life you want to live. Let's try to start from the following perspectives to broaden the idea of choosing a career.

01Choose a career based on your specialty

The books and knowledge you have read and learned during your undergraduate or graduate studies cannot be easily wasted. These are the most familiar content of every newcomer to the workplace, but also the most competitive capital. Choose to continue to engage in the profession related to the career, not only in the interview time has an advantage, in the work also has an advantage. In actual recruitment, companies also prefer to work with their counterparts, and this is especially true for professions with high technical requirements.

02Choose a career based on your personality

Choosing a career based on your personality is a safe bet. If you don't choose well, and the requirements of your career and your personality are obviously too far apart, you won't have a good workplace experience, and in the long run, it won't be good for your personal prospects. It is recommended that you learn more about the nature of your preferred career or take an occupational personality test before choosing a career. Extroverts have an advantage in careers that deal with people, such as marketing and account managers. Introverted people who can study are better suited to careers that involve working with technology or equipment. Examples include finance, engineering, etc. People with creativity and artistic talent are suitable for art and design, new media and other colorful careers.

03Choose a career based on market heat

Following the crowd is not the best choice, but big data can give us reference. The market is in urgent need of positions, there is often a large personnel gap; the market is popular in the general recruitment of a large number of positions in the nature of more mature, with a clear and mature selection principles and methods, employment is also relatively easy.

Along with so many benefits, there are also many disadvantages to these more popular occupations, such as the polarization of entry standards. For example, there is a severe shortage of talent in high-tech careers, while sales positions are equally desperate for employees, but the barriers to entry are much lower.

After the premise of choosing a career is sorted out, we can formally select a career. Specific job position selection has the following several measurement factors: industry, enterprise, occupation, city. Corresponding to the following questions that need to be asked and answered: industry direction - to do which line of business enterprise direction - in what type of enterprise to do career direction - to do which aspect of the work city direction From this, we can think about the future development prospects and possible changes of the industry in the light of technological development and public demand, which can be used as a reference for individuals when choosing an industry.

02Enterprise Direction Suggestions

The units and occupations within the system include institutions, state-owned enterprises and civil servants, etc., while the units outside the system include foreign enterprises and private enterprises. These two choices have their own advantages and limitations. The choice of enterprise type reflects people's career values to a large extent. Most of the young people who choose to work within the system are looking for a stable working environment, a simple lifestyle, and the security of not having to worry about losing their jobs.

The work within the system is more stable, relatively easy, and the benefits are good. But on the other hand, the pay is relatively low. This leads to the idea that young people who have a desire to work hard may enter the system with the idea that they will not be able to see hope in a stable job. Foreign-funded enterprises focus on performance appraisal, pay more attention to employees with strong professional ability, and have higher salary levels. The biggest crisis in foreign companies is the mid-life crisis, unemployment pressure, for graduates with excellent academic background and young people, working in foreign companies have certain competitiveness and advantages, while broadening their horizons and accumulating capital in life.

Private enterprises also attach more importance to their employees' business ability, research and development ability, and management ability. Although private companies provide graduates with not high salary, but these in the process of expansion of the enterprise itself will produce many middle and senior management vacancies, the future of the workplace promotion space is larger.

As for the choice of post and city, it is a very important decision for the future life. You can collect more information before applying for a job to eliminate blind choices. The order in which these factors are considered and the degree to which they are prioritized will vary from person to person.

All things, are with the heart to strive hard, the opportunity is also left to those who are prepared. I hope that the sufficient understanding and preparation in the early stage can make people clear, make a correct decision, and harvest a satisfactory offer!
