THE CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROCESS 1. Knowledge of Self (Interests, Values, Skills & Personality) 2. Knowledge of Majors and the World of Work 3. Knowledge of the Job Search Process Once you have an understanding of YOU, you will be able to choose a major and career field that is RIGHT FOR YOU.

Begin by Assessing Yourself What interests you?

What do you value in your workplace?

What skills and experience have you already gained?

Examine past jobs, volunteer work, hobbies, school and social situations.

Did You Know?

Up to 80% of entering college students admit they are not certain what they want to major in, even if they have chosen a major.

70% of students change their majors at least once.

Most employers are evaluating candidates by their skill sets and related experiences...not their majors.

The most successful students tie together their part-time job, volunteer experience, campus activities, and internship with their career aspirations.

Majors do not dictate a career – you do!

CAREER AND PERSONALITY ASSESSMENTS Not sure if your major is right for you?

Still haven’t declared a major?

Don’t know what you’ll do with your major?

To assist you in identifying your skills, abilities, interests, and values in relation to the career development process, Career Planning offers three primary assessment instruments. These “tests” will help you more clearly identify and target both majors & careers. After completing an assessment, we recommend you set up an appointment with a staff member to review your personal results. Career exploration pays off…you will develop a clearer view of yourself and the majors and jobs that best fit you!!

Contact the Career Planning Center (career@cedarcrest.edu or 610-606-4648) for the ID and password information.

Focus - Allows you to assess your skills, abilities, interests, and values in relationship to a wide variety of career choices (web-based).

MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) - Assess your psychological type as an explanation to your personality.

The MBTI is used in self-understanding and development; career exploration, counseling, and leadership development (web-based).

PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER Our assessment instruments all have a common purpose….they are self-assessments of your interests, skills, personality and/or values. None should be the sole basis for career decisions. In addition, we suggest the following: Schedule a follow-up appointment with a Career Planning Center staff member to discuss your results.

Share your results with faculty advisors to assist in course selection.

When reviewing the results of any assessment instrument, view the results as a guide, not as “THE” answer to all concerns.

After completing the assessment instrument(s), use the resources available in Career Planning Center to gain further information about particular career fields.

KEY TO SUCCESS

Perhaps the most important element of success in college or in your career is planning!

Planning is essential, be it in selecting a major or choosing a career.

Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance Unless you know what you want from life, you are not likely to stumble across it. How do you know what you want? How do you decide what will be important to you in the future? What options are available to you both in terms of major and career?

The Career Planning Center can help you answer these and other difficult questions related to your career planning. Perhaps you will spend some time taking self-assessment instruments to help you choose a major or find out more about career fields and your personality preferences. Or, you might spend some time with a professional staff member discussing your ideas and dreams (or lack-thereof!) Whatever the case, planning is essential.

To assist in your planning, we have developed your “Key to a Successful College Experience�...

QUICK QUIZ: CAREER DECISION MAKING Respond to the following career-related items with either True (T) or False (F). _____ 1.

Career choice is a one-time event rather than a process.

_____ 2.

Your college major predicts your future with a good deal of accuracy.

_____ 3.

Your self-concept plays a large role in career choice.

_____ 4.

The unexpected has an impact on your career development.

_____ 5.

_____ 6.

_____ 7.

_____ 8.

_____ 9.

_____ 10. The majority of students entering four-year colleges have decided on an area of concentration and never change their major.

13

CAREER DECISION MAKING ANSWERS 1. FALSE.

2. FALSE.

3. TRUE.

4. TRUE.

5. TRUE.

6. TRUE. 7. TRUE.

8. FALSE.

9. TRUE.

10. FALSE.

Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes made by students in their career planning is the belief that the choice of major or first job will last a lifetime. Research studies have shown that the average worker can expect three to five career (not job, career) changes during a lifetime.

Your choice of major is just one of the initial steps in your career planning. Your choice of major does not automatically equate to only one specific occupation. Instead, the paths open to you will be varied according to your interests and abilities.

It is an accepted view that an occupational choice is a way of implementing your selfconcept. In fact, your choice of occupation can be viewed as a kind of measure of what’s important to you, how you wish to be perceived by others, and the kinds of values that are important in your life.

No matter how completely and thoroughly you plan, events will happen that will lead you to change your mind. Perhaps a summer job, volunteer work experience, travel opportunity, or conversations with a professional might open a completely new set of alternatives for your consideration.

Career choice is a process that extends over time. Your career goals may need to be compromised in light of realities of available college curriculum, the availability of jobs upon graduation, money available to pursue graduate or professional school, etc.

Your choice will determine how your time is spent, who your friends will be, what values you embrace, where you live, and what pattern of family living you will adopt.

For the most part, we continue to do the things that we are good at because we get recognition and rewards for them. Being aware of what you can and cannot do (well or not at all) is an important factor in making a career choice.

After confirming the person has earned the required bachelor’s degree (not necessarily major), employers begin to evaluate candidates by their “skill sets” and personality…not major.

