what is Career management?
545107
is defined by Ball (1997) as:\n\n   1. Making career choices and decisions - the traditional focus of careers interventions. The changed nature of work means that individuals may now have to revisit this process more frequently than in the past.\n   2. Managing the organisational career—concerns the career management tasks of individuals within the workplace, such as decision-making, life-stage transitions, dealing with stress etc.\n   3. Managing 'boundaryless' careers - refers to skills needed by workers whose employment is beyond the boundaries of a single organisation, a workstyle common among, for example, artists and designers.\n   4. Taking control of one's personal development—as employers take less responsibility, employees need to take control of their own development in order to maintain and enhance their employability.\n\nNow that the job-for-life covenant between employer and employee has been superseded by an insecure and uncertain job market, career management has become a necessary survival skill rather than being an activity pursued by Ivy League alumni or people born with a silver spoon in the mouth. Job security is now based on knowledge, skills and added-value rather than length of service or loyalty to an employer. Career management is nothing more than a small investment of time, money and energy to protect the major source of revenue—one's job.\n\n\ncareer Planning\n\nCareer planning is a subset of career management. Career planning applies the concepts of Strategic planning and Marketing to taking charge of one's professional future. See Network for more information.

An "IS manager" is the information systems manager.\n\nInformation systems managers install computer systems, ensure that back up systems operate effectively, buy hardware and software, provide the ICT technology infrastructures for an organisation, and contribute to organisational policy with regard to quality standards and strategic planning.\n\nInformation systems managers work in every size of organisation in every industry and service sector, usually with a staff of technicians, programmers and database administrators reporting to them. \n\nWithin the ICT sector actual job titles are dependent on the employing organisation. You might, for example, be a service delivery manager in a software house or a data processing manager in an end-user organisation. \n\nInformation systems managers direct the work of systems/business analysts, computer programmers, support specialists, and other computer-related workers. \n\nThe role is ultimately dependent on the employing organisation and the complexity of its information systems. \n\nStandard activities are likely to include: \n\n---evaluating user needs and system functionality\n---ensuring that ICT facilities meet the needs of individuals and projects\n---planning, developing and implementing the ICT budget, obtaining competitive prices from suppliers, where appropriate, to ensure cost effectiveness \n---scheduling upgrades and security backups of hardware and software systems\n--researching and installing new systems\n--ensuring the smooth running of all ICT systems, including anti-virus software, print services and e-mail provision \n--ensuring that software licensing laws are adhered to\n--providing secure access to the network for remote users\n--ensuring the security of data from internal and external attack\n---providing users with appropriate support and advice\n---managing crisis situations, which may involve complex technical hardware or software problems\n---mentoring and training new ICT support staff\n---keeping up to date with the latest technologies

This question can have different answers depending on the kind of agency (traditional marketing? web-only shop? ad sales? startup?). \n\nIn general, a project manager is responsible for taking "ownership" of  a product or initiative and making sure it moves forward. Sometimes this means hiring the team to make it happen, but usually you're just herding a team already in place. You help set deadlines, navigate obstacles, track the budget and timeline, facilitate communication and write reports about the progress. You often have to give presentations or interact regularly with both upper management and middle/lower management and worker bees so it helps if you can talk intelligently about such wide-ranging topics as HR, technical specs and art/design.\n\nEssentially, you have to keep things moving in all areas, because if your project grinds to a halt or goes down in flames - it's your fault.\n\nOn the flip side, you get a little credit when it goes flawlessly.

Event management is an area of expertise covering the organising of events....that can be anything from a meeting to a large conference or exhibition.\n\nIt generally covers pre-planning, actual event and post planning.  Doesn't sound too difficult, but it is...you have to have a wide knowledge or access to a wide knowledge on such things as local suppliers, transport, accessibility, communication, security and a million other things.  \n\nIt is an exciting field to work in and great fun....even although it can be nerve-wracking, especially since you are relying on other people providing goods and services on time.  Great job for people who like organising and like living on the edge....great feeling though when it all goes to plan.

Human Resource Management will require you to interact with nearly every person/position within an organization.  If you want to be a proactive HRM, and actively seek to ease the workers frustrations with management and regulation, you will be the negotiator between workers and management.   This would require a take charge personality and the ability to give advice and information to all levels of personnel in the company.  Not an easy job for a "shy person".\n\nCollege provides proven "career paths" for few of the fields they teach.  A BA in HR, doesn't mean you will graduate and instantly be given a management job.  Most companies choose to hire/promote people into management that have shown and taken on leadership roles.\n\nMy suggestion would be to look for internship positions within the areas you think you are interested in.  Go intern for a company in their HR department and see how you get along and what your typical day would look like.\n\nTrying to decide what to do with your life based only on theory and academia's slant of the real world is tough.  You really need to find a couple jobs and see what life is really like.\n\nMy suggestion would be to take the basic courses that all the options you have require, do some interning, and then decide which, if any, specialty you wish to pursue.  There really is no "right or wrong" answer for your dilemma.\n\nGood luck.

Opportunity is not something that is always ready when you are.\nSome people seem to think that just as soon as they enter the job market, that they should instantly find a high paying job, instantly having a management position, and instantly have everything in life that they want. \n\nI'm not sure how this notion has come about, but it does not work that way. \n\nTo get to where you want to be, requires time and hard work. Rather than worrying about what being a success at finding the job you want, \n\n1) Work at being a success at a job you can get. \n2) Network with people in the field in which you want to base your career.\n3) Always keep your eye open for opportunities within your career choice.\n4) Use current employment opportunities to establish yourself as a hard worker with social aptitude toward co-workers.

Nobody can tell you or trace your career path but what wiser people can do is give you a compass so that you know WHEN you stray from your heart's desire or the world's need.\n\nThe framework or compass that I give people in my career management workshops is one that focuses their attention on basically four key dimensions of a good, fulfilling and rewarding career:\n\nTALENT\nWORLD'S NEED\nPASSION\nMEANING\n\nThese refer, respectively, to your head, your body (you have to make a living and get paid to feed and clothe your body), your heart and your soul.\n\nThe first thing to do is to determine what you are good at: that is, find your talent. Sometimes it takes a while to discover your unique talent. Just pay attention to what people say about you, especially the compliments they make.\n\nNext you have to develop your talent in a way that serves a real need in the world. \n\nThink about the theatrical talents of Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II. They both used their acting talent by playing an important role in the world, at the time they were needed as leaders.\n\nOver time you will also realize that you want to do something that is meaningful to you at the personal level. You want to do something that contributes to a better world, something that is aligned with your values. This is about wanting to make a difference. We all want to make a difference.\n\nAnd of course throughout your career and in fact throughout every single day,  you want to do something that makes you feel alive (and kicking!).\n\nWhen older people give you advice, you can easily place their advice along one of these four key axes. Therefore, nobody's advice will be complete.\n\nSome will tell you to go "where the money is." Others will tell you to follow your heart. Yet other people will suggest you do something that makes a difference.\n\nBut in the end, it is up to you to consider each piece of advice given the global picture of a good career, which includes all four elements (in varying degrees, of course).\n\nGood luck!
