Career Counseling
Ms. Sara Kazi
What will employers of the future look for in their employees?
Creativity
Emotional Intelligence
continuous learning
Active learning
Stress tolerance and flexibility
ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND AND LEAD PEOPLE
EMPATHY AND COMPASSION
BUT THESE AREN’T ALL. THE WORLD NEEDS DIVERSE SKILLS SETS AND EVERY SKILL SET IS IMPORTANT.
Evaluate Your
Interests
 What are we working on today?

● Understanding what “career exploration” means

● GETTING TO KNOW YOURSELF AND OTHERS
● Some self-sharing
Self-exploration gives you an idea of
- who you really are, what you want, what you
like, what you are comfortable with and where
you want to go in life.
 IDENTITY
● your core self, and not others perception of you or who you
should be.
● age, gender, religion, race, ethnicity, etc. communities in
which you consider yourself a member

SO YOU CAN paint a full picture of who you are.

 INTERESTS

Interests represent things you like to learn about or do as

hobbies. Think about anything you enjoy spending your time
doing. These interests may give clues to the kinds of careers and
jobs you’d enjoy.
 VALUES
Values are the beliefs and qualities you consider most important in
your career and life. Although they may change over time, you
usually keep these throughout your life and they define what is
meaningful to you. Values play an integral role in career
satisfaction
 Likes and Dislikes
Reflect on your previous experiences and think about what you liked or
disliked in each position. This process may provide you insights about
what you like and affect your future career choices.
 SKILLS
You’ve gained competencies (skills and knowledge) through many of
your life experiences.
Think about the skills that you’ve used inside and outside of the
classroom. You may have developed them through studies, extracurricular
activities, clubs, and life experiences unique to you.
