Document Summary
Careers are the sum of our job experiences over time: careers involve decisions about personal interests, aptitudes, educational preparation, and the match of our individual competencies to the needs of particular organizations. This employment match is based on the knowledge, sensitivity, skills, and values of both the individual and the employing organization. Self-analysis helps generate awareness of influences for our occupational choices and can be used to develop important criteria for career planning. Individuals will assume increasing responsibility for career and job transitions in the twenty-first century: boundary-less careers include contracting and the new concept of free agency and entrepreneurial activity. Employment match; when individual competencies match organization competencies and the individual becomes a working member of the organization. Internal communication careers; work within an organization to assist management in employee and management communication, coordinate a variety of training activities, coordinate internal communication media, facilitate team building, and develop numerous other communication activities.
