Article with music recommendation: Cayman Islands-Kings Of Convenience

If you are reading my article, I hope you can play the music I recommend while you are reading; music has become my strength, and I hope to deliver this power to you as well.

I have been engaged in direct selling for 9 years, and I have learned business skills, customer service, recruiting and organizing teams, organizing large and small events, education training and operation management; and I have learned planning and proposal skills in the music industry, and I have also learned it because of my interest. Editing, beauty editing and digital marketing, etc., gradually became a freelancer, and stepped into the catering, health care, music, wedding industries, and also began to make digital transformation for new brands and individuals, including online course production, to Project co-ordination.

And my constant trouble is that I want to find a job that I like and enjoy doing it, so I start to re-evaluate my skills, preferences and values. Here is the homework I did for myself before seeking career counseling:

Above, I have some answers and directions in my mind, but I still encountered some uncertainties, insecurities, and inability to make decisions. Finally, I decided to seek professional "career counseling" to help me clarify and organize.

At that time, I found three different people to do "career consulting". In my past work experience, I also have experience in recruiting, organizing teams, and education and training, so I also have the following three types of development directions. , I also hope to understand the industry and function at the same time, and "how they consult"; of course, the most important thing is to use this to make decisions for myself in the next stage.

1. Human resource-based "career consulting"

In the senior grade of 104, I found a person who has more than 40 years of experience in human resources. Because of the epidemic situation, we adopted the method of video consultation, 1.5 hours / 800 yuan.

The advice provided by the human resource-based "career consulting" is more inclined to "how to develop your past work experience better". Tell you about the "human resources perspective" and "interview skills", and more on how to become an excellent interviewer and employee. This is really helpful for those who want to decide the outcome through work experience.

2. "Career Consultation" for Head Hunters

The consultation time is 1.5hr/6000 yuan, and the actual time is 2hrs.

The cost is indeed very expensive, and I really hesitated for a long time. At that time, I was very motivated to clarify the current situation. In addition, I saw a copy on the website that read, "Accompanying people in the workplace, finding the undiscovered self, and exploring unique needs and advantages. , consciously work and make choices, and regain the leadership of my career.” It fits the effect I want to achieve, so I still make an appointment for this trip.

The consultation process is conducted in the form of chat. During the process, 80% of the work and workplace skills are discussed, and 20% of the personal values. Point out the things you care about and extend the ability to talk and be good at, and prefer to provide the most abundant in the past and in line with the employment market. Development proposals.

For the following points, my neutral interpretation is mainly to review why I have not found a career consultation that suits me

a. Limited to the headhunter type, most of the customer groups they serve are in the technology industry, executive employees, and serving large-scale employers. Therefore, the perspective of "career consulting" is still biased towards the perspective of human resources. Career development” will be greater than “personal career development”.

b. Maybe he is good at teaching workshops rather than one-on-one consultation, because one-to-one consultation and workshop instructors require different competencies. But I don't have the actual number, and I don't know exactly whether he's good at teaching, not consulting.

c. In the copywriting, he calls himself a "career coach" , and my understanding of a coach is to take you to complete some things. Before the appointment, it was mentioned that there are opportunities to provide some possible job opportunities and the service of modifying resumes, so I do have high expectations for him, and I will also provide her with my resume and ask him to give some advice. However, there are only two sentences, and there are no more details and details than the human resource type. It is indeed not up to expectations, and there is also disappointment and heartache.

3. "Career Consultation" by Career Development Professionals

Appointment time 1.5hrs/3000 yuan, actual 2hrs. I've had two career counseling sessions, and while I'm running out of money, I have to say it's the best investment I've ever made.

I discovered Mrs. Li Yifang Fanny during the Human Resources Weekend. I learned the term "career development teacher" from her. At that time, she shared in it how she has multiple identities and skills and how to become a career development teacher. Ability development map" , write down the keywords related to career development division on a nine-square grid, it can be your ability and work experience, etc., I also wrote it down, so I found Li Yifang Fanny founded The Four Seasons Career Development Institute also made an appointment for Fanny's time.

First consultation:
Fanny quickly learned about the important moments of my life in the first hour, and then used the "Talented Character Card" to check my work skills for me. When using this card, Fanny invited me to choose 6 cards, it was me A job skill that I want to use for the rest of my life. (God~~~ I never thought about it like that) In many cards, I also saw

I'm good at it but I don't have the ability to use it, and the 6 selected are the work skills I always want to use.

Second consultation:
On the other hand, we talk about values and take stock of values through the "Dream Value Card", which includes six aspects: healthy life, spiritual vision, money capital, mental ability, interpersonal relationship and career tools. From many cards, choose 10 values. The element is that you will feel uncomfortable without these values in the next three years (the time limit can be adjusted).

From the perspective of cards, you can clearly count your thoughts, not just "chat", but "count and sort out values and skills" , and when choosing cards, there is a lot of self-rumination in it. Fanny's questioning ability is precise and accurate, and she can feel that she takes "my personal career development" as the starting point, not only your workplace skills, but also a comprehensive inventory of interests and values to guide and accompany yourself to inventory and clarify connections. down career direction.

If you are like me, you want to sort out your strengths from inventory skills, develop your strengths in the future, and live in line with your own values, I think career counseling is necessary, this is really a great counseling for me Experience, really solved everything I was struggling with.

Now I am also preparing to be admitted to the GCDF global career development division. The past work experience has cooperated with people in different industries/positions, and the project manager needs to comprehensively think about the overall situation, identify the core key, and effectively provide possibilities Just like career development specialists, they need to understand a person’s interests, abilities and values, help them discover their own keywords, and empower them to be able to face choices and decisions.

Before the end of 2020 this year, the task for myself is to provide 20 free consultations. If you have any needs, please contact me.

<2020/10/30 Announcement> At present, the quota of free career consultation is full. I have provided a 15-minute phone call for preliminary understanding. Join to understand career consultation: https://lin.ee/mCOZyuQ
