Career planning largely an individual's responsibility
If on one hand competition and cost economics are spreading insecurity in jobs and on the other hand competition and evolution of new industries which were nonexistent a couple of decades ago are opening a plethora of opportunities for the individuals to choose from. New opportunities and accompanying threats make the job markets extremely unpredictable. In such an uncertain environment, it is ultimately the responsibility of the individual to decide and make choices to pursue a desired career. Personal ambition coupled with emerging business trends are increasingly shaping the career choice of the people. An organization can at best support an individual’s career aspirations if it falls in line with its business goals. With this view of careers in today’s environment, an individual needs to change the way jobs have traditionally been looked at. A job is not merely a means of earning money, it must be viewed by the individuals as an opportunity for learning, so that when you are doing a job to fulfill you responsibility for the company, you are also strengthening your skills required to develop your career.
Career management thus is primarily an indivudal responsibility. Career planning and pursuing the desired career is a life long process for an individual, where he continuously learns about his purpose, personality, skills and interests. The process of career management by an individual involves rigour and focus at each step.
An individual must continuously review learning from his assignments and try to develop alternate perspectives of the job, which helps in enriching ones' experience. Also a periodic relook at the job and the company that one serves along with the opportunities available outside will definitely help an individual in giving boost to his career
