Before we go to the brief, it is important to understand the fact what is career
planning. Career planning is a task that, every individuals does to achieve their
motto. Everyone set up their mind to reach to their target after a certain period, but
to reach this target every individual plan their path or way and goes though a
systematic way to meet this target. Generally, career word stands to the meaning of
occupation or a profession, that everyone undertakes for a long period of time and
to get benefit from it. This planning is the string of a particular job that individuals
held up throughout their working life. For instance; marketing profession. Career
planning is combined of some actions and activities that everyone follows and
undertake to achieve their individual goals. It is an ongoing process where
individuals delve into their interest as well as abilities. Along that, plan the goals
strategically that includes designing, following and performing step by step. In a
simple way it can be described as a vision. Career planning consists of five steps as
following;

Career plays an important role in individual’s life, which is going to cover the largest
part of life, when a person is fully satisfied with his life and the satisfied with his job
that they are doing; that time they realize that they achieved their motto that they
planned well. Not only planning a career plan is everything, it is not going to roll by
it’s self, but also following the own plan and performing by step by step can achieve
the target. For example; it is easy to make a career plan, that one guy will be a HR
manager of a well known company alike: GOOGLE, but the person has to make
themselves ready and prepare to be on the position that they dreamed. It is quite
easy to make a dream of career but hard to be on the position. Without any hard
work and strategy, it is quite impossible to achieve anything in life. There is a saying’
“life is not a bed of roses’.
For me as an individual, I am having my own dream to see myself in a management
sector (HR Manager). But, in the begging of my carrier plan; it is important to know
what is this career all about, future of this career. What sorts of opportunity and
obstacles are involved in this career and how to pass the obstacles using the
opportunities?
Basically, human resource is all about developing the employees, so they can
become more valuable and well trained. Not only this, it also consists of; job analysis,
planning of personal needs, choosing the right person for the right position,
managing salaries, arranging benefits and enticement.
HR management job is a set of interrelated activities and duties that a manager
should perform. This duties and activities is consisting of various task and
responsibilities. There are few and various stages of this job role, including; Job
analysis, HR planning, recruitment, selection, placement and Induction. Firstly, job
analysis is a process that is normally use to gather the data about the job role,
responsibilities and the environment of that job, as it was mentioned before that job
analysis is made up with several stages those are known as; job positioning,
description of job and job worth (education, previous experience). Afterwards
secondly comes HR planning, this stage is all about allocation people for specific
place, to find out which department need more staff or which department of staff
need more training and development. Afterwards, third step is recruitment, in this
stage HR manager’s role is to recruit more people where it’s needed. It’s not only just
recruiting people but also choosing the best person for that specific role. Afterwards
training and induction. After choosing the right person for the organization,
managers must train the staff where they need to develop themselves and giving

them a brief about the company. Thus employee get an overview idea about the
organization and know about their job that what they have to do in their job role. HR
management job roles depend on organization, but there is some job roles similar in
every sectors, those are;
 Compensation and Benefit Manager
 Training and Development Specialist
 Employment, recruitment and placement specialist
 HR information System Analysis (HRIS)
Above are the job roles that as a HR manager can perform. But in this job sector as a
HR manager anyone can easily boost up their dream because this sector is an up
growing and well demanded sector.
In last few years, Vietnam has become and attractive destination for all sorts of
business. In fact, their Labour market is up growing and they are recruiting more HR
skilled managers, below here is an attachment of the recruitment;

In England, recently National career service a statistics of HR managers job

job field will be more demanding than now, even though they published a statistic
data on it:

It seems quite easy to set up a career plan as a HR manager but this career is full of
obstacles and hard to achieve the estimated goal. However, every individual should
choose the best option in term of choosing their career that what they want to se
themselves after finishing their graduation. Career planning has few flow and stages,
from my own perspective view every individual might follow this chart;
Every organization require a well qualified person who can be useful for their
company or organization. Even though some people look for graduate students with
experience. But, every company/organization is different then other, so with having
an experience employee must not do the same job because organization culture
might be different from each other. This era is 21st
century and it is much more
challenging in term of management. Because no company doesn’t want to make loss
and doesn’t want to choose any person who might not get beneficial for their

organization. So in this challenging market, there might be a lot of challenges,
obstacles but we should face the reality to compete the reality.
For all the students who are planning to wok as a HR manager, for them first I will
suggest them to finish their graduation with good grades and make their plan for
future career and to be aware about that what they want to do in their life and being
able to compare and contrast in the career. Mare sure to mundane yourself with
different variety of career alternative that exist. Having a general idea and experience
on some specific skills, alike; Computer, Data analysis, analyzing information,
communication skills, good leadership skill. When still now, students are doing their
graduation, on the same time attending some workshop, join campus activities,
joining cultural activities. If anyone get chance than it is better to het and
INTERNSHIP, that helps a lot term of applying for a job, because most of the
organization look for someone with experience. Engage on networking; get to know
each other faculty members, staff members, Linkden, facebook, and other various
social media. Here is a chart as following, if anyone follow that then anyone can
easily make their career plan easily;

The career plan that above is a brief plan for anyone who is planning their career,
because firstly people should know their own value that what they are capable for
and what skills they have and how they can use it. Secondly, learning about own self,
to know their own skills and ability and able to cope with difficulties. Thirdly comes
identifying own skills, we are our own career developer and we should know our own
skills and weak point, after knowing this it is better for us to improve our weakness
and having more options for our career planning. There is a saying “If you plan to
fail, you fail to plan”. Afterwards, having all ideas and experience, we should know
better what options there are available for our chosen career. What are opportunities
involved in the career and what can be the obstacles. Having more idea about career
settled goal. As a student everyone has their own major, students who wants to join
HR department, they should choose their major same like that and link it with the
career.
