Career Management

Career Management

Career management is the lifelong process of investing resources to achieve your career goals. Career management is not a singular event but a continuing process that is a necessity for adapting to the changing demands of the 21st Century economy.

Whether we are in the early phase of our work life or are a workforce veteran, we have probably heard the term career management. We have also probably heard that in the future we need to be responsible for our careers. What we may not have been told is what career management is and how we do it! Career management uses concepts similar to good financial management. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind is that a disciplined investment, made on a regular basis, yields a greater return. Although the tactics will vary, career management focuses on two key investment assets to manage throughout our working years, our personal lifelong learning and our network of relationships.
