How To Find A Suitable Career?

If we are looking for a means to make a living, we need to consider mainly our own ability, external available resources and the degree of earning the job.

This is indeed a very practical question to consider when choosing a career.

However, if you want your career to become a way to achieve your ideal of life, you want to satisfy your inner emotional needs.

Even from the point of view of obtaining economic benefits and social status from one occupation, the "three hundred and sixty elements, the professions and the professions" can be rewarded with the best of most professions.

The problem is that if you just blindly enter a current popular occupation, you may not be able to become an excellent person in the industry, and you may not get a handsome return.

Moreover, who can ensure that the current professional market will not change in the future? On the contrary, if you choose a career that suits your personality, abilities and interests, you will not only be easy to succeed, but also the work process itself will bring you a lot of satisfaction.

It can be said that it is a kind of happiness and happiness to be engaged in a career that is "successful".

How to find a career that is "good for yourself"? Psychologists believe that a person's personality is an important factor in deciding what a person is fit for.

Different professions have different requirements for them. Career guidance is to help a person to understand his career which is consistent with his own characteristics and make it easier for him to succeed.

Personality assessment is an essential component in career guidance.

Hollander's six personality theory and Carl Jung's personality theory are all theoretical guides that are often applied in career assessment.

For example, Hollander divides his personality into six types according to people's vocational interest: reality, research, art, society, management and routine.

Each type of personality has its main characteristics and suitable occupations, such as social type people who like social work, such as teachers, nurses, consultants, etc. they like to deal with people, and are enthusiastic, friendly, kind, patient and responsible.

A person's unique characteristics include not only personality, but also a person's ability, motivation and interest.

And so on.

In psychology, motivation is divided into external motivation and internal motivation.

If a person chooses a job because of his parents' expectations or for the economic income from his work, these are motivated by external motivation, that is to say, the reason why a person is engaged in a particular job is outside the work.

If a person chooses a job because he likes the content of the work and likes this way of work, these are the internal motivations. That is to say, the reason why a person is engaged in a job is the work itself.

Confucius said, "those who know are not as good as those who are good, but those who are good are not as good as those who are happy."

People who are motivated by internal motivation are the real "happy people" who are really interested in a job.

Where does the real interest come from? A genuine interest in a job, repeated pursuit and difficulty in giving up, often because some of the characteristics of this job conform to the needs of a person's innermost heart.

Some people are eager to share and alleviate the suffering of others, so they may choose.

Nurses, even counselors.

We may say that such people have lofty devotion in their work, but in fact, close to suffering and alleviating hardship will bring them meaning and satisfaction, not just sacrifice.

Some people are eager to pursue truth, so they may choose to engage in scientific research.

For them, finding the laws behind the changing world is a fascinating cause, because they aspire to justice and predictability in the world, so they are striving for it and do not feel it is a hard job.

If we see a person pursuing a career firmly and persistently in life, it is likely that this pursuit will suit him.

This need is not even fully realized.

But sometimes people can perceive some of these core values that can be called a person.

Therefore, reflecting on our values and growth experiences helps us find out what we really like.

Real interest can also come from "doing well".

We often see among students that some students prefer learning because of a good science, because they like learning better and develop great interest in this subject.

Compared with the previous source of interest, this kind of interest

More influenced by the current environment, it is easier to cultivate consciously.

The interest of the former source sometimes shows persistence rather than reason: a person may not be able to pursue his pursuits in the real opportunities, or a person's ability is not suitable, but this person persists in insisting that he should embark on this career path.

Occupation related personality, interest,

Such aspects usually affect each other, but they are not exactly the same.

If one wants to define his own position and find his own career path, he must consider these aspects comprehensively.

In particular, it is important to think deeply about their motives and interests. On the one hand, the relationship between personality and occupation is not rigid, and if some of them can really conform to their interests, some abilities can be rebuilt. On the other hand, if you insist on craving for an impossible job, you need to solve this knot through self reflection and psychological help.
