It just so happened that we all share certain stereotypes and delusions. Someone believes in various social myths in view of a predisposition of character or a narrow outlook, while someone perceives myths as quite real information, since no one has yet had time to refute them. What are the misconceptions about career in our society?
Instructions
Step 1
The very first myth that modern psychologists highlight is that in order to achieve a great position, you need to start from the very bottom. As a rule, people believe that in order to become a boss, they will have to go a long way from the bottom. But in today's world, where technology and knowledge rule, it is not so important to start from the bottom. On the contrary, there are special universities that teach leaders. There are also in-house programs according to which, if you have the potential, you can be sent to study as a leader. Now the main thing is to show your knowledge and skills in the workplace, as well as to show your desire to achieve more.
Step 2
Another myth about the benefits of creative search. Many believe that it is quite normal to rush for several years between different organizations, different positions and receive two or three completely unrelated education. But in reality, for the most part, this is just a myth. Nobody forbids you to be a multifaceted and creatively gifted person, but at the same time do not forget that your giftedness should fully provide for you. Throwing in life will be constant, including at work. But it is extremely important not just to try everything, but to determine for yourself the directions of your development. If you have a crisis now, this does not mean that you have to sit idly by, find for the first time just what you can do and how to make money, and try new things as you work in your free time.
Step 3
Many are now striving for freedom and entrepreneurship. There is a myth that working "for an uncle" is bad and will not bring you big money or personal growth, and it also takes time. But work experience in an organization is very useful and can be useful to everyone, even those who are not going to devote their whole life to this. First, you will understand how the organization works from the inside. Secondly, you will make useful contacts and connections. Third, you can save money. In parallel with work, you can draw up your business plan. In a good team, colleagues will always meet halfway and help with advice.
Step 4
One of the ridiculous, but existing myths is to find your destiny from above. Many believe that each person has one single goal and it is definitely realized through a career. In fact, this is not the case. In life, rarely does anyone find their purpose. Most often, we are given various abilities so that we can realize not one, but many goals and they are not limited to the workplace. If you are a talented artist, this does not mean that your goal is to paint for museums, you can realize yourself by becoming a designer of clothes or toys. Many famous philosophers were mathematicians, and novelists were lawyers.
Step 5
Many believe that career success accompanies only the dexterous and skillful. This statement is also wrong. Success can be a matter of chance. Sometimes you really need to be in the right place at the right time. So it is the result of great work. Many people fall, but get up and move on. And an easy career is actually the result of talent and perseverance, as well as self-confidence.
