Career management is drawing attention these days as newer
career avenues are cropping up. Looking at the frequent
and unexpected changes in the economic and industrial scenario,
it is becoming really necessary for an individual to plan
for a good career. The private sector has affected people's
career path in many ways. Performance has become a dominant
factor in the appraisal mechanism. Availability of numerous
career options leading to different career destinations
through unusual career paths, emergence of Internet and
virtual offices, introduction of newer qualifications and
careers without proven track records, all such factors have
made career management unavoidable.
Career is a sequence of positions held by a person during
the course of his working lifetime. Career is a chain of
job-related activities. A career denotes a succession of
related jobs, arranged in a hierarchy of prestige, through
which individuals move in an orderly and predictable sequence.
It denotes upward movement and progression in professional
life and is the summation of all the jobs performed by a
person during his working life. It represents an organized
path taken by an individual across his professional lifetime.
Achievement of career goals provides a feeling of personal
accomplishment and fulfillment. A career is more than the
jobs or the sequence of jobs an individual holds over his
lifetime. It is an individually perceived sequence of attitudes
and behaviors associated with work-related experiences and
activities throughout an individual's life.
