CAREER AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT THEME
Career is the lifelong sequence of jobs and the objective career is the observable,
measurable and verifiable attainments (Hall, 2002). The criteria for objective success include
salary, salary growth, hierarchical status or number of employees. It is also the lifelong
sequence of role related experiences and the subjective career are all
aspects relevant concerning individual career and is dependent on subjective
evaluation relative to individual’s own goals and expectations.
According to Hall (2002), career does not imply success or failure, fast
or slow advancement and success is best judged by individual and the right
to individual personal choice. Career consists of both objective and
subjective career attainments and is a process with any sequence of work-
related experiences.
At school during the time for group projects, we had divided ourselves in groups of five
students. Each one of us was required to perform a specific task which was part of the whole
project. I was the group leader so I was responsible for the division of work to ensure that work
was shared equally and fairly. According to the course requirement we were to perform the tasks
as one entity and not the idea of sharing parts. Nearing the submission deadline each one was
supposed to have finished the tasks so as to combine the project to appear to have been done by
one person. Three of us did their parts perfectly while the other two failed to follow the
requirements therefore bringing a failure and entirely a shoddy job. The experience forced me as
the project lead to perfect the parts of the two members who did not meet the objectives giving
me more pressure to cover up people’s imperfections to bring out a perfect job in the last minutes
to submission deadline.
