Preface to Career Planning for English Majors 1
Society is like a big dye vat. Everyone should have his own opinion on what color to dye in this dye vat, otherwise, if you go with the flow, it will not become a colorful canvas in the end. In the modern society with fierce competition, everyone wants to be a phoenix in the bath, realize their ideals and create a world. But the realization of the ideal and the success of the cause are achieved step by step through careful planning. Without his own career plan, that person will undoubtedly drift at sea like an unmanned sailboat in society and will die in the drift. Therefore, career planning is of great significance and influence to everyone who is determined to become a success, and it is the first step for a person to successfully realize his ambition.
Self - analysis
Since childhood, my family education has been strict. Under this strict family education, I have developed a character of not being afraid of difficulties, having perseverance and not giving up easily in what I want to do. My parents also gave me enough space to choose and judge my own affairs independently and develop my own personality. But at the same time, my parents gave me too much care, which made me want to rely on others sometimes, and I was a little indecisive when making decisions.
Therefore, my character has two sides. On the one hand, I am more cheerful, like to deal with different people and take the initiative to learn about all new things. I will say what I don't like directly, and I won't be too persistent. On the other hand, I am quiet. Sometimes I like reading quietly or doing other things alone, and I'm not good at interacting with people I don't know very well, which leads me to be rather stiff and unable to express my thoughts and opinions freely in some public places.
I have a wide range of interests, such as traveling, skating, swimming, surfing the Internet, reading, listening to music, watching movies and writing calligraphy. These hobbies not only enable me to keep abreast of the changes in the surrounding environment, but also enable me to constantly understand myself and improve myself. Because of my personal hobby, I am also good at calligraphy, and I have a certain sensitivity and perception of words. And now my major is English, so I also have certain English communication, reading and writing skills and career planning. Personally, I am also good at observation, have a certain insight, and can perceive the changes around me and the needs of others in time, which makes me more active in dealing with people.
Analysis of professional employment direction and prospect
Now my major is English (language and literature). English major is a heavyweight subject among language majors. The aim is to train English professionals in foreign affairs, economy and trade, culture, press and publication, education, scientific research, tourism and other fields, so as to meet the social demand for senior language professionals such as translation, scientific research, teaching and management. Students in this major mainly study the basic theories and knowledge of language, literature, history, politics, economy, diplomacy, social culture and so on. They are well-trained in English listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation, master certain scientific research methods, and have professional level, good quality and strong ability in translation, scientific research, teaching and management.
Employment direction:
English majors can engage in business management, business translation, foreign trade negotiation, economic and trade secretarial work, English editing, English journalists, foreign-related business agents, foreign-related public relations, foreign-related tour guides and so on. In state organs, foreign affairs, foreign trade, foreign enterprises, various foreign-related financial institutions, business management companies, professional translation agencies, publishing, news, tourism, high-end hotels and other departments. You can also engage in teaching and scientific research in middle schools, technical secondary schools, vocational high schools, technical schools and English language training centers, colleges and universities, and scientific research departments.
English majors have more opportunities to go abroad besides employment. Moreover, if students have new interests during their study, they can easily transfer to other majors or take postgraduate courses in other majors on the basis of English majors.
Employment prospects:
Now, English has become a tool, more and more people can use it freely, and the demand for English professionals in society is greatly reduced. However, parents and students have always been enthusiastic and devoted to English major. The result of excessive attention is that the market demand is saturated, and a large number of job seekers who have only mastered English professional skills have to fall into the dilemma of finding jobs. At the same time, employers have higher and higher requirements for job seekers' academic qualifications. If you are employed in colleges and universities in large and medium-sized cities, all graduates are required to have master's and doctoral degrees, and most of them need excellent doctoral graduates. Moreover, employers also require job seekers to have rich relevant work experience, which puts fresh graduates at an absolute disadvantage.
Career planning for English majors 2 1. Understand that the employment competition of domestic college students is fierce.
Since 20xx, with college graduates entering the job market, the number of college graduates in China will show an obvious upward trend in the future. According to the data provided by the Ministry of Education, the total number of college graduates in China will be 6.5438+0.45 million in 20xx, 2.65438+0.2 million in 20xx and 2.8 million in 20xx. 20xx has reached 4 1 10,000. In the absence of obvious increase in social demand, the rapid growth of the number of graduates will inevitably lead to an increase in employment pressure for college students. The employment of college students has changed from "elite" employment to "mass" employment, and there has been a situation in which migrant workers and college students compete for the same position. At present, the employment market of college students in China is obviously in short supply in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai and developed coastal areas, but in remote areas such as the west, the supply is less than the demand; The demand for normal students in small and medium-sized cities tends to be saturated, while the demand for normal graduates in rural areas cannot be met. The demand in the job market is unbalanced. At present, the employment salary of college students in developed areas is 1500-3000 yuan/month, while the salary of college students in small and medium-sized cities is 800-2000 yuan/month. Since the number of students entering senior high school began to decline after 2008, it will become more and more difficult for normal students to enter school.