You know the old saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.” The statement has vocational merit. It’s a proven fact that certain types of personalities tend to gravitate toward compatible work environments.

The majority of students entering college for the first time are not sure about what they plan to major in. Even those students who have declared their major often times are not entirely decided. Also, the majority change their major at least once!

14

INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEWS AND NETWORKING One of the best ways to learn about different careers and opportunities is to talk with someone involved in that kind of work. Finding out first-hand what tasks are involved in a position can help you make more informed choices. You can gain contacts several ways...the telephone yellow pages, the CCC Alumnae Association, CCC professors and staff, family, and friends (to name a few).

Remember three things: 1. You are not asking for a job. You are simply asking for information and advice.

2. You have the responsibility to yourself to seek advice and information from those who can best help you.

3. Finding a mentor(s) can be very valuable. Mentors are people, experts in your field, who take an interest in you and your professional development, advise you, help you along, and put you in touch with opportunities. You will also need to develop professional contacts -- people in, or related to, your field -who help each other out by exchanging information about what's going on, including job opportunities.

Once you have some names, phone numbers and email addresses‌Contact them!! It is best to explain who you are, why you are contacting them, and that you would appreciate 15-30 minutes of their time. By asking questions of these people, you will gain the most valuable inside information and advice about how to succeed and what steps to take toward your career. Many professionals would be glad to meet and discuss their career. Give it a try!

15

Some Pointers for Informational Interviewing Be specific about your purpose and intent. Tell them you would appreciate 15-30 minutes of their time. Make it clear that you are looking for information, not a job.

Set a specific time and date. Offer to go to the person's office. Do not ask them to go out of their way for you.

Do some research about the department and function the person’s position, so that you can ask intelligent, informed questions. Your research can be based on reading written material, websites, or by talking with other people.

Be prepared with a clear set of questions for the interview (several provided below). You are in a position to guide the conversation through the kinds of questions you ask. Walking in and asking, "Tell me about your work" may not result in getting the information you need.

The interviewees may feel you have wasted their time. Your interest, preparation and planning will be remembered by the interviewee.

Present yourself professionally (as if you were applying for a job). The contact may be invaluable later, so don't miss the opportunity to make a good impression.

Close the interview by thanking the person for their time and valuable information provided. Ask for names of other contacts and whether you can use their name for a reference.

When you get home, take notes from the interview that you can refer to later on. These may help you make some future decisions.

Send a brief thank you note. It helps to keep the door open for future contact!

Informational Interview Questions You Could Ask: Please describe a typical workday for you.

How did you prepare yourself for the work that you do?

How much did your (undergraduate) major relate to the work that you do?

What is most rewarding about your work?

What are your biggest frustrations in this work?

Is demand for your kind of work increasing, decreasing or stable?

When people leave this kind of work, what usually drives them away?

Are there any particular areas of study on which I should concentrate?

Is there anything I can do to make myself more qualified for this type of work?

After having discussions with these professionals, you will be able to more clearly understand not only the industry and position…but what you must do over your years at Cedar Crest College to prepare. You must begin developing the skills and abilities that will make you marketable in the field.

Don’t have time to conduct an informational interview? Check out our online resource of pre-recorded informational interviews, CandidCareer.com. You can contact the Career Planning Center to gain access.

WHAT ALL EMPLOYERS WANT The Top Ten Skills!

What do employers want to see when they begin evaluating college candidates for employment?

The entire package! Extracted from responses to the question, “What are the five most important skills or competencies that a candidate needs to possess in order to be considered for employment?” The “total package” that candidates should possess includes: The Total Package: Candidates need to be academically prepared in their discipline as it pertains to their employment – this is considered a given by employers. Plus, they need to demonstrate: 1. Communication Skills – solid verbal, written, and listening abilities.

2. Computer/Technical Aptitudes – computer ability is now perceived as a given core skill and expected ability levels continue to rise.

3. Leadership – the ability to take charge or relinquish control (followership) according to the needs of the organization/project/team.

4. Teamwork – working cooperatively and collaboratively with different people while maintaining autonomous control over some assignments.

5. Interpersonal Abilities – relating to others, inspiring others to participate, or mitigating conflict between co-workers.

6. Personal Traits – demonstrating a combination of these is also integral: a.

initiative and motivation

b. flexibility in handling change and ambiguity c. hard-working (work ethic) and reliability d. honesty and integrity e. ability to plan and organize multiple tasks f.

ability to provide customer service

The Wrapping: Several skills or experiences bind “the package” and are essential to holding it together.

Employers believe without these skills, a candidate may not be able to deliver the package.

7. Critical Thinking/Problem Solving – the ability to identify problems and their solutions by integrating information from a variety of sources and effectively weighing alternatives.

8. Intelligence and Common Sense – enough said!

9. Willingness to learn quickly and continuously.

10. Work-Related Experiences that provided an understanding of the workplace and served to apply classroom learning. ~ adapted from the Recruiting Trends Report, Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University
