The interaction of work roles and other life roles over a person’s life span including both paid and unpaid work in an individual's life. People create career patterns as they make decisions about education , work, family and other roles. (Handbook on counselling by UNESCO).
The following definitions are important to an understanding of career as a concept.
A Job is a paid position requiring a group of specific attributes and skills that enable a person to perform tasks in an organization. either part-time or full-time for a short or long duration.
An Occupation is defined as a group of similar jobs found in different industries or organizations.
A career is the sequence and variety of occupations (paid and unpaid) which one undertakes throughout a lifetime. More broadly, career includes life roles, leisure activities, learning and work.
Career Development is the process of managing life, learning and work over the lifespan.
Career Guidance is an inclusive term that has been used to describe a range of interventions including career education and counseling that help people to move from a general understanding of life and work to a specific understanding of the realistic life, learning and work options that are open to them. Career guidance is often thought to incorporate career information, career education and career counselling.
Understanding of the term career
Career can be defined as the evolving sequence of a person's work experiences overtime each person has only one career. If one says that he had three different careers, then he probably means he has worked in three different occupations or industries. But their experiences in these three different situations are all part of the same career.
The phrase work experiences courses on employment but not confine careers to paid work. unclear activities outside employment involve experiences that are relevant to our careers therefore depends not only on individual preferences and choices but also on the opportunities structures that provide the work that people do.
Career is a form of self expression, the expression of one's feelings thoughts etc.
People are different with different characteristics. Therefore each person is suited to different occupations.Each occupation has its own profile characteristics that indicate what kind of people are suited to it.
With respect to individual people there is a set of variables labelled "abilities". These are people’s capacities and aptitudes relevant to specific skills that may be required to do a job.
There is also a set of variables labeled as "values" that express outcomes the individual might seek to obtain from the job. Commercial values may be achievement, comfort, safety, and autonomy.
Careers as a journey.It is not surprising that people think of careers in terms of progression and journey but they tend also to say what kind of journey as- a train journey, a hard road, a roller coaster side, an expedition, flying, stuck etc...
Thus people think of their careers as having movement as getting them from place to place .
Thus people think of their careers as having movement as getting them from place to place .
Careers as inheritance from parents, or family.This refers to careers that continue the tradition of profession that their family members have been following for years together.
Careers have economic values.In organizations, employees are often seen as resources, that is, human resources to be used to achieve organizational goals.
A career story is a personal moving perspective on our working life including the objective facts and the subjective emotions, attitudes and goals of our career. This career notation can be used as a review for one's own self where a person from time to time can analyze the job satisfaction. To take careers as a story enables us to establish our identify and find meaning in what we do, make retrospective sense of our experience and reflect on the future as story telling is a universal, fundamental and often very productive human experience.

How to choose a career?
Selection of a suitable career needs meticulous care, thought and proper planning, keeping in mind one's goals, and a clear idea of the expectations from that career. Before deciding on the choice of a career, you should have a clear notion of your interest, aptitude, ambition, scope and qualifications. Before selecting a career, you have to consider your interest in it. You should ask yourself whether you really like it or whether you are going to like it or whether you would lose your interest in it after some time. Your aptitude for the career is equally important. So also is your ambition. 'Not failure, but low ambition is a crime.' However, ambition needs to be toned down in consonance with the scope in a particular field and your inherent qualities. Without ambition, you cannot climb the ladder of success and attain anything in your life. To find out the scope in a particular area of interest is also of very great importance. You should see whether it is a new field. If it is a new field, ask yourself whether it is growing. If it is a growing one, the corollary is that you will also grow with it as an employee. In a growing field, typically there is an exploitation to your advantage. Then you have to consider your qualifications for the career chosen. As you are aware, each career requires an amount of theoretical knowledge and skill which are gained through education and training
Things to keep in mind while choosing a Career
Personal Vision
In today’s competitive environment, confidence and hard work are an absolute necessity to get ahead. When you are strongly motivated through a personal vision, mission or purpose, you will have a lot of confidence and drive and the capacity and willingness to undertake large quantities of workload without complaint. Those without this strong internal drive have never been able to reach any level of prominence in any field.
Professional and Interpersonal Skills
Along with a sense of purpose, you should have a high degree of professional and interpersonal skills if you want to be successful in your chosen career. Success in any field comes only through a process of interaction and communication with others.
Information Handling Skills
The third imperative for a successful career is good information handling skills. In today’s world, one of the key abilities for survival and growth is your ability to collect, organizes, store, retrieve, and use information effectively. Your skill in using computers and electronic communication devices is a critical aspect, irrespective of the area of your work. With the majority of jobs increasingly shifting to the white-collar variety, those with poor information handling ability are doomed to failure.

