Abstract

Concepts of personality development emphasize the fact that a subject can act as both the author of his career and its object. Given that there are different criteria for classifying careers, there are also different strategies for building them. At the same time, the criteria for the success of a career model can be viewed both from the perspective of a person's subjectivity and from the perspective of his/her professional environment. In this regard, the evaluation criterion includes the perception and self-evaluation of achievements and recognition in the professional environment through promotion, salary increase, etc. A person, acquiring new knowledge, skills, and abilities, may feel welcomed by the professional environment only after obtaining a higher skill category or a raise. Objective criteria are related to promotion, obtaining a certain social status, number of job changes and types of jobs. Subjective criteria are related to the subject's (actor's) ideas about the values regarding their career and desires for how it should be developed in the future. Career strategy is a specific system of activities aimed at the adaptation or development of the career and the person in it and the transformation of the person and others; these activities change the conditions and content of professional activity in order to achieve career goals.

Analyzing the presented principles of career development, the following approaches were identified: systemic, personality, project, competence, the principle of interaction between individual, personality and career development, and the principles of socioeconomic adaptation and career mobility.

Taking into account the basic principles of career psychology in the conditions of current socio-economic transformations, career development should provide for motivation and success in action and the formation of a stable competitive position, have an appropriate level of professional competence, in particular personal responsibility for the choice of their own career paths.
