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."

This means that the student will have had to..."

Career-Planning Websites, 2004.
This paper discusses career-planning websites.

Abstract
This paper explains that career assessment, important to determining the correct career path, can be attained through many sources including online websites. The author evaluates two sites and finds them defective: Maryland?s CareerNet and a website by the Arizona State University Career Services. The paper suggests that an improved career-planning site includes an online interactive quiz to give people an idea of careers of which they might be interested, links to available jobs in their area, capability to post resumes and to review information about the employer, and has counselors available by telephone and Instant Messenger.
From the Paper
"The first CareerNet link I followed was to the ?My Future? website (http://www.myfuture.com). The first note about this site is that it is extremely pro-military, while trying to hide behind the facade of a non-biased website, and this not-very-subtle propaganda is undeniably in poor taste. The Career Toolbox section of this site includes assistance with resume and cover letter writing, interview preparation, more military propaganda, and quizzes. The Work Interest Quiz is the main career assessment activity. These 60 statements each have a check box next to them, and if any of these activities line up with the interests of the quiz-taker, they are to be marked."

Women's Career Development, 2008.
This paper explores career development for women in the workplace.
1,592 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains the process of career development and why the challenges are often greater for women. The paper explores women in the workplace today and the concern that they experience a glass ceiling that prevents them from rising to the higher levels of the corporate world. The paper concludes that for women to move even higher and increase their numbers in the boardroom, they must give more attention to career development and overcome some of the stereotypes still promulgated by society.
From the Paper
"Career development is a process that can begin as early as grade school and that becomes a formal process in high school and into college. The process involves an analysis of capabilities and preferences and matching these to a career path that may then help the young person decide on courses of study and other actions geared to achieving the goals set. The process continues into the individual's work life, with companies making decisions about employees, suggesting career moves, and providing added training and instruction as needed to help employees in the development of a career. The challenges are often greater for women in career development because they may be acting as pioneers in areas previously closed to women, or at least with limited experience with women, and so they have to help form their career path to a greater degree than men who can emulate those who have gone before."

Abstract
Women have been making great strides in American business communities by using managerial techniques, educational theory and psychological approaches to Glass Ceiling issues, as more women learn to operate their own businesses. The articles presented in this review relate the methodology and research that reveal the success of women in starting their independent business ventures, and how they can be implemented for practical usage in the 21st century.
From the Paper
"This article review will reflect different theories relating to entrepreneurial women and how they interact within patriarchal business institutions. By actively pursuing articles that relate to the development of women as leaders and business owners in the modern business era, we can qualitatively and quantitatively convey entrepreneurial studies for alternatives in business practice. As more women learn to operate their own businesses, women have been making great strides in American business communities by using managerial techniques, educational theory and psychological approaches to "Glass Ceiling" issues."

Abstract
The paper discusses the conclusions of economic historian, Claudia Goldin, that women have a difficult time in beginning a family and embarking on a career in the business world. The paper looks at M. Ferber and C. Greene's study that determined there were more females that were capable of achieving a family and professional life than had been previously suggested. The paper also examines a study by B. Probert on why women were not in higher levels of organizations. The paper explains the conclusions that the factor of the family affected women in their quest to achieve the highest goals in business and not merely gender inequality.
Outline:
Experimental Design
Case Study
Survey Research
From the Paper
"Ferber and Greene (2003) discuss the issue of a study conducted by Goldin in which the author suggested that women had a difficult time in "having it all". The term "having it all" referred to the ability to begin a family, while at the same time embark on a career in the business world. The researchers used a literature review experimental design for their work, evaluating the points of Goldin's article. Primarily the researchers determined that the issue of women having careers and families was described by Goldin as being difficult to achieve. Yet, Ferber and Greene (2003) concluded that not only did this conclusion lead women to believe that there was no point in attempting their personal and professional goals, but that it was inaccurate. Ferber and Greene (2003) determined that there was a vast number of women that were capable of achieving both goals, but that they were still unequal members of society."

