CAREER DECISION MAKING

CAREER DECISION MAKING

Career decisions need to be made throughout the lifespan because a career has a major bearing on individuals’ lifestyles. It determines earnings, job security, friends, and acquaintances, the amount of leisure time and residence. 

  1. Career-related behaviors explicitly or implicitly involve a career decision: to pursue a particular job, to increase or decrease involvement in work, or to change occupational fields. Although each situation is different, they all involve action in the face of alternatives.
  2. Career indecision is especially challenging for youth in the school-to-work-transition as youth generally have not had enough work experience to develop their career identity. 
  3. The young adult’s self-concept undergoes turbulent times as they are faced with multiple demands to perform and become an independent citizen. 
  4. Young adults should get into the mindset of becoming proactive with their career decisions. Greenhaus (2003) points out that due to the emergence of shorter and more frequent career cycles, an individual will be required to make a greater number of significant career decisions over the course of their lives. 
  5. Organizations can assist youth in preparing to enter the world of work in understanding the decisions that need to be made and provide those individuals with the skills necessary to make well-informed decisions. 
  6. It, therefore, seems reasonable to suggest that organizations should not ignore the fact that individuals need to develop and maintain their employability. 
  7. They should embrace the process as a strategy for employee empowerment and motivation development.

You will meet with a career counselor, and complete a self-assessment to find the skills, jobs, and values ​​you want in the workplace.  More opportunities come out. Plus, you can learn about those jobs, talk to professionals, fall in love with one job, and then get your dream job! This method is straightforward and logical, but usually, it does not. In fact, job evaluation is complex, patient, and repetitive. Let’s take a look at a typical case: a postdoc named John, ready to go on, but he didn’t know what he wanted to do.
