Career is a term defined by the Oxford
English Dictionary as an individual's "course or progress through life (or a
distinct portion of life)". It usually is considered to pertain to remunerative
work (and sometimes also formal education).
A career is mostly seen as a course of successive situations that make up a
person's occupation. One can have a sporting career or a musical career without
being a professional athlete or musician, but most frequently "career" in the
20th century referenced the series of jobs or positions by which one earned
one's money. It tended to look only at the past.
As the idea of personal choice and self direction picks up in the 21st century,
aided by the power of the Internet and the acceptance of people having multiple
kinds of work, the idea of a career is shifting from a closed set of
achievements, like a chronological résumé of past jobs, to a defined set of
pursuits looking forward. In its broadest sense, career refers to an
individual’s work and life roles over their lifespan.
In the relatively static societies before modernism, many workers would often
inherit or take up a single lifelong position (a place or role) in the
workforce, and the concept of an unfolding career had little or no meaning. With
the spread during the Enlightenment of the idea of progress and of the habits of
individualist self-betterment, careers became possible, if not expected.
Career Assessments are tests that come in a variety of forms and rely on both
quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Career Assessments can help
individuals identify and better articulate their unique interests, values, and
skills. Career counselors, executive coaches, career development centers, and
outplacement companies often administer career assessments to help individuals
focus their search on careers that closely match their unique personal profile.
Career counseling advisors assess people's interests, personality, values and
skills, and also help them explore career options and research graduate and
professional schools. Career counseling provides one-on-one or group
professional assistance in exploration and decision making tasks related to
choosing a major/occupation, transitioning into the world of work or further
professional training. The field is vast and includes career placement, career
planning, learning strategies and student development.
By the late 20th century a plethora of choices (especially in the range of
potential professions) and more widespread education had allowed it to become
fashionable to plan (or design) a career: in this respect the careers of the
career counsellor and of the career advisor have grown up. It is also not
uncommon for adults in the late 20th/early 21st centuries to have dual or
multiple careers, either sequentially or concurrently. Thus, professional
identities have become hyphenated or hybridized to reflect this shift in work
ethic. Economist Richard Florida notes this trend generally and more
specifically among the "creative class."
