Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that for the woman who chooses to pursue a career, managing that career means making choices not only about which path to follow at work, but also how to structure one's life and relate to one's goals of family, children, marriage and home. The writer points out that highly talented, ambitious women face enormous hurdles when attempting to achieve success in a traditionally male field of employment. The writer further notes that work as career, and achievement defined as climbing to the top of the corporate pyramid are viewed as attributes of a quintessentially male world. The writer concludes that career development for a woman presents issues that are absent from the same kinds of career choices made by most men. Further, the writer notes that a woman's choices are often determined by powerful social and cultural forces that shape her decisions.
From the Paper
"Yet it is not only the women at the top end of the career spectrum who are faced with these pressures to conform to traditional stereotypes. Those pursuing career paths that require less education and training are just as much the victims of societal attitudes that may cause them to accept less-than-fulfilling positions, at lesser rates of pay, and with fewer chances for advancement. Married women, or women with living with men, regularly find their own career choices limited by those of the men with whom they live. These limitations are not directly the result of any discriminatory practices, or indicative of a pattern of giving preferential treatment to the husband, rather they are the result of the fact that the man still tends to be the higher earner in the household. It is for this reason that a couple, or a couple with children, will more easily decide to relocate for the sake of the man's career, rather than for the sake of the woman's."

A career in computers is perceived today to be one of the most high-paying and respected opportunities for the new millennium. This paper briefly explores the different types of computer jobs available such as programming and database administration in order to show how a career in computers offers a wide range of opportunities and directions of specialization.
From the Paper
"Financial compensation depends largely upon the level of education and skills, as well as seniority at the place of employment. In 2003 for example starting offers for persons with a master's degree in computer science was $62,806 on average per year, while those with a bachelor's degree were offered $47,109 (Bureau of Labor Statistics). A person seeking to enter the profession may begin to do so by means of internships, co-op programs and computer science training courses. Background information regarding industries within the focus location of a prospective computer career is also beneficial. This may be obtained by entering a non-computer occupation such as financial services in order to gain background information that can later be transferred to specific computer professions (Williams, Pers. Comm). '

In my case, I have decided to make my career in Business Administration and Management. As far as my short-term and long-term goals are concerned, I am quite certain about them. My short-term goal is to find an entry-level Management position in a corporation engaged in International business. My long-term career goal is to become the best in the business. I realize that the long-term goal that I have set for myself is ambitious but I believe that if the aim is not high enough, a person does not challenge him/herself to the limits of his/her capabilities."

Abstract
Culture is a critical variable in career counseling and should enter into every part of the career counseling process. This paper explains that, in order to effectively utilize a valid frame of reference in which to place cultural variables, counselors need to be familiar with theories of acculturation, world-views, aspirations and expectations, societal barriers and intra-group socialization, and racial and ethnic identity development.The writer explains that it is clear that career counselors working with multi-cultural students must be trained in such a way as to ensure that they are completely sensitive to and well-versed in matching individual students to the appropriate work environment. It discusses how career counseling is a process occurring between two or more individuals and designed to help students reach a career decision. It concludes that, in order to be effective as a career counselor with racial and ethnic minority students, counselors must become skilled in cross-cultural counseling.
From the Paper
"Good career counseling always takes place within a cultural context, which is true regardless of ethnicity. Current theoretical models may not be adequate to explain the career behavior of racial and ethnic minorities. Vocational assessment has to be culturally sensitive, and only culturally appropriate tools should be used in vocational assessment. The goal of career counseling is to help clients make career choices that are culturally appropriate, rather than to try to have all clients make the same choices. Today, with the changes in the balance of ethnic representations in the United States, and a greater recognition of the changing needs of racial and ethnic minority members, it is generally agreed that counselors must be competent to work with a diverse population and effectively deliver vocational counseling services to racial and ethnic minorities."

