This may work well in a few cases but not all. So, identifying all the options available to a student becomes really important as it makes easier for them to identify where they may be inclined towards. So, here is an opportunity to help students know their abilities better so that a student chooses a career that is in sync with his/her Aptitude, Interest and Personality. This way he/she is likely to be more productive and successful in life. So, instead of waiting for a child to go past High School and then decide what he/she should study further, we try to make them know it beforehand. The students of middle School <7th to 9th> are mature enough, nowadays to understand what their interests, preferences are, and hence are in a position to search for career options and decide what fits best for them. This will create better Academicians, professionals in the country not the ones who more often than not crib about the career options they are into or the ones who completely regret their choices or parents decision. A country like India...

...Five-Year Career Development Plan Five-Year Career Development Plan There is no rule that states that a career development plan has to be set out before you start with your career; in fact, it can occur at any point of your career. A very realistic plan is a five-year development plan. This period is appropriate to foresee any goal hindrances or complications and then develop yourself accordingly. Five years seems to be a reasonable time to accomplish any certain set of goals. While constructing the five-year plan for yourself make sure, you incorporate the essentials of self-assessment. Search yourself for what you wish and yearn for and them put them in your development strategy; justify it with the compensation you are offered Once you are done assessing yourself, you will also find out what you are best at – skill assessment. While determining your skills, you need to carve out your positives and negatives. Having a few too many negatives is not a drawback; what you need to analyze is how relevant is either to the job you do or the career you intend to pursue. You should bear in mind a couple of things; if you’ve risked pursuing a career that isn’t your choice then you will need to set out two options of careers that best fit your personality. This shall encourage you to bring out the best career development plan for complete five years. This five-year...

...the relationships I had with people at the company or through my extended network. The importance of relationships and communication also applies inside of organizations. No matter what type of business one works for they will be constantly interacting with other people, particularly if they are in a leadership position. Jordan’s theory of options describes the phenomenon of how, as a person ages their options gradually decrease and their responsibilities increase. This is particularly true from a career standpoint. Older individuals who have been working in a particular field for much of their lives have much less career mobility than younger people who have been working fewer years. Companies may be reluctant to hire older workers because they have a shorter potential future with the company than younger workers, even though they have more experience. Also, as one’s responsibilities grow (supporting children, paying a mortgage, etc.) one becomes more risk averse and seeks career stability, and thus has fewer choices. My uncle lost his job as...
