Initial Task: THE CAREER WHEEL

Male

Write about your career wheel. Answer the following questions:

 1. How did you go about naming events, situations, needs and facts about
yourself? Were there challenges in doing this? If so, what are these challenges?

Maybe for me in a past experience,because every experience in life there is a lot

of lesson on that to learned, that you may know and understand hindi kana
maging ignorante sa sarili mo when it comes na da daan yan ulit sayo, like
mga pasakit sa buhay mo, words na bago mo lang narinig, pweding
makatulong sayo.

2. Looking at these many facets in your life, which among them do you think are
major considerations when deciding on future career options? Why would you
consider these as a source of great impact?

Maybe the situation or hard work of my parents, like they really work
hard to for me to give me a future, I want to be a successful person in a
young age, para maka tulong narin ako at makabawi sa lahat ng
ginawang hirap nila sakin, at ako naman ang mag aalaga sa kanila. i
inspired to them, my parents is my source of energy, to fight and make a
decision better. And also I follow some of my decision because that was
my like so I need to follow my own to understand what’s the like I want.

3. Which are the areas that will really work to your advantage in relation to the
career options that you are considering? How will these impact your choices?

Maybe when I am alone, because I can make decisions in life that will help
every trend of my dreams, especially when I am having a hard time, I just cry
the tired secretly, as long as I can finish study, I just finish everything I do

4. What are your realizations after this exercise?

It it all about to my future, or what career I want, and remembered me that I am

not alone in every fight for my future there is so many people who support me
and help me to stand up again, on the days of struggles and problems.

Activating Prior Knowledge

Big Question: How do personal/internal factors influence your career
choices?
Maybe in every event I go through, because I feel I will be attracted to things, that I feel I
can help people or things, that inspire me, be like that, like them, but now I do not
compare myself, because I want to be unique, I want to be the one who makes my
dream without looking at others, I want that after I can commit that it will also help my
life that I will not really regret that I chose that, not the one I chose you only do that
because you want to be like them.

Reading: CAREER CONCEPTS

A career is defined as the combination and sequence of roles played by a person

during the course of a lifetime (Super, 1980). Your career basically dictates a lot of things
in your life – it can determine the kind of lifestyle that you will be leading, the quality of
relationships that you have with people around you like your family and friends, the
kind of balance you will be able to keep with your life and your responsibilities.

There are two other concepts that we often associate with the concept of career.
One is a job. A job is a position an individual holds doing specific duties. For example, if
you would look closely at the job of a lawyer, you can say that a lawyer’s job is working
as an associate in X Law Firm.

Another term is occupation. An occupation is defined as the similar work for

which people have similar responsibilities and for which they develop a common set of
skills and knowledge. For example, people who are in the mental health occupation
would include psychologists, clinical psychologists, counselors, and psychiatrists.

A lot of things can influence one’s career choice. A popular career development
model, the Trait and Factor model, believes that skills and abilities need to fit the
demands of a particular career field. This being said, it is then important that you take
stock of the skills, knowledge and abilities that you currently possess and those that you
still need to develop as these greatly impacts that kind of career that could be a good
match for you.

Another factor that could influence your success in a particular career field
would be your personality and interests. John Holland, a popular career counselor
proposed a theory that strongly believe that certain careers require certain personality
traits and must also fit our interests.

Our life roles are yet strong factors that influences our career choices. Your role as a
child, a sister, a student, and eventually if you choose it, that of a parent would have an impact
in the decisions that you would have to make as an adult. Donald Super, another career
development theorist believes that since we play an array of roles in our lives, these roles are
likely to change over time thus requirements, needs and other external forces would come into
play when we are trying to figure out or maintain a career.
 One’s race and ethnicity could also impact our choices. The culture in which we belong
to shape our values and expectations. In the Philippines, our collectivist orientation makes our
family a strong influence in our career decisions. More often than not, the choice of course to
take in college, the location of our job, how strong-willed we will be in achieving great heights
in our career, would most likely be influenced by our family roles, duties and obligations.

Our social identity, specifically our gender, also possess challenges and opportunities for
us when choosing a career. Although nowadays, the gender divide in terms of careers have
slowly narrowed, it is a known fact that men and women experiences career-related
stereotypes.

