Career planning book for biological science major

When we have no time to take care of time, time has already passed in a hurry. Have you made a career plan for yourself? This also means that you need to start writing career plans. Presumably, many people are worried about how to write a good career plan. The following is a book I collected about career planning of biological science major, for your reference only. Let's have a look.

Life Science Career Planning Book 1 I. Preface

When I first entered college, I was full of beautiful imagination and hope for college life. Through the vivid video in the career planning class and the teacher's in-depth explanation, I deeply realized the difficulty of college students' employment. Through the teacher's explanation, I think there are two reasons why college students are difficult to find jobs: first, the curriculum of the school is out of line with the requirements of enterprises; Another reason, which I think is more fundamental, is that most college students lack the consciousness of career planning, have not set clear career goals in universities, and have not cultivated and trained relevant professional abilities. Only after graduation did I find the gap with the requirements of the enterprise, but it was too late. Therefore, learning from the experience and lessons of seniors and sisters, freshmen should make a good plan for their future, set career goals and make clear the direction of their efforts. Only in this way can you successfully find a job that suits you after graduation.

Second, self-analysis.

Maybe it's because I was often alone at home when I was a child. I am introverted and I am not good at communicating with people. Therefore, I know fewer teachers, seniors and classmates from other colleges, and my network resources are not wide enough. Even my classmates rarely contact each other after separation, thus losing valuable network resources. It can be said that my introverted personality has greatly restricted the expansion of my network resources. But my introverted personality also makes me thoughtful and well-planned. Before doing something, I will anticipate all the possible consequences of it, weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to do it, make detailed plans in advance, and be orderly.

I am very independent. When I encounter difficulties, I will try to solve them myself first. In the process of solving problems, my ability has also been improved accordingly. But strong independence doesn't mean my team consciousness is weak. As a propaganda Committee member, I am responsible for organizing class order during the sports meeting; In English class, I organized a four-person group to participate in the dubbing competition and won the third prize in more than 20 groups. In the process of career planning, I organized seven students in our class to investigate the employment prospects of biology major and handed in a detailed report; Now, I am leading a team of seven people to carry out the summer practice of employment survey for biology majors. Through this series of activities, my team consciousness has been strengthened. No matter how strong a person's ability is, his achievements are always limited, and by integrating everyone's strength in a team, an individual can achieve better results with half the effort, which is the necessity of a team. At the same time, in these activities, I also exercised my ability of organization, coordination and communication, which laid a good foundation for my future career development.

As a propaganda committee member in my class, after one year's training, I can skillfully write a standardized class activity report and a summary of the recent situation. By designing and purchasing class flags and school uniforms before the sports meeting, my overall planning, organizational communication and decision-making ability have been greatly improved.

Reading is my greatest hobby. I have widely read science fiction, suspense, inspirational, biographies and various books. We can learn a lot of nutrients from the wisdom of our predecessors and make our life go more smoothly. Computer is one of my most interesting fields. I have been in contact with computers since primary school, and this enthusiasm has continued until now. Now I can skillfully use office software, intercept and edit videos, make simple animations, and skillfully use common software to solve problems in computer software. Compared with my peers, my computer application ability is very dominant. Animation is another big hobby of mine. Some people may say that cartoons are too naive, but in my opinion, most cartoons are designed for adults, in which profound philosophy and sincere dialogue can heal our inner wounds and give us the courage to move on. Moreover, it is very important for everyone to keep a pure and kind heart.

My learning ability is very strong, and my grades have been among the best in my class since primary school. I am also happy to accept new things. I pay close attention to network buzzwords, hot topics and the latest progress in the IT field, and try to apply them to my life to improve the status quo. I have a wide range of interests, such as music, dance, books, computers, management and research and development. Coupled with my strong learning ability, I believe that no matter which job I take in the future, I will make outstanding achievements with great enthusiasm.

Third, professional employment prospects analysis

As far as society as a whole is concerned:

After graduation, students majoring in biological sciences can engage in scientific research or teaching in scientific research institutions or institutions of higher learning, or engage in applied research, technology development, production management and administrative management related to biotechnology in enterprises, institutions and administrative departments in industries such as industry, medicine, food, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, environmental protection and gardening. Everything has two sides. Emerging industries, especially those with high requirements for professional skills and scientific and technological content, are becoming more and more powerful, and employment is becoming more and more popular. At the same time, their employment competition is becoming more and more fierce, and the "threshold" is relatively high. Graduation from undergraduate course is no longer an advantage in diploma. According to the latest data, more than 80% of graduates majoring in biological sciences choose to take postgraduate entrance examination for further study, because it is still difficult to find a good job with a professional counterpart after graduation. It is relatively easy to choose to work at the grassroots level, but the salary is too low, and the monthly income is less than 1000 yuan. Grassroots units are generally in small cities or even remote areas, considering that personal development may not be a good choice in the future. In addition, you choose to enter the research institutes or enterprises in the field of biology. The working environment and treatment of both are good, and the average monthly income can range from 3000 to 6000 yuan. Of course, there are higher ones, which also depends on the individual's ability to accumulate and innovate in biology.

