关于成功职场转型的建议
A recipe for a successful career transformation
当前许多职场新人,即使工作几年之后仍然无法完美匹配工作内容和自我需求。他们有些人受制于经济压力、自我怀疑、准备不足,或是不匹配的职场体验;另一些则是因为企业中的“隐形天花板”和官僚制度、局限的自身与职业成长机会而感到束手无策。普华永道于2011年发布的“Millennials at Work”研究报告指出百分之五十的90后将个人成长和发展放在第一位,而非薪酬和待遇。
It is not uncommon for young professionals in their first few years to realize that their ‘job’ may not be answering what they need or desire. Some might be bogged down with financial burden, self-doubt, a sense of unpreparedness or misfit. Others might feel powerless because of corporate glass ceilings, bureaucracy, or limited personal and professional growth opportunities. In fact, PwC Millennials at Work showed that over 50% of millennials put growth and development first, before pay or benefits.
对于在职业发展十字路口摇摆不定的人,最大的苦恼来自于如何寻找到合适的职业以真正满足他们对个人成长、学习进步和自我实现的需求。幸运的是,在这个充满变化和机遇的世界中,职场转型仍是职场受困的年轻人伸手能及的最佳出路。那么如何才能成功做到职场转型呢?
For those that find themselves at such a crossroad, finding a ‘career’ that satisfies their need for growth, learning and self-fulfilment may seem just out of their reach. Fortunately, in a world of endless change and possibilities, career transformation is an option within reach of most.
职场转型关乎一个人对自我认知的转变和个人潜能的释放,更决定一个人对自己未来的主导。为了避免转型当中徒劳无功,需要投入大量时间和努力来制定个性化的发展计划,更需要从他人处获取指导和建议。有了完善的准备,任何人都有机会打破“隐形的天花板”,脱离职业不匹配的困境,跨越职业技能缺失的鸿沟。
With the right preparation, anyone can break or circumvent glass ceilings, value mismatch and skill gaps. Career transformation is about realizing a personal vision of change, unleashing potential and taking ownership of one’s future. With such high stakes, it is worth putting the time and effort to plan out a personal development strategy, integrating guidance and advice from others.
职业转型需要从清晰的自我认知开始。自我认知要求对比自身技能程度,同时要求鼓起勇气来内省自己,找出内心焦虑和动力的来源 。自我认知是建立自身价值的核心,也是架构深刻职业规划的基石。
Career transformation strategy starts from a deep understanding of the self. This is as much about skills benchmarking as it is about holding up a mirror and building the courage to explore sources of anxiety and drivers of energy. This self-finding journey is at the core of developing a personal purpose and vision and the foundation of establishing a meaningful career.
自我转型的过程中,需要认真审视并充分理解现有的机会。这意味着去了解不同行业、不同职能、和职业发展途径。同时,也意味着去理解当下全球范围内所经历的变革和大趋势,以及这些趋势所引领的未来。通过这样的自我审视和外部观察,便有望进一步探索出与自身相符且可行的职业规划。
An important stop in this journey is scoping options and developing a good understanding of the opportunities that are available. This means learning about different industries, functions and career paths. It is also about understanding current megatrends that govern the present world, and the future they may bring. Equipped with external and internal perspectives, exploring fit and creating an ideal career path might get closer in view.
自我转型中同样重要的是采取实际行动,去获取必要技能将自身特长与市场需求相匹配,如专业技能,或是领导力等软实力,抑或是两者兼具。当然,年轻人如果不能对自身、外在环境具备清晰认识,则可能在采取行动的过程中事倍功半,无法在战略层面上拓展自我实力并提升职场竞争力。
Equally important is to take action and obtain needed skills to bridge the gap between where a person is and the future one desires. These can be technical skills or leadership skills or both. Doing this on the back of a good understanding of self and the environment will spare ambitious career seekers the time and effort wasted in taking on courses and learning that don’t strategically enhance their career or satisfies their development time.
闭门造车无法帮助成功转型。所以积极展示进步成果,主动认识他人,宣传自身技能,挑战自我极限异常重要。商业领域的社交技能是一项不容忽视的技巧,优良的商务社交技巧能在无形中带来更多机会,而这一技巧的缺失也可能意味着与机遇失之交臂。具备这一技巧之后,你需要将社交建立在一个能够聚贤纳才的优质平台上,以最优化你的社交价值。
No career can be transformed in isolation; without meeting people, promoting capabilities, pushing the limits and putting oneself ‘out there’. Networking is a skill that requires as much as attention as any other, and often, can make it or break an opportunity. It is most beneficial when done smartly, on platforms that bring relevant influential people closer together.
职场转型的过程就如同人生的转型,两者都需要投入大量时间和精力。然而,一旦你能掌握其中诀窍,则将受益无穷、事半功倍。
Starting a career transformation journey is synonymous with life transformation, and it takes a significant time investment, yet, when done strategically, it is extremely satisfying.
