assumptions or hypotheses that allow you to explain the past
and predict the future.

1. Parson’s Theory – Frank Parsons is regarded as the
founder of the vocational guidance movement. He
developed the theory of matching careers to talents,
skills and personality. Parson noted that the people
perform best when they are in jobs suited to their
abilities and developed the talent-matching approach
.
2. Holland’s Theory – according to John Holland’s Theory
of Career Choice, careers are established by the
interaction between our personality and environment.
Something like, we want to work in jobs with people
like us. Holland believes that in choosing a career,
people prefer jobs where they can be around others
who are like them. They look for work that will let them
apply their skills and abilities, and express their
attitudes and values, while taking on enjoyable
problems and roles. Holland’s theory is focused on the
belief that most people belong to one of six personality
types: RIASEC (realistic / investigative / artistic / social
/ enterprising / conventional)

3. Super’s Theory – Donald Super introduced the

concept that developing a sense of self and realizing
that an individual change over time, is important when

events can lead to good careers. This is an optimistic
outlook can help turn destiny into opportunity. John

decisions in his clients. He said that indecision is
desirable and sensible, as it allows the prospect for
clients to benefit from unplanned occasions. This
theory is called planned happenstance.

Organizing Life Goals

- Goal setting usually involves short-term and long-term goals.

A short-term goal is one that can be accomplished in a short
amount of time. The key characteristic of a short-term career
planning is developing realistic goals and objectives that you
can accomplish in the near future. As you begin your career
planning, take the time to free yourself from all career barriers.

Long-term goal career planning usually involves a

development window of five years or longer and involves a
wider set of preparation.

When you set goals, make sure they are SMART:
