Personal Development and
S
Career Management
Personal development can be defined as activities that improve
awareness and identity, develop your talents and potential, and build
human capital. In other words, personal development is doing things
that improve you and the world around you. Personal development can
include your hobbies, as well as books
S you read. In this lesson, we're
going to explore ideas for personal development that you can
implement.
Career Managements a life-long process of
investing resources to accomplish your future
career goals. It is a continuing process that
allows you to adapt to the changing demands of
our lives. The career management process
S
embraces various concepts:
Self-awareness
Career development planning/career
exploration
Life-long learning
Career Development
Career is defined as a profession for
which one is being trained and
S
undertaken as a permanent calling.
One’s career choice is not just a one-
shot deal.
Career development
• The process of choosing a career,
improving your skills, and advancing
S
along a career path. It's a lifelong
process of learning and decision-
making that brings you closer to your
ideal job, skillset, and lifestyle.
Factors and Barriers
S
That Influence Career
Development
1. Personal Characteristics:
Personality type, interests, aptitudes, and
work-related values make all of us who we
are. These personal characteristics play a
S
significant role in career development since
they influence which occupations we find
satisfying, as well as the types of work
environments in which we will succeed.
2. Financial Resources: Pursuing certain
career options can be costly. If you choose
an occupation, for example, that requires
S
you to attend college, you may be limited
by your ability to pay for it. You could end
up altering your plans.
3. Financial Obligations: You may
find yourself working in a job or
occupation just for the paycheck. It lets
you keep up with your bills but doesn't
S
satisfy you in any other way. You would
like to go after other opportunities but
feel inhibited by your financial
obligations such as a mortgage, rent,
student loans, or even your children's
college tuition.
4. Physical, Mental, and Emotional
Impairments: Some of us are better suited
to some careers than we are to others due
to our physical and mental abilities, and
limitations. For example, you may want to
become a doctor but don't have the
intellectual ability to get into medical school.
5. Lack of Support from Family: Going
after a hard-to-achieve goal is even more
difficult if your loved ones aren't behind
you. You have a greater chance of
succeeding if you can5. convince them to
become your cheerleaders but if that is
unlikely to happen, you may have to find
motivation from other people in your life.
6. Age: Our age, or our perception of it, can
hinder us in our career development. During a
large part of our lives, we may worry about
being too young to pursue a particular path,
advance in our careers, or make a career
change, and for another lengthy stretch, we
fret about being too old to do those things.
Instead of focusing on your age, concentrate
on your abilities and how motivated you are.
7. Family Obligations: An individual's
career development may stall if he or
she takes time off from work to take
care of children or elderly parents. He
or she has several options including
getting outside help to provide
childcare or eldercare if the individual
desires it.
FOUR CATEGORIES
OF CAREER
DEVELOPMENT
THEORIES
a. Trait factors - were skills,
values, interests, and
personality characteristics are
analyzed and matched with
job factors or an occupational
profile.
b. Psychological or personality
categories - realistic, investigative,
social, conventional, enterprising, and
artistic are usually found in all persons
but there are more categories that are
dominant than the others. Confusion
happens when a person has mixed
dominant types.
c. Decision based on the theory
of self-efficacy states that the
belief in one’s capacity to plan,
organize and execute a set of
actions is tied up to motivation,
which is an important driver in
one’s career development.
d. Developmental or life
span or life-space theory -
believes that humans are in
constant flux and go through
their lives doing new things
while changing roles in the
process.