CONDUCTING YOURSELF DURING THE INTERVIEW
The major points that are important will include the following:
- Because first impressions are very important, be certain that you dress conservatively. You may have a special blue suit, a red dress, a great sports jacket, a lot of large jewelery, or other items that you enjoy, but play it safe and dress simply..
- Try to remember persons' names, and call each person by his or her name.
- Always focus on the person asking the question, but use your peripheral vision to observe the facial and other nonverbal expressions of others involved in the interview.
- If you don't have an answer to a specific question, respond honestly that you don't know much about that topic.
- Be aware of your tone of voice and your body language. Do not, for example, slouch and put your arms on a table. Also, do not display nervous mannerisms or speak with a strained voice.
- Don't try to answer a question immediately; if you want to, take a little time to provide a more complete answer.
- Always answer each question honestly, because you will probably have to live with what you present. Being dishonest in your answers may occasionally assist you in obtaining the position you desire, but you will have to live with the dishonesty. If you have presented a false image and you behave differently on the job, you may soon be on your way out!
- Display a good knowledge of the district, based upon all the homework you have done. However, do not bury the interviewers with your knowledge, as you may very well turn them off. Also, if you display greater knowledge of a variety of subjects than the interviewers, you may scare them off from your candidacy.
- Do your home work about the organization , about its origin, the area of work and how your work may help the organization grow.
- Don't argue if you disagree with the opinion of an interviewer. If you can, avoid them.
- At the end of the interview, you will often be asked whether you have any questions for the interviewer(s). It is wise, at this point, to respond (a) that the interviewers and your homework have provided you with all the information that you feel you need, but ask permission to call to obtain additional information if you think of something important that you missed, and (b) ask if you can take a few minutes to stress why you desire the specific job in the specific district, emphasizing strengths that you will bring to the Position.
- If you have materials that you would like the interviewers to review, do not hand them out prior / during the interview.. If you do this, the interviewers many times will be reading your handout materials rather than paying attention to what is being discussed during the interview.
- At the end, make certain to express your gratitude for being given the opportunity for the interview.
- At the very end, provide an additional copy of your resume to each person conducting the interview. This will probably be taken home and will remind them of you when they think about a final employment decision. This is especially important if you were fortunate enough to obtain the final interview.
- Throughout the entire interview, respond with sincerity, tact, and a high degree of interest.
- Engage in active listening. Pay attention to the emotional tone of the interviewer, not just the words he or she utters.
- Most important, throughout the entire interview situation, display life, pep, enthusiasm.Let your personality shine and display a high interest for the job for which you are interviewed.
A final recommendation is that you attempt to obtain the final interview if multiple candidates are being interviewed. This has the following advantages: (a) You will be the last person the interviewers will see and the last contact in their memories; (b) if the interviewers are not experienced, they will become accustomed to the process and be much more at ease when your turn comes to be interviewed; and (c) if you can have a friend or someone you know observe the prior interviews and provide you with feedback, you will have attained much valuable information that will assist you when you are interviewed.
Following through after the Interview
Once your interview has been completed and you have returned home, don't forget to follow through with the interviewers. Write a letter of thanks, and inform the interviewers that you would very much like to serve in the administrative position they have announced. Also, if you have picked up on areas of specific interest to a certain member of the interview team, try to find interesting information about that subject and send it to that person. Also, include a note that indicates your high degree of mutual interest in that specific area.
The advantages of this approach are that (a) it shows courtesy and the fact that you appreciated the interview, (b) it allows you a final chance to impress the individual interviewers, and (c) it gives them a final contact that makes you memorable with the interviewers.

போலி வேலைவாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்கள்…
வேலை தேடுபவர்களுக்கு ஒரு எச்சரிக்கை…
உண்ண உணவு, இருக்க இருப்பிடம், உடுத்த உடை என அடிப்படை வசதிகளையும் மனிதனின் வாழ்க்கை தரத்தையும் உயர்த்துவது அவர்களது வருமானம் தரக் கூடிய வேலை தான்.