(2) As far as the actual employment situation in our hospital is concerned:

After interviewing our teachers and seniors who have a clear direction for their future, the employment prospects of our biological science major are summarized as follows:

1. Dr. has a good employment prospect, mainly doing scientific research in the research room, but also working in the cosmetics and medical industries or as a nutritionist.

2. After graduation, most of those related to biology are engaged in sales: sales of cosmetics, instruments and biological products. This kind of job is easy to find, but it is unstable and poorly paid.

3. Village officials, community officers and civil servants also account for a large proportion of undergraduate graduates.

4. Potential occupations: such as research and development of health products, development of green energy, flower planting, farmhouse music, etc., are gradually emerging in big cities, and the development prospects in small and medium-sized cities are infinitely broad.

Fourth, the analysis of career choice.

1, my confusion

I am very interested in the study of genes and brain, but through interviews with teachers and seniors, I know that the employment situation of biology major is not very optimistic, and it is even more difficult to enter scientific research institutes to do research. Because I am very interested in computers, I also want to enter the IT industry to engage in management and marketing, but my understanding of the IT industry is not deep enough, and I know little about the talent needs of enterprises. I don't know what preparations should be made. So, now I am in a confused state.

2. Personal career choice and reasons for choice.

(1) Enter a scientific research institute to do genetic or brain research.

Advantages (S): Entering scientific research institutes often requires graduate studies and doctoral studies. Because of my strong learning ability, it is not a big problem to be admitted to the ideal school smoothly. Publishing a paper and making achievements in related fields is also one of the entry barriers. Because I am thoughtful and organized, it is not difficult to make some achievements under the guidance of my tutor. At the same time, I also have some contacts in scientific research institutes and universities. Considering the above aspects, I should have no problem getting into scientific research institutes.

Disadvantage (w): I don't like being too restrained, but in scientific research institutes, I have to do experiments in the laboratory every day, and my work is monotonous, leaving me little time for entertainment and enjoyment. Moreover, the quantity and quality of published papers are directly related to the evaluation of professional titles and the application for funds. In order to ensure the experiment, I may do some projects that I am not interested in but are easy to realize, and my creativity will be limited. Moreover, at present, fraud is prevalent in the academic field, and my down-to-earth and rigorous personality may not help me make achievements in this field.

Opportunity (O):2 1 century is the century of biological science, and the development prospect of biological specialty is very broad. At present, biology major is not very developed in China. In the future, I believe that the country will provide sufficient funds for research in the field of biology to ensure the smooth progress of experiments. At present, the research in the field of biology mainly focuses on the treatment of human diseases and the working mechanism of the human body, while genes are the fundamental way to treat many human diseases, and the research on the working mechanism of the brain is not very thorough. It is foreseeable that these two areas will be hot spots in the future.

Risk (t): China's biology major is not developed, and it lags far behind Europe and America in research equipment, attention and research methods, so it is difficult to make certain achievements in China.

(2) Enterprises entering the biological category.

Advantages (S): I have participated in many activities, and my communication, coordination and organization skills have been exercised, which is more in line with the requirements of enterprises in quality. Because of my strong learning ability, even if I am unfamiliar with my work, I can get started in a short time by consulting materials and asking my colleagues to meet the needs of the post. At the same time, I have a good grasp of the basic knowledge of biology. If I am engaged in research and development, the technical requirements can basically be met.

Disadvantage (w): I have weak communication skills, and communication with the examiner is a problem in the interview stage, so I may not be able to show my full strength. At present, there is no internship experience in biological enterprises, and the understanding of enterprise employment requirements may be biased, and some abilities cannot meet the requirements of enterprises.

Opportunity (O): With the country paying more attention to the bio-industry in the future, it is conceivable that bio-enterprises will also have a round of vigorous development in the future, the number of bio-enterprises will increase greatly, the demand for bio-talents will also increase rapidly, and the chances of finding suitable enterprises will be greater.

Risk (t): The employment prospect of biology major is improving. In the future, more graduates may turn their attention to biology. Graduates who have accumulated some work experience in previous years may also join the competition, and the competition for job hunting may still be fierce.

(3) Enter the IT industry to engage in management and marketing.

Biological science career planning book 2 i. professional overview

1. Training objective: This major trains senior specialized personnel in biological sciences who have basic theory, basic knowledge and strong experimental skills and can engage in scientific research, teaching and management in scientific research institutions, universities, enterprises and institutions.

2.

3. Main courses: animal biology, plant biology, microbiology, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology, molecular biology, ecology, etc.

4. Specialized experiments: animal biology experiment, plant biology experiment, microbiology experiment, cell biology experiment, genetics experiment, biochemistry experiment, molecular biology experiment, etc.

5. Internship: including field practice, 5 1 free paper net after graduation, etc. , usually from 10 to 20 weeks.

Second, the employment situation

1. Employment Status: A comprehensive study of population, food, environment, energy and other issues, as well as the emergence of various comprehensive solutions to these problems, will eventually develop a new and large-scale modern agriculture. It can be seen that the development of biology is closely related to the future of mankind. Therefore, all countries in the world attach great importance to it, especially western countries. Although the proportion of China's biological industry in the national economy is not very large, it has grown rapidly in recent years and its development momentum is fierce.

