Model essay on career planning: 1. Preface In today's society, people pay more and more attention to self-development, perfection and realization, which objectively requires us to make an all-round overall plan for our future, which can also be said to be career planning. It is our career choice and even our life plan, which is very important for us. Career planning allows us to fully understand ourselves, understand our advantages and disadvantages, and interests, and can make practical plans in combination with our characteristics, laying a good foundation for our future. It has become a source of motivation, encouraging ourselves to forge ahead and pursue higher goals, providing us with guidance, enabling us to have a direction of progress and helping us choose the most correct path that suits us. 2. Self-analysis 1. My personality: My advantages are optimistic and positive personality, open-minded in everything, easy-going, friendly to others, sincere, rigorous and careful, responsible, enterprising and curious, always searching for the unknown, good at thinking and discovering, good at studying, strong in logical thinking, fond of teamwork, good in comprehensive analysis, comprehensive in consideration and striving for fairness and justice. Disadvantages are that he is a little introverted and sensitive, he has no definite view on things, sometimes he is loose and free, likes to complain, he always has a lot of worries when doing things, and he is afraid to try. He is not good at communicating with others, he is embarrassed when getting along with others, he doesn't know what to say, he can't get along well with strangers, and his eloquence is not good. He feels very nervous when making speeches in public, and he is afraid to express his ideas boldly. His writing ability is not strong enough to take risks. 2. My interest: I usually like reading books, especially novels with strong stories; I also like listening to music and have a strong interest in pop and classical Chinese folk music. Surfing the internet is also my hobby. I will watch news and chat on the internet every day after I go home during the holiday. I also like animation and have a wide range of dabbling in it. 3. My values: I think beauty and harmony are the most important. Looking at the problem in a dialectical way, people should make contributions to society, but they should not be completely divorced from their own needs. They should try their best to link their own requirements with society to achieve mutual satisfaction and mutual benefit. At the same time, we should have an optimistic attitude towards life, see the positive side of everything, and use this to motivate ourselves to make progress and create better life value. 4. My ability: professional skills: economics, management, advanced mathematics, accounting, economic law. English (up to CET-4), computer (up to CET-2), self-taught elementary Japanese. Other skills: Have certain teamwork ability, organization and planning ability, innovation ability, strong learning and thinking ability, absorb knowledge firmly, have good memory and be good at observation. 3. Analysis of professional employment direction and prospect (1) Employment direction 1, accounting firm 2, accounting of various units 3, engaging in some non-accounting work 4, Employment opportunities for civil servants: insurance statisticians, auditors, bank inspectors, income managers, budget control analysts, registered public accountants, financial directors, claim coordinators, customer loan officers, cost accountants, credit and recycling experts, government accountants, list control experts, loan administrators, management consultants, management accountants, personal financial designers and professors. Accountants, securities brokers, system analysts, tax experts, financial officials, trust accountants, insurance companies, potential employment markets: government departments, banks/financial departments, industrial accounting companies, consulting companies, non-profit organizations, government departments, hospitals, associations, insurance industries, private industries, various schools and universities, and college-run enterprises (2) Prospect analysis First, domestic-funded enterprises: this piece has the greatest demand for accounting talents. Many small and medium-sized domestic enterprises, especially private enterprises, are not looking for professionals with the ability of financial management and analysis for accounting positions. Moreover, most of these companies have rather rudimentary financial supervision and control systems, and the monthly salary of newcomers is mostly around 1,5 yuan. Second, foreign enterprises: most foreign-funded enterprises have higher treatment for the same position. Their financial management systems and methods are mature, and their work efficiency is high. They usually provide professional training for new employees for a period of time, and there are many follow-up training opportunities, which are very suitable for practical work. The division of labor is meticulous, but it is unfavorable to the whole career development process, and it is difficult to obtain comprehensive financial control and analysis experience. The reasonable monthly salary of new employees is more than 3 yuan, and most foreign companies can solve all kinds of insurance and housing accumulation fund for employees. Third, firms: ordinary firms have low pay and many chores. Foreign firms such as PricewaterhouseCoopers are paid much better, but their work tasks are heavier. You can really learn a lot in the firm. For an audit project, you must follow it from beginning to end, including communication with the submitting unit, etc., so that you can fully exercise your ability and hone your teamwork, international accounting standards, professionalism and will. The monthly