Excerpt

When it comes to modern career development, one thing we can all count on is change. With the advent of technology, telecommuting, and E-commerce, how work is performed is in a state of reinvention. Self-employment and small business development will become more the norm than big business. And career changes will be more frequent due to rapidly changing organizations and industries. Finally, the line between one’s personal and professional life will become even more blurred. Since the modern world of work is rapidly changing to keep up with the demands of our fast-paced lives and lifestyles, here are some characteristics of what the new work contract will look like:
§ Seeking more meaning from work.
§ Equating “career success” with personal satisfaction over paycheck or status.
§ Everyone will need their own “name-brand.”
§ Increased use of technology.
§ Finding work that needs doing.
§ Changing in the way management and leadership is conducted (less arrogance at the top level, more power on lower levels).
§ Increased need for networking and self-marketing.
§ Lifelong “trying on” of various roles, jobs, and industries.
§ Creating a plan that is flexible, and continually assessing the “fit” of the work.
§ Increased representation of women and minorities in the workforce.
§ Changing career fields numerous times in a lifetime.
§ Self-responsibility: Everyone knowing they have to chart their own career direction.
