Editor's Notes
- Purpose – research in the area of career planning points to the need of building a strong understanding of oneself before making a career choice. As far back as 1909 when Frank Parson began talking about vocational counseling and how to choose the career wisely, he said that the first step should be to have “a clear understanding of your aptitudes, abilities, interests, ambitions, resources, limitations, and their causes”. More recently in a research conducted by the Harvard Business School Club of N.Y., it was found that there is a high correlation between self understanding and career satisfaction (Burton & Wedemeyer, 1991). In addition, self assessment helps you identify where you are now in terms of skills and the background you will need to achieve your career goals. Types - Self assessment will help you identify your abilities (what you can do), your values (what is important for you), your interests (what you enjoy doing), and your personality type or traits. Examples – following transpareny
- Societal Influence on Career Choice – Career planning does not happen in a vacuum. Your life situations influences the decisions you make. The society in which you group up (culture), your family background, your peers, your neighborhood, and the way you feel about yourself all influences your decisions. These factors can influence you in a positive, encouraging way or it may impact your decisions in a negative way, holding you back. The way you feel about yourself and what you can do plays a major role in your decisions, and the way you feel about yourself comes from your upbringing, your previous experiences. Gender Roles – gender roles have changed significantly in the past 30 years. Years ago, women’ s careers were concentrated in teaching, nursing. Today, women can enter any field they like, although in some of them, they are in the lower-paying jobs . Equity in pay is still an issue as women earn 75 cents for every dollar earned by man. There is still the old mentality that men have to earn more because they are the bread winners and providers. The women is not a stay-home mom anymore and the male is the only bread winner. Today, many single mothers are head of households and the only bread winner in the family. Man’s role is beginning to change. Many balance better their work and family schedules to take an active role in raising the children since the women is often working as well. Part of the problem is being able to afford day care , or in many cases, not wanting to leave the children with strangers. The New Job Market – You have to know what to expect in the new job market. It is quite different than what it was for our parents. Today the job market is knowledge and skill-based meaning that employers want people who are trained and ready to go. As organizations downsize or flatten, employees must possess multiple skills such as the ability to learn, to adapt to new changes, and to learn and use new technologies . Today, we depend so much on technology that we don’t stop to think about it anymore. Technology has affected where and how we do our work, or even take courses. Some of the careers you might be thinking about are directly related to technology, such as computer programmer; others are indirectly related and use technology on a daily basis. Today, there are very few jobs (maybe, low-paying jobs) that do not rely on the use of technology. These new trends require highly skilled workers and workers who are adaptable to different work schedules, to travel. This new job market is also global international ). Employees wishing to advance in this new international economy must have the ability to speak more than one language and understand the cultural customs of other countries. Today’s job market is more culturally diverse than ever, and it will increase further in the years to come. To remain competitive, companies are learning to view and respect diversity as an important component of the workplace. Many are offering training on diversity to enable workers of differing backgrounds, educational levels, physical abilities and cultures to accept and value one another. They are realizing that society in general, and their business in particular, can benefit from the fullest utilization of all its citizens and their many different talents. Need for Life-long Learning – More important than knowing what jobs will be available is being flexible – having the ability to adapt to a fast changing job market. It is estimated that 40% of the jobs that will be available in the year 2010 have yet to be created. Learning how to learn new skills will be crucial to maintain yourself competitive, whether you move to different jobs or remain in the same one, you will need to learn new technologies and skills. The days where formal education ended with the bachelor or graduate degree have disappeared.
