Career Journey For Success : My Career Path

As a student of psychology, my career assessments test showed me many options for my career goal path. For starters, my career interest profile results are broken into six main categories which are: social, artistic, investigative, enterprising, realistic, and conventional. According to my results, my career matches are as followed: preschool, primary, secondary, and special education teacher. I am 28% social, 22% artistic, 17% investigative, 11% enterprising, 10% realistic, and 9% realistic. According to my Phoenix results, the salary ranges in this area between $18,140 - $57,530. I generally believed that I have a more noteworthy degree as a social person which ended up being substantial. Individuals who are social likes to help individuals in instructing, giving a restorative guide, giving data for the most part, avoids utilizing machines, devices, and animals to accomplish an objective. Moreover, people who are social is awesome at teaching, exhorting, nursing, or giving information; values people and dealing with social issues; and sees self as to be helpful, welcoming, and dependable. My profession normally includes working with, speaking with, instructing individuals, and causing or giving administration to others. However, my results also showed me other community and social service specialist that also may be in my interest such as health educator, youth counselor, and mental health / behavioral counselor.

When I was young I wanted to become a teacher; however, that all changed throughout the years. What had motivated me to become a teacher was all the supplies they had like the whiteboards, the markers, and the construction paper. It seemed fun and interesting to me to have all the supplies. I no longer wish to become a teacher. As I grew older I realized that I wanted to do something that has me going to places, seeing new things, speaking with diverse individuals, and for that reason I chose to be involved in Real estate.

Dan Pink in Ted Talks gives insight on motivation in the workplace today. Mr. Pink speaks of motivation driven by intrinsic rewards. Intrinsic is an outcome that gives personal satisfaction or fulfillment when the task is done well. Autonomy, mastery and purpose are examples of intrinsic rewards that Mr. Pink states are the driving focus of motivation. His talk was focused on autonomy, the urge to direct our own lives. Mr. Pink reviewed companies that has implemented autonomy and it showed that job satisfaction as well as job retention was high. Studies showed that extrinsic rewards only worked when little cognitive ability is required to solve a task. Extrinsic is an award that is based on something tangible, physical or monetary. Since the

According to Bateman & Snell (2009), Motivators to employee job performance are centered on extrinsic and intrinsic rewards. Extrinsic rewards are characteristics of the workplace that attract and retain people. They revolve around organization and management policies, working conditions, pay, benefits, and other so-called “hygiene” factors. Intrinsic rewards are motivators that provide employees personal satisfaction in the performance of their jobs such as opportunities for personal and career growth, recognition and the feeling of achievement in the successful completion of a task. (p. 486). Herzberg’s two-factor theory suggests

My entire life I have always worked my hardest to get to where I am today. As a child, I had the dream of being a nurse or a detective, and I as I started getting older I became aware that the two job areas are very different and competitive. I believe my determination has been a key quality that has let me enrich my education and move forward with the health and criminal justice fields. I have been able to succeed in classes, as well as my employment opportunities because when I set my mind to something, there is nothing stopping me, and I am 100% determined to finish. Being hard working has also been something I’ve done throughout my life, I was always been told that things don’t just happen and that I have to make things happen. The ability

In “Understanding Management”, there is a chapter on motivation that covers both extrinsic and intrinsic reward. The material does highlight the increasing trend of motivating people through appealing to those intrinsic needs and how it

“Intrinsic motivation is closely allied to the fundamental motivation to learn and acquire new skills. The building blocks, or psychological needs, that underlie intrinsic motivation are the need to determine one’s behavior (what psychologists term self-determination), the need to feel competent, and the need for relatedness, or to have meaningful relationships with other people. When these basic needs are satisfied, high intrinsic motivation results... they strive to learn new skills and improve their performance” (Karageorghis). The intrinsic rewards of attending college or pursuing technical training can help determine success. If a student or employee is finding that their work is intrinsically rewarding, psychology has shown that they are more likely to build work relationships, learn new skills, and be more

Currently, I am a senior at the Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology studying the field of Graphic Designing. Throughout the entirety of high school, I have tried my hardest to succeed and do the best that I can do. Through my experiences at the Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology, I have learned a lot about the future, our society, and myself; I have decided to not become a Graphic Designer and actually go to towards the direction of the human body, as I have always been curious. I plan on going to the University of Nevada, Reno and graduate with pre-medicine, then to go to graduate school and specify to become a surgeon. Also, throughout high school, I have been able to be an active community member and I have had the opportunity to

I cant believe it’s the end of this semester. One last chance to get this grade up. I cant believe one grade could possibly hold me back from all my dreams. Since I was little all I wanted to be was football player. Are star quarterback is graduating this year, and now it’s my time to shine. Everything I worked for hanging in the shadow of this final test.

From the time I was five, I have studied a large range of music including piano, clarinet, viola, cello, and voice. Generations of the Seaver family have always been first chair in the orchestra or the strongest vocal in the chamber choir. From an early age, my mother pressed my three siblings and I to surround ourselves with music but I struggled to get along with every instrument she put in my hands. My clarinet always squawked and when I pressed my bow to my viola, it sounded more like it was screaming than singing.

Intrinsic motivation comes from within and not from external forces. An extrinsic motivator can sometimes detract someone from something they enjoy. An example of this is someone loves their job and it brings them great enjoyment, but then a reward is offered and the job seems more like work rather than an enjoyable activity. Studies have been done where a child plays with a toy because they like it, but when the child earns praise for playing with the toy they become disinterested in the toy. These shows that extrinsic can actually be a detractor when intrinsic motivation is already enforced. I have personally seen overtime that intrinsic motivation keeps someone in their career longer then extrinsic motivation. If you enjoy your work you

The idea of returning to school to master new skills to compete in the workplace is an excellent goal for any working adult. However, it is important for the working adult to understand success is base upon the journey taken and the path chosen by someone. One must realize there will be many barriers and difficulties along the way; however, with dedication, ability to prioritize, and motivation to stay focus, I will succeed and graduate with my Master degree in Nursing in October 2017. For me to be successful in achieving this goal, there are different pathways that I must chose and followed. These are assessing my learning styles, finding ways to manage my time, money, and stress, and setting S.M.A.R.T goals.

As the end of the semester is approaching, I’ve been looking back on my knowledge throughout the course. Throughout this course, I have learned abut the work world, and different laws and regulations. I have been able to reflect on skills and work habits, learn more about resumes and cover letters. I have also been fortunate to learn about a key aspect of becoming employed; interviews. One of the major things I have learned and discovered are, my educational and career pathways for the future.
