Abstract
In a modern world defined by accelerated technological advancement and labor market uncertainty, Career Self-Management (CSM) emerges as a proactive skill for long-term employability and professional development. The primary objective of this professional paper is to conduct a descriptive analysis of academic literature, identifying both positive and negative outcomes of CSM behaviors, as well as practical strategies for career navigation and development. The findings of this paper highlighted the strong correlation between active usage of CSM behaviors and increased positive CSM outcomes like employability, career satisfaction, psychological well-being, and life balance. Additionally, the paper presented the cyclic model of CSM as a practical tool that can be used for career navigation and CSM integrating into employment programs and curriculums about career advising.
