Recently a lecture preparations for the career, and a lot of friends, some deep feelings. Chinese people in multinational corporations, mostly technical background. Many people busy all my life to find the straight to their own worlds is no promising. Long career, crisis, stream, a bit not note will be kicked out the game scene. Topic of today, and everyone to discuss professional skills outside of the "skills".

1. Adding value

Professional work, you are goods. Can't create value will be eliminated. Technology and knowledge itself is not a value; Provide solutions and create products and services is the ultimate value. A few simple examples explain the value distribution:

Obtained data, < < analysis data comprehensive conclusion < < project management strategies

Whining, < < points out key problems implementation < implementation results

, read literature review < < < insight into industry direction and Daniel together to promote the development of industry

Long-term career planning to continue efforts in the direction of high value. Short-term planning project of high priority value, time allocation tilt to high-value work forever.

Experts are 10000 hours, you don't learn three years later will regret. Not only should learn their own professional, and out of the comfortzone, interdisciplinary study, cross-industry knowledge, theory and tools. Must use job opportunities, to the boss asked to learn actively.

If the gains experience points and work schedule has conflict, always sacrifice their progress. Work is piling up, you do not over the top natural someone, but the cost of your time is more precious. Boss/company does not allow you to learn, continue to repeat low value of work do you do, or learn something, you need to consider anywhere.

2. Proving inconclusive

Are fighting for freedom and power. You don't, people will not surrender to you. "Soft persimmon" can only be constant pressure. You don't work to control their own, others will only to you what to do. You don't set priorities, someone else will come to help you. You don't work of defending yourself, others will choose wulitou criticizing you. Don't you asked the boss for independence, requests are made, can only be "liu dou" forever.

Out of the door, you will be on behalf of your group/department. Internal contradictions internal to solve problems to outside. Teamplay not bonhomie. Someone to grab, grab your idea, grab your site, you don't charge, is the ringleader. Once a label, you will never enter the other team.

Fight every day, of course, will become cynical "smelly" or "to protect the offspring". Is not the key contradictions, stand, then. There are no eternal enemies, only permanent interests. In the face of common interests, to put aside their differences.

More important is to use your skills and knowledge, constantly open up new areas. Stood motionless, will eventually be skipped. There's a new field, you will want more resources, cultivate your own team. Of course should not only have the charge of team, also should have whilst.

3. To convince a fool

Lay leadership expert is the norm. Leadership don't understand the technical details, you will be to convince dilettante way to present your plan clearly. Lay the biggest characteristic is to have unrealistic expectations, I do not know the process of a heavy price. Your job is to education leadership/team, set up correct expectations, evaluate the consumption of resources to provide the final product. Said don't understand, to convince, isn't you don't know, just you don't want to see. Have called stupid boss kung fu, is inferior to think more about how to sell your ideas.

You really cow, natural there will be someone to buy your account. You really are experts, where will shine.

4. The construction network

The bigger the circle, the greater the energy. Circle is not a nod to say hello, micro believe some people praise, but people need to exchange resources with you. As the first said, self-improvement, circle will toward you. Also to inject energy into the circle. You work is not in the circle, you will never is peripheral. You can't do the job of the circle beautiful, circles have a chance to won't think of you in the future.

Learn to use the platform of the company and the opportunity to expand your circle of, the company's patented products with does not walk, but follow you.

5. Dress For Success

Americans value appearance: feather hair, wrinkled t-shirts, mouth halitosis, know only the hard to play with mobile phones, there are not the people. Investment suit/shirt/tie/shoes/watches, for your career is absolutely rewarding. Back a few English jokes at a crucial moment open.
