3. Summary of case study
• J.D Wallace, a 30 year old engineer with
Betchel Engineering and possessed a skill
of working out with the software
technology for engineering, Plant Design
System (PDS). PDS is a system that
required a skill to develop and most
demanded skill in industry. However,
some workers did not interested to
develop this skill. Wallace pointed out that
improving skill is important for career
development and it isTemplates waste of time 3

Is Wallace concerned with
job security or career
security? Discuss.

5. Introduction
• Job is something you do without much
concern for the long-term.
• You get a job to buy your first car, to have
extra spending money, to learn about
work, or to pay the bills.
• When young people work part-time in
retail sales jobs, they aren’t thinking of it
as a career.
• The same goes for senior citizens who
take on jobs after they’ve retired. It is
simply work done in exchange for money.
• Jobs are important for people of all ages.

A job can put food on the family table. Page 5

6. • Most careers start with education.
Many people work jobs because they
don’t have the education needed to
enter careers, though jobs can
certainly turn into careers, regardless
of type of employment.
• Careers are about building on
experience and advancing your job
skills and knowledge.
• You can apply for a job, but you Page 6

7. • “Career” is a lifelong process made up of a
sequence of activities and related attitudes
or behaviours that take place in a person’s
work life.
• It is also viewed as: a pattern of work
related experiences, such as job positions,
jobs duties or activities, work related
decisions; and subjective interpretations of
work related events, such as work
aspirations, expectations, values, needs
and feelings about particular work
experiences, that span the course of a
person’s life. (Greenhaus, et al. 2000)
• Apparently, a career is not just a job, but
revolves around a process, an attitude, Page 7
Powerpoint Templates

8. • However, during the last few
decades there is concept that
individuals are also responsible to
cater to and build their own
careers, instead of leaving it entirely
to the organisation to manage.
• Hence, career management requires
initiative from both organisations as
well as individuals in order to provide
maximum benefit for both.
• Career development is about the Page 8
Powerpoint Templates

9. In this case study, Wallace is concerned with the
career security.
• Definition
Job security used to mean finding a position in a
good company, showing up on time, performing
your job reasonably well, and having fairly
predictable advancement up the ranks. We all
know that is no longer true.
• Job Security is transformed into Career
Security
Nowadays ,job security has changed. We have
moved from a position of seniority to one of
promoting performance,Templatesone of security Page 9
Powerpoint from to

10. • Career security is not a continued
reliance on a company or position, but a
new way of approaching your job and
your career. It is a method that will give
you the ability to continue to earn a living
no matter what happens to your job or the
company.
• The problem is, It is difficult for people to
find new jobs or keep their current job if
they do not have the ability to do the jobs.
Unfortunately, a lot of people do not
realize the importance of learning new
skills. They believe their many years of
Powerpoint Templates
working experience are enough to makePage 10

11. How to secure career?
1. Maintain Employability
Portable competencies and experience in critical
projects are always in demand, regardless of who
your employer is. Gathering and maintaining this
experience is the key to employability rather than
mere employment.
 To maintain and increase employability, gather
skills in these areas:
 Experience on "hot" projects in your area of
practice, particularly if you believe this experience
will be in demand in the future. For example, if
you believe that Plant Design System (PDS )is the
fastest growing and most demanded skill in Page 11
Powerpoint Templates

12.  People and project management skills are
highly valued in today's team-based
multi-agency projects. Gain experience in
working with diverse groups, from fellow
engineers, to regulators, to permit
agencies, to the public. Learn and expand
project management skills in handling
project schedules, management, and
financial accountability.
 Build your skills andTemplates
Powerpoint reputation as a
Page 12

13. 2.Develop Your Network - Make your skills
and experience known
Competence is necessary but not sufficient for
career security. While it is important to be good
at your job, your security also lies in others
knowing that.
• Make sure you are visible by choice, not by
chance. Do this by developing and maintaining a
professional network. These are the people who
know your value in the marketplace and will
often help you find (or be a reference for) your
next career move. These people should not only
be key decision makers within the organizations,
but also clients, co-workers, suppliers, and
industry leaders outside the organization.
• Your best security comes from recognition and
appreciation by others in your engineering
community. Powerpoint Templates
Page 13

14. 3. Adapt to today's market reality
 Today's organizations need employees who
have the capability to do several tasks or be
deployed to work on a variety of projects. It is
important not to be too specialized, or pidgin-
holed into a narrow field. Broaden your career
options. Develop multiple ways you can go. Be
flexible and nimble.
 Also be adaptable to our constantly changing
technology. Eagerly embrace new technologies
that improve your efficiency and increase the
value added to organizations. Adapt to a
company's organizational changes. With
department re-organizations happening
constantly, understand the value you add and
the way you can continue to be a positive
Powerpoint Templates
productive contributor for whatever Page 14

15. Based on the article given, Wallace is
more concerned with the career
security based on the comparison
between the job and career. It is based
on three characteristics:
1.Time
2.Requirement
3.Benefits Obtained.
Powerpoint Templates
Page 15