2. Understand the current employment situation of foreign language majors.
For example, the employment rate of foreign language graduates in a school is 95.8% in 20xx, including 55% for English normal students, 36% for undergraduates, 100% for Japanese majors and 13% for graduate students. Only four people went to public schools in the city, and the rest went to public schools in the county to teach junior and senior high schools. 37% of students enter private English training schools, 4 1% enter foreign enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises or foreign-related enterprises, and 15% take postgraduate entrance examinations, go abroad or join the armed police force.
3. Analyze and predict the employment space that foreign language majors can expand.
Private English training schools or training courses, foreign-related positions in enterprises of all sizes, company positions such as self-employment, English interpretation, simultaneous interpretation, and web page translation writers.
4. Clarify the knowledge, quality and skills needed to expand employment space.
Have a certain knowledge of English such as business English, advertising English, clothing English, insurance English, current affairs and political English, computer skills such as network production, multimedia and programming, official document writing ability, good communication and coordination ability, oral expression ability, teamwork ability, adaptability and good psychological adjustment ability.
Second, objectively analyze your professional level, comprehensive quality and ability, and develop habits.
At present, the common problems of our foreign college students are: poor oral expression ability, poor initiative, weak ability to collect and process information, weak ability to resist pressure, poor cooperation ability, insufficient consideration of problems, lack of attention to details, and inability to make correct choices when dealing with many phenomena.
Third, choose your own employment direction and determine the content of professional quality and ability you want to expand.
No matter what occupation you choose, you must have the following professional qualities: good ideological and moral cultivation (honesty, dedication and strong sense of responsibility), cultural quality (professional knowledge, official document writing ability and relatively extensive knowledge) and ability (official document cooperation ability, oral expression ability, teamwork ability, adaptability, innovation ability and psychological adjustment ability).
Fourth, make a written training practice plan to realize the comprehensive quality and ability needed by your future career.
Fifth, the specific time and content of the four-year career planning of the university.
Career planning should run through the whole process of four years of college. In addition to establishing a perfect career guidance system and functional departments, the employment guidance department of colleges and universities should also educate and guide college students' career planning from the beginning of their freshman year. Of course, due to the different grade characteristics of the four grade students, the ways and means adopted are also different, and at the same time, due to the differences of individual students, the time and methods chosen should also be different.
Freshman is the initial period of understanding;
Students mainly deepen their understanding of the training objectives and employment direction of this major, enhance their self-study ability, cultivate their own professional learning objectives, and let themselves have a preliminary understanding of the future professional career and professional radiation career, and understand the various qualities they should have. They stressed the need to cultivate their good habits of doing small things and ordinary things seriously, such as arranging holidays to "clean the house according to the cleanliness standards of star-rated hotels". Encourage students to exercise their writing ability, aesthetic creativity and various abilities by participating in various activities. Students participate in clubs and social practice activities, constantly thinking and summarizing themselves in various activities, and improving themselves. For example, participating in student volunteer work can improve the sense of responsibility, initiative and anti-frustration ability, and personal writing skills such as semester work plan, class work plan, activity work plan, etc. Every student should set up his own "talent pool" file to record his own characteristics, interests, professional ability tendency, participation in activities, ability expansion, self-evaluation and so on. Form a broad career plan. The way to participate in exercise is to actively participate in university activities, with the focus on strengthening the cultivation of personal details and aesthetic feeling after participating in activities.
Sophomore is a directional selection period:
It is necessary to consider whether to take the postgraduate entrance examination or get employment in the future. Due to the demand of employers for graduates, college students' majors are generally chosen first. The contribution of college students after entering the society is mainly realized by using the professional knowledge they have learned. So your professional knowledge should be profound. At the same time, I will enhance my oral English and computer application ability, pass the relevant certificate examinations of CET-4 and computer province, understand the information of postgraduate entrance examination, and determine the direction of postgraduate entrance examination. While mastering broad basic knowledge and profound professional knowledge, we should also broaden our professional knowledge, master or understand some professional knowledge and skills related to this major and start to selectively minor in other majors to enrich ourselves; At the same time, test your knowledge and skills, and modify your career plan and design according to your personal interests and abilities. It is best to engage in long-term work related to your future career or major after class, such as participating in student research and part-time work. Encourage students to exercise their abilities by participating in various practical activities according to their own conditions. The ways and means of exercise are to participate in college activities or organize activities independently by individuals. The key point is to rationally analyze and summarize the characteristics, and strengthen the infiltration of aesthetic perception and the ability to create beauty in practice after the activity.