"Revolving Doors: Sex, Segregation and Women's Careers
by Jerry A. Jacobs
According to Jacobs, sex segregation in the workplace reflects not only the obstacles women face in male-dominated jobs, but also the aggregate instability in the careers of individual women. Such a view contrasts with attempts to explain gender inequalities in the labor market as resulting strictly from the cumulative effects of socialization processes, on the one hand, or from purely economic forces, on the other. Jacobs attempts to demonstrate the validity of his thesis through examining the consistency of competing job segregation models with the behavior of women in the labor market. Although the forces of social control operate at all levels to limit women's ..."

A Gendered Career - Women and Technology, 2008.
A look at the argument that modern technology has had an effect on gender roles.
2,602 words (approx. 10.4 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 78.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that the appropriation of new technologies has had a great impact on the changing face of the female gender role. The paper uses the arguments presented by Ruth Schwartz Cowan in her article, "More Work For Mother" as a starting point to discuss domestic technologies from the early twentieth century to those of today. The paper also refers to an article and book written by Christine Frederick (1883-1970), one of the earliest women to merge the public sphere of business and the private sphere of the home as well as other scholarly articles dealing with the domestic sphere. The paper concludes that the literature demonstrates that, in the beginning bearing children was practically the main occupation of women, but as time progressed and medical advancements were made, this duty, instead of being an addition to a woman's resume, remains a headliner. Living in the 21st century most Americans no longer fully support the idea that we should divide labor by gender but the belief that women, not men, are primarily responsible for the care of the home is still not uncommon.
From the Paper
"In today's society being a homemaker has in many ways returned to what it originally was. Housewives of the 21st century are often of the middle to upper-middle class, enjoying nannies and maids. Those who aren't in this economic division but are sill homemakers also may rely on much of what Christine Frederick so strongly preached about, scientific home management. With busy schedules and constant activities housewives of today have a lot on their "to-do" lists. What I am finding as I begin to enter the career world is that there is a great divide between women who choose to stay at home and women who choose to pursue careers. It has now become a statement of self worth as if women who remain in domestic arenas have let down the grand progressive movements of feminist. "

Lesson Plan from Unit One
From the Paper
"Jean Piaget the noted to child development expert postulated that there were four operational stages of intellectual development. These students are just entering the fourth or "formal" operational stage meaning that they can begin to think abstractly and move beyond simple concrete ways of thinking. (Child Development Institute, 2006) Onset of this stage allows for exploration of adult roles as student thinking grows more flexible.
"According to psychologist Erik Erikson there are eight stages of social development through which individuals pass as they mature. At this age students generally are entering the fifth stage and the major developmental task is role identity. Adolescents discover who they are as members of society meaning that most students begin to think of workplace roles (Harder, 2002). Career education can assist this development."

However, with the increase in New Zealand's number of participants in the labour market, issues regarding the immigration policies have surfaced. Among the problems that trigger issues on immigration policy are the apparent rate of unemployment among the nation's locals as well as the unemployment of some migrants."

Career Development and Minority Women, 2007.
A look at the problem of career development among African-American women.
2,070 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 65.95
»

Abstract
This paper examines how African-American women often face special problems when it comes to finding jobs that offer decent salaries, benefits and opportunities for growth and advancement. It looks at how traditional prejudices against women in the workforce combine with prejudice against African-Americans and minorities, in general. It also discusses how many of these women are less educated and less well-trained than White American women and how cultural factors, too, may enter into the equation, adding up to misunderstandings between employers and their female African-American employees.
From the Paper
"The recognition that Black Women are living and working in two different cultures is of great significance both to their own efforts at success, and also to the attitudes of the majority White society toward them and their careers. White managers and employees must not treat cultural differences as disabilities, or even worse, as abhorrent factors that render success and advancement impossible for African-American women. For instance, a willingness to work very hard must not be taken as some sort of confirmation of the idea the idea that Black Women are "born" to do all of the hard work; that they are not "cut out" for the more refined intellectual and managerial responsibilities.

From the Paper
"The next important process in career planning is setting up your long-term and short-term goals. In practical terms, this would mean deciding about what work you would like to do, now, in 2 years from now and 5 years from now. 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."
