Why do we need to make Career Decision Assessment?
Comparison between 80’s and 2011– One job Vs multiple jobs
Comparison between Asia and Canada– Education Vs Good Job
Stages of Career Decision Making
Self assessment (Who You Are?) Exploring career values, motivators, preferences,
personal strengths, limitations Career exploration (What Are There?) Establishing options, alternatives and plan B’s,
information gathering, networking, reality checking Decision making (What I Do?) Evaluating options, mapping skills and attributes against
actual roles, considering options and preferences, clarifying personal factors, making choices
Plan implementation (When I Do) Applicant research, CV update and applications,
preparing for assessments and interviews
Career Decision-Making Style
The Procrastinating Decision Makers
- “I’ll deal with it later,” or, “I just can’t decide.”
The Intuitive Decision Makers
- “I made that decision because it felt like the right thing to do,” or, "I just followed my heart in making this decision.”
The Dependent Decision Makers
- “What do YOU think I should do?,” or, “What would you do if you were me?”,
The Educated Decision Makers
- “I need to explore more options before I'm able to make a decision,” or, “I have gone over all the pros and cons and compared them to my other options.”
