Successful Law Enforcement Career
I have been asked many times during my career, what I thought it took to excel in a Law Enforcement career and what I have done or learned
during my career. Below I have listed what was important to me, but also understanding this may not be how everyone else in this profession feels.
I do believe though that many of the traits I have noted have to be used in some sort to truly have a successful Law Enforcement Career. In my
opinion you have to have a passion for service to excel in this career. This passion comes from you, you either have it or you don't. You cannot
learn or teach passion. This trait to want to help others is more than just getting a pay check, wearing a uniform, and being a part of a brotherhood,
it is a true desire to make your community and the people in it better and to protect the people who cannot protect themselves. What a Deputy sees
in his/her career will take a toll on their physical and emotional wellbeing and if you do not have a true passion you cannot survive a whole
"successful" career in this field. In addition to passion you have to have balance. You need to have balance, with your family, your faith, and
yourself. The law enforcement OurOur divorce rate is high and one of the main reasons is because of there is no balance. If you spend all of your

Recruitment And Retention Of Nontraditional Students
Recruitment and Retention of Nontraditional Students
The reality for career technical educators with regard to broadening representation of both men and women in nontraditional careers is that there needs
to be a creative recruitment strategy designed that utilizes the enthusiasm and talents of successful role models (Lucci Jr., W., 2007). Effective
recruitment and teaching practices can help educators create learning situations that are conducive for all students to learn, especially those
nontraditional students in career clusters. Suggestions for recruiting nontraditional students include creating career–technical programs to reach all
students, presenting career clusters in a way that shows how career pathways can align with interests, giving students multiple opportunities to explore
both traditional and nontraditional careers. Educators should market career–technical programs to reach all students, making a concerted effort to
attract nontraditional students through the use of photos and graphics that show both genders and various races in careers at the technical and
professional levels (Clark, P., & Ohio State Univ., C. y., 2000).
In recruiting nontraditional students, intentionality and good planning are important. Unfortunately, lingering stereotypes often make the first step of
signing up for a class in a nontraditional area difficult. Strategies which are effective are those that understand and consider the target audience, provide
information in a way in which

Essay Analyzing Career Theories
It is simple to look at an individual's life and analyze and critique their choices based on our own opinions and experiences. Is that fair? No. We may
see their actions clearly but the reasoning behind these is what we should focus on when it comes to judging someone's behavior or circumstances. A
common judgment made about a person is based on their career. In our society, it would behoove us to look at the path that leads to becoming a doctor
instead of a drug dealer.
Application of career theories to my own life allows for analyzing past and future career decisions. Holland's Theory of Careers states that one's
vocation is an expression of self, personality, and way of life. There is an indisputable and fundamental ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Finally I reached the realistic period and I began to focus my education to prepare for a medical career. As I have evolved, I find it simpler to make
life–changing choices. I am exceedingly more decisive than in previous years because I am more secure with my internal self and due to my
experience, have the capacity to make educated decisions. TRANS Holland's Theory of Careers, while very useful, represents a societal failing.
Habitually we find ourselves judging people based on their preliminary persona; however, more often than not we find out that there is much more
under the surface. Many entertainers appear to be confident and outgoing, but basic psychology confirms that often their insecurities drive them to
seek approval and praise from the public that comes with those careers. Ginsberg and Super's Theories of Career Development have one major flaw.
This theory does not account for those individuals whom choose a career in childhood and never stray from their initial path. Whereas others come to
a standstill at one stage and never complete the process. Although the ability to consistently and effectively apply both of these theories in a myriad of
situations speak to their legitimacy, clearly it is necessary to seek other career theories to supplement ones conceptualization of this topic.
It can be difficult to judge what stage/level/period a person may be in

you should take into consideration my speech about how you can avoid this situation and start acting now.
Thesis: I will be stating some steps that will ensure you to be successful individuals and help you avoid the experience of being an unemployed college
graduate.
Relevancy: This topic pertains to all of us even me because were all college students and some of us are closer to graduation. As we individually

their services. Within the last week an estimated 30 students schedule an appointment or dropped in for advising into their office. In a school with

