THE SPECIFICS OF FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL CAREER OF A PERSON UNDER MODERN CONDITIONS
The article analyzes a wide range of interdependent issues and actions, interrelated processes, which study the core of the “career” notion. The paper illustrates the objective criteria of career growth and premises of the development of successful career of a modern individual. The theoretical analysis demonstrates that the professional self-actualization has to develop on the basis of the professional “I-image”. A future engineer has to possess such qualities as activity, exactingness, mobility, need for self-education, ultimate self-assertion in any kind of business, desire to realize oneself in all respects, to develop one’s own creativity. These are the main factors of the development of the career. One of the requirements for the professional self-actualization formation was defined to be the future engineers’ realization of a psychological sense for their own professional significant qualities and characteristics. The latter includes mental, psychophysical and social psychological features of an individual. The formation of precise ideas about psychological factors of an engineer’s personality as well as his/her professional activity put forward the active professional development of future engineers. In competitive conditions the professional self-actualization becomes an essential part of an individual’s professional education. The research helps to show that one of the leading factors should be development of the professional psychological ability to master professional experience successfully as a main premise of the future engineers’ professional career.
