naturally into each other, but sometimes there will be a
complete change of direction. And this is how it is going

in jobs that didn’t exist when we were planning our
careers.

Steps to help you build a career

To start up with,what is a career?
A career is now viewed as a journey through learning,
work and other aspects of life. It embraces all the roles
you have at different stages of life, including education,
training, and work.

It is reported that 40% of current jobs did not exist
when the person doing that job now was at school! So
how can you plan for a career that may not exist in that
form yet? The answer is that you must develop yourself
and your career skills to keep current with career
opportunities? 
The concept of a job for life is no longer relevant. Young
people now are likely to experience five to eight major
career changes in their lives in a variety of industry
sectors. They will also be experiencing more fluid forms
of working with increasing casual, contract and part-
time work options.
A key aspect of career management is the ability to
research opportunities and then to make career choices.
Career management skills will be vital.

Entrepreneur
When you are starting a new business, there are literally
hundreds of things you need to consider- office space or
work from home, bank account, loan or overdraft, do you
need a website, will your product sell, is it the right
product, your marketing campaign, do you need staff,
what are the legal implications if you employ staff…..and
so on.
Which issue should you address first? What if you forget
something important? How should you structure the
business?
What did other people do, what problems did they have,
how did they solve them? We look at the common issues
faced by people in this situation and offer some advice
for you on the most important issues to address.
Is an entrepreneurial route the way forward for you?
What skills do you need? How does it differ from working
for someone else?
We take a look at the characteristics of entrepreneurs-
what is it that sets them apart and makes them
successful? And how can you be 
successful in business on your own.
We consider the skills, attributes and behaviours of
entrepreneurs, so that you can decide if this is the
direction for you.

The Interview (true story)


At the interview to fill the vacancy of a

Field Engineer in a
multinational oil company, two
competent and qualified
Engineers were
shortlisted and the company was to decide on who to retain
and who to
show the red card.
They asked them If they could drive and
they both answered
in the affirmative even though only one of them
could drive.
The Head of the Human Resources
spearheading the interview
cum pruning session then handed his car
keys to them to prove their
driving skills within the premises.
The over-confident applicant collected
the car key, opened
the car,
switched on the ignition, lighted it up, sped off, swirled,
swerved and
made some stunts on wheels before
parking the car on the
same spot to
the seeming rousing applause and mischievously knowing
smile of the
interviewers.
The other applicant who could not drive
collected the key all
the same, opened the car, opened the
bonnet, checked the engine
oil
level, the brake fluid level, the gear oil
level and the water in
the radiator level.
As he closed the bonnet, the chief
interviewer walked towards
him and
said: "Don't bother driving, you've just
been hired!" PRECAUTION is more powerful than
EXPERTISE!
The race is not for the swiftest, but to the
wise!
Don't be brash and over-confident.
Learn the ropes and never back off from giving your best
even
If you
don't possess what it takes. That
someone is doing it fast
doesn't mean
he is doing it right! Direction is more important than speed!
Exercise caution and
take
precaution in the journey of life - that's
how to be recruited
into the employment of success