My Goals In My Life
The big question, "What do I want to do with my life?" floats through my mind more and more often as graduation approaches. I have many goals
and ambitions I wish to achieve after high school, but deciding something as important as what career I should pursue has brought me much
uneasiness. These past few months I have struggled to figure out what I am truly passionate about; however, as I mature I begin to find so much
fulfillment in helping others, both mentally and physically. Growing up with a sizable family is one of my most wonderful blessings. My family and
the environment that I have grown up in has had a tremendous impact on who I am and who I aspire to be. Both of my parents immigrated from
Mexico and became residents approximately twenty–five years ago. Neither of them graduated high school for distinct reasons. My dad now works
diligently to provide for us and my mom takes care of the house and our needs. They have taught me to put others before myself and have shaped
me into who I am today. My loved ones are one of my biggest inspirations. I strive to show them the person I can become and the impact that I can
have on others. Ever since I was a small child, I was fascinated with animals and every aspect of nature. For the longest time, I believed I would aim
to go into a field of animal science/research. As I grow into my own skin I have begun to find different passions within me. Leadership and service

Post Retirement Issues Experienced By Athletes Essay
The previous sections highlighted post–retirement issues experienced by athletes, (i.e., hardships, future concerns, identity issues, career planning
decisions, etc.). To summarize, the literature has consistently supported that most athletes struggle with retirement (Warriner & Lavallee, 2008;
McGannon & Mauws, 2000; & Reifsteck, 2011), and that athletes who are forced to retire may experience more transition–related difficulties than
those who are not (Lavallee, Gordon, & Grove, 1997; & Heird & Stienfeldt, 2013). Since the average age of athletic retirement is 33 years old
(Hadavi, 2011), most retired athletes are required to obtain a new occupation; however, most athletes have difficulty obtaining a job or feeling
competent once they find a job (Stephan, Bilard, Ninot, & Deligniers, 2003). Furthermore, Stephan, Bilard, Ninot and Delignieres (2003) found that
athletes revealed feelings of incompetence towards their new occupation that lasted as long as 8 months. Therefore, a review evaluating successful
career planning models in general is necessary, as there are few post–retirement career–planning models for athletes in existence (Lavallee, 2005;
Morris & Cherry, 2007; Stambulova, 2010). Prominent career planning models that will be discussed include Holland's theory of vocational
personalities, organizational investment, narrative career counseling, and social cognitive career theory.

He has fear around losing that stability. There is a part of him that is cycling back to earlier stages, but the logistics of his life are a huge consideration
for him. Several aspects of the interviewee's career are in congruence. Congruence is a part of Holland's (2014) theory that defines if an individual is
in an environment that fits their type. The interviewee does work in a creative environment, he does get to observe and investigate, and the use of
technology plays a role. Also, his work does require some tedious tasks, which is one thing that was named as a strength. Also, I could theorize that
this interviewee is at a level 3 in Holland's theory. I believe this to be true since he struggles with seeing himself making a job change. However,
certain aspects of the theorized MBTI preference would not necessarily be in congruence. The fact that he does not feel like there is room for growth
is one reason why his MBTI score might not fit well with what he is currently doing. Krumboltz (2014) theory could be useful for this client. This
theory normalizes anxiety and emphasizes the importance of meeting the client where they are. Given the want for change, but anxiety around

My Career As A Career
First starting this class I didn't know what exactly what I wanted to do with a career. I was between two careers trying to figure out what would be
best for me. The CIT career would be nice to learn something entirely new and at the same time tie it in with business some how. The problem I was
having is trying to figure out what I was going to do with it. Doing the first set of activities in this class allowed me to learn what I really wanted in a
job and what I can do with out. My career must allow me freedom to choose what I want to do to be able to create what I want. My career must allow
me to choose my own hours. Don't get me wrong that I will only work a little because I am going to put in hours around the clock. What I mean
with flexible hours is that if something comes up I will be able to work around it. It must also allow me to show leadership and call shot. Things
that aren't so important but still hold value is that my job should allow me not to work on Sunday. If I have to once in a while because there is no
way around it, that is understandable. My job should allow me to come home for dinner most nights and be with my family. It could be not stressful
but I deal with stress good and don't mind it. It could also be not dealing with so many angry people but I can handle them pretty will. The first option

