B. Identify Common Possible Job Stressors
https://bit.ly/2NdHGm9

Have you ever felt like you learn best in a particular way? These learning styles
impact how well we learn under certain conditions. Some students learn best by hearing
information while others learn best by seeing it. Some different theories have emerged to
describe how students prefer to learn best.

One learning style theory is based on the work of analytical psychologist Carl Jung,
who developed a theory of psychological types designed to categorize people in terms of
various personality patterns.1

Jung's Theory of Personality Types

Jung’s theory focuses on four basic psychological functions:

1. Extraversion vs. Introversion

2. Sensation vs. Intuition
3. Thinking vs. Feeling
4. Judging vs. Perceiving https://bit.ly/3fyAX24

 What Is It

CAREER DEVELOPMENT THEORIES

Career development- is a study of career paths, success, and behavior.

- aims to explain why a person might be a good fit for a certain career.
- lifelong process of managing learning, work, leisure and transitions in order to
move toward a personally determined and evolving preferred future.

Career Development Theory Comes from:

 Differential Psychology– is interested in work and occupation

 Personality Psychology- views an individuals as an organizer of their own
experiences
 Social Psychology- social action and on the interrelation of personality,
values, and mind with social structure and culture.
 Developmental Psychology- is concern with “life course.”

MYERS BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR (MBTI)

- It is a reliable and valid instrument that measures and categorizes your

personality and behavior. It is NOT a TEST. There is no Right or Wrong
Answer. The Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator is a self-report inventory
designed to identify a person's personality type, strengths, and preferences. The
questionnaire was developed by Isabel Myers and her mother
Katherine Briggs based on their work with Carl Jung's theory of
personality types.
- Around 1940 a mother-daughter team Katharina C. Briggs and her
daughter Isabel Briggs Myers developed the instrument to help people
understand and use Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type preferences.
(Wikipedia).

The 8 JOB STRESSORS

 Swiss Psychologist, Carl Jung (1875-1961)
-Greatly influenced by Sigmund Freud.
- theorized that you can predict differences in people’s behavior if
you know how they prefer to use their mind. According to Jung, we
each have an inborn preference for using our mind in one of two
different ways, in four different categories.

Extraverts or Introverts Sensing or Intuitive Types

Thinking or Feeling Types Judging or Perceiving Types

CAREER SELECTION
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them
looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your
future. You have to trust in something- your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.‖

-Steve Jobs

Factors In Choosing a Career

Four Main Stages
A. Self-awareness- this involves looking at your SKILLS, VALUES, INTERESTS
and PERSONALITY and analyzing where your strengths and weaknesses lie.
B. Opportunity/Awareness- Once you have done some preliminary self-
analysis, the next stage is to gather information on the opportunities open to
you.
C. Decision-making – Consider suggestions from others, they could bring up
some possibilities that you haven’t considered before.
D. Taking Action- This is the final process of career planning. It Involves:
 Finding out about the employers that offer the types of jobs or
careers you are interested in
 You can search through online job applications.
 Preparing applications and attending interviews.
 Perhaps taking aptitude tests.

First, look at the timeline, which gives you an idea of what you should be
doing in terms of Career Planning. Sometimes you may have to return to previous
stages in the process, for example, if you are not able to get into your first preferred
career.

Activity No. 6 Internal Factors Affecting One’s Choice of Career

A married couple live in a house on one side of the river. The wife has a lover
who lives on the other side. The only way to get across the river is to walk across
the bridge or to pay the boatman.
The husband has to go to an overnight business trip to a far away town. The
wife pleads with him to take her with him. She knows if that he doesn’t she will be
unfaithful to him. The husband absolutely refuses to take her because she will only
be in the way of his important business. So the husband goes alone.
That night, the wife goes over the bridge and stays with her lover. Dawn is
almost up when the wife leaves because she must be back home before her
husband returns. She starts walking across the bridge but sees an assassin waiting
for her on the other side, She knows if she tries to cross, he will murder her. In terror,
she runs up the side of the river and asks the boatman to take her across the river,
but he wants too much money. She doesn’t have enough, so he refuses to take her.
The wife runs back to the lover’s house and explains her predicament and
asks him to pay the boatman. The lover refuses, telling her it’s her own fault for
getting into this situation. As dawn comes up the wife decides to dash across the
bridge. She comes face to face with the assassin and he kills her.
 The five characters in the story are listed below in alphabetical
order. List the names in the order in which you think they were most
responsible for the wife’s death. Check to see what your choices
represent.

