 What’s New

Preparation and careful planning are needed before pursuing a particular

career and life goal. Failure to plan for a career may lead to disappointment and
unhappiness. Benjamin Franklin once said, there is no escape route in life,
therefore If You Fail to Plan, You Plan to Fail.
Lesson 1: Concepts on Career and Life Goals
Career is defined as an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a
person's life and with opportunities for progress, a goal is an idea of the future or
desired result that a person or a group of people envisions, plans and commits to
achieve, while a job is a work that someone does to earn money
Career and job are goals which are considered life goals. Life goals are the
target or the main objective of a person which can be achieved within a certain time
or period. A person may set deadline to check if he/she is achieving the goals set
on a specific time.
Life goals should include Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and
Time-bound (SMART) objectives to give focus and direction to the goals. I may also
help in decision making processes that a person might need in achieving the
desired plan.
SMART goals include the following:
Specific goals are well defined, clear, and unambiguous. There is a bigger chance
to achieve a goal it specifically clear what exactly do you want to achieve on
a certain period.
Measurable goals enable you to evaluate whether or not the goal was achieved or
not. There should be specific criteria that will measure your progress
towards the accomplishment of the goal. An indicator of success should be
provided to know if you have reached your goal, without the criteria you will
never know if you are on the right track in reaching your goal.
Achievable and attainable goals are realistic and not impossible to achieve given
the availability of resources, knowledge and time. You should be able to
figure out how to achieve your goal. What are the needed abilities leading to
your goal? What do you need to work further?
Realistic goals are within reach and relevant to your life purpose. For a goal to be
realistic, you should be able to achieve it using the available resources and
the time frame you plan it to finish. You must ensure that the goal is
realistically planned and within reach based on the allocated resources,
time, and commitment.
Time-bound goals has a clearly defined timeline, including a starting date and a
target date. Deadlines create urgency in achieving your goal which leads to
better chances of achieving the plan.

SMART goals help turn life goals into clear pictures that keep a person on the right
track while working on the goal.
CAREER DEVELOPMENT THEORIES

1. Holland’s Theory of Vocational Types

John Lewis Holland was an American psychologist. His theory was based
from observation that people possess traits, behaviors and interests that can be
organized into six types. According to the theory, people match their skills and
personality to a similar work environment. The theory also proposed that people
enjoys working with an environment with people like them.
The theory formed a hexagon which shows the personalities and workplaces
divided into six groupings called Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social,
Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC).

Personality Types according to the RIASEC Model

The Realistic type person is considered to be rugged, robust, reserved,
practical, and materialistic. People of this type are often inclined toward
mechanical, physical, or technical activities where hands-on capabilities are
paramount.
The Investigative type is considered to be analytical, intellectual, complex,
critical, and cautious. People of this type are often drawn to the sciences,
quantitative pursuits, and research and scholarly activities.
The Artistic type is considered to be expressive, imaginative, intuitive,
emotional, and nonconforming. People of this type are often drawn to art, writing,
theater, and languages.
The Social type is considered to be friendly, warm, understanding,
idealistic, and cooperative. People of this type are often drawn to teaching,
counseling, social services, and other helping activities.
The Enterprising type is considered to be ambitious, energetic, sociable,
assertive, and excitement seeking. People of this type are often drawn to politics,
business management, leadership, and other entrepreneurial activities.
The Conventional type is considered to be conscientious, methodical,
careful, orderly, and thrifty. People of this type are often drawn to accounting,
banking, clerical, and computational work.

2. Super’s Development Self Concept Theory

Dr. Donald E. Super was known for his work on vocational guidance.
According to Super developing a sense of self and realize that you change over time
is important when planning your career. Moreover, Super claims that self-concept
changes over time, and develops as a result of experience. As such, career
development is lifelong.
Super’s “Life Span, Life Space” theory proposes that a person’s self-concept –
how they view themselves, how they think they are viewed and how they want to be
viewed – is the main force behind career and development choices. It identifies a set
of development stages, identified roughly by age ranges, through which individuals
move: growth, exploration, establishment, maintenance/management, and
decline/disengagement.
Five Stages of Career Development According to Super
There are five stages of career development as defined in the Self Concept
theory by Super. These stages are as follows:
Growth: This stage is from birth to age 14. This stage is characterized by
development of self-concept, attitudes and needs, as well as defining abilities
and areas of interest in the world of work.
Exploration: This stage extends from age 15-24. During this stage, individuals try
on a few different roles through classes, work experience and hobbies. A
person may also experience tentative choice and skill development.
Eventually, a person may focus on a specific career direction and look for
additional education and training.
Establishment: This stage is from age 25–44. It is characterized by entry-level skill
and stabilization through work experience. During this stage, an individual
settle into their roles and advance as much as possible.
Maintenance: This stage is from age 45-64. This stage is characterized by
continual adjustment process to improve position. This maintenance stage is
the point where an employee is securely established in their role and needs
to decide whether to stagnate in the role continue to improve by updating
skills.
Decline: This stage extends from age 65 and above. It is characterized by reduced
output and preparation for retirement. This is the final stage where an
employee’s focus moves to things outside the job such retirement, leisure
activities or a new career.

According to Donald Super, personal experiences interact with occupational

preferences in creating one’s self-concept. His self-concept theory believes that our
identities and career identities are a product of how we view ourselves. This
explains how our prior experiences influence future career choices. Super believed
that career development as a lifelong activity.
Enough knowledge on career development theories is a big help for a person
to understand himself and the career that he/she will choose in the future.
Learning the different theories may lead a person for better insights about his
interests, personality and career path.

