The video is very true when stating that today, questions such as, "What am I good at?" or "What is my purpose?" comes up much more so then in the past. Our generation is constantly changing, and constantly pursuing adventure and passion. These characteristics, along with dedication and knowledge, allow us to not only move up, but move around. We possess the exact qualities that let us explore and experience career development.

Developing your career is the most fulfilling move you can make in your life. Thinking of your career as an artist is an easy way to help you see what you need to do. You do not need to be the top dog, but you need to be able to make others believe you. You need to have expertise, meaning, and courage.

Handling your career as an artist would handle a project is a good analogy. When an individual is building their career they can use the steps an artist may use to achieve their ultimate goal. I would overall rate this video a five. It is very original material, but I found it to be a tad boring. For an creative person they may find this video more satisfying than I did myself.

Career development is very important. People struggle everyday with what they want to do with the rest of their lives and what their purpose is in life. I think this is especially important for people our age, because there is so much that is changing in our lives right now. It is important for to choose something that you are passionate about. Many of the videos that we have watched tell you that passion is what drives success. Passion helps people reach higher levels of success because it is easier to do something you love everyday than something you do not really care about. Possessing the skills needed to do you job is also important. However, you should also be able to express these skills to others and use them to encourage others so that they are passionate about your job as well. Being able to put yourself out there to create a business and/or product or service takes a lot of courage. You have to present yourself to others and not be afraid of failure or rejection in order to be truly successful.

He explains expertise as the first thing one needs in order to jumpstart your career development. He promptly states that you do not need o know everything, but must have a working knowledge of what your job entails. Once you have developed the expertise, then you must prove your work's meaning within the company and establish yourself. After that, you must have the confidence to stand up for your work and effectively manage employees.

This was an interesting video. It gives three steps to career development: Growing expertise, have meaning, be courageous, and having connections. Each of these are very accurate. You must become an expertise in your field in order to be respected. You must also give meaning to what you do. You must be courageous and not worry about failure. And lastly, connect with people to help you learn and grow.
