The art of developing a career : a student's guide

The guide is a compilation of the student's book and supplementary information in the form of "helper notes" placed next to the appropriate student material. Features of the book include previews and reviews, student activities, and summarizing cartoon illustrations helpful to nonreaders. Based on the phases of learning--exploration, understanding, and action--the guide develops programs for expanding career alternatives, narrowing career alternatives, and developing a career program. Highlighted in the chapter on expanding career alternatives are the processes of exploring and evaluating occupations in terms of personal interests and levels of educational achievement. Emphasized in the chapter on narrowing career development are the development of personal values and an understanding of their relationship to occupational requirements. The development of a career action program is stressed in the chapter on the career program. The concluding chapter deals with the phases and dimensions of life development.