Myers Brigg Type Indicator, And The Four Dimensions Of...
Myers–Brigg Type Indicator The Myers–Brigg Assessment, and the four dimensions of personality types based on the findings of Carl Jung, Isabel
Myers and Katharine Briggs, indicates Katie as an ISFJ (intuitive, sensing, feeling, and judging). People falling into this category are often known as
nurturers. Additionally, individuals of thispersonality type tend to be practical, and sensitive towards other's feelings. These traits make the ISFJ
personality ideal for careers such as counseling where they are needed to give practical and emotional support. ISFJ personality types are reliable, and
exhibit a strong sense of responsibility and duty (Sharf, 2013). Moreover, this personality type prefers organization, planning, and schedules, (Neukrug
& Fawcett, 2015); qualities that Katie has presented in her coaching positions. These characteristics have been noted in jobs that Katie has held.
Furthermore, ISFJ individuals carry high standards of work ethic (ISFJ–Introverted, Sensing, feeling, Judging). Careers where they serve others best
suit their personality style. Both of Katie's career pursuits necessitate serving others. ISFJ's are warm, sensitive to others feelings, and value kindness;
additional qualities essential qualities to being a genuine counselor and caring, nurturing, supportive coach (Portrait of an ISFJ, 2015).

I began to ponder the results and realized that this is the reason for my wide–range of noted talents. Another facet of the results that I would like to
mention is the careers of individuals with similar scores/results. Management analysts/consultants, librarians, and pharmacists all have similar scores

analyzing, as well as my desire for order, and my passion for the medical field and helping others. Though I find value in the assessment of oneself, not
all tests are equal in evaluation of the individual.

practical information at this point in my development. Whereas, I am convinced of their legitimacy and usefulness, it appears that this type of

Reflection On Career Development
A.This lesson mainly addressed aspects related to career development. This lesson encourages students to discover their academic and personal
strengths, their skillsets, and their interests. Students then take those concepts and apply them to career exploration. They are able to link their
strengths, preferences, and abilities to potential future career paths. Some of the specific aspects of career development that I addressed include
applying planning and career exploration in setting and obtaining lifelong career goals, applying necessary skills for career readiness and success, and
teaching students where and how to obtain information about post–secondary options. In this lesson students are encouraged to apply decision making
skills to place different careers into the appropriate career fields. In doing so, they are also encouraged to begin thinking about careers that are of
interest to them and what career goals they have for themselves. They will be given resources in order to continue career exploration outside of the
classroom. While I do not expect sixth graders to fully decide their career path, it is my firm belief that it is never too early to get students thinking
about careers and having them set goals in order to obtain the career and future that they desire. I also believe that this unit touches on social and
emotional development as well as academic development. This lesson allows the student to collaborate with one another and work in groups as well as
in pairs. This promotes relationship building and teamwork. It also allows students to take an inventory of their personal strengths and skillsets. This
could boost self–esteem and promotes a sense of self–awareness. Lastly, this unit also encompasses academic development. Students will understand
that good grades and academic success are key elements to obtaining the career that they wish to have. By being academically successful, this will allow
them greater options and opportunity post high school graduation.

How Career Is A Successful Internship
How to Accomplish a Successful Internship
For a college student, internship experience not only broadens one's horizons, but it also enriches one's resume. For me, an internship is a good way to
apply what I've learned at school to professional experience. While we students are seeking internship opportunities to qualify ourselves for good job
positions, figuring out what we have obtained from internship experience and preparing for future internships or jobs is even more important.
The book They Don't Teach Corporate in College gives me instructions of how to follow a successful career path. While combining my personal
internship experience with what I learned from the book, I have a better understanding of how to prepare, pursue and finally accomplish a successful
internship. To begin with, you need to know about yourself. Figuring out your strengths and weaknesses can help you find suitable fields and relevant
jobs quickly and accurately. I once worked as an assistant for a financial accountant in the Trade and Finance Department at Bank of China. One of the
reasons I got the internship was because the department desired interns who had good English writing skills. While I am an international student
studying in America, the manager thought I had the skills. Therefore, knowing about your skills and making the best use of them on your resumes can
lead to internship opportunities.

