1. Career and Personal Development Group 3

2. Career and Personal Development August Turak , author of the book, Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks: One CEO's Quest for Meaning and Authenticity, and a contributor to Forbes Magazine, wrote an article about what leaders must know about personal development. His proposition was that the purpose of developing ourselves is not just for a successful career in the future, but for us to become the best person that we ever can be. Turak wrote: What do you do for personal development? The reason I find this question so difficult is that it assumes that personal development is something we do in order to get "success." And by success we usually mean having a successful career. It rarely occurs to anyone in our culture that someone (a Trappist monk for example) might become an artist, entrepreneur, leader, or politician as a means to personal development and not the other way around.

3. This entire world view tragically puts the proverbial dart. before the horse. Whether you call it personal development, personal growth, self-actualization, self-transcendence, or spirituality does not matter. What matters is realizing that the reason you were born is to become the best human being you can possibly be. Personal development is not a tool for reaching a bigger goal. Becoming a complete human being is already the biggest and most noble goal you can aspire to.

4. Career Selection Among Filipinos In the Philippines, education takes top priority among the majority of families after basic necessities are met. The belief that a college diploma can improve one's life is the major factor that drives many Filipinos to seek out the most popular courses in college that can offer the best chances of employment. This is evident in the way families literally enshrine the diplomas received by members of the family and lining it up along the walls, together with honor ribbons and medals, if they received any.

5. The 4 categories of career development theories 1. Trait Factor- skills, values, interests, and personality characteristics are analyzed and matched with job fac - tors or an occupational profile. The Trait Factor Theory was formulated by vocation experts Frank Parson and E. G. Williamson back in the 1900s, and is still the basis of many career counseling and aptitude tests.

6. 2. Psychological Developed by John Holland. This second category is an offshoot of Parson's Trait Factor Theory where Holland identified six personality categories: realistic, investigative, social, conventional, enterprising, and artistic. A person usually made up of all six personality categories, will have one dominant type, but may exhibit up to three of these types. People in search of their career path are often confused because they mix their dominant type with their other preferences.

7. 3. Decision- this theory is based on Albert Bandura's theory of self-efficacy, which means that a person may exercise control over his or her thoughts, beliefs, and actions, and that self-efficacy is the predictor of behavior. Self-efficacy is defined as the belief in one's capa - bilities to plan, organize, and execute a set of actions that will produce the desired results.

8. 4.Developmental or the Life-Span or Life-Space Theory - proposed by Donald Super who based the theory on the idea that humans are always in constant change and go through life learning and doing new things while changing roles in the process. We often hear of people in mid-life talking about reinventing themselves and in the process acquiring new set of skills and attitudes, and occupy themselves with new things they have never done before.

9. Internal factors affecting one’s choice career 1. Self-concept or self- identity if your self-identity is not as solid as it should be, then choosing a career or even a course to take up in college will be difficult. There is a need to know and understand what you want to do or not want to do. This is tied on how you see and think of yourself. For example, you want to become a medical doctor, but then you think you do not have the perseverance or the intelligence to become one, that self- defeating thought will take you miles away from fulfilling your dream. Your values will also play a role in your career choice. People who are very much into helping other people will be unhappy in a work situation where profits take highest priority over other important things like developing human resources.

10. 2 . Personal preferences- You might have decided to take up accountancy but your mother told you that being a nurse like one of your aunts will help you earn a lot of money especially when you work abroad. This usually happens in many Filipino homes.

11. 3.Motivation- The drive to fulfill one's fullest potentials is the best motivation any person can ever have in living a meaningful life. Sure, there are some whose motivations evolve around amassing wealth or obtaining power, but the majority of Filipinos are motivated primarily by their desire to improve the quality of their family's lives. Millions of Filipinos are now working abroad for this very reason. They went to college to take up a course that can provide them with employment abroad. Once they graduated, they ventured out into the world to seek their own fortune for themselves, as well as for their families. When they have saved enough, they return home to pursue their personal dreams.

12. 4. Self-confidence-”Yes I can!" "Kaya ko ito !" Notwithstanding the challenges an adolescent faces after high school, the self-confident person will keep his eyes on his goals, and declare to the world that he can do it and will succeed in the pursuit of his dreams.

13. 5. Personal skills As children, we already learned certain skills just by observing our parents and siblings, classmates, and school authorities. Basic education teaches us the hard skills we need to acquire so we may qualify for higher education, such as learning math and the sciences. The softer skills such as dealing with people or the skill to communicate a feeling or a thought non-verbally are skills that are not taught in our educational system.

14. 6. Personality characteristics- Knowing your personality characteristics will definitely help you in choosing a career. Certain characteristics are compatible and matched with certain types of work or occupation according to Holland's trait factor theory.

15. 7. Personal health- The condition of your health is a major factor in the career choice you will make. Are you healthy enough to take on the rigors of some tough courses like law or medicine? You might aspire to become a physical education specialist but your asthma or allergies are getting in the way. Many health conditions can be handled given the proper guidance from a professional medical specialist. In many instances, however, physical conditions or health issues did not deter certain individuals in pursuing their dreams.

16. 8. Emotional considerations- Generally, it is difficult to make a decision when one is experiencing some strong emotions such as anger or sad- ness. Oftentimes, an emotionally disturbed individual will end up deciding on the wrong thing. Check yourself when you are deciding on what course to take. It is always best to be levelheaded and calm when making these life-directing decisions.

17. 9. Self-sabotaging thoughts Self-sabotaging thoughts are thoughts that deter a per- son from developing a healthy and wholesome self-concept. Statements such as "I cannot do this. I will never succeed." "I am not intelligent enough for that course." "Nobody believes in me, so why should I even believe in myself?" are the stumbling blocks in your journey toward self-actualization. Knowing one's strengths and weaknesses will put a person's feet on the ground and make him realistic about his capabilities and limitations. However, to immediately put a halt to one's dream is to sabotage what could have been a realization of that dream.