16. Time
• Based on the definitions given by the
Oxford dictionary, career and job are
totally different things. Career is the
profession held by an individual
throughout his work life and job is an
activity which is exchanged for
payment. From the definition we can
see that career hold a long-time
activities from job. To make it easy to
understand, career Templates

18. • Based on the article, Wallace is more
focused on career security in terms of
when he repeatedly said that getting new
skills is important to add value to the
company and link it to the benefits that
you have for more skilled workers. Skills
obtained through out training given by the
organization can be used in long-term
period which is more focused on career
security. Such example, an scientist who
has good research skillTemplates promoted Page 18
Powerpoint can be

19. Requirement
• To secure career, the requirement
needed is more than the requirement
needed for a job. Job is focused on one
activity which is need to be completed
by the employees while career is the
ongoing job improvement or job
development. Such example, from a
trainee to be a manager, there are
special training need to be involved by
the employees in order to carry out the 19

Page 20

21. • Based on the articles, Wallace focused on career
security when again, he repeatedly saying about
getting new skills through training. Requirement of
securing career is to have a lot of skills where the
key of securing career is when there is high
demand on the skills that you have ( William
Barnson, 2010). Such example, the a clerk who has
an excellent writing, editing, communication and
research skills can be promoted to be a Public
Relations Officer which a job that requires these
skills. However, special training need to be held in
order to implement more skills on graphics and
audio which is needed also to be a Public Relations 21

22. Benefits of securing
career
• Next, the benefits of securing the careers
rather than securing the jobs. Career is an
activity which is broad while job the
activity is focus only on one thing. Such
example, career is about the life of a CEO
who is originated from only a supervisor
and with his will, determination and hard
work, he becomes a CEO at his company.
The flow of the jobs done shows the
ongoing career of the CEO. There are two
benefits that can be obtained if securing 22

24. • Career security can improves the life
conditions of an employee.
– If the employee focused on securing the
career rather than focusing job security,
he can improve the life conditions. Based
on the articles, Wallace told about how his
friends who are quitting his current job for
a job who gives him 35% more salary.
This shows that Wallace focusing on how
to secure the career by improving and
learning new skills. Better life condition
Powerpoint Templates
does not mean bigger salary for more Page 24

25. • New experience from the jobs taken.
– As what has been explained from the beginning,
the scope between job and career is completely
different. Career is wide and job is narrow due to
the work done. The benefits that can be gained
from securing the career is that more and more
experience gained through out the process.
Career, is a series of jobs done, thus the
experience on working different jobs gives out
different experience to the person. Based on the
article, Wallace is pressuring on getting new
skills, which it is linked to securing the career.
Powerpoint Templates
However, besides the skills obtained, the Page 25

26. • Both of the points given that career
security is more beneficial to a person
rather than securing the job. To relate
with the article, adding the value of the
an employee to the organization as what
Wallace stressed in the article to secure
the career of the employee through out
various of training and education taken
is important and through training it will

skill in career
development
Powerpoint Templates
Page 37

38. 1. Current Economy Condition
Cost to the company:
• Organizations now focus on the
advancement of a few carefully
selected employees for career
growth as cost-cutting, downsizing
and flatter organizational structures
have reduced or eliminated career
development functions.
Powerpoint Templates
Page 38

39. 2. Technology Changes
 Due to world globalization,
technology keep changing and
updating.
 Especially in engineering
occupation which is handling
machines and software, e.g:
PDS (Plant Design System)
 PDS is updating periodically Page 39
Powerpoint Templates

40. 3. Attitudes Toward Work
 Some of the workers define their
personal success only in terms of
financial gains rather than job
opportunity.
Employees also ensconced in a
comfort zone created by having
secure position for too long.
 Lack of motivation.

42. 1. Employer’s Responsibility (Betchel
Engineering)
 Create more training and development
programmed that can benefit all the
workers. It is encouraging if the
opportunity to go for the training cover
all the workers, in all level and
department.
 Provides a special fund of the career
development for the workers. Special
fund is very important as it is an long
term investment in a company.
Powerpoint Templates
Page 42

43. Promotion by merit not seniority,
evaluation based on performance of the
workers will motivate them to improve skill
and keep going forward.
“If it is a learning that can lead to an improvement
in business process or production process, then
not implementing it can lead to productivity losses.
Therefore, only those firms which can constantly
capture such intrinsic knowledge that happens
every day in the shopfloor, can be competitive and
sustainable (Wickramasinghe, 2006)”.
Eliminates worker who do not performed
well and low productivity to lighten the Page 43

44. 2. Employees Responsibilities (workers at
the Betchel Engineering)
It is duty of workers to plan and develop
their skills and expertise. The skills need
to be developed by the new idea of
improvement, handling crisis, and
application universal solution for all
problems.
Employees need to understand the
company’s culture values, vision and
mission.
They by themselves need to be aware of 44