your biggest challenge working in recruitment? I think there will be several big challenges for someone working in recruitment. The biggest one I can
imagine would be facing rejection for a client. I believe that to be an elite recruiter, it is imperative to make personal connections with your clients
to ensure that you are doing is in the client's best interest. I can see myself getting personally invested in each of my clients, so giving them bad
news would definitely be in the upper tier of challenges working in recruitment for myself. I believe that handling rejection will be something I learn
as I progress in recruitment. On the flip side of this, being able to give a client good news is very rewarding in my mind and will be a motivational

John Holland's Typology Paper
Holland's Typology In the beginning, career counseling was strictly developed to help with job placement, but it became so much more than that after
the career development was further researched by a group of theorist that focused on career process. What is it that drives us to choose a specific
career path? According to Zunker (2012), different theorists such as Parsons, Holland, Krumboltz, Bandura, Super, and Gottfredson all developed
theories on career development and their perspective on the importance of occupational process. Throughout this paper one will discuss the John

Explanation and History John Holland was a remarkable psychologist that took special interest in career choice and personality traits. Holland's
career counseling perspective started while studying at the University of Minnesota for graduate school in counseling. In graduate school, was when
he discovered that people express personality in various ways (Nauta, 2010, p.12). He expressed that personality and career interests work together
somehow (Nauta, 2010). The John Holland's Typology "is the concept that one chooses a career to satisfy one's preferred modal personal orientation"
(Zunker, 2012, p. 27). He made two major points about how people are influenced for a career choice. The first point was that people search for an
environment that they can utilize their skills and abilities, and reveal their values and attitudes in the most influential way. The second point was that

Careers : A Career To Become A Successful Career
Careers Have you ever worried about your future? Do you want to pursue a successful career, but later figure out that you're not enjoying it? Or do
you want to have a not so successful career but absolutely love what you're doing? During high school, teachers put a lot of stress on students to find a
major that they are interested in, but many students are still uncertain on what they want to do past high school. Every since I was little, I wanted to
become a teacher. They have great hours but not so good pay. One of my teachers talked to me about becoming a pediatric nurse, but I'm not good with
anything medical. And my friend wants to become a dental hygienist, which makes me wonder if it would be good for me. In order to live a successful
life, I must have a solid career to support myself. Becoming a teacher, pediatric nurse, and dental hygienist all interest me, but which one do I want to
purse? Teachers build up and enrich knowledge into the next generation. They teach people new information everyday. Other than teaching, they have
lots of responsibilities. For example, they must grade their students work, prepare for the next chapter/lesson, and they must make sure their students
know and remember the previous lesson. Also, teachers must be able to communicate clearly with their students. There are many different types of
teachers. For example, you can teach special education, different types of technicals, the core classes, or you can teach every subject. In

contrasting them we can see a lot of differences and similarities. These are two of the most demanding choices and both have a variety of options.
Even though both careers demand sacrifice, discipline and pressure, it will depend on the student to choose a career that will go according to time and
cost available to spend and the income amount he wishes.
One of the most notable differences between these two vocations is time. It takes a lot of years to complete a medical career. Because these major
changes over time, new things get discovered such as medicine and cures. The basic studies begin with pre–medicine that takes at least 6 years and each

Medicine requires a lot of commitment and intelligence capability. It's entirely based on studying, working hard and persistence. Likewise, business

factors that affect it like the economy. Business is about playing with the economy to your advantage, being clever and able to handle the demand and

With today's changing world and the economy the way it is, it is not uncommon for people of all ages to enter the college setting. In fact, two–thirds of

student enrollment from 1991–1998 displaying 35% in 91 and 46% in 1998. These numbers have since increased according to Jacobson & Harris