One of the strongest considerations in career decision making has a lot to do with social
and economic conditions. Our choice of career is contingent to our capabilities to sustain the
monetary demands of pursuing formal education to train for it. Also, our financial obligations
and roles likewise would determine the kind of occupation we would be pursuing in order to
fulfill these duties. Furthermore, certain life events can also influence our career choices. The
unpredictability of these events may cause us to make certain concessions in order to meet the
demands brought about by these changes. Likewise, the volatile economic landscape and how it
impacts that supply and demand for people and jobs may also impact how our careers would
progress.

Lastly, we are so familiar with the question “What do you want to be when you grow
up?”. It is highly probable that these childhood fantasies may have influenced how you view
yourself and your career.

Reading: WHAT INFLUENCES YOUR CAREER CHOICE?

By Melissa Venable
When we think about career choice, several things immediately come to mind

- Job description, training and education required, career outlook, and salary - but there are a
number of other factors that may influence your decisions. Let's explore some of these factors as
addressed by multiple career development theories. Theories can help us frame why and how
things happen. In this case, career development theories help us explain why and how we
choose to pursue specific career fields.

There are a lot of theories to consider in the relatively new field of career development.
As you read through the factors below, you'll see that many of the related theories address
some of the same issues. No one theory explains everything, so it's good to consider these
factors from multiple perspectives.

Influence Factors

Skills and Abilities - Considering your skills and abilities and how they may fit a
particular occupation comes out of one of the earliest career development fields, Trait-Factor
theories, and is still used today. These theories recommend creating occupational profiles for
specific jobs as well as identifying individual differences, matching individuals to occupations
based on these differences. You can identify activities you enjoy and those in which you have a
level of competency though a formal assessment.

Interest and Personality Type - Holland's Career Typology is a widely used to connect
personality types and career fields. This theory establishes a classification system that matches
personality characteristics and personal preferences to job characteristics. The Holland Codes
are six personality/career types that help describe a wide range of occupations.
Life Roles - Being a worker is just one of your life roles, in addition to others such as,
student, parent, and child. Super's Lifespan theory directly addresses the fact that we each play
multiple roles in our lives and that these roles change over the course of our lives. How we
think about ourselves in these roles, their requirements of them, and the external forces that
affect them, may influence how we look at careers in general and how we make choices for
ourselves.
 Previous Experiences - Krumboltz's Social Learning and Planned Happenstance theories
address factors related to our experiences with others and in previous work situations. Having
positive experiences and role models working in specific careers may influence the set of careers
we consider as options for ourselves. One aspect of Social Cognitive Career Theory addresses
the fact that we are likely to consider continuing a particular task if we have had a positive
experience doing it. In this way, we focus on areas in which we have had proven success and
achieved positive self-esteem.

Culture- Racial and ethnic background, as well as the culture of an individual's regional
area, local community, and extended family, may impact career decisions. Our culture often
shapes our values and expectations as they relate to many parts of our lives, including jobs and
careers. Multicultural career counseling has emerged as a specialized field to take these
influences into consideration when counseling clients and students. We can't attribute the
predominant characteristics of a culture to any one of its individuals, but having an awareness
of the values and expectations of our culture may help us understand how we make our career
choices.

Gender - Both men and women have experienced career-related stereotypes. Gender is a
factor included in multiple career development theories and approaches including, Social
Learning and multicultural career counseling. How we view ourselves as individuals may
influence both the opportunities and barriers we perceive as we make career decisions. Studies
of gender and career development are ongoing as roles of men and women in the workforce,
and in higher education, evolve.

Social and Economic Conditions - All of our career choices take place within the context
of society and the economy. Several career theories, such as Social Cognitive Career Theory and
Social Learning, address this context in addition to other factors. Events that take place in our
lives may affect the choices available to us and even dictate our choices to a certain degree.
Changes in the economy and resulting job market may also affect how our careers develop.

Childhood Fantasies - What do you want to be when you grow-up? You may remember
this question from your childhood, and it may have helped shape how you thought about
careers then, as well as later in life. Career counseling theories are expanding as programs
related to career choice are developed for all ages, including the very young. Ginzberg proposed
a theory that describes three life stages related to career development. The first stage, fantasy,
where early ideas about careers are formed, takes place up to age 11.
Work with your career counselor!
It’s important to understand that career choice is not made based on any one factor. Our
choices are subject to many influences – individual, cultural, social, and environmental. The
combination and interaction of various influences on your decision-making are unique to you
and your situation. There may also be multiple options, several “good-fits” for you, instead of
a single, right choice. Keep in mind that as you change, learning and experiencing new things,
and external factors change, such as the economy, you will continue to revise and fine-tune
your career choices.

