What is Career?
Let’s start with the first set of
slides
A career is a journey that lasts
your whole life. Sometimes, it
is called a “career path.” As you
work in jobs, you build skills,
knowledge, and experiences.
Your career includes education,
training, work experience, and
community involvement. It also
includes unpaid work and
hobbies.

Standardized Test
> A test that is given to students in a very
consistent manner; meaning that the
questions on the test are all the same, the
time given to each student is the same, and
the way in which the test is scored is the
same for all students.
11
Example
> Aptitude Test - It's a measurement of a
person's ability to learn a specific subject/task.
> Based on natural talent, skill, and ability to
learn, you don't study for them in the way you
would other tests. You're not being tested on
knowledge or information you've been taught,
but instead on your capacity for learning new
information.

John Holland's Theory of Career Choice
(RIASEC)
> Behavior is determined by an
interaction between
personality and environment.
13
> Holland’s theory is centered on the notion
that most people fit into one of six
personality types:
> Realistic
> Investigative
> Artistic
> Social
> Enterprising
> Conventional
14
R = Realistic
People high on the realistic
theme tend to enjoy creating
things with their hands and
working with tools and objects
rather than working with people
and ideas. Realistic people tend
to be rugged and practical,
enjoying work outdoors.

them to teach, inform, train, develop,
cure and help others.

C = Conventional
High conventional people tend to
prefer jobs where they are given firm
structure and know exactly what is
expected of them. People who rank
high on this theme often describe
themselves as conscientious,
efficient, and calm. They enjoy
activities that involve the precise,
ordered use of data such as keeping
and filing records, organizing data,
computing, printing, etc.
They enjoy words and numbers and systematic and structured jobs
such as clerical, administrative, time study analyst, business

> Within this theory there are six basic types of
work environment, which correlate directly to
the personality types. Holland emphasizes that
people who choose to work in an environment
similar to their personality type are more
likely to be successful and satisfied. This idea
is important as it shows Holland’s theory can
be flexible, incorporating combination types.
