7. MYTHS ABOUT CAREER PLANNING
These myths are people’s beliefs
regarding career choice of a person
based on tradition. Some may be true,
while majority are
completely fictional and
are only false beliefs.

8. MYTH #1: Selecting what's 'hot' at the moment is safe
(Fact: What's hot today may not necessarily be
10/20 years later)
Selecting a major or pursuing a career just because it's hot
can be dangerous. There are two things you must
understand before opting for this approach. First, what is
'hot' today may cool down, or disappear completely, in the
near future. Secondly, such a choice fails to take into
account the interests and abilities of the student, or the
kind of environment in which they are most likely to
succeed.

9. MYTH #2: Career assessments / counselors will not be of any use for me
(Fact: You must know what your aptitude is
before choosing a career)
Psychometric Assessments (Aptitude Test) can provide
additional information that may be helpful as a part of
the career planning process. Assessments would provide
a clear idea as to ones aptitude, strengths and weakness
and their mental capabilities, which aids in selecting a
career.

10. MYTH #3: If X is happy in a particular field, I will be happy too
(Fact: You are not X.)
Everyone is different and what works for one
person won't necessarily work for another, even if
that other person is someone with whom you have
a lot in common.

11. MYTH #4: Making a lot of money will make me happy
(Fact: The ingredients of fulfilling career also includes
passion and commitment to growth)
While salary is important, it isn't the only factor you
should look at when choosing a career. Countless
surveys have shown that money doesn't necessarily
lead to job satisfaction. For many people enjoying
what they do at work is much more important.

12. MYTH #5: If I wait long enough, luck will eventually bring me to the
right career
(Fact: Procrastination is no substitute for laziness)
It is unlikely that you will just "bump into" the occupation
that will perfectly match your skills and interests. The
more information you gather about yourself and the
occupations you are considering, the more likely it is you
will make a wise career decision.

13. MYTH #6: I will decide after the results are out
(Fact: Impulsive decisions results to lack of planning
and direction)
Deciding after graduation sometimes leads to impulsive
decisions as, the earlier educational qualification may
not be applicable to the area of work that you plan to
pursue in later life. Planning in advance prepares you
better to deal with the If-and-Or situations better.

14. BEWARE OF FALSE KNOWLEDGE; IT IS
MORE DANGEROUS THAN
IGNORANCE.
-George Bernard Shaw

15. INTERNAL FACTORS
THAT AFFECTS THE CAREER
CHOICE OF A PERSON

17. PASSION, INTEREST, & HOBBY
Passion, interests, and
hobbies can significantly
impact an individual's
career decisions as they
help navigate toward
enjoyable and engaging
choices.

18. SKILLS AND ABILITIES
Skills and abilities refer
to the specific talents,
knowledge, and
expertise an individual
possesses through
education, training, or
on-the-job experience.

19. PERSONAL VALUES
Personal and work values are
fundamental beliefs and
principles that guide our
attitudes and behaviors toward
our work and personal life.
These values play a crucial role
in shaping an individual's career
pathway as they provide
direction and purpose, helping
individuals align their career
choices with their values.

20. EARLY AGE ENCOURAGEMENT AND INFLUENCE
The support and
encouragement a
person receives during
childhood can shape
their beliefs, values, and
attitudes toward their
career choices.

21. EARLY JOB EXPERIENCES
Early work experiences, such
as summer jobs or
internships, provide exposure
to different industries, work
environments, and job roles,
and help to gain insights into
one’s interests, strengths, and
weaknesses.

22. FINANCIAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITATIONS
Financial limitations such as
the inability to afford the
cost of college or training
programs can restrict
someone from gaining the
necessary education for
their desired career path.

23. Internal factors play
a crucial role in
shaping an
individual's career
pathway. It is
essential to
periodically reassess
one's internal factors
and adjust the career
pathway

24. 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.
⮚ According to Super, self-concept changes over
time, and develops as a result of experience.

26. 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.

27. "If it scares you, it might
be a good thing to try."
- Seth Godin