Question # 2 Career Counseling can be beneficial to everyone that seeks employment. However, when seeking advice and assistance on something as
important as a career, people should know the credentials of the counselor. Many individuals that pursue career counseling follow a variety of code of
ethics and ethical guidelines according to Brown (2007). With this being said, it is important that career counseling practice should be regulated.
According to Porter, Gildon, & Zgliczynski (2000), people claiming to be counselors is a serious problem in the state of California because no
formal standards are set for appropriate licensure except for that of a marriage counselor. This lack of standards and credentials causes many
problems for those seeking advice and assistance with a particular problem. More importantly, the public is not protected even if they take a case to
court and the "counselor" is found guilty. What is to be taken away? He can continue to practice because he does not have a certificate to begin with.

Career Counseling Over the Lifespan Essay
Abstract
Career counseling over the lifespan has more than an occupational focus, it deals with the person's entire being with a vision that includes one's
lifespan. Career counseling takes into consideration character development, character skills, life roles, individual life and work history, goals, and
obstacles. Acareer counselor not only assists a client with a career plan, but also with a life plan. This paper focuses on two categories of career
counseling. The first focus is the history of career counseling as a field of study with the emphasis on when and why career counseling began (1800s
as a study of how the shape of one's head relates to vocational choice), who and what influenced it (Sizer, Parsons, and Davis), and how ... Show more

This has progressed to an approach that deals with career development throughout a lifespan (Pope, 2000). Theories and assessments have developed
that look at the many variables of work, personality, interests, and needs (Whiston, 2003). The study has broadened with the use of technology and has
been challenged by the many considerations of multiculturalism (Lewis & Coursol, 2007; Whiston, 2003). A creativeGod who modeled work and rest
created man and his relationship with work. Career counseling provides an opportunity to cultivate the relationship of God and man, assists with the
discovery of one's callings and talents, and enables one to fulfill God's plans for his or her life.
The History and Development of Career Counseling
Pope (2000) describes how social reform, economic change, and federal legislation were significant factors in the evolution of career counseling. The
development of career counseling began as a social movement linked to economic changes. In the early 1900s, young people were leaving the family
farms and moving to cities to find employment. With this new growth and few regulations of labor, laborers were exploited and misused. In the first
decade of the twentieth century, one–half million children from 10–13 years of age were employed in factories (Pope, 2000). The end of World War I
and the Depression influenced the beginning of educational guidance in the public school system.

Speech On Luck

were at a party and heard cocktail chatter about a fantastic job opportunity. They fortuitously knew a guy who knew a guy, etc.
The first century Roman philosopher Seneca said, "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." A lot of folks have echoed that
sentiment over the millennia. Luck favors those who don't depend upon it. Sure, some things are mostly about luck. Las Vegas comes to mind. But

5.Your job is just a paycheck. You do your job well. You're successful at it, and you feel secure. But there is no upward advancement. The thought of
doing this job for another 10 or 20 years is depressing.
If any of the above describes you, then you need a Career Plan. The best thing about working on your Plan is that you begin to feel like you're taking

In order to be considered successful many people believe that one must have a successful career. A successful career can range from teaching jobs,
manual labor jobs, business jobs and many more. Like many, ever since I can remember the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up has
been asked over and over again. What I have wanted to be has changed multiple times throughout the years. I'm sure at some point I wanted to be a

In addition to assessing my current state through skills assessments, such as ALIS, strength based assessments have been shown to be more useful for

their personal strengths. StrengthsQuest is being used across campuses and organizations to develop strength maps for project teams and working
groups. Strength maps help to identify strengths and weaknesses within a group plan and accordingly, plan for success.
When researching companies and average salaries, I often turn towards Glassdoor ("Glassdoor," 2016) as a source for company reviews, salaries and
company interview practises. The data curated on Glassdoor is maintained by current or former company employees which further reinforces the

