In the first module, we reviewed Franklin’s (2014) definition of career: “The full expression of
who you are and how you want to be in the world. And it keeps expanding as it naturally goes
through cycles of stability and change” (p.456). Now that you’ve had a chance to consider this
definition of career, it’s time for you to put some thought into your definition of Career and
Career Management.
What does the word career mean to you?
First and foremost, a job enables you to grow and apply your knowledge and abilities to realise
your potential and accomplish your personal and professional goals. You get freedom and
financial security as well as a feeling of meaning and success from it. A career can also offer
chances for development, education, and networking, all of which can help you establish a
solid professional identity and pave the way for other opportunities. Finally, having a
successful profession may make you feel happy, fulfilled, and proud of your accomplishments.
When you think of career management, what comes to mind? What elements do you think will
be important to you as you manage your career over your lifetime?
Career management is the process of planning and implementing strategies to help individuals
achieve their professionals goals. When I think about career management, it reminds me of
setting my goals according to SMART goals because they are ment to manage your goals and
helps you to grow in correct direction.Some of the important elements of career management
are motivation, improving performance and planning.
