About Career
|
The term career was traditionally associated with paid employment and referred to
a single occupation. In today's world of work the term career is seen as a continuous process of
learning and development. Once you have made a career decision and a choice of an occupation, then
develop an career goal.
A career goal helps you focus and make decisions on what you want to do for a living. It directs you,
motivates you and helps you to accomplish what you want. A career goal may help you discover your talent,
skills and abilities and possibilities that you wouldn't have thought of. Many possibilities exist with
any career you choose. Having a career goal can guide you to doing what you want to do in your life—rather
than just aimlessly drifting from job to job. In adolescence, career exploration is based on identifying
interests, abilities, capacities and values; learning about the world of work through observing adults at
work; participating in the workforce; and accessing career resources and programs.
People use different processes to make decisions. Whatever your decision-making style may be, this is the
stage at which you begin to priorities and narrow down your options and choose which possibilities you will
commit to. It is important that you find people that will listen to you and assist you with this process.
Having decided on a career direction, you are now ready to set some goals and describe the steps you need
to carry out in order to achieve those goals. You need to think about what possible constraints or barriers
you may need to deal with, what resources you require and how long it will take to achieve your goals.