Successful Law Enforcement Career

  • 1. Successful Law Enforcement Career I have been asked many times during my career, what I thought it took to excel in a Law Enforcement career and what I have done or learned during my career. Below I have listed what was important to me, but also understanding this may not be how everyone else in this profession feels. I do believe though that many of the traits I have noted have to be used in some sort to truly have a successful Law Enforcement Career. In my opinion you have to have a passion for service to excel in this career. This passion comes from you, you either have it or you don't. You cannot learn or teach passion. This trait to want to help others is more than just getting a pay check, wearing a uniform, and being a part of a brotherhood, it is a true desire to make your community and the people in it better and to protect the people who cannot protect themselves. What a Deputy sees in his/her career will take a toll on their physical and emotional wellbeing and if you do not have a true passion you cannot survive a whole "successful" career in this field. In addition to passion you have to have balance. You need to have balance, with your family, your faith, and yourself. The law enforcement OurOur divorce rate is high and one of the main reasons is because of there is no balance. If you spend all of your time with your "Cop Buddies"...

  • 2. Recruitment And Retention Of Nontraditional Students Recruitment and Retention of Nontraditional Students The reality for career technical educators with regard to broadening representation of both men and women in nontraditional careers is that there needs to be a creative recruitment strategy designed that utilizes the enthusiasm and talents of successful role models (Lucci Jr., W., 2007). Effective recruitment and teaching practices can help educators create learning situations that are conducive for all students to learn, especially those nontraditional students in career clusters. Suggestions for recruiting nontraditional students include creating career–technical programs to reach all students, presenting career clusters in a way that shows how career pathways can align with interests, giving students multiple opportunities to explore both traditional and nontraditional careers. Educators should market career–technical programs to reach all students, making a concerted effort to attract nontraditional students through the use of photos and graphics that show both genders and various races in careers at the technical and professional levels (Clark, P., & Ohio State Univ., C. y., 2000). In recruiting nontraditional students, intentionality and good planning are important. Unfortunately, lingering stereotypes often make the first step of signing up for a class in a nontraditional area difficult. Strategies which are effective are those that understand and consider the target audience, provide information in a way in which ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Essay Analyzing Career Theories It is simple to look at an individual's life and analyze and critique their choices based on our own opinions and experiences. Is that fair? No. We may see their actions clearly but the reasoning behind these is what we should focus on when it comes to judging someone's behavior or circumstances. A common judgment made about a person is based on their career. In our society, it would behoove us to look at the path that leads to becoming a doctor instead of a drug dealer. Application of career theories to my own life allows for analyzing past and future career decisions. Holland's Theory of Careers states that one's vocation is an expression of self, personality, and way of life. There is an indisputable and fundamental ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Finally I reached the realistic period and I began to focus my education to prepare for a medical career. As I have evolved, I find it simpler to make life–changing choices. I am exceedingly more decisive than in previous years because I am more secure with my internal self and due to my experience, have the capacity to make educated decisions. TRANS Holland's Theory of Careers, while very useful, represents a societal failing. Habitually we find ourselves judging people based on their preliminary persona; however, more often than not we find out that there is much more under the surface. Many entertainers appear to be confident and outgoing, but basic psychology confirms that often their insecurities drive them to seek approval and praise from the public that comes with those careers. Ginsberg and Super's Theories of Career Development have one major flaw. This theory does not account for those individuals whom choose a career in childhood and never stray from their initial path. Whereas others come to a standstill at one stage and never complete the process. Although the ability to consistently and effectively apply both of these theories in a myriad of situations speak to their legitimacy, clearly it is necessary to seek other career theories to supplement ones conceptualization of this topic. It can be difficult to judge what stage/level/period a person may be in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Journaling Reflection 1. The first resources that I've learned from this course are using the multiple job websites online, we've had excellent communication between classmates on how we can benefit from using these sites out and look for specific jobs in our area. This will assist in work as a counselor because it will help in my networking about the city I currently work in and learning about how to make my resume stick out. The second fact that I've learned in this course is finding balance in your life so that you can go through the stay focused, during the semester, we had the good discussion about a thing in our life that we enjoy. This all comes down to balance and taking care of ourselves so that we can stay sharp overall. The third fact that I took away from the cause is the process of helping at the veterans in our community; we talked in this course about resources in our society that will assist people that have served in the way. Certain things like VA hospitals and helping them deal with their past trauma. The fourth resource that I took away from this course is learning about the multiple career counseling theories; this will assist in my communication and helping with my client as it relates to their future goals. The fourth fact that I learned from this course is the importance of self–care and making sure every day you are taking good care of yourself to function adequately in general. The fifth fact I took away from this course is how journaling is vital when it comes to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Therefore, you should take into consideration my speech about how you can avoid this situation and start acting now. Thesis: I will be stating some steps that will ensure you to be successful individuals and help you avoid the experience of being an unemployed college graduate. Relevancy: This topic pertains to all of us even me because were all college students and some of us are closer to graduation. As we individually approach our graduations, we need to prepare for the next stage in our paths. Sometimes it's hard to admit that we need some assistance before taking off in our careers. Credibility: While I was conducting my research, I was fortunate to get more insight from Jenna Heath, a career professional in the Career Services office. I was able to learn more about the services they offer and conclude my theory of how beneficial it is to seek their resources. More introductory information: I conducted an in–person survey interview with Jenna from Career Services who gave me more insight of how undergraduate students are utilizing their services.

