4. What is career and job Career is a way of making a living, a profession or work which
may require certain levels of learning or training. It is a life-long
job, professional progress, a vocation or occupation that a
person goes into and therein makes a living.
A job, employment, work or occupation, is a person's role in
society. More specifically, a job is an activity, often regular
and often performed in exchange for payment. Many people
have multiple jobs. A person can begin a job by becoming an
employee, volunteering, starting a business, or becoming a
parent. Wikipedia
A Career has been defined as the sequence of a
person's experiences on different jobs over the period
of time. It is viewed as fundamentally a relationship
between one or more organizations and the individual.

5. Career
• Edwin B. Flippo,“ A career is a sequence of separate but related work activities that
provide continuity, order and meaning to a person’s life” .
• According to Garry Dessler, “The occupational positions a person has had over
many years”.
• Many of today's employees have high expectations about their jobs. There has
been a general increase in the concern of the quality of life. Workers expect more
from their jobs than just income.
• A further impetus to career planning is the need for organizations to make the
best possible use of their most valuable resources the people in a time of rapid
technological growth and change.

6. Career planning
Career Planning is a relatively new personnel
function. Established programs on
Career Planning are still rare except in larger or
more progressive organizations. Career
Planning aims at identifying personal skills,
interest, knowledge and other features; and
establishes specific plans to attain specific
goals

7. Career planning
• Career Planning aims at matching individual potential for
promotion and individual aspirations with organizational needs
and opportunities. Career Planning is making sure that the
organization has the right people with the right skills at the
right time. In particular it indicates what training and
development would be necessary for advancing in the
career altering the career path or staying in the current
position. Its focus is on future needs and opportunities and
removal of stagnation, obsolescence, dissatisfaction of the
employee.

8. Career development
• Career development refers to a set of programmes designed to match an
individual's needs, abilities, and career goals with current and future
opportunities in the organization. Since career development focuses on
future opportunities, it has essentially a long-term orientation.
• Career development, both as a concept and a concern is of recent origin.
The reason for this lack of concern regarding career development for a
long time has been the careless, unrealistic assumption about employees
functioning smoothly along the right lines, and the belief that the
employees guide themselves in their careers.
• Modern personnel administration has to be futuristic, it has to look
beyond the present tasks, since neither the requirements of the
organisation nor the attitudes and abilities of employees are constant

9. Career development
• Career development refers to set of programs designed to match an
individual’s needs, abilities, and career goals with current and future
opportunities in the organization. Where career plan sets career path for an
employee, career development ensures that the employee is well developed
before he or she moves up the next higher ladder in the hierarchy.
• Career development refers to a set of programmes designed to match an
individual’s needs, abilities, and career goals with current and future
opportunities in the organization. Since career development focuses on
future opportunities, it has essentially a long-term orientation.
• Career development differs from employee development through training
and development in terms of time perspective. While career development
has long-term orientation covering the entire work-life of an individual,
employee development has immediate and intermediate-term orientation.