இன்றைய நவீன உலகில் பள்ளி படிக்கும் காலத்திலே மாணவ, மாணவிகள் எதிர் காலத்தில் தான் நல்ல மருத்துவர் ஆக வேண்டும், நல்ல பொறியாளர் ஆக வேண்டும் என தனக்கான துறையை முடிவு செய்து கொண்டு கல்லூரியில் கால் பதிக்கும் போது தான் படிக்கும் கல்லூரி மூலமாகவே வேலையும் பெற்றுவிட வேண்டும் என்று களம் இறங்குபவர்களில் சிலர் ஏனோ சில காரணத்தால் கல்லூரி முடித்துவிட்டு தான் படித்த படிப்புக்கு ஏற்ற வேலையும், தான் எதிர்பார்த்த வேலையும் கிடைக்காமல் செய்வதறியாது தடுமாறுகிறார்கள்...
இதை பயன்படுத்திக் கொண்டு சில போலி நிறுவனங்கள் எங்களிடம் வருவோர்க்கு 100சதவீத வேலை என்று கவர்ச்சிகரமான விளம்பரத்தை கொடுத்து வேலை தேடுபவர்களை தங்களது அலுவலகத்திற்கே வரவழைத்து அனுமதிக் கட்டணம், நுழைவுக் கட்டணம் என கூறி 100ரூபாய் முதல் பல லட்சம் ரூபாய்களை பெற்றுக் கொண்டு இறுதியில் வேலை வாய்ப்பு ஏற்படுத்திக் கொடுக்காமல் பணத்தை பறித்துக் கொண்டு தங்களை தொடர்பு கொள்ள முடியாத இடத்திற்கு பறந்துவிடுகிறார்கள்.
வெந்த புண்ணில் வேல் பாய்ச்சும் விதமாக வேலையும் இன்றி தனது பணத்தையும் இழந்து தவிக்கும் இன்றைய இளையதலைமுறை அதிகமே. போலி வேலைவாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்கள் பற்றிய எச்சரிக்கையாக , வேலை தேடுபவர்களுக்கான ஒரு விழிப்புணர்வு கட்டுரை.
வேலைவாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்கள் உருவானது எப்படி...
பன்னாட்டு நிறுவனங்கள் நம் நாட்டில் காலூன்றத் தொடங்கிய காலத்தில் தான் வேலை வாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்களும் பெருகத் தொடங்கின. வேலை தேடுபவர்களுக்கும், வேலை கொடுப்பவர்களுக்கும் பாலமாக செயல்படுவதே இவர்கள் பணி. இந்நிறுவனங்கள் கன்சல்டன்சிகள் என்றும் அழைக்கப்படுகின்றன.
வேலைவாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்கள் அரசிடம் முறையான அனுமதி பெறுகின்றதா?
வேலை வாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்கள் அரசு பதிவுபெற்றதாக இருக்க வேண்டும். ஆனால் பெரும்பாலான நிறுவனங்கள் அரசு பதிவு பெற்றதாக இருப்பதில்லை.
இளைஞர்கள் வேலைவாய்ப்பு நிறுவனம் தேடிவரக்காரணம் என்ன?
உதாரணத்துக்கு, காம்பஸ் இண்டர்வியூ இல்லாத கல்லூரிகளில் படிக்கின்ற மாணவர்கள், கிராமப்புறங்களிலும், சிறு நகரங்களிலும் படித்து முடித்த மாணவர்கள், வீட்டுச் சூழல் காரணமாக 2, 3 வருடங்கள் தாங்கள் படித்த படிப்புக்கு ஓத்து வராத வேலையை செய்தவர்கள் இது போன்றவர்களுக்கு, நேரடியாக வேலை தேடுவதை விட வேலை வாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்கள் வாயிலாக வேலை கிடைக்க வாய்ப்புகள் அதிகம் உள்ளன. ஆனால், வேலை வாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்களை அணுகும் போது கவனமாக இருக்க வேண்டும்.
படிக்கும் கல்லூரிகளில் அனைவருக்கும் வளாக வேலைவாய்ப்பு முகாம் என்று நிறைய கல்லூரி நிறுவனங்கள் கூறிவருகிறது. அப்படியானால் படிக்கும் காலத்திலே அனேக மாணவ, மாணவிகள் வேலை பெற்றுவிடுகின்றார்களா?
அரியர்ஸ் வைத்திருக்கும் மாணவர்கள், ஆங்கிலத்தில் சரளமாக பேசும் திறமையில்லாதவர்கள், கல்லூரியில் ஏதேனும் பிரச்சனையில் சிக்கி ப்ளாக் மார்க் வாங்கியவர்கள், தாங்கள் படித்த சப்ஜெக்ட்டில் தெளிவு இல்லாமல் மனப்பாடம் மட்டுமே செய்து மதிப்பெண் பெற்றவர்கள், இவர்கள் மட்டும் தான் காம்பஸ் இண்டர்வியூவில் தேர்வாகாமல் தங்கி விடுகிறார்கள்.
