    Definitions
    1. A career may be defined as ‘a sequence of
    jobs/job placements that constitute what a
    person does for a living’.
    (eg, Public Sector)
    2. Career planning is the process of
    enhancing an employee’s future value.
    3. A career plan is an individual’s choice of
    occupation, organization and career
    path.
    Definitions
    4. According to Schermerborn, Hunt, and
    Osborn, ‘Career planning is a process of
    systematically matching career goals and
    individual capabilities with opportunities
    for their fulfillment’.
    Why do we need an effective Career
    Planning?
     Career planning encourages individuals to
    explore and gather information, which
    enables them to synthesize, gain
    competencies, make decisions, set goals
    and take action.
     It is a crucial phase of human resource
    development that helps the employees in
    making strategy for work-life balance.
     In the HRM science career is defined as
    the sequence of the person’s work-related
    experiences in one or several organizations
    (Baruch, 2004; Greenhaus and Callanan, 2006).
     Thus, according to the contemporary
    sense, career comprises not just vertical
    promotion to higher posts, but also any
    change of posts, responsibilities and the
    related learning seeking to acquire various
    meaningful work experiences.
    Need for Making an Effective
    Professional Career Plan
     Planning your career always keeps you in the
    direction in which you want your career to head.
    But sometimes it might so happen that after all
    the research and analysis, you might still be
    confused on taking the next step.
     In such a scenario you may consider the

    Career Planning for
    Development of Profession
    Three Steps:

    Step-1: Figure-out your Destination


    Step-2: Gap Analysis
    Step-3: Develop a Plan
    Flexibility of Career Plan
    There are Five Reasons to be Flexible about Your
    Career Plans
    You may feel pressured to plan out your
    whole life at the beginning of your career.
    Some people may have well-focused career
    goals early in life, but most of all don’t
    have; however they still find their way to the
    right job. It does not mean the end for both
    of the groups.
    Reasons for flexibility
    1. People change
    While a certain career may seem like a
    good fit for you now, think about how
    different you may be in five, ten or
    twenty years. As you get older, have
    more experiences and learn new things,
    your feelings about what you want to do
    may change. Many jobs will suit you and
    allow you to use your talents.
    Reasons for flexibility

    2. The world changes


    The world changes so fast that new
    careers appear all the time, while
    others become less common. Pay
    attention both to the changes in your
    interests and to developments in the
    career world.
    Reasons for flexibility
    3. There’s no one perfect career.
    When choosing a career, you’ll try to
    match your skills and interests with work
    in certain areas. There won’t be one
    perfect match — even jobs that sound
    ideal will probably involve some things
    you dislike. But many jobs will suit you
    and allow you to use your talents.
    Reasons for flexibility

    4. You can only plan so far ahead


    You can only plan with your available
    options and the areas you can pursue
    now, chance still plays a role. Keep an
    open mind, learn to tolerate some
    degree of uncertainty and watch for
    opportunity.
    Reasons for flexibility
    5. Satisfaction is key
    Many people feel pulled to a job that's
    familiar, popular or profitable. In the
    long run, however, people are generally
    happier and more successful if they
    choose a career that matches their
    interests and strengths.
    Take the time to develop your interests
    and then look for a career that will satisfy
    and fulfill you.