Abstract
This essay identifies and explains the issues, challenges and demands of career management and development in the new world of work, for both individuals and organizations. It then recommends some practical ways to address the most important of these. In doing this, it first defines what is meant by career management and career development. It then places the essay in the context of the new world of work. This is done through a short explanation of the impact of e-commerce and globalization. It then looks at how this has impacted on the world of work in general, before looking at how it has effected career management and development for individuals and organizations.
From the Paper
"E-commerce has radically changed organizational structure, co-ordination systems and task specification, and thus the world of work. Job designs have become increasingly flexible, and a whole range of new issues are being raised. In fact, Furnham (2000) believes that, due to e-commerce, the world of work has changed. He looks at what he calls ?alternative work arrangements?. These include part-time employment (defined as varied work, taking up less than 30 hours per week), contingent employment (defined as when an individual is working for an organization, but is not considered a regular employee), flextime (defined as when employees vary their starting and quitting times, but are required to work a standard number of hours within a specific time period), compressed work weeks (defined as re-allocating the work time by condensing the total hours in the traditional five-day week into fewer days), and teleworking (defined as working at a location away from the traditional place of work, and involving the use of telecommunications and the electronic processing of information) ( Furnham, 2000)."

Gender, Career and Communication, 2007.
This paper discusses gender as it affects career development.
1,842 words (approx. 7.4 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 59.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at career choices and achievements as they relate to gender. The writer discusses that women's career development presents issues absent from the same kinds of strictly career choices made by most men. The writer maintains that a woman's choices are often determined by powerful social and cultural forces that shape her decisions in accordance with frequently false assumptions in regard to women's needs, abilities and aspirations. The writer concludes that a woman's career path is more often interrupted - and ultimately destroyed - as she sacrifices for the benefit of her husband or partner's career. The writer also notes that the prejudices that operate against almost all women are far worse for members of many minority groups.
From the Paper
"Yet it is not only the women at the top end of the career spectrum who are faced with these pressures to conform to traditional stereotypes. Those pursuing career paths that require less education and training are just as much the victims of societal attitudes that may cause them to accept less-than-fulfilling positions, at lesser rates of pay, and with fewer chances for advancement. Married women, or women with living with men, regularly find their own career choices limited by those of the men with whom they live. These limitations are not directly the result of any discriminatory practices, or indicative of a pattern of giving preferential treatment to the husband, rather they are the result of the fact that the man still tends to be the higher earner in the household. It is for this reason that a couple, or a couple with children, will more easily decide to relocate for the sake of the man's career, rather than for the sake of the woman's. Necessarily this choice makes the woman's career secondary. Her achievement is placed on hold not merely by this one interruption, but potentially, by a pattern of interruptions that ultimately results in a vastly reduced opportunity for advancement and success. In these instances, a woman is continually starting over while making sacrifices so her husband or partner can advance."

Career Counseling, 2007.
This paper looks at the value of attachment theory within career counseling.
1,436 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that to be an effective career counselor, a counselor must address the psychological needs and desires of a prospective client, not simply prescribe a career based needupon the individual's education as it fits into the current job market. However, the writer also points out that theories of matching personalities to career paths, or using an individual's hobby to suggest what he or she really ought to be doing, is only helpful in answering the question of what one would like to do. While answering this question is undeniably an important part of a career counselor's task, an equally frequent issue that occurs in counseling is when a person does not feel able to do a particular job. The writer discusses treating issues related to a lack of self-efficacy. The writer concludes that the counselor must help the client unburden him or herself of specific concepts of a lack of self-efficacy related to career skills and goals--but there also must be a more general component of raising the client's self-esteem and efficacy that is essential to fully realize the individual's maximum potential in the workforce.
From the Paper
"Answering this question by empowering the client's self esteem requires a certain basic knowledge of the concept of self-efficacy, one of the core concepts developed from the larger psychological theory of attachment. Attachment theory was the brainchild of the British psychoanalyst John Bowlby who wished to explain the intense distress experienced by infants separated from their parents, even for a short time. Bowlby stated that this response was a necessary evolutionary mechanism to ensure that children were cared for by their parents, and that the separation between child and parent was taken seriously. Bowlby theorized that children who grew up in a household with accessible and attentive caregivers grew up feeling secure and became greater risk-takers and more sociable because their basic needs for secure attachment and attention were satisfied. A child without such an available caregiver who was forced to cry without being comforted developed a sense of learned helplessness, a low sense of self-efficacy or ability to affect the environment, and eventually may sank into despair and finally, depression as an adult. A person whose attachment needs was unsatisfied as a child may be highly avoidant of new tasks that may provoke anxiety, as well as fearful of others."
