CAREER CHOICE

According to http://www.career-resource.net/theory.php :
According to John Holland's (1985) theory, there are 6 types of vocational personality which could make individuals better predisposed to certain occupations. Holland's fundamental underlying hypothesis is that people will have the most job satisfaction in occupations that match their personality type and so tend to choose a career that is reflective of their of their personality. Quoting John Holland himself, "people can function and develop best and find job satisfaction in work environments that are compatible with their personalities" (ICDM, 1991, p. 4-4).

These are the six personality types in brief. While each type is normally a part of us, usually one type is evidenced most strongly


  • REALISTIC: outdoor type. These people tend to like and be good at activities that require strength and co-ordination. They are not too keen on socializing. They also like working with things (tools, machines etc). Examples of suitable jobs: Farmer, Truck driver, Pilot, Builder, Carpenter, etc

  • INVESTIGATIVE: interested in logic and concepts. These people tend to enjoy and be good at abstract thought. They are often interested in science. They also like working with information (abstract ideas and theories) Examples of suitable jobs: Chemist, Mathematician, Pharmacist, Dentist, Researcher, etc

  • ARTISTIC: tend to you their imagination a lot. They like to express their feelings and ideas. Dislike rules and regulations and enjoy music, drama and art. They also like creating things. Examples of suitable jobs: Artist, Actor, Dancer, Designer, DJ, Composer, Painter etc

  • SOCIAL: enjoy the company of other people especially to help them. Tend to be warm and caring people. Example of suitable jobs: Nurse, Librarian, Counselor, Physiotherapist etc

  • ENTERPRISING: also enjoy the company of other people, but mainly to dominate or persuade rather then help them. Enjoys actions more than thought. They also like to be the leaders. Examples of suitable jobs: Sales Rep, Headmaster, Lawyer, Managers, Journalist etc

  3. COMPONENTS OF COMMUNITY COUNSELING MODEL
    -Direct community service is a services offered in the community by providing plans and strategies to all people
    -Indirect community service are the services which are influencing much on public policy example of the slogan are Graduating with "A" and not with AIDS.

    Direct client services
    -Focus to the people who are already affected with a different problem

    Indirect client services
    Focus on advocacy and consultation it means giving a high support from government to the people who are affected with different problems.
