Framework
Professional Goal
Diana S. Hunt said, “Goals are dreams with deadlines”. Dreaming about your future and then you try to make it happen within limited time, we call this goal. When I was kid, I dreamt to have a luxurious and well-known hotel like I saw in movies that time. Then I decided to study more about hospitality industry and here I am. In 4 years from now, I’ll be graduated from this hospitality school and have 2 years experiences in hospitality industry and in 5 years from now, I’ll work in a hotel either in Indonesia, my hometown, or abroad (European country or USA). I want to work in a 3 or 4 star hotel as F&B Manager because I want to know more about this department as my first job and make some money, and if my parents let me, I want to learn more about culinary. I am interested in culinary, too. If I can continue learning culinary, after I graduate from culinary school, I would like to gain experience in kitchen department as well.

  • Adult Career Counseling in a New Age

    2081 Words  | 5 Pages

    The changing workplace - a by-now familiar litany of economic, demographic, organizational, and social changes - has made ambiguity the only certainty in work life. Many adults had little or no career education, guidance, or counseling when they were "in school " and often seek such help now, making job or career changes spurred by their personal stage of development or by the "postmodern" workplace. Although career development is a continuous lifelong process, "media and some scholars continue to dramatize crisis in midlife" (Lea and Leibowitz 1992, p. 8). Crises and transitions can occur at any period, however. Hoyt and Lester (1995) found that the career needs of adults aged 18-25 are particularly not being met. The issues and implications of career counseling for adults in the kaleidoscopic context of today's workplace are the focus of this Digest.

  • Theories Of Career Development Theories

    1315 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to Holland (1985), the choice of a career is an extension of one’s personality into the world of work. Individuals choose careers that satisfy their preferred personal orientations. Holland developed six modal personal styles and six matching work envi¬ronments: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enter¬prising, and conventional. A person is attracted to the particular role demand of an occupational environ-ment that meets his or her needs. For example, some¬one who is socially oriented would seek out a work environment that provides interactions with others, such as nursing in a hospital setting. Holland and his colleagues have developed a number of instruments (e.g., the Self-Directed Search) designed to assist in identifying individual personality traits and matching those traits to occupational groups. Holland’s theory assesses each individual in terms of two or three most prominent personality types and matching each type with the environmental aspects of potential careers. It is predicted that the better the match, the better the congruence, satisfaction, and persistence (Holland, 1985). Holland also elaborated five secondary assumptions which he calls key concepts that describe the theory. These assumptions
