Planning Your Career In A Week by Wendy Hirsh,Charles Jackson Pdf

Planning your career just got easier Very few of us put much effort into planning for the kind of career we want. Thinking about where we are going at work is something we all need to do throughout our working lives. The nature of work and employment is always changing. When economic times are difficult, you need to show potential employers that you have something special to offer. You may also need to be more flexible in your plans. New kinds of jobs emerge all the time and many labour markets are becoming increasingly specialized. This means you need to find out more about the kinds of jobs that interest you, and you need to understand what employers are looking for and how people get these jobs. By working through a simple series of steps and exercises, you can help yourself to be clearer about what you want, what your options are, and how to move forward. Exercises in each chapter will help you build a collection of information and reflect on what you are learning about yourself and the process of career planning as you go along. Planning Your Career In A Week looks at one step in this process of career planning on each day of the week: Sunday: What do you want from work? Monday: What kind of job would you enjoy? Tuesday: What are you good at? Wednesday: Identifying your career options Thursday: Collecting information Friday: Making the choice Saturday: Taking the first steps

Library Services for Career Planning, Job Searching, and Employment Opportunities by Byron Anderson Pdf

Taking a broad approach from career counselling theory to recommendations of major sources of career and job information, this book, first published in 1992, covers subjects such as cooperative programs between librarians, career planning professionals, and job search counsellors and the evaluation of career-related materials. It emphasizes the constant demand for career and job information regardless of economic conditions. Librarians can act as intermediaries to help patrons locate career and employment sources dispersed throughout the collection, demonstrate their proper use, and guide them to additional useful sources. Specific chapters explain how to expand career and job services by networking with other community resources and developing a strong core collection of the best resources available. Other ground breaking topics analysed include employment and labour market trends for the 1990s, unemployment services in libraries, evaluation criteria for career resources, essential career planning and employment materials, specialized collections for relocation literature, and employment of persons with disabilities.

The Internet by JoAnn Harris-Bowlsbey,Margaret F. Dikel,Margaret Riley Dikel,James P. Sampson Pdf

This publication for career counselors is an easy-to-use, practical guide to identifying useful websites, incorporating them into career planning services, and gaining awareness of ethical concerns. "Overview: Websites in Support of Career Planning" (JoAnn Harris-Bowlsby) describes four categories of career planning websites: assessment, database searches, information gathering, and communication. For each type, website capabilities and counselor/career development facilitator involvement are detailed. "Sample Websites" (Margaret Riley Dikel) identifies and describes specific websites, organized by the four categories. "Potential Problems and Ethical Concerns" (James P. Sampson, Jr.) discusses the following: the quality of resources and services offered on the Internet, individual readiness for Internet use, availability of user support when needed, credentials of resource and service providers, lack of counselor awareness of local conditions and events, confidentiality and user privacy, and equality of access to Internet-based career resources and services. "Models of Use of the Internet in Career Planning Services" (JoAnn Harris-Bowlsbey) addresses use of websites in conjunction with one-to-one counseling, group approaches, and computer-based career information and guidance systems. Appendixes include guidelines for Internet use for career information and planning services, standards for the ethical practice of counseling on the Web, and an index. (YLB)
