5. The career planning process has four steps
Step 1: KNOWING YOURSELF (Skills, likes/dislikes and values)
Step 2: FINDING OUT (Exploring what is out there)
Step 3: MAKING DECISIONS (Comparing options)
Step 4: TAKING ACTION (Working towards your goal

6. PRELIMINARY THOUGHTS
In our culture most people are stronger in one
personality type than another.
All professions may require to some degree, all
personality types.
People who work in a profession and
environment that fits their “personality” tend
to be successful and satisfied.

7. JOHN HOLLAND
Holland believed that career
choice is an extension of a
person's personality.
People express themselves,
their interests and values
through their work choices
and experience.

8. SUMMARY OF HOLLAND’S THEORY
1. In our culture, most people are one of six personality
types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising,
and Conventional. Some refer to these as Holland
Codes or RIASEC

9. SUMMARY OF HOLLAND’S THEORY
2. People of the same personality type working together
create a work environment that fits their type.
For example, when Artistic persons are together on
a job, they create a work environment that rewards
creative thinking and behavior -- an Artistic
environment.

10. SUMMARY OF HOLLAND’S THEORY
3. There are six basic types of work
environments: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic,
Social, Enterprising, Conventional.
"Work" includes doing things to achieve a purpose,
like paid and unpaid jobs, volunteering, sports, or
hobbies.

11. SUMMARY OF HOLLAND’S THEORY
4. People search for environments where they can use their skills and
abilities and express their values and attitudes.
For example, Investigative types search for Investigative
environments; Artistic types look for Artistic environments,
and so forth.

12. SUMMARY OF HOLLAND’S THEORY
5. People who choose TO WORK IN AN ENVIRONMENT SIMILAR TO THEIR
PERSONALITY TYPE ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND SATISFIED.
For example, Artistic people are more likely to be successful and
satisfied if they choose a job that has an Artistic environment, like
choosing to be a dance teacher in a dancing school -- an environment
"dominated" by Artistic type people where creative abilities and
expression are highly valued.

13. SUMMARY OF HOLLAND’S THEORY

14. SUMMARY OF HOLLAND’S THEORY
6. How you act and feel at work depends to a large extent
on your workplace (or school) environment.
If you are working with people who have a personality
type like yours, you will be able to do many of the things
they can do, and you will feel most comfortable with them.

38. consistent Personality Patterns
Notice that the personality types
closest to each other are more alike
than those farther away. You can see
this most clearly when you compare
the personalities opposite each other,
on the hexagon.
For example, read the description of
the types for Realistic and Social. You
will see that they are virtually the
opposite of each other. On the other
hand, Social and Artistic are not that
far apart.

39. Inconsistent Personality Patterns
Hexagonal Model
Sometimes the six Holland personality types
(Holland Codes) combine in unusual ways in
people.
For example, if you read the descriptions of the
Investigative (I) and Enterprising (E) types, you
would not expect a person to have them both as
his or her two strongest personality types.
Investigative people generally avoid leading,
selling, or persuading people. Enterprising people,
on the other hand, are just the opposite; they like
these activities. And, there are two other
"inconsistent" two-letter codes: Realistic-Social
(RS or SR) and Conventional-Artistic (CA or AC).

40. "Inconsistent" Occupations & Majors
There are many occupations and college majors that attract, or are compatible, with
persons having an inconsistent personality pattern, where they are advantaged:
Social-Realistic/
Realistic-Social:
Teachers of agriculture, forestry,
career and technical education,
and technology, Recreational
Therapy, Bus Drivers, Physical
Therapy, Athletic training and
sports medicine, Occupational
Therapy and the
majors/training programs that
prepare these workers.

41. "Inconsistent" Occupations & Majors
There are many occupations and college majors that attract, or are compatible, with
persons having an inconsistent personality pattern, where they are advantaged:
Social-Realistic/
Realistic-Social:
(Advantage: You can imagine,
for example, how a person with
a SR or RS code might be
attracted to becoming a Career
and Technical Education
Teacher. . . and excel in it!)