salary of some firms is only 1 yuan, while others are around 3, yuan, and interns in foreign-funded firms can get more than 5, yuan. Fourth, financial consulting: The demand for personal financial consulting positions is gradually increasing. Due to the increase of social investment channels and the reform of the security system, financial consulting services will surely enter more people's lives. Demand is mainly in social investment and financial advisory services. The salary of personal financial consultants in banks is at least 2, yuan per month, and there is room for improvement in income. Fifth, civil servants and teachers have the advantages of stability and low pressure, but also have the disadvantages of difficult development. In addition, the professional employment prospects of certified public accountants are good. First, certified public accountants are a hot profession. Second, the development of CPA industry has a huge demand for talents. Third, the social demand for high-quality financial talents is more prominent. Fourth, from the past data, it also proves that the employment prospects of students majoring in certified public accountants are promising. 4. Career analysis (1) Personal career options: management accountant is the first choice, followed by financial manager (2) Reasons for choosing: Because the two career goals are very similar, they are combined and analyzed by SWOT. S (Advantage): Personally, these two occupations objectively require practitioners to be careful, responsible and sensitive to numbers, while I am a rigorous and introverted person with a strong sense of responsibility, a certain logical thinking ability and good at complicated work, which are very suitable, and I have a strong interest in accounting and finance. Family factors: My parents fully participated in the process of choosing my major, and they were confident that I could be competent in this field. Some of my relatives were engaged in accounting, and they gave me some advice in this respect, which made me have a better understanding of this, more determined my determination, and the support of my family was the driving force for my choice. W (disadvantage): there is no opinion in doing things, and it is not decisive enough; Personality is loose and free, and efficiency is sometimes low; Poor writing ability; Patience is not enough, and it is easy to get upset; Weak will and lack of courage; Eloquence is not outstanding, communication skills are poor, and interpersonal skills are not strong. O (Opportunity): Accounting and financial management have a continuous social demand and a dominant position in the enterprise, and the accounting and financial department is a core department in the enterprise. The social demand is large, it is easier to find a job, the salary is good, the job is stable, and the employment situation is optimistic. T (threat): the industry is close to employment saturation, and the competitive pressure is increasing; There are too many graduates, the school is not a professional financial college, and there is no advantage; Not an emerging industry, there is not much room for development; Busy business gives people a sense of tension, which is not conducive to health. (3) Job content and competency of the first career goal option: 1. Conduct accounting, so as to make timely bookkeeping and correct calculation. 2, the implementation of accounting supervision, so that violations must be corrected, violations must be changed. 3, formulate specific measures for accounting affairs in this unit. 4. Participate in the formulation of economic plans, business plans, assessment and analysis of the implementation of budget and financial plans. Handle other accounting affairs. Competency: Self-analysis: Accountants need to have a good mathematical foundation and logical thinking ability, master the contents of economics and management, be able to handle accounts for enterprises, make suggestions for operation and investment, properly evaluate enterprise assets, make clear accounting statements, provide timely and effective information, and serve the profit purpose of enterprises. Accountants have the responsibility to fully understand the situation of the enterprise, make reasonable suggestions to the enterprise, help the enterprise realize the highest income at the lowest cost and ensure the accuracy of the information. At the same time, we should also have good interpersonal skills and teamwork skills. Qualification requirements: accounting certificate-golden rice bowl. At present, domestic accounting certificates are divided into junior, intermediate and senior accountants. Internationally: 1. ACCA (Chartered Institute of Accountants) 2. AIA (International Professional Qualification Certificate of Accountants) 3. CGA (Canadian Institute of Certified Accountants) 4. CMA (American Management Accountant Certification Examination) 5. ASCPA (Australian Institute of Certified Accountants). Industry requirements: make suggestions for some units on accounting issues. Develop, establish and maintain a budget system for managing sales products, maintenance expenses and capital construction expenses. Compare estimated and actual costs, income, administrative commitments and other debts. Analyze current and past business records. Plan, establish and guide the accounting system to record the accumulated costs of raw materials, labor and factory overheads, and provide the management department with a basic report as to whether it is desirable to decide the sales price and add or remove some items in the product production line. Record the style, location, value and other relevant information of all equipment, buildings and other property owned and leased by the company. Prepare regular property targets. Allocate the maintenance cost to the appropriate account. Check the records and