Career Strategies: Theory and Practice of Alignment
https://doi.org/10.56414/jeac.2022.7
Abstract
Background: The modern labor market requires from specialists not only a deep knowledge of professional skills, but also a willingness to develop meta-professional soft skills in the context of building their career strategies. Moreover, we are talking about the potential possibility of changing the professional field of activity. Obviously, this landscape largely determines the need for continuous self-development, tracking trends in the labor market, and following trends in the global exchange of information.
Purpose: The Journal of Employment and Career creates a platform for communication and information exchange on the stated issues in order to broadcast the most relevant scientifically validated information, to develop scientific knowledge in the specified subject area.
Materials and Methods: Based on keywords, the editor of the journal conducted a search in the international databases Scopus and Google Scholar in order to accumulate the most relevant sources reflecting the current state of the problem. An analysis of these sources made it possible to present the main approaches to building career strategies that were reflected in previous studies. Based on the data obtained, the author of the article visualized the main trends.
Results and Implications: The obtained results testify to the cardinal transformation of the labor market, which invariably causes a change in career strategies. Hence, the role of primary professionalization increases, since the choice of a career should be determined not by the availability of an educational institution, but by internal motivation for activity.
