What I Need to Know (Learning Objectives)
1. Describe one’s own concept of career.
2. Identify different factors that may influence career choice
3. Give importance to career planning and career development.

What is It?
Career Concepts
A career is defined as the combination and sequence of roles played by a person during the
course of a lifetime (Super, 1980). Your career basically dictates a lot of things in your life – it can
determine the kind of lifestyle that you will be leading, the quality of relationships that you have with people
around you like your family and friends, the kind of balance you will be able to keep with your life and
your responsibilities.
There are two other concepts that we often associate with the concept of career. One is a job. A job
is a 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.
Another term is occupation. An occupation is defined as the similar work for which people have
similar responsibilities and for which they develop a common set of skills and knowledge. For example,
people who are in the mental health occupation would include psychologists, clinical psychologists,
counsellors, and psychiatrists.
A lot of things can influence one’s career choice. A popular career development model, the Trait
and Factor model, believes that skills and abilities need to fit the demands of a particular career field. This
being said, it is then important that you take stock of the skills, knowledge and abilities that you currently
possess and those that you still need to develop as these greatly impacts that kind of career that could be a
good match for you.
Another factor that could influence your success in a particular career field would be your
personality and interests. John Holland, a popular career counsellor proposed a theory that strongly believe
that certain careers require certain personality traits and must also fit our interests.
Our life roles are yet strong factors that influences our career choices. Your role as a child, a sister,
a student, and eventually if you choose it, that of a parent would have an impact in the decisions that you
would have to make as an adult. Donald Super, another career development theorist believes that since we
play an array of roles in our lives, these roles are likely to change over time thus requirements, needs and
other external forces would come into play when we are trying to figure out or maintain a career.
One’s race and ethnicity could also impact our choices. The culture in which we belong to shape
our values and expectations. In the Philippines, our collectivist orientation makes our family a strong
influence in our career decisions. More often than not, the choice of course to take in college, the location
of our job, how strong-willed we will be in achieving great heights in our career, would most likely be
influenced by our family roles, duties and obligations.
Our social identity, specifically our gender, also poses challenges and opportunities for us when
choosing a career. Although nowadays, the gender divide in terms of careers have slowly narrowed, it is a
known fact that men and women experiences career-related stereotypes.
One of the strongest considerations in career decision making has a lot to do with social and
economic conditions. Our choice of career is contingent to our capabilities to sustain the monetary demands
of pursuing formal education to train for it. Also, our financial obligations and roles likewise would
determine the kind of occupation we would be pursuing in order to fulfil these duties. Furthermore, certain
life events can also influence our career choices. The unpredictability of these events may cause us to make
certain concessions in order to meet the demands brought about by these changes. Likewise, the volatile
economic landscape and how it impacts that supply and demand for people and jobs may also impact how
our careers would progress.
Lastly, we are so familiar with the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It is
highly probable that these childhood fantasies may have influenced how you view yourself and your
career.

What’s More
Title of the Activity: My Career Inspirations
Directions: Cut and paste pictures of your family members or significant others to whom
you have admired because they are successful in their career. Post them inside the box and briefly describe
each of them.

Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS)


I admire all of them for being so productive and determined. BTS are well-
spoken, intelligent, ambitious, and oriented. We also know well, without looking too
fake, what to say in public and whatnot. To become one of the most influential groups
ever, all of the BTS gave up on a lot. I do think that with the amount of hard work they
put in, they are still not compensated enough. They still deserve to succeed even more.
KIM NAMJOON –
You were the one who led BTS to where it is now. You work so hard for them, writing
lyrics, supporting them and loving them. With your inspiring words, Kim Namjoon has
encouraged me to be a successful leader. Your wisdom, your knowledge, isn't it just so
amazing to have the world like you. You always motivate other people through your words.

KIM SEOKJIN –
Your self-confidence and your ability to love yourself that I have always admired. You
are often mature and, at times, also silly. I was motivated by Kim Seokjin to love myself more.
You can turn the world into a happier world with your jokes and memes. You're the only Kim
Seokjin in my life who makes me laughing and smiling all over again.

MIN YOONGI –
You are so calm and quiet at all times. You also show dedication to achieve everything
you do. Min Yoongi inspired me to be gentle and more focused. You're like a star that shines
so bright from time to time with your music, inspired me to write some songs. The best
producer of all time, so I want to be a producer like you.

JUNG HOSEOK –
Jung Hoseok has always inspired me to smile. The happy pill that always made me
smile, every time I think of you. You’re my hope in this beautiful world. My lovely Hobi, the
dance master who adds light to our lives and funny moments with the other members. I thank
you for making your members happy.

PARK JIMIN –
You continue to help others, even if they anger you. You don’t need abs to be perfect.
Park Jimin inspired me to love others. The one with the highest pitch and cute voice. You are
attractive because you are so manly. I want to stare at you for a whole damn day. Park Jimin
that always light up your day and can make your heart flutter with his smile.

KIM TAEHYUNG –
You were the one who brought me into this beautiful fandom, and you led me out of
depression. You used to be a poor boy, but with your hard-working skills, you have the
wealthy, but you still haven't let fame destroy you. Kim Taehyung inspired me to be
determined. The square smile of him is just so damn lovable.

JEON JUNGKOOK –
You work hard each day as the youngest. You working hard makes me want to stand up
and do something too. Jeon Jungkook inspired me to work harder. He has this powerful voice
that has ever captured my attention. Even his voice can melt the heart of any single person.
