How to successfully change careers in career planning?
Myth 1: Where is the temptation of the purse, where does the money go?
Just looking at the salary figures, I gave up my hard work for many years and jumped into a strange career. This is not only unsafe, but also a trap. Experts have found that many people choose to change careers without thinking under the temptation of high salary, but they lack a comprehensive understanding of their new career in advance. After a period of time, they find that they are not suitable for new jobs at all, and high salary also requires many unexpected costs. At this time, they regretted it.
Expert opinion: although high salary is very tempting, it will not fall out of the sky. If your personality and ability can't adapt to the new business, high salary may just be a mirage. In short, whether you can turn or not, don't take the purse as the only measure.
Myth 2: follow the trend and squeeze into popular places.
When the internet is booming, many people in traditional industries are rushing to this land of feng shui, but what they didn't expect was that the turning point of the trend was confirmed so quickly. Those who abandoned the original industry and finally adapted to the network rules soon got into trouble in the bubble of the network economy. Hot industries or industries or occupations that are on the rise do have more opportunities and more room for personal development, but even so, not everyone can seek gold in hot industries, blindly follow the trend and worship hot industries, and it is not advisable to crowd wherever they are hot.
Expert opinion: There are losers in the booming industry, and winners in the stagnant industry. There may be more opportunities for the development of hot business, but there may not be room for you. What suits you best is the best.
Myth 3: The mountain climbs higher.
Most people will do something and complain about something. They are dissatisfied with their professional status and always feel that the world of others is wider than their own. Driven by the high motivation to look at this mountain and that mountain, many people change careers frequently, and they can't last long in each position. In the end, they seem to have accumulated rich experience and become generalists, but in fact they only dabble in every profession and have no expertise in skills.
Expert opinion: Just like job-hopping, there is inertia in changing careers. Many people often fall into a vicious circle of dissatisfaction with changing careers or dissatisfaction with continuing to change careers, and may eventually accomplish nothing. Frequent turnover is not conducive to the accumulation of personal core competitiveness and career development.
Myth 4: Get quick success and instant benefit. Which position is the easiest to transfer to?
People who have money or want to get out of their career difficulties by changing careers often place too high expectations on changing careers. For example, in a new industry, the annual salary doubles within one year and becomes the general manager within three years. This idea is understandable, but it should be noted that when you give up your original career accumulation and move to the new world, you need to go through an adaptation period. In this process, besides adapting to the new job, the decrease of income and position is inevitable. Many people are so eager for quick success and instant benefit that they can't stand loneliness before they get through the adaptation period.
Expert opinion: Changing careers is nothing more than a simple job-hopping. It has a process of restarting, and it has to bear many risks such as job decline and salary reduction. But as long as you have a correct direction, this phenomenon is only temporary, and it is only a matter of time before you surpass your old position and salary. On the contrary, the price of giving up halfway is painful, because if you want to return to your original industry, it is hard to say whether you can have a job vacancy or get your original salary. 12
