GENERAL PERSPECTIVES OF CAREER MANAGEMENT

The best way to predict the future is to build it. (Abraham Lincoln). Each of us, the moment one focuses its attention on a field, aspiring to have a certain profession, implicitly thinks about a certain profession. Career management integrates career planning and development and also, in a broader sense, implies multiple functional interdependences of planning the career individually, of planning the organizational career and the career development. Career management is a point of interest both for the employee and the employer, representing a planning and implementation process of targets, strategies and plans, which allow the organization to satisfy its needs of human resources and the people to fulfill their career purposes. There are individual differences regarding career orientation. Humans are not all the same, they differ when it comes to abilities, values, objectives and preferred activities. Although different from one another, people do have many things in common. Starting from this approach, specialists in this field have revealed modalities of classifying people, modalities that focus on the major models of resemblances and differences regarding career orientation.
