Overview
- Welcome to Career Admin Essentials. In this brief presentation, we are going to define career administration and take a look at those tools that employment candidates can use in order to land their promising jobs. Let's takeoff.
What career administration is
- Career administration is a set of endeavors undertaken in order to administer one's career. Career can be defined as a long-term occupation and administration in this case is being in charge of that. Vocation is another term related to this topic. It is a strong feeling of suitability for a particular career.
Job market
- Every employment is the match between employers and employees. Future employees offer their talents and employers offer jobs. Talents are on one side and job vacancies are on another side.
- On a casual market, products are rarely sold without intermediaries. In most cases, something or someone should be in between employers and future employees. And this "in-between" includes everything and everyone who can help to match these two parties. Sometimes, employers or employment candidates can play that role. Nevertheless, if you are a job seeker without direct connections, you can not in any meaningful way to know what jobs are available and how to land them without some sources of information.
- So, we can identify three groups of actors in career administration. One group is owners of talents -- employment candidates. Another group is employers -- owners of job vacancies. The middle group is market intermediaries -- workforce service providers, informational resources, relatives, classmates, just friends, et cetera.
Job seeker vs entrepreneur
- Every career can also be defined as an enterprise which objective is one's employment. We may easily compare every person who is looking for a job or may consider looking for a job with a business in search for its customers. That business has the name, which is the person's name, it has some weaknesses, strengths, threats, opportunities, advantages, and disadvantages. Eventually, that person's time has some price too. This price is commonly called employee compensation.
- If one is looking for a job, he or she is an entrepreneur. Employment candidates are self-employed and, in most cases, the goal of the business is to sell their time. Whatever is good for an enterprise is good for employment candidates. Career administration can be viewed as no more than an application of business administration to one's career.