2. Employment prospects: The talents trained in this major are mainly engaged in occupations: animal scientists, food scientists and technicians, biologists, biochemists, microbiologists, zoologists and wildlife scholars, university biology teachers, university environmental science teachers, university health professional teachers, industrial production managers, nursery and greenhouse managers, and farm and fishery managers. 2 1 century is the century of biotechnology, and the talents engaged in biotechnology research and development will be highly valued by employers. In fact, this major began to heat up at the end of the 20th century, which may not be as hot as other popular majors at the beginning of the 20th century, but it will become hot at an alarming rate and occupy the forefront of scientific research.

3. Ability requirements: Willing to cooperate with others and showing a cordial and cooperative attitude in the work; Be able to inspire and maintain their desire to challenge their goals and try their best to complete the task; Able to accept criticism and handle work calmly and effectively under great pressure; Perform duties reliably, responsibly and credibly; Pay attention to details.

4. Overall experience: practitioners are required to have a lot of skills, knowledge and work experience. Many occupations require practitioners to have more than five years of work experience. For example, to become a surgeon, after completing a four-year college course, you have to go through five to seven years of professional study and internship before you can practice.

5. Education background: Employees should have at least a bachelor's degree. However, many occupations require practitioners to have a postgraduate diploma. For example, some only require a master's degree, while others require a doctor, a doctor of medicine or a doctor of law.

6. Prospect analysis: Due to the late start of biology in China, all kinds of equipment are still far from perfect compared with developed countries, and related biological companies are mainly concentrated in coastal areas. Therefore, biology is not optimistic about the employment prospects of other disciplines. In recent years, with the increase of graduates with bachelor degree or above in China, colleges and universities have adjusted their policies one after another, and the teachers recruited should have at least postgraduate degree or above. Biology-related scholars should also get a doctorate and work for many years. If you are really engaged in the above biological related work, the salary of agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery managers is about 2000 ~ 3000, the salary of university teachers is about 3000 ~ 4000, and the number of scholars is about 4000 ~ 6000 (in addition to scientific research expenses and relevant state subsidies, etc.). , depending on the research project).

Third, the gap between employment direction and career goals.

Most students majoring in this major choose to go abroad, because some biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical companies and companies with their own environmental management departments in developed countries provide people with a problem of cultivating study habits, which is also a process of cultivating operational ability. A feasible study and work plan should comprehensively consider the development level of each subject, fully grasp and effectively use its own work and rest rules, as well as the reasonable combination of study and work, and so on. It can be said that a good study and work plan is a small and complete systematic project. It can integrate all kinds of learning work together and do the best, thus greatly improving the efficiency of learning work. If you can finish the plan well every day and every week, then the success you expect is actually a natural result. The key factor in studying and working in a planned way is the determination and perseverance to carry out the plan, which is the biggest challenge to personal consciousness and self-control. Only those who have experienced such challenges have the chance to get success and generous gifts.

The plan for each stage must be specific and clear. When talking about the secret of his success, a famous marathon runner said, "I intentionally keep several places on my long-distance running route in mind, so whenever I finish a mileage, I keep the name of the next mileage in mind. Such a long route is divided into several small mileage in my mind, and all I need to do is try my best to finish these short mileage." The Japanese also advocate trying to improve a little every day. They believe that even if the promotion steps can't make you famous in the world, they will certainly help you make better achievements and gain a sense of accomplishment. Making a little progress every day is actually the best way to achieve your goal.

Fourth, summary.

From the perspective of career development process, career development has gone through different periods. One view is that the stages of career can be mainly divided into:

① Career preparation period: Career preparation period refers to the psychological, knowledge and skill preparation for career and waiting for employment opportunities after forming a clear career intention. Every job seeker has the desire and requirement to choose an ideal job. If he is fully prepared, he can quickly find his ideal job and smoothly enter the professional role.

(2) Career-choosing period: this is the period of actually choosing a career, and it is also the key period for potential workers to become real workers. Career choice is not only the process of individual choosing career, but also the process of social choosing workers. Only when individuals and society successfully combine and recognize each other can career choice be successful.

(3) Career adaptation period: job seekers have just set foot on their jobs, and there is an adaptation process to complete the role transformation from job seekers to professional workers. We should adapt to new roles, new working environment, working methods and interpersonal relationships as soon as possible.

(4) Career stability period: During this period, the individual's professional activity ability is in the most prosperous period, which is the golden period of creating performance and achieving career. Of course, job stability is relative. With the rapid development of science and technology and the accelerated flow of talents, it is normal for employers and professional posts to change.

⑤ Career ending period: Due to age or physical condition, professional activity ability and professional interest gradually weaken, thus ending career.

The career planning of college graduates mainly focuses on three stages: career preparation, career choice and career adaptation. College students should be fully prepared in material, psychological, knowledge, skills and other aspects of their career, and make reasonable and objective career choices based on various analysis and their own career anchors. We should have reasonable psychological expectations for the upcoming professional activities, including the nature of work, labor intensity, working hours, working methods, colleagues and the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and quickly adapt to become a successful professional.