  • 9. My Goals In My Life The big question, "What do I want to do with my life?" floats through my mind more and more often as graduation approaches. I have many goals and ambitions I wish to achieve after high school, but deciding something as important as what career I should pursue has brought me much uneasiness. These past few months I have struggled to figure out what I am truly passionate about; however, as I mature I begin to find so much fulfillment in helping others, both mentally and physically. Growing up with a sizable family is one of my most wonderful blessings. My family and the environment that I have grown up in has had a tremendous impact on who I am and who I aspire to be. Both of my parents immigrated from Mexico and became residents approximately twenty–five years ago. Neither of them graduated high school for distinct reasons. My dad now works diligently to provide for us and my mom takes care of the house and our needs. They have taught me to put others before myself and have shaped me into who I am today. My loved ones are one of my biggest inspirations. I strive to show them the person I can become and the impact that I can have on others. Ever since I was a small child, I was fascinated with animals and every aspect of nature. For the longest time, I believed I would aim to go into a field of animal science/research. As I grow into my own skin I have begun to find different passions within me. Leadership and service have taken a great role in my high school life and both ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 10. Post Retirement Issues Experienced By Athletes Essay The previous sections highlighted post–retirement issues experienced by athletes, (i.e., hardships, future concerns, identity issues, career planning decisions, etc.). To summarize, the literature has consistently supported that most athletes struggle with retirement (Warriner & Lavallee, 2008; McGannon & Mauws, 2000; & Reifsteck, 2011), and that athletes who are forced to retire may experience more transition–related difficulties than those who are not (Lavallee, Gordon, & Grove, 1997; & Heird & Stienfeldt, 2013). Since the average age of athletic retirement is 33 years old (Hadavi, 2011), most retired athletes are required to obtain a new occupation; however, most athletes have difficulty obtaining a job or feeling competent once they find a job (Stephan, Bilard, Ninot, & Deligniers, 2003). Furthermore, Stephan, Bilard, Ninot and Delignieres (2003) found that athletes revealed feelings of incompetence towards their new occupation that lasted as long as 8 months. Therefore, a review evaluating successful career planning models in general is necessary, as there are few post–retirement career–planning models for athletes in existence (Lavallee, 2005; Morris & Cherry, 2007; Stambulova, 2010). Prominent career planning models that will be discussed include Holland's theory of vocational personalities, organizational investment, narrative career counseling, and social cognitive career theory. Holland's theory of vocational choice has become highly successful, since its ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 11. Career Theories Based Off Information Career Theories Based off information received in the interview, it appears that artistic (A) would likely be his strongest area in the Holland code. He enjoys activities that allow him to be creative. This is true in work and in leisure. He currently enjoys the creativity in his work, and enjoyed it as a cook, as well. Plus, he enjoys painting and music. His artistic side was a theme throughout the interview. While the artistic side is clear, I would also theorize that he could fall under investigative (I) and (C) He enjoys taking things apart and putting them back together again (I) and he is good with tedious tasks and technology (C). Potentially, he could be an AIC. Furthermore, I would theorize that his MBTIpreference could be an ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... He has fear around losing that stability. There is a part of him that is cycling back to earlier stages, but the logistics of his life are a huge consideration for him. Several aspects of the interviewee's career are in congruence. Congruence is a part of Holland's (2014) theory that defines if an individual is in an environment that fits their type. The interviewee does work in a creative environment, he does get to observe and investigate, and the use of technology plays a role. Also, his work does require some tedious tasks, which is one thing that was named as a strength. Also, I could theorize that this interviewee is at a level 3 in Holland's theory. I believe this to be true since he struggles with seeing himself making a job change. However, certain aspects of the theorized MBTI preference would not necessarily be in congruence. The fact that he does not feel like there is room for growth is one reason why his MBTI score might not fit well with what he is currently doing. Krumboltz (2014) theory could be useful for this client. This theory normalizes anxiety and emphasizes the importance of meeting the client where they are. Given the want for change, but anxiety around changing careers – this could be beneficial for the interviewee. It appears to be a more holistic approach that I believe would work well for this individual. This particular person is currently struggling with decision–making and Krumboltz does not view ...

