Human Resource Management

I met with a general manager finance of a company for interview to know about the career achievement and his efforts towards career development with the aim to know how such person develop his career throughout the life. My approach was to know from childhood to current stage of his career and how efforts were made and crossed the different stages of career. In the childhood this person has the influence of the parents and developed ambitions related to career according to the influence. After early education he was influenced from the accountants and set the direction to become a certified public accountant. In the university with help of qualified professors obtained knowledge about the accounting profession. Gradually after hard work become a certified public accountant and applied in different companies to start the career. First job started as assistant accountant in the company.

He obtained training of ERP system and obtains an edge amount the other accountants and promoted to manager finance in the company. At this stage again he looks to obtain further certification and obtained certificate of internal auditor to strengthen the internal control procedures. At this stage he left the old company and joined another company as general manager finance. According to his point of view he is looking for to become the CEO of the company situational method of interview was used.

Baruch’s integrated model describes the different stages that an individual covers during career. Further Baruch’s model does not specify any time period for the different stages. It is important to specify the time period for the every stage of the model so that an individual can be evaluated. There should be certain synchronization between age and every stage.
