Version of Record

Japanese big businesses have been rapidly shaking off their "life-long employment" practices, and many white collar employees, especially middle-aged and older, are struggling to find new jobs. They are looking for new career models and want to enhance their "employability." On the other hand, there are many small businesses or new ventures that are desperately searching for management talents and worrying about vacancies in their senior and / or middle management positions. In this paper, my main question is: What are the main success factors in changing jobs for those happy people who were able to step down from their positions in big but declining businesses and find themselves parachuted into management jobs in emerging industries or small growing businesses. We conducted two surveys sponsored by the Employment Information Center and by the Industrial and Labor Policy Office of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and our conclusions are: a. Deliberately designed career plans, clarification of their own occupational edges, voluntary training efforts, precise understanding of market demands, and career counseling intervention all enhance their employability. b. Corporate career development programs and outside job search and training / development services promote employability. Career making industries help people acquire deeper knowledge of labor markets. c. Self-management awareness as well as careful and smart behavior are necessary conditions. d. Learning organizations may provide a good climate for finding more valuable and employable employees.
