Career Planning Development: Preparing For the Future
from:Every person, at some point in his or her life, leaves school to go into the work force. Many young people believe that is the point at which career planning development begins. For some people, yes it is. But for most people career planning development starts long before they graduate from high school. Most people have developed values and interests by the time they reach their mid-teens. By this time they have likes and dislikes, and have developed personality traits. People generally know by this age what sort of career they would like to have.
The average person spends most of his or her adult years engaged in some kind of work. Of course, it is important to earn a living. But it is also important that you do the kind of work you like to do. That is why career planning development is so important. It starts while you are still in high school, when you select courses that are going to help prepare you for what you want to do in the future. This is also an experimental period, when you can get first-hand experience trying out different subjects to see if you like them. In high school students can also consult with counselors who can explain what is involved in different kinds of work and what subjects a student has to take to prepare for a career in that field.
At this stage in their lives most young people have had some kind of part time employment. This is also very important for career planning development. The part time job you do after school and on weekends might not be the kind of work you want to do all your life, but it can be a big help to you in getting started on your desired career. This job gives you employment experience. It teaches you to be punctual. It is here that you get your first opportunity to demonstrate your willingness and ability to learn new skills. Your employer is the person who is going to write the letter of recommendation that says you are a dependable, trustworthy employee who works well with colleagues.
Career planning development means learning about the labor market, but even more importantly, it means learning about yourself. What are your skills and strengths? Do you present yourself in a positive manner? An employment manager will make the decision on whether or not to hire you based on what is in your resume, and how well you conduct yourself at an interview.
Knowing about the labor market means making yourself familiar with the world of work. Career planning development provides you with a system for finding a job. There is much more to it than looking in the want ads. Career planning development enables you to explore the “hidden” job market. It also leads you to training programs that will enable you to seek even higher positions in your field.