கல்லூரி வளாக வேலைவாய்ப்பு நேர்முக தேர்வில் மாணவர்கள் பலர் தேர்வு செய்யப்படாமல் போக காரணம் என்ன?
காம்பஸ் இன்டர்வியூவில் ஜெயிப்பதற்கு, எழுத்துத் தேர்வு, குழு விவாதம், தொழில்நுட்பத் தேர்வு, எச்.ஆர் இன்டர்வியூ என்று பல நிலைகளைத் தாண்டி வர வேண்டியிருக்கும். இதற்கு ஆங்கிலத்தில் உரையாடுகின்ற திறமை, கணிதத்தில் ஆழ்ந்த புலமை, புரோகிராம் எழுத உதவுகின்ற லாஜிகல் திங்கிங், வித்தியாசமாக சிந்திக்கும் திறனான லேட்ரல் திங்கிங் போன்றவற்றில் அதீத ஈடுபாடு இருக்க வேண்டும். இவற்றுடன் அதிமுக்கியமாக தன்னம்பிக்கை அவசியம் தேவை. இவற்றில் ஏதேனும் ஓரிடத்தில் சறுக்குபவர்களுக்கு காம்பஸ் இண்டர்வியூவில் வேலை கிடைப்பதில்லை.
போலி வேலைவாய்ப்பு நிறுவன அதிபர்களுக்கு இந்திய தண்டனை சட்டம் தண்டனை பெற வழி செய்கிறதா?
நிச்சயமாக சட்டப்படி தண்டனை உண்டு. போலீசில் புகார் தரலாம்.
மென்பொருள் துறை நிறுவனங்கள் மற்றும் வன்பொருள் துறை நிறுவனங்கள் தங்கள் நிறுவனத்திற்கு தேவையான ஆட்களை நேரிடையாக தேர்வு செய்கிறதா? அல்லது வேலைவாய்ப்பு ஏற்படுத்தி கொடுக்கும் நிறுவனம் மூலமாகவே வேலையாட்களை பெற்றுக் கொள்கிறதா?
சாஃப்ட்வேர் மற்றும் வன்பொருள் துறை நிறுவனங்கள் தேவைக்கு ஏற்றவாறு, நேரடியாகவும், கன்சல்டன்சிகள் மூலமாகவும் ஆட்களை தேர்வு செய்கிறார்கள். எம்ப்ளாயி ரெஃபரென்ஸ் எனப்படும் முறையிலும் ஆட்களை தேர்ந்தெடுக்கிறார்கள்.
வேலைவாய்ப்பு ஏற்படுத்தி கொடுக்கும் ஏஜென்டுகளை பயன்படுத்துவதால் பெரிய நிறுவனத்துக்கு என்ன லாபம்?
பன்னாட்டு நிறுவனங்கள் வேலைக்கு ஆட்களை தேர்ந்தெடுக்கும் போது, அவர்களே நேரடியாக அவ்வேலையை செய்ய, அனைத்து மீடியாக்களிலும் விளம்பரம் கொடுக்க வேண்டும், டெக்னிகல் இண்டர்வியூ, ஆப்டிடியூட் டெஸ்ட், ஹெச்.ஆர் இண்டர்வியூ, பர்சனல் இண்டர்வியூ என்று பல்வேறு கோணங்களில் பரிசோதித்து ஆட்களை தேர்ந்தெடுக்க தேவையான முன்அனுபவம் உள்ள ஸ்டாஃப்களை முதலில் அப்பாயிண்ட்மெண்ட் செய்து கொள்ள வேண்டும்.
இவ்வாறில்லாமல், நேரத்தையும், பணத்தையும் சேமித்து தேவையான ஆட்களை தேவையான நேரத்தில் உடனுக்குடன் பெற்றுக் கொள்ளவே பன்னாட்டு நிறுவனங்கள், வேலைவாய்ப்பு ஏற்படுத்திக் கொடுக்கும் கன்சல்டன்சிகளைப் பயன்படுத்துகிறது.
இதே போல், போலி வேலைவாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்கள் பற்றிய கருத்தை ஜெகதீசன்.எல் ( கிரி டெக்னாலஜி) அவர்கள் கூறும்போது, எங்களைப் போன்று வளர்ந்து வரும் நிறுவனங்களில் பெரும்பாலும் எங்களுக்கு தேவையான ஆட்களை நாங்கள் நேரிடையாக தேர்வு செய்து கொள்கிறாம்.