The relatively mature stage of junior year is the sprint period:
Approaching graduation from internship. Therefore, the goal should be to improve job hunting skills, collect company information, and determine whether to take the postgraduate entrance examination. While strengthening professional study and preparing for postgraduate entrance examination, we began to pay attention to improving job-hunting skills and cultivating students' independent entrepreneurial ability. For example, colleges and universities can train students' ability and creativity to solve problems independently through the quality development activities of college students; Encourage students to put forward their own opinions boldly when writing professional academic articles, and exercise their ability and creativity to solve problems independently; Participate in summer practice related to major; Strengthen contact with graduates, exchange job-hunting experience, learn to write resumes and cover letters, increase channels for collecting work information, actively try to join alumni networks, talk with graduates and teachers and sisters, and learn about job hunting in previous years; Students who want to study abroad can contact overseas study consultants, participate in a series of overseas study activities, prepare TOEFL and gre, pay attention to the information of overseas study exams, and consult relevant education departments for general reference. The main way to improve exercise in this period should be to independently plan and organize targeted activities, pay attention to the details of activities, comprehensively think about the significance and depth and breadth of activities, and strengthen their ability to create beauty.
Senior year is the period of differentiation and decision-making;
Most students should have a clear plan for their own way out, and they will not hesitate to find a job, take the postgraduate entrance examination and go abroad. Students' goals should focus on job application and successful employment. At this time, make a comprehensive analysis and summary of the preparations for the first three years: first, check whether the established career goals are clear and whether the preparations for the first three years are sufficient; What employment skills do you need to strengthen and expand? Then, carry out special practical training for yourself, and try to practice as much as possible when you are fully prepared. Strengthen job-hunting skills, in addition to attending formal employment guidance classes, but also conduct mock interviews and other training in the dormitory. At the same time, make full use of the campus employment network provided by the school, understand the information of employing companies provided by the employment guidance center, and persist in surfing the Internet every day to understand the requirements of various industries for talents, job hunting cases, recruitment information, etc. Actively accept all kinds of job-hunting skills training, participate in recruitment activities, and test your accumulation and preparation in practice.
The arrangement of the postgraduate students in time is:
5%-70% of the time spent reading the postgraduate entrance examination books in the third semester; In my senior year, I spent 95% of my time reading postgraduate entrance examination books and 5% of my time preparing for job hunting. From my freshman year, I officially entered the stage of thinking and designing my career. In view of the social environment and employment situation, we should constantly improve our own choices and personal situation, strengthen our self-expansion practice, and greatly stimulate our professional knowledge and social needs, our own potential and future career development. Persistence and regularity are required, because only by doing it regularly, even every day, can we form habits, form habits, have the ability and quality, truly lay the foundation for future career goals, truly complete college life with high quality, and truly realize self-development by leaps and bounds.
Career planning book for English majors 3 i. Preface
The first step to realize your dream is to have a dream. With a goal, there will be motivation.
In today's era of talent competition, career planning has begun to become another important weapon for people. As a contemporary college student, how can we meet the needs of society and make a place for ourselves when we step into this crowded society with a blank face?
No dream is a terrible thing for everyone, hitting the wall like a headless fly. Because of the rapid development of commodity economy, it is difficult for many people to make a long-term plan for their lives. Buddhists have a saying: "Reason is self-emptiness" and "emptiness has no self-nature". Indeed, in modern society, the pace of people's life is accelerating, and social upgrading and development are very fast. If we, as weak individuals, don't step up, keep up with the times and keep learning, it will be difficult to make great progress.
And there must be a long-term and stable plan. First of all, career planning is an unchangeable tool to help vulnerable individuals fight against the unpredictable world. China people pay attention to "changing with the constant", so they need a stable career plan. Secondly, the pursuit of stability is in line with human nature. According to Marx, there should be no religion in a highly developed modern society. However, the continuous development of religion in modern society and the increasing number of believers have led to the direct bankruptcy of Marx's thought. Why do so many people still believe in religion today with the continuous development of science and human understanding? One reason is that religion provides people with stable pursuits and beliefs. ...
Personally, it is very important for me to find my place in interpersonal relationships. Foucault has a famous theory of "discourse power", which puts forward the problem of a discourse platform. Especially in China, a society with complicated interpersonal relationships, we must know how to find our own role. Realize a higher discourse platform through independence.
Career is limited, and if you don't plan effectively, you will waste your life and time. Therefore, I strive to draw up my career plan and design my future.
Second, self-inventory.