There is a lot to consider, but you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Work
with a career services counselor at your institution’s career center. These professionals will be
able to assist you with assessments and additional resources, and discuss how different
theories may be applied to your career development process.

Reading: SUPER’S CAREER DEVELOPMENT THEORY

Donald Super influenced the idea that developing a sense of self and realize that you
change over time is important when planning your career.

One of Donald Super's greatest contributions to career development has been his
emphasis on the importance of the development of self-concept. According to Super, self-
concept changes over time, and develops as a result of experience. As such, career
development is lifelong.
 Super developed the theories and work of colleague Eli Ginzberg. Ginzberg’s theory
enumerated three stages in a person’s career development: Fantasy (from birth to 11 years old),
Tentative (from 11-17 years old), and Realistic (after age 17). Super thought that Ginzberg’s
work had weaknesses, which he wanted to address. Super extended Ginzberg’s life and career
development stages from three to five, and included different sub stages.

Super argues that occupational preferences and competencies, along with an individual’s
life situations, all change with time and experience. Super developed the concept of vocational
maturity, which may or may not correspond to chronological age: people cycle through each of
these stages when they go through career transitions.

Super’s five life and career development stages

Stage Age Characteristics

Growth birth-14 Development of self-concept, attitudes, needs and

general world of work

Exploration 15-24 "Trying out" through classes, work

hobbies. Tentative choice and skill development

Establishment 25-44 Entry-level skill building and stabilization through

work experience

Maintenance 45-64 Continual adjustment process to improve position

Decline 65+ Reduced output, prepare for retirement

Developmental tasks at these different stages

Decline Giving less time Reducing sports Focusing on Reducing working

to hobbies participation essentials hours

Maintenance Verifying current Making Holding one's own Keeping what one

occupational occupational against competition enjoys

choice position secure

Establishment Getting started Settling down in a Developing new Doing things one

 Exploration Learning more Finding desired Identifying new Finding a good

about opportunity tasks to work on retirement place

opportunities

Growth Developing a Learning to relate Accepting one's own Developing and

realistic self- to others limitations valuing non-

concept occupational roles

Super states that in making a vocational choice individuals are expressing their self-
concept, or understanding of self, which evolves over time. People seek career
satisfaction through work roles in which they can express themselves and further
implement and develop their self-concept.

 Final Task:

Assessment Profile
Summarize what you have learned about yourself in relation to your career choices. Answer the
following process questions:

1. What were your thoughts while you were accomplishing the assessment tools? Were
there challenges/difficulties? If so, what were these challenges? Did you find some of
the tools/questions easy to answer? Why was this so?

Yes because I forget my self, because of busy life, that’s why I have a hard time
finding myself again because of the piles of piles of work, but it's okay I also know
that it's just part of reaching the dream that you will have to struggle sometimes

2. Hearing your classmates share their scores, what points where you were alike? How
did this make you feel about your own profile? Were there interesting differences? How
did this make you feel? What did you realize while hearing your classmates share their
scores?

For me I think, they review before the quiz or exam,parang nakaka inspire rin
wag kang mag pahiya if they ask what score they like and magsikap ka na
even they don’t ask you about scores then prove it, aka nila na, kung ayaw
nila sayaw, edi gumawa ka ng magandang paraan para maging gusto sila
sayo, ikaw ang gumawa ng unang hakbang para they like you too, in short
be the best wag yung ikaw yung pumapalakpak do your best na dapat ikaw
yung pinapalakpakan

3. What areas do you think you need improvement on? How do you think will you go
about improving them? Give concrete examples.

For me is on the cooperation make your self better than others, make your
self first even not, be unique to others, make your own style of
improvements, hindi yung copy kanang copy sa ibang tao ang pangit, make
your self a good to others, make your self that others inspired you because
you are unique eh

4. What realizations do you have after seeing the whole picture based on the different
areas where you were assessed? How do you think will this information be relevant to
your career decision?

It can help me to think more about being mature, also about to my future life soon, I know
already how to make a way for my decision not my own but also makakatulong din sa iba,
decision na hindi unfair sa iba, but decision that can help to be a better person to others
into your self.