Assassin Boatman Husband Lover Wife

 Each of the characters is a symbol and represents a different

quality:
Lover= Sex
Wife= Fun (could also mean Contentment)
Assassin = Money
Boatman = Magic (Could also mean LUCK)
Husband = Love

 Your list reveals the order in which these five qualities interest you,
and how important they are in your life. If you thought that the wife
was most responsible, then fun is the most important thing in your
life. Since you are assigning responsibility, you are essentially
abandoning the quality associated with each character. Therefore if
you have assigned the wife to the number one spot, you have
betrayed fun more than any of other qualities.
 What Is It

Factors Affecting Career Choices

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.
2. Personal Preferences- Sometimes is greatly being affected by the wants of
parents for their children. Peer pressure is also one factor that influences a
certain individual.
3. Motivation- The drive to fulfill one’s fullest potentials is the best motivation
any person can ever have in living a meaningful life. A person without any
motivation will end up wasting a life of unfulfilled potentials.
4. Self-confidence- ―Yes I Can!‖ Notwithstanding the challenges as adolescent
faces after high school, the self-confident person will keep his eyes in his
goals and declare to the world that he can do it and will succeed in the pursuit
of his dreams.
5. Personal Skills- As children, we already learned certain skills just by
observing our parents and siblings, classmates, friends and school
authorities. Be aware of the inherent skills that you have.
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 Hollands
trait factory theory.
7. Personal Health- Many health conditions can be handled given the proper
guidance from the professional medical specialist. in many instances
however, physical conditions or health issues did not determine certain
individuals in pursuing their dream

 What I Can Do
Career guidance for millennials

By: Butch Hernandez - @inquirerdotnet

Philippine Daily Inquirer / 12:11 AM November 22, 2014
All too often, far too many of our young people—and their parents–make emotional
and uninformed decisions in choosing their education institution and field of study.
The result is both sad and inevitable: The high school or college graduate finds it extremely
difficult to land a decent job, all because he/she had neither the adequate information nor
the expert guidance to explore optimal training pathways and career trajectories.
All things considered, young people still need a steady, experienced hand to guide them as
they navigate the uncertainty of today’s labor market. This sentiment resonated repeatedly at
the 37th annual convention of the Career Development Association of the Philippines
(CDAP) held recently at the Bayview Park Hotel.
The CDAP is a professional organization dedicated to the growth, practice and
advancement of career development in business and industrial organizations, educational
institutions, government agencies and nongovernment organizations in the country. It is the
recognized leader in the research and practice of career guidance, career counseling and
career development, and is accredited by the Professional Regulation Commission. t was
interesting to note that, even as the discussions revolved around understanding what
motivates and inspires millennials, the majority of the participants were in fact millennials
themselves.
Keynote speaker Fred Ayala was quick to point this out. The CEO of Ayala Education
Inc., chair of LiveIT, the BPO investment arm of Ayala Corp., and chair emeritus of the IT &
Business Processing Association of the Philippines (Ibpap), he advocates affordable private
education to uplift the competencies and overall preparedness for life of our young learners.
According to Ayala, millennials share common values with the generations before them,
such as the primacy of family, but they tend to be more socially aware and environmentally
conscious.
Unlike Generation X before them, the millennials know only of a world economy that
is in recession. Digital connectivity is second nature to them. So is a job market that is
constantly changing.
Ayala, citing the author Tony Wagner, emphasized: ―Work, learning and citizenship in
the 21st century demand that we all know how to think—to reason, analyze, weigh evidence,
problem-solve. Effective communication, curiosity, and critical thinking skills … are essential
competencies and habits of mind for life in the 21st century.‖
Clearly, as noted by Ayala, our youth are at risk.
Statistics from the labor department’s Bureau of Local Employment bear this out. The
youth unemployment rate is now at 17.3 percent. That’s more than twice the national
unemployment rate of 7.5 percent. Furthermore, a little over 45 percent of the unemployed—
or about 1.3 million people—have reached or completed high school, and around 980,000
more or 33 percent have either gone to or graduated from university.
This is as ironic as it is distressing, most especially because the quality of talent that we
have here has made the Philippines a choice global destination for the high-growth
information technology and business process management (or IT BPM) industry.
By now, the Philippine IT BPM industry has generated $16 billion in revenue and hired one
million full-time employees.
Jose Mari Mercado, president of Ibpap, says the IT BPM industry is on track to meet
its 2016 growth targets of 1.3 million direct employment and $25 billion in generated
revenue. But Penny Bongato, Ibpap executive director for talent development, has a rather
sobering perspective: The IT BPM industry’s hiring rate continues to languish between 7 and
10 percent. If nothing is done, if no qualitative intervention is initiated right away, the
situation will not improve, with unpredictable consequences.
Ayala said career counseling and guidance should be made available to our young
learners at a time when they need it most: as early as senior high school or during the first
years of higher education, just before they actually decide on a career path.
He said it would help greatly if the CDAP seeks out active partnerships with industry
associations like Ibpap.
The CDAP’s career development professionals will surely appreciate the opportunity
to gain ground-level perspective of the IT BPM industry. In turn, IT BPM employers will most
