GCDF Week 1 写在前面

随着当今科技和信息时代的发展，作为一名生涯规划师究竟面临什么样的挑战？在正式开课前与美国其他领域的生涯规划师讨论了自己的想法，原文如下：

I very much agree with others’ opinion. For me, the first notable point is similar as others’ sharing, which is that the change of technology brings to the world of work. Dana and Dani both talked about how the internet has changed the way of job search. “As jobs change, people need to make changes, too.” In this information technology era, there is nothing not changeable. We should help our clients to prepare ahead for this coming rapid and changing world. How to be a life-long learner with updating skills to adapt the world of work? How to sell yourself to, not only the employer but also your customers? How to build your personal brand? I think the idea of developing yourself as running a business should be embedded in our client’s mind to adapt the world proactively instead of pushing ourselves to catch up the world passively.

The second notable point for me is how to define CDF. I used to work with a lot of first-year students and sophomores. Sometimes they don’t know what career advisor/counselor is. I love how the definition of CDF here summarize our work tasks, “help individuals learn about themselves, learn about jobs, make career choices and plans, and then carry out those plans.” How clear, yet comprehensive! It covers everything we do in our work and clients will be very easy to understand. Also, it reminds me a big part of my role is to help clients carry out their plans. Sometimes, it’s easy to make a career plan, yet hard to execute it. And I’m very looking forward to learning some techniques to motivate and empower our clients.

重点抓取：

1. 时代在改变，人们如何工作，对工作的态度也在改变。没有一个专业和职业能够保证你一辈子工作的稳定，要想在新的时代有所作为就一定要做终生学习者，不断地去适应新的环境，新的技术，新的理念。一个很好的比喻就是把自己当作一个公司来运营，你有什么样的优势，能为他人提供什么，怎么将自己销售给他人和企业，怎么样为自己盈利。好好的经营个人品牌去积极的适应这个每分每秒都在改变的世界，要比以后被动的被快速发展的世界所抛弃的强。

2. 到底什么是Career Development Facilitator (CDF)? 简单说什么是生涯规划师？我们的分类好像有很多，名头也各不相同，职业教练、生涯咨询、职业辅导、生涯培训、职场培训……但归根到底，其实就是这么四个核心功能，帮助客户：认识自我，认识职业，做生涯决策并制定计划，监督执行完成计划。

说白了，工作这件事贯穿人的一辈子，你是想这八小时每天都开心充实有意义的度过，还是委曲求全别别扭扭度日如年的度过？生涯规划师的意义就在于助人有一个喜欢满足的职业，实现自我和专业的双重成长。