Lesson 2: Factors Influencing Career Choices

1. Abilities and Skills
Before finalizing the plan on which career to pursue, it is advised to consider
the person’s abilities and skills and how to fit in a certain occupation. It is
recommended on the Trait Factor theory that the personality traits of the person
whose career is being planned and the character traits of the job is being
checked to ensure that the individual’s personality matched with a specific
occupation that he/she plans to pursue based on the occupational profile.
2. Personality Type and Interest
Career fields and personality types should be considered in selecting career
choice according to Holland’s Career Typology. This theory establishes a system
 of classification that matches personal preferences and personality
characteristics to job characteristics.

3. Life Roles
Being a worker or an employee is just one of the roles that we have in life. At
work you may be a boss, but in the house, you may be a parent, a child and
while in school, a student. Super’s Life Span Theory addresses directly the fact
that we each play multiple roles that change over time. According to Super, how
we think about ourselves in these different roles and the requirements of them,
as well as the external forces that may affect them, may influence the way we
look at careers in general and also how we make certain choices for
ourselves.
4. Previous Experiences
John Krumboltz's Planned Happenstance Theory and Social Learning
Theory explained the factors related to previous experiences.
Social Learning Theory shows how individuals make career decisions that
emphasizes the importance of behavior and cognitions, while planned happen
stance theory believes that it is OK to not always plan, because unplanned
events could lead to good careers. This theory is called planned happenstance.
This emerging theory specifically addresses the need for people to deal with
change within the rapidly changing labor market.
According to these previous experiences’ theories, positive role models and
experiences in specific careers can influence the career sets we consider as
options for ourselves.
5. Culture
Culture and ethnic and racial background of a person’s family and the
community where a person grew up are also factors that may impact career
decisions. Commonly, a person’s expectations and values are shaped by culture.
Awareness on the expectations and values of our culture affects individuals’
career choices.
6. Gender
There are expected career roles for men and women. Previously, women
were normally given easier and low-paying jobs compared to men. Managerial
positions were normally for men, too. These instances were believed to affect how
men and women view themselves. Gender bias influence the choice of career and
opportunities for men and women. Nowadays, whether you are a woman or a
man, equal opportunities were offered in the workplace.
7. Economic and Social Conditions
There is a big chance that economic and social condition affect a person’s
career choices. Few years ago, career theories such as Social Learning and Social
Cognitive Career Theory address the context of economic and social conditions,
together with other factors. Certain events that take place during our lives
which affect available choices for us and dictate the choices to a certain degree.
Few years back, many chose Nursing and Physical Therapy courses due to the
growing opportunities abroad of graduates of those courses. The job market
abroad, and low salary in the Philippines, and rising prices of the commodities
brought by economic changes and poor social condition led, even practicing
medical doctors to enroll again and work as nurse abroad.
8. Childhood Fantasies
Eli Ginzberg (1911-2002) was an economist who studied the Theory of
Vocational Guidance who interviewed people of the upper middle class to know
their opportunity of career choices. According to Ginzberg, choosing a career is
a long-term process that requires education, vision, values, goals, skills,
 and interest. Furthermore, vocational choices of individuals are divided into
3 stages namely:1.Childhood or infancy; 2. Adolescence; 3. Adulthood or
maturity.

9. Counselor’s Advice
Deciding for a career is crucial. There are numerous of factors to consider. A
vocational counselor’s advice may be of help to finalize which career path to
pursue based on the learning experience, economic situation, and cultural and
social influence.
After reading the influencing factors, answer the questions on your notebook
1. Do you agree that these factors affect/ influence your career choice?
Why?
2. How did you decide on the career that you will pursue in the future?
3. Who/ what influenced you the most? Why?

What self-assessment tools can help you achieve your goals?

Lesson 3: Self-assessment tools

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

The MBTI is a very helpful tool for understanding and categorizing
personality archetypes. It is based on the following main factors:
Introversion/Extroversion, Intuition/Sensing, Feeling/Thinking, and Judging/
Perceiving. People are then categorized into a type based on which of the four
traits they practice.
Myers-Briggs is a personality framework that can help you understand other
people and why they behave in certain ways.

KEIRSEY TEMPERAMENT TEST

This personality assessment is based on Keirsey Temperament Theory,
which divides people into four “temperaments:” guardian, idealist, rational, and
artisan. The assessment measures how people communicate and what their actions
tend to be.
Temperament is a configuration of observable personality traits, such as
habits of communication, patterns of action, and sets of characteristic attitudes,
values, and talents. It also encompasses personal needs, the kinds of contributions
that individuals make in the workplace, and the roles they play in society. Each
temperament has its own unique qualities and shortcomings, strengths and
challenges. Dr. David Keirsey has identified humankind's four basic temperaments
as the Artisan, the Guardian, the Idealist, and the Rational.
 Please make

SELF-IMAGE OF THE FOUR TEMPERAMENTS

Keirsey also observed that people have different core pursuits based on their
temperament. Each of the four temperaments take different paths to self-esteem. In
other words, based on a person's temperament, they will be driven differently, and
will feel best about themselves when they are a certain way, and are achieving aims
which matter to them.

Directions for Scoring

1. Add down so that the total number of a answers is written in the box at the
bottom of each column. Do the same for the b answers you have checked. Each of
the 14 boxes should have a number it.
2. Transfer the number in box #1 of the answer grid to box #1 below the answer
grid. Do this for box # 2 as well. Note, however, that you have two numbers for
boxes 3 through 8. Bring down the first number for each box beneath the second,
as indicated by the arrows. Now add all the pairs of numbers and enter the total in
the boxes below the answer grid, so each box has only one number.
3. Now you have four pairs of numbers. Circle the letter below the larger numbers
of each pair. If the two numbers of any pair are equal, then circle neither, but put
a large X below them and circle it.