  • 12. My Career As A Career First starting this class I didn't know what exactly what I wanted to do with a career. I was between two careers trying to figure out what would be best for me. The CIT career would be nice to learn something entirely new and at the same time tie it in with business some how. The problem I was having is trying to figure out what I was going to do with it. Doing the first set of activities in this class allowed me to learn what I really wanted in a job and what I can do with out. My career must allow me freedom to choose what I want to do to be able to create what I want. My career must allow me to choose my own hours. Don't get me wrong that I will only work a little because I am going to put in hours around the clock. What I mean with flexible hours is that if something comes up I will be able to work around it.

People falling into this category are often known as nurturers. Additionally, individuals of thispersonality type tend to be practical, and sensitive towards other's feelings. These traits make the ISFJ personality ideal for careers such as counseling where they are needed to give practical and emotional support. ISFJ personality types are reliable, and exhibit a strong sense of responsibility and duty (Sharf, 2013). Moreover, this personality type prefers organization, planning, and schedules, (Neukrug & Fawcett, 2015); qualities that Katie has presented in her coaching positions.

  • 15. Reflection On Career Development A.This lesson mainly addressed aspects related to career development. This lesson encourages students to discover their academic and personal strengths, their skillsets, and their interests. Students then take those concepts and apply them to career exploration. They are able to link their strengths, preferences, and abilities to potential future career paths. Some of the specific aspects of career development that I addressed include applying planning and career exploration in setting and obtaining lifelong career goals, applying necessary skills for career readiness and success, and teaching students where and how to obtain information about post–secondary options. In this lesson students are encouraged to apply decision making skills to place different careers into the appropriate career fields. In doing so, they are also encouraged to begin thinking about careers that are of interest to them and what career goals they have for themselves. They will be given resources in order to continue career exploration outside of the classroom. While I do not expect sixth graders to fully decide their career path, it is my firm belief that it is never too early to get students thinking about careers and having them set goals in order to obtain the career and future that they desire. I also believe that this unit touches on social and emotional development as well as academic development. This lesson allows the student to collaborate with one another and work in groups as well as in pairs. This promotes relationship building and teamwork. It also allows students to take an inventory of their personal strengths and skillsets. This could boost self–esteem and promotes a sense of self–awareness. Lastly, this unit also encompasses academic development. Students will understand that good grades and academic success are key elements to obtaining the career that they wish to have. By being academically successful, this will allow them greater options and opportunity post high school graduation.

For me, an internship is a good way to apply what I've learned at school to professional experience. While we students are seeking internship opportunities to qualify ourselves for good job positions, figuring out what we have obtained from internship experience and preparing for future internships or jobs is even more important.
