Answer:
Career building can be defined as a path or set of planned steps that will assist individuals in meeting their career goals. It is a way to manage one's career in order to achieve what may mean success. Career goals will vary from individual to individual. For someone in marketing, the ultimate career goal may mean a higher position in the management of a large regional area, while for another, it may mean aspiring to work for an innovative company.
Career building means being aware of what is important to an individual and focusing on that goal, and researching what it takes to get there. Career-builders should make sure to put their plans in writing and revisit their plans along the way. An example of a career plan may be a person who earns a degree in Human Resources and begins working in Talent Acquisition, recruiting positions for a financial company. A goal has been set to become a Vice President of Human Resources one day. In order to build a career, the individual determines the following path should be followed in order to reach the desired goal:
EXAMPLE: Career-building plan:
- Work in recruitment.
- Obtain Professional Human Resources certificate.
- Work as Human Resources Generalist.
- Build networking contacts.
- Work in Compensation and Benefits.
- Obtain Master's degree.
- Work as Human Resources Manager.
