What is Career?
Career is one of the most important aspects which all of us are concerned
about in our entire life. According to Advance Learner’s Dictionary, career
means a profession or occupation giving us multitudes of opportunities for
promotion. Occupation means a job or an employment. It helps us to earn a
livelihood or profession. It also means paid occupation, especially one
that requires advanced education and training, e.g. architecture, law,
engineering or medicine, etc. So a career is not simply a job, an
employment to earn a livelihood. A job is a certain position an individual
hold 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. A job or profession or an employment can be called a career
only when it gives opportunity for progress and advancement as human needs
gradually changing. Moreover, a job or employment to be called as a career
must offer adequate opportunities to satisfy or meet those changing needs.
Thus, a job or profession must be dynamic enough to fulfil one’s
aspirations or ambitions before calling it a career in real terms.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN CHOOSING FUTURE CAREER

1. Intelligence
Intelligence comprises your I.Q., Social Intelligence and Emotional
Intelligence (E.Q.). The Total intelligence is more important to be
successful in life and career than simply having a high I.Q. There are
many instances where an academically brilliant executive, considered a
genius in his field but had failed miserably in his career. He failed
because he did not have required social intelligence and emotional
stability.

2. Personality
A person may be an Introvert or Extrovert. One can be a
Dominating personality or Submissive personality. If you are an
Introvert, you should not select a career that needs people with
Extrovert nature. You may be too social or you prefer to be lonesome to
do creative work. Only you can judge your personality and choose what is
best for you. So always give to your personality factor while deciding
on your future career.

3. Interest
All work is hard unless you care for it, show interest and have
passion in it. You may have the ability, aptitude, financial backing or
any other support but if interest is absent it is no use. However, it
must also be said that too much interest towards an occupation does not
guarantee success in that field if other factors are also considered.

4. Special Aptitudes

take up a career where he has to work in a machine shop.

6. Sex
As perceived men and women are socially and legally equal, but
nature has given them different physique and capabilities too. Some
careers are more well-suited to men than women. Consequently, this factor
should also be kept in mind while choosing a career. Some careers need an
early entry to be successful for this may only result to frustration.

What influences Your Career Choices?

There are a lot of external factors to consider in career development. As
you go through the different factors below, you will see how they affect or
influence your career choices. You will also identify which among these
factors have least and big impact to your career options.

 Skills and Abilities

Skills and abilities are the things you naturally do well, talents and
strengths that you possess. These can include natural capabilities
you've always had or acquired through experience and training.
 Interest and Personality Type
Are your interests and personality type compatible with your career
choice? You need to know what makes you happy and be motivated every
day. Learning about your interest and personality leads you to better
choose a working environment that fits you.
 Life Roles
You play multiple roles in your lives and that these roles change over
the course of time. How you think about yourself on these roles may
influence how you look at careers in general and how you make choices
for yourself.
 Previous Experiences
Having positive experiences and role models working in specific
careers may influence you on the set of careers you consider as
options for yourself. If you have proven success and achieved positive
self-esteem in a particular area of work, more likely, you will have
it as a top career option.
 Culture
Racial and ethnic background, as well as the culture of your local
community, and extended family, may impact career your decisions.
Culture often shapes your values and expectations as they relate to
many parts of your lives, including jobs and careers.
 Gender
How you view yourself as an individual in terms of gender may
influence both the opportunities and obstacles you perceive as you
make career decisions. Studies of gender and career development are
ongoing as the roles of men and women in the workplace evolve.
 Social and Economic Conditions
All of your career choices take place within the context of society
and the economy. Changes in the economy and the resulting job market
may also affect how your careers develop.
 Childhood Fantasies
What do you want to be when you grow-up? You can remember this
question during your childhood years, and it may have influenced your
thoughts about careers, then, as well as in the present moment.

PSYCHOLOGIST JOHN HOLLAND CLASSIFIED JOBS/CAREERS/WORK ENVIRONMENTS INTO
SIX:

 Realistic(Do’er) –Prefers physical activities that require skill,

strength, and coordination. Traits include genuine, stable,
conforming, and practical.
Example professions include architect, farmer, and engineer.
 Investigative(Thinker) –Prefers working with the theory and
information, thinking, organizing, and understanding. Traits include:
analytical, curious, and independent.
Example professions include lawyer, mathematician, and professor.
 Artistic(Creator) –Prefers creative, original, and unsystematic
activities that allow creative expression. Traits include:
imaginative, disorderly, idealistic, emotional, and impractical.
Example professions include: artist, musician, and writer.
 Social(Helper) –Prefers activities that involve helping, healing, or
developing others. Traits include cooperative, friendly, sociable, and
understanding. Example professions include counselor, doctor, and
teacher.
 Enterprising(Persuader) –Prefers competitive environments, leadership,

energetic, and self-confident.
Example professions include Management, Marketing, and Sales Person.
 Conventional(Organizer) –Prefers precise, rule-regulated, orderly, and

practical, unimaginative, and inflexible.
 Example professions include accountant, clerk and editor.You are most
happy when you are placed in jobs that match your personality.

When personality and occupation are in agreement, employee

satisfaction is high and there will be less turnover. Holland’s
Hexagon of Job Personalities created a hexagon view to show the
relationships of job personality types. Notice that the job
personality types closer to each other are more alike, while the job
personality types further away are least alike. You can see more
clearly the relationships of job personalities according to their
placements on the hexagon. For example, for Realistic and Social job
personality types, you will see that they are virtually the opposite
of each other. On the other hand, social and Artistic are located
besides each other. This shows that realistic and social job
personality types are least alike, while social and artistic job
personality types are more alike.

WHAT IS A PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT?

Writing your personal mission statement is essential. It is more than

your goals and aspirations. As an adolescent, this will help you
identify your priorities and reflect on how you live life leading to
the realization of your goals, be it short-term or long-term. Like a
compass, your personal mission statement becomes your guide and
direction which comes from you and not from someone else. Your
personal mission statement shows your awareness and commitment of your
life long journey towards personal development, which is essential in
setting career and life goals. There’s no right or wrong way to
formulate a personal mission statement. There are no limits on what
should be included as part of it. What is important is you write it
down and be passionate on its realizations. The content of your
personal mission statement may include:

•Education

 •Career
•Personal attributes, such as honesty, loyalty and dedication
•Family and personal relationships
•Lifestyle
•Sports
•Faith and Spirituality
