What is career development?
"Career is the progress or actions taken by a
person throughout their lifetime, especially
those related to that person’s occupation.”

“Career development is a lifetime process.”

According to Baer, Flexer, Luft, and Simmons
(2008) An individual will make many career
choices and probably struggle between
choosing what is best for them.

aptitude tests and to provide career
counseling. Frank Parson and E.G
Williamson were the proponents of this
idea in the early 1900s. This theory
states that a person can choose a
future career or job if it matches
their abilities, standards, morals,
interests, and even personality.

Decision

This theory is consistent with Albert

Bandura's theory of self-efficacy as a
behavior predictor. Bandura also
considers self-efficacy to be a
component of motivation. Self-efficacy
is the belief in one's ability to
complete a task. The theory goes
beyond the idea that a person has
control over his or her own thoughts,
beliefs, and actions.

S-SPECIFIC
- Make your goals specific and narrow for more
effective planning

To make a goal specific, the five “W”

questions must be considered:

Who is involved in this goal?

What do I want to accomplish?
Where is this goal to be achieved?
When do I want to achieve this goal?
Why do I want to achieve this goal?
M-MEASURABLE
- Define what evidence will prove you’re making
progress and reevaluate when necessary

To make a goal measurable, ask yourself:

How many/much?
How do I know if I have reached my goal?
What is my indicator of progress?
A-ATTAINABLE
- Make sure you can reasonably accomplish your
goal within a certain time frame

Consider the following questions:

Do I have the necessary resources and

ability to complete the task? What am I
missing if not?
Is it something that others have done
successfully before?
R-RELEVANT
- Your goals should align with your values and
long term objectives. Consider whether or not
your goals are relevant when setting them for
yourself. Each of your objectives should be in line
with your values and long-term objectives.
T-TIME BASED
- Set a realistic, ambitious end-date for task
prioritization and motivation.

Consider the following questions:

Is there a time limit on my goal?

When do you want to reach your
objective?