42. "Inconsistent" Occupations & Majors
There are many occupations and college majors that attract, or are compatible, with
persons having an inconsistent personality pattern, where they are advantaged:
Enterprising-Investigative/
Investigative-Enterprising:
Sales Engineers, Urban and
Regional Planners, Managers in
engineering, mathematics, and
natural sciences, Sociologists,
Scientific reporters, Editors of
technical or scientific
publications, and the related
majors.

43. "Inconsistent" Occupations & Majors
TIPS:
 If your personality combines in an unusual way, keep in mind: You are not abnormal or
an "inconsistent" person; we all have differing gifts; value your uniqueness.
 Choosing a career or a college major is likely to be more challenging, but there are
many for which you are uniquely qualified. And, once you are in a career, you will likely
find opportunities to do tasks, or related jobs, that better fit you.
 You may need to look for ways outside of work to satisfy the other side of your
personality.
 Professional career counselors are well qualified to help. You may want to seek the
help of one.

44. INTROVERSION-EXTROVERSION
Studies show that four of the Holland personality types are significantly related to Introversion-
Extroversion (I-E).

45. INTROVERSION
• Interest in self: the tendency to self-absorbed and uninterested in
other people and the world around

46. EXTROVERSION
• Interest in things outside self: interest in and involvement with people
and things outside self

47. INTROVERSION-EXTROVERSION
if your dominant personality is
Investigative or Realistic,
you likely fit near the Introversion
end of the I-E scale.
If you are high on Enterprising or
Social, on the other hand,
you are more likely to be high on the
Extroversion end of the scale.

48. INTROVERSION-EXTROVERSION
Extroversion as a
Cultural Ideal
- Susan Cain

49. INTROVERSION-EXTROVERSION
Tips for Introvert:
1. Learn about yourself.
2. Appreciate and
value who you are
3. Choose to act as an extrovert knowingly,
thoughtfully
4. Read books like Quiet
5. Consider introversion when you are making
important personal decisions

50. MISTAKES TO AVOID WHEN SELECTING A CAREER
 Listening to People Who Tell You That You Should, or Should
Not, Do Something:
 Following in Someone Else's Footsteps
 Not Doing Your Homework:
 Not Talking to Those in the Know:
 Going for the Money, Honey
 Ignoring Who You Are
 Not Considering Location, Location, Location:
 Not Looking Beyond a "Best Careers" List:

52. The Holland personality types are strong predictors of the majors
students choose, and the impact of this choice lasts far beyond
student learning and success in college -- job stability, salaries
earned, job satisfaction, and career opportunities.
(Porter & Umbach, 2006)
The more students choose a college major compatible with their
“Holland personality type”, the more likely they are to:
 Earn higher grades,
 Persist in their choice of major,
 Graduate on time, and
 Be more satisfied and successful in their career
(Kristof-Brown, et al., 2005).

53. College majors and personality….
The key to finding a satisfying career is to match your fundamental
interests and personality type with occupations.
A Social person would go crazy sitting alone in an office all
day.
An Artistic person would probably hate having to conform
to a set of
strict rules in a job.
That is why career and vocational test can be so helpful.
AND…
Assessments using Holland Personality Types provide information on the
relationship between job personalities and key characteristics, college majors,
hobbies, abilities, and related careers.

54. students/counselees take charge.
54
Students are responsible for
making their education and
career decisions, managing
their career and controlling
their destiny.
Their career will affect their
future lifestyle of fulfillment as
well as where and how they
live, their financial security,
their leisure time activities,
etc.

55. Career Exploration
Reach your potential by seeking
career guidance they need to start a
career path that leads to a rewarding
future.

56. Questions?
Thank you! Keep up the good career
path, for yourself, family, others,
and above all for the glory of God.
