Informative Information Analysis

If economical factors such as money was no problem, everyone would wish to pursue their dreams and desires. I would either wish to indulge in a life of simply existing contently, or pursue my fervent, egotistical, and narcissistic wish to rule the world. But such are merely fanciful fantasies, and the responsibilities, limitations, and desires of reality, such as skill, income, and influence from internal and external factors such as family, determines our choice between income, emotional satisfaction, and skill compatibility. Simply put, based on our skill set, and our interests, we try to choose a profession that allows us to goals of whatever degree or term, depending on our aptitude and attitude for and toward work. The profession we choose is also often a product of influence from our romantic fantasies, the demands of society, and the suggestion and information available in our surrounding environment, such as teachers and counsellors. And often, our professional dreams, and goals, may or may not differ from our personal dreams and goals, and our profession, at least for me, is the means to the ends of my

In the beginning, career counseling was strictly developed to help with job placement, but it became so much more than that after the career development was further researched by a group of theorist that focused on career process. What is it that drives us to choose a specific career path? According to Zunker (2012), different theorists such as Parsons, Holland, Krumboltz, Bandura, Super, and Gottfredson all developed theories on career development and their perspective on the importance of occupational process. Throughout this paper one will discuss the John Holland’s Typology and the significance of this particular career theory. Some of the points that will be covered in this paper include: history of theory, strengths and weaknesses, assessments used, population best fit for this theory, and diversity and

This article is about theories of career development. By applying the theories to my career developments, evaluating the strength and weakness of those theories, then I took my parents’ working experience as examples, finally came up with my theory that should be used when making a vocational choice.

Patton and McMahon (2006) developed a systems theory framework for development of careers called the Therapeutic Framework. The system categorizes the various factors that influence the choice of career into individual factors (for both the learner who is to choose their career and their counselor), organizational factors, or environmental factors (Patton & McMahon, 2006). The system also recognizes the effect of timing on these factors; thus incorporating the aspects of past, present and future (McMahon, Forde, & Dickson, 2015).

It is a tough job market out there for both job seekers who have much experience and who just start to look for a job. People buy self-help books, Google career advice, and read articles for their career development. However, when they are trapped in a phase of their careers, they need to turn to a career coach. The author of this article interviewed Donna Sweidan, an experienced career coach, and focused on ten questions. These ten things also can help us to compete against other job seekers.

Thesis: While Careers can be both rewarding and seen as a sense of accomplishment, Americans believe that a successful career is one of the elements that create a happy life because outwardly appearances help facilitate this belief, position and title are important, and material possessions increasingly provide a false image of success.

Research on the burnout phenomenon continues to be important, and necessary to study. Not only does burnout affect students’ well-being, and their experience of success in graduate school, but also their ability to learn and feel confident in their work with patients. It can be argued that it is particularly important to study burnout among health professionals due to the

As an (early, middle, or late) career stage academic, what needs or strategies (resiliency skills) are required to battle burnout? Explain.

The digital uses in the last 10 years has been growing rapidly and most people would consider it as a necessity. Information which use to take days, hours could reach the media within a fraction of a time. Digital information has been gradually replacing the traditional way of getting information thru newspaper and television. It is the fastest way of getting information but all information might be accurate. In this paper, I will be writing how the economically poor access digital information, opinion and outcome of using the digital information, advantage and disadvantage of using the digital information and relationship to healthcare.

However, poor decisions and “…social and economic conditions inhibited [alternative] career paths” (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 2002, p. 256). The psychosocial domains of education accomplishment and emotional reactions were excellent additions to career theory of which both help to better explain the reasons behind my career choices, both then and now (Bandura, 1986, 1997). Reciprocity between a person and organization barely scratches the surface when life satisfaction is concerned. My self-efficacy was never in question during my time in the oil field nor did my goals ever lack determination or resolve. Nevertheless, a lack of education—9th grade was the highest grade I completed prior to earning my bachelor’s degree—financial obligations, and parental responsibilities did serve as barriers that did “make career progress difficult” (Swanson & Woitke, 1997, p. 446). Sure, on a grand scale I helped “drive” the world by excavating oil and natural gas, but now I am able to touch lives on a personal, more intimate

Application of career theories to my own life allows for analyzing past and future career decisions. Holland’s Theory of Careers states that one’s vocation is an expression of self, personality, and way of life. There is an indisputable and fundamental

Many clinically relevant research studies are published daily; thus, it is difficult for physicians and pharmacists (indeed all healthcare professionals) to find the time to absorb this new knowledge. Electronic knowledge resources, specifically the pre-appraised evidence resources, can help family physicians in two ways. These resources provide clinical information to answer clinical questions at the point of care (Pull Technology) (e.g. Up-To-Date and Essential Evidence Plus), and they raise awareness of new research through information delivery systems (Push Technology) (e.g. Daily POEMs and e-Therapeutics+ Highlights educational emails). These EKR are credible pre-appraised evidence resource summarizes and provides evidence-based clinical recommendations which are the results of research studies that have been selected for clinical relevance and critically appraised for methodological quality. These resources: (i) are selected based on evidence grading methodology and criteria, (ii) present the date of evidence review for each piece of information, (iii) correlate the treatment recommendations to the specific evidence, and (iv) are continuously revised and updated.

For many people, finding a career that is both fulfilling and practical is a strenuous task. Fortunately, there is a plethora of different interventions, techniques, assessments, and inventories designed to aid those individuals in making the wisest career choices possible. But are any of those routes inherently better than the others? Or are all the differing options separate but equally effective? Donald Super’s Life Span Theory and John Holland’s Theory of Vocational Choice are just two of the many theories used for career counseling. Both methods are distinct in the way they approach career issues, yet despite their differences, there are some resemblances between the two theories as well. Comparing and contrasting these two theories will make it easier to see if one theory is better than the other for career counseling or if they are both equally effective.

Taking the steps to enroll in higher education, completing the courses, and earning a degree are all important aspects in career development. However, many other aspects need to be considered while planning for a future career. While it may seem very overwhelming, I am hoping that by completing this Flexible Career Plan this whole process will help me feel a little less overwhelmed. Each chapter in our textbook, Creating Career Success by Fabricant, Miller, and Stark (2014), will assist me with gathering information, evaluating that information and coming to conclusions on how to peruse the right career. We will begin with Chapter two and travel through the book ending in chapter ten. Some of the topics we will cover will be,

Many theories of career development are derived from theories of personality (Sharf 1997). They attempt to illuminate the interrelationship of individual personality and behavior with work and careers. However, some prevailing career development theories were based solely on research on white males from middle- and upper-middle-class backgrounds, so their applicability to women, people of color, and other socioeconomic groups has been called into question. In addition, the focus on individual psychological or personality characteristics does not take into account the wider environmental context in which people make career decisions, thus failing to recognize the constraints faced by some