I am a contemporary undergraduate, and my greatest hope at home is to become a useful talent. I am outgoing, cheerful and lively. I like to make friends, listen to music, go out for a walk, chat and surf the Internet in my spare time. I like reading magazines and books. I usually get along well with people. My relatives, friends and teachers are very concerned about me. I like innovation. I work hard and devote myself wholeheartedly. Lack of endurance in study, so I have never been an excellent student. Sometimes sentimental, without the temperament and character of success.
Personal basic situation: I love thinking and realize my existence with the creed of "I think, therefore I am". I pay attention to the accumulation of money, and I have a strong interest and thirst for knowledge about everything I don't know. Suitable for research work.
Career interest: Based on my life experience of nearly 20 years, my main interest is still focused on thinking about this aspect. Have strong abstract thinking ability. Therefore, my professional interest is to study scholars. If I want to have a professional orientation, I hope to be a scholar with high scientific research level.
Professional ability and adaptability: I have strong academic thinking ability. I like to think about problems since I was a child and am good at finding problems. A famous scholar once said that "the real ability is not to solve the problem of collecting and sorting, but to find problems". Issues such as interpersonal relationship and promotion in the post have become unimportant. I am a sincere person, I want to treat others sincerely, and I will live sincerely like others. I don't care about whether others' feedback is enough, only about whether I help others enough. Reward-oriented help is not helpful at the beginning. In addition, my value orientation is "knowing the blessings and doing good deeds", so I won't be too confused in interpersonal relationships. If there is confusion in interpersonal relationships, it is because you are not doing well enough! I have never been entangled in interpersonal relationships since I was a child.
Professional values: As mentioned earlier, I am a person with a strong sense of social responsibility, and my professional values will also be biased towards the relief society. I use my brush strokes to influence the souls of others and the souls of the world. If I have to give a value, it is that I have made new discoveries in my thinking. If I can influence the progress of my field or the development of mankind, that is my value. How many people make only a faint discovery all their lives, let alone wait for ordinary people.
Ability: One of the biggest misunderstandings in society is to spread a lie that "anything is possible" to the world, which will lead many ordinary people like me to have a chance to dream, but the final result is that the society is full of practical ability, but it is not so good, but it has been obsessed with an incompetent career.
Self-analysis summary:
The greatest sorrow of philosophy is the creation of "self", and the greatest sorrow of mankind is the strengthening of "self".
"Life is too short to be an official if you study well", "The road is long, and I will go up and down for it". "I am a stone picker on the beach, occasionally picking up a stone or two, but the ocean of truth has not been discovered by us."
I want to strengthen continuous learning, and another major limitation is to strengthen physical exercise while continuing to learn. "Health is the capital of revolution", so we should strengthen physical exercise and nutrition.
Third, solve the disadvantages and deficiencies in self-inventory.
As the saying goes, a leopard cannot change his spots. Although perseverance is not enough, I can spur myself with that positive enthusiasm. Over time, I will gradually cultivate myself, make full use of the advantages of the huge group of relatives and friends who have always cared for and supported me, sincerely consult my classmates, teachers and friends, point out the existing differences in time, and make corresponding plans to correct them. Patience problem: slowly exercise your patience through things in daily life, such as fishing, puzzles, go and so on.
Regular exercise can enhance physical fitness and make up for the negative effects caused by insufficient altitude.
Fourth, the analysis of occupational status.
Analysis of family conditions: I live in a national poverty-stricken county, our village is on a high mountain, and the living standards of local people are very low. Of course, our family is no exception. I like buying books very much, but I always have to consider the economic conditions at home. Although the living standard has improved now, for a peasant family who has to pay huge college tuition, there is no more experience to support other qualities of children. Because I am the only person in our family who can be called a senior intellectual, my parents love their children dearly, and they always do their best for their children's dreams, even if there is only the last strength left-how touching a father's love for his mother is-to pay tribute to his parents!
Analysis of school conditions: There are many good teachers in our school, and all kinds of hardware facilities rank first in the country. I'm afraid I can't find a job as long as I exercise my ability to the strongest.
Analysis of social environment: indeed, modern society is a science and engineering society, and it seems difficult for liberal arts students to find jobs. Because modern social science is the ultimate value of all values, only jobs and skills that are transformed into productive forces in the first time can be recognized by the society. This is due to the society's excessive concern for economic development. Due to excessive attention to the economy, it is easy to lead to alienation of people. Moreover, if people who know more about western philosophy know that the foundation of western philosophy has been greatly hit, western thinkers are seeking help from China's traditional culture. For the future society, it is bound to be a period of cultural revival in China, and the debate on "the legitimacy of China's philosophy" has come to an end. Therefore, as long as you have enough ability, the future world is bound to be ahead of the times-but it must be noted that you must have the ability!
