Advantages and Disadvantages of a Complex Career Development Model
Career development refers to a lifetime developmental experiences process that focuses on looking for, obtaining, and processing knowledge about oneself, educational and occupational alternatives, role options, and life styles (Sue et al., 2022). The opportunities for career succession have proved to be either scanty or do not work at all. According to research by Sharf (2016), career professionals have found that people talk about their current and lack of career opportunities almost every time. With the Krumboltz model, we learn about the development trials to understand why people make their career choices. These decisions also have advantages and disadvantages, which influence views and ideas.
One of the main advantages of having a complex model is that one can match career goals and individual capabilities with opportunities. A well-built career development improves personal development, which develops one’s capability and potential, which later enhances the quality of life and results in achieving career goals and aspirations. Self-development helps one think about long-term goals. However, personal development may affect thoughts and actions, which limits understanding of other topics. The limitations narrow the thinking capacity because one is buried in personal development only. Therefore, they may not discover better and more efficient ways to attain their dreams.
Borrowing from Holland’s theory, it has been found that while developing career paths, people prefer jobs they can be around others which helps in the development of creativity (Zainudin et al.,.2020). They search for a workplace that will allow them to use their skills and abilities while expressing their attitudes and values. The advantage of such a working atmosphere is that people will help one another to be more experts and attain work experience. One significant problem is that it limits external intercession and the scope of advancement.
