Recently, a post titled "Top 10 Occupations Least Fired During the Financial Crisis" caught the attention of working professionals. The post listed 10 professions such as civil servants, lawyers, teachers, and doctors as currently the most stable professions. In the current economic crisis, being able to keep a job is undoubtedly the most important factor for job seekers, so stability has become the most attractive bargaining chip among all working conditions. Some people who used to have jobs but have now lost their jobs, some who are preparing to find new jobs, and college students who are about to graduate from various colleges and universities are all full of hope and hope to squeeze into these most stable professional teams. To use the old saying, they are holding on to the "iron rice bowl." But are these careers really right for you? Professional managers and human resources experts caution that this may not be the case. The results of blind job-hopping may not be as expected. Sophia, the human resources director of CCTV Securities Information Channel, told reporters that she has encountered such cases more than once. Job seekers originally had a good job, but then they saw the popularity of civil servants and resigned to take the civil service examination. But this kind of trouble was a waste of manpower and material resources, and a few years were gone. “Many people tend to make this mistake in career planning, thinking that a career that everyone is looking for must be a good career. But is this career really suitable for you? Many people don't think clearly about this issue. Like a lost person who doesn’t know which direction to go.” “The 10 most stable occupations are not necessarily safe in the eyes of professional managers. A headhunting director of a well-known foreign consulting company who wished to remain anonymous commented on the stability of these 10 professions. She believes that civil servants, teachers, community managers and other industries have not been greatly affected by the financial crisis and are relatively stable. However, career planners ranked fifth, finance ranked sixth, and technology product developers ranked eighth are not as stable as the rankings indicate. Take career planners as an example. There are not many employment opportunities in this industry. During the financial crisis, the entire recruitment industry will be affected, so career planners will certainly be affected as well. ； Let’s talk about finance. Under the impact of the financial crisis, some industries have shrunk, and financial personnel have also been laid off. Some of the recent job seekers are financial personnel. ； There are also technology product R&D personnel. In many industries, such as the communications industry and the electronics industry, parent companies have adopted a standstill strategy in R&D due to the financial crisis. Some have also experienced staff reductions, so R&D positions have been greatly affected. It can be seen that the situation mentioned in "the profession that is least likely to be fired" is not completely consistent with the actual situation. Every career has two sides: glory and hardship. Human resources expert Sophia said that college students who are about to graduate and people in the workplace who are planning to find a new job must understand that any career has two sides of hardship and glory. They are like two sides of a coin, which always complement each other. For example, in the profession of lawyers, according to market research, most people who worked as assistants in the first three years only had an income of less than 2,000 yuan per month. Those with particularly strong abilities will only increase their income after three to five years when they become formal lawyers. But more people cannot hold on in the first three years and have to switch careers as legal consultants in companies or do other jobs. Taking teachers as an example again, the assessment pressure of each school is extremely high. They must be ranked every year at the end of the year. The ranking is directly linked to the rewards and income. The teacher is responsible for each student's situation and communicates with every parent. Therefore, the teacher's work is very intense and is not as easy as everyone imagines. Previously, a school in Panyu recruited two teachers, and it is said that it attracted more than 3,000 people to sign up. It is still unknown whether the people who finally got the job after such a big competition will really like this job. There is also the most popular civil servant. Stability is one side, but low income, monotony and rigidity, and lack of personal space are all the other side. Be careful about getting lost in career direction. The most important thing is to be attracted by superficial reasons, so some people are prone to "get lost" when making career orientation. Former HP China President and Global Vice President Sun Zhenyao said: “I am not opposed to job-hopping, but job-hopping is by no means a solution to the problem, and the consequence of frequent job-hopping is that people feel that they have no loyalty at all, and they cannot work with peace of mind. ”Regarding the distress caused by work, Sun Zhenyao said: “You are unhappy because you don't know what you want. You don’t know what you want, so you don’t know what to pursue, and you don’t know what to pursue, so you get nothing. ” Human resources experts say that not knowing what you want is a fatal mistake, just like an athlete who wants to run a marathon but doesn't know where the end point is. Therefore, with the current financial crisis and difficult times, the most urgent thing is not to rush to change careers or jobs, but to patiently think about the direction and, if necessary, consult professionals.
