DISCUSSION: Lesson 12: Career Pathways


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
1
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.

1. Department of Education, Republic of the Philippines, Personal Development Reader 1stedition, What Influences Your Career
Choice? by Melissa Venable(Quezon City: Sunshine InterlinksPublishing House Inc., 2016), 104-105.

Psychologist John Holland classified jobs/careers/work environments into six:


1.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.
2.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.
3. 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.
4.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.
5.Enterprising (Persuader) –Prefers competitive environments, leadership, influence, selling, and status.
Traits include ambitious, domineering, energetic, and self-confident. Example professions include
Management, Marketing, and Sales Person.
6.Conventional (Organizer) –Prefers precise, rule-regulated, orderly, and unambiguous activities. Traits
include conforming, efficient, 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
Holland created a hexagon view to show the relationships of job personality types.

2
Notice that the job personality types closer to each other are more alike, while the job personality types
further away are least a like. 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.
