Career? I don't have one!
Everyone has a career. Career is no longer a term used to refer to specialists or someone climbing the corporate ladder. Changes in the way we work have brought about changes in the way work and life fit together. The term “career” has broadened to reflect these changes.
Your career now includes all of your life, work, learning and leisure activities. If you are still at school, playing in your local basketball team and working casually at the local supermarket you already have a career.
You build your career and develop skills as you accumulate life, work and learning experiences.
Career development, what's that?
Career development is a lifelong process which is unique to each person. It includes your learning and your work, paid and unpaid, your life roles and your leisure activities. Many factors contribute to your career development including your personal preferences and circumstances, your age and your stage of life. The community you live in and the wider economic and social environment also influence your learning and work opportunities and choices.
Career development is about managing your life, learning and your work.
No matter whether you are just starting work or changing career, adding skills and continuously learning throughout your working life, either on or off the job, helps you to move between different roles and workplaces. Knowing what you value in your work and your life as you move through your career will help you to manage your work in your life.