ஆனால், பெரும்பாலும் இன்றைய இளைய தலைமுறையினர் கல்லூரி படிப்பை முடித்ததும் மிகப் பெரிய நிறுவனங்களில் மட்டுமே தாங்கள் பணியில் சேர வேண்டும் என விரும்புகிறார்கள்.
இவர்களின் மனநிலை அறிந்து சில ஏமாற்று பேர்வழிகள் எம்.என்.சி நிறுவனங்களில் வேலை வாங்கி தருவதாக கூறி வலை விரிக்கும் போது தான் சிலர் அதில் விழுந்து தனது பணம், நேரத்தை இழந்து தவிக்கிறார்கள்.
நாம் பெரும்பாலும் ஊடக செய்திகளில் பல ஆயிரம், இலட்சம் இழந்தவர்களை மட்டும் தான் படிக்கின்றோம். ஆனால், 100 ரூபாய் முதல் 2000 ரூபாய் வரை அன்றாடம் போலி வேலைவாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்களுக்கு சென்று பதிவு கட்டணம் என்ற பேரிலும் தங்களது பணத்தை இழந்து வரும் அவலம் பெரும்பாலானோருக்கு தெரிவதில்லை.
பொதுவாக படிக்கும் காலத்தில் படிப்புக்கென்று பணத்தை செலவு செய்துவிட்டு தங்களது எதிர்கால கனவுடனும், குடும்பக் கடமையை நிறைவேற்ற வேண்டும் என்ற எண்ணத்துடனும் தனக்கேற்ற வேலையை நல்ல ஊதியத்தில் தேடுகின்றனர்.
இந்நிலையில் வேலை கிடைக்காமல் ஏதோ சில காரணங்களால் தாமதாகும் போதுதான் வாழ்க்கையில் விரக்தியும், மன அழுத்தமும் ஏற்பட்டு தன்னம்பிக்கையை அதிகம் பேர் இழந்து விடுகிறார்கள்.
பெரும்பாலும் சென்னையில் வேலை தேடுபவர்கள் மதுரை, கோவை, திருச்சி, தஞ்சாவூர், புதுக்கோட்டை, தர்மபுரி என வெளிமாவட்டத்தை சார்ந்தவர்களாக இருக்கிறார்கள். அவர்களுக்கு இங்கே வேலை தேடும் சரியான முறையும், நல்ல வழிகாட்டுதலும் இங்கே கிடைக்காமல் போவதும் கூட போலி நிறுவனங்களை நம்பி ஏமாறுவதற்கு ஒரு காரணமாக அமைந்து விடுகிறது.
எனவே தனது, பிள்ளைகளின் மன நிலையையும் அறிந்து பெற்றோர்கள், அவர்களது வேலை என்னும் எதிர்காலத்தில் வழிநடத்த வேண்டும். மேலும், இந்த நவீன உலகில் வேலைவாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்களும், வேலை வாய்ப்புகளும் அதிகமாகவே உள்ளது. ஆனால், வேலைக்கேற்ற தகுதியான ஆட்களை மட்டும் தான் நிறுவனங்கள் ஏற்றுக் கொள்கின்றன என்பதை உணர்ந்து வேலைக்கான அனைத்து தகுதியையும் அனைவரும் முதலில் உருவாக்கிக் கொள்ள வேண்டும். சிறிய நிறுவனங்களில் ஊதியக் குறைவு என கருதாமல், தனது அறிவையும், தகுதியையும் வளர்த்துக் கொள்ள சிறிய நிறுவனங்கள் அனைவருக்கும் கிடைக்கப்பெற்ற ஒரு அற்புதமான வாய்ப்பு என்பதை எண்ணி அங்கே தங்களது வேலைக்கான அறிவை வளர்த்துக் கொண்டால் பின்பு, அவர்களின் மிகப்பெரிய கனவு நிறுவனங்களுக்கு சுலபமாக வேலைக்கு செல்ல முடியும் என்பதனை அனைவரும் உணர வேண்டும்.
இன்று எம்.என்.சி என அழைக்கப்படும் பெரிய நிறுவனங்கள் கூட தொடக்கத்தில், சிறிய வகையில் தொடங்கப்பெற்ற நிறுவனங்கள் தான் என்ற உண்மையை அனைவரும் உணர்ந்து, அதற்குரிய தகுதியை அனைவரும் வளர்த்துக் கொண்டால், வேலை உங்களை தேடி வரும். வேலை தேடும் அனைவருக்கும் சிறப்பான எதிர்காலம் அமையும்.
வேலைவாய்ப்பு நிறுவனங்களை அணுகும் போது கவனமாக இருக்க வேண்டிய தகவல்கள்