prepare monthly financial statements reflecting the appreciation and depreciation. Summarize the annual financial statements on income tax. Prepare depreciation schedule of buildings and equipment. Formulate and implement tax accounting system to record tax payable. Write and submit a brief report or clarify the principles to various tax authorities. To study new and existing tax laws and regulations, formulate policies and measures in consultation with management departments, and discuss the tax impact of business plans, business and other specific matters. According to the prescribed tax rates, regulations and detailed rules, check the accounts and accounting vouchers to calculate the tax application. (4) The gap with the goal of career choice For me, many schools now offer accounting majors, and there are more and more graduates. How to stand out from the crowd has become a practical problem. Now we are all studying some basic courses, and there is no professional knowledge about accounting, let alone practical ability. The main gap between us now lies in: First of all, we are only learning some basic principles, not how to actually operate them, and we only know a little. Secondly, we basically have no practical ability, do not understand the specific operational processes of enterprises, and how to master these processes in accounting. Without internship experience, we can't practice specifically, which makes us seriously lack of experience and can't achieve those abilities required by accounting. Also, we don't have any certificates to prove our professional skills, and we can't compete with those with accounting certificates after graduation. Finally, our school is not a professional financial college. Compared with them, our knowledge and skills may not be as comprehensive as theirs, and the reputation of the school will objectively affect employment, so we have disadvantages compared with others. In addition, we don't have any social experience, and we don't have sufficient "soft abilities" such as interpersonal communication, communication and teamwork. V. Specific action plan for actual career goals Last semester of sophomore year: study hard and master the basic knowledge, so as to make full preparations for entering the accounting class in the next semester of sophomore year. Focus on the computer level 2 exam. After returning home during the holiday, I will set aside a fixed time to practice computer operation every day, mainly the design of the database. I will make full use of the learning resources given to us by the teacher, do more computer experiments, and thoroughly study every knowledge point, so that I can fully master it and use it skillfully to ensure that I can get high marks in the computer exam. Next semester of sophomore year: I focus on CET-4. I have bought a lot of learning materials in CET-4. My plan is to listen to radio English programs at six o'clock every morning to practice listening, read English words by heart from six thirty to seven o'clock, practice speaking, do two readings every day, read an English article, practice reading, write an English composition every week and practice writing, and do two sets of simulated test questions every week to get familiar with the types and seize the time. Concentrate on learning accounting professional knowledge and ability, strive for professional scholarships, do social practice surveys on the one hand during holidays, and find a part-time job to experience and exercise yourself. Last semester of junior year: I dabbled in Accounting, Auditing, Financial Cost Management, Economic Law, and Tax Law. In order to get ready for registered accounting, I have to pass CET-6, and on the basis of existing materials, I have to focus on strengthening listening and cooperation training to improve my comprehensive ability, and I have to practice computer more to cope with computer tests. Use your spare time to visit some job fairs, understand the skills needed by enterprises, know yourself and know yourself, and win every game. Next semester of junior year: strive for a scholarship, and start preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination for accounting majors, consolidate English study, start studying politics, buy some reference materials, and recite and understand them in spare time. At the same time, set a goal of which school to take the postgraduate exam, collect more information about the accounting of the school, listen to the classes there, get in touch with and know more about similar students and teachers, ask them for information, get ready for the exam, and plan to find a job in an accounting firm during the holiday. Last semester of senior year: continue to fully prepare for postgraduate entrance examination, study politics in an all-round way, and systematically review professional courses. The main focus is on preparing for the exam. Use your spare time to learn resume writing and interview skills and methods to fully improve yourself. Next semester of senior year: it is the sprint stage of postgraduate entrance examination to concentrate on preparing graduation thesis for one to two months, which will concentrate on reviewing, so that I can finally get into the graduate school of the ideal university, complete my goals, realize myself and successfully complete my college studies. 6. Conclusion Only by determining our own goals can we have the motivation to move forward. Career planning provides us with this opportunity. We should know ourselves, be strict with ourselves, be down-to-earth, stimulate interest, reserve knowledge, cultivate ourselves into a professional talent, keep our feet firm, make continuous efforts, overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and pursue our dreams. Look at the present and create the future. I believe that success is in front of us!
