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."

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."

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."

"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."

"To begin, I will discuss the concept of personal financial planning, including a brief definition of personal financial planning. In simple terms, personal finance planning refers to the process of managing personal assets in order to achieve personal economic satisfaction. Personal financial planning can encompass a wide variety of strategies, including budgeting, investing, insurance, career planning, and perhaps the most obvious of all retirement planning. Given the breadth of personal financial planning, a wide variety of areas must be considered, and several complex and interrelated decisions must be made in the process of individual financial planning.

Many individuals give considerable thought to developing professional goals, however, unless they are clearly written, they are soon forgotten.

From the Paper
"The initial efforts of the postwar reconstruction called the Marshall Plan actually provided very little benefit to the nation of Greece. Part of that may be attributed to the fact that Greece had a major Civil War between 1946 and 1949 therefore the world's attention for post war reconstruction following World War II turned to other nations.

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 and Technical Education, 2007.
This paper discusses career and technical education and looks at relevant literature on the subject.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that career and technical education (CTE) is traditionally identified as an academic track for students who are not seeking to engage in post-secondary studies. The writer points out that CTE is delivered to students both within the secondary setting and within programs and institutions that are designed to bring CTE directly to the student. However, integration of CTE into the curriculum has the potential to improve the quality of education for students who are planning to go to college as well as those who are not. The writer maintains that this is increasingly important in scenarios in which academic accountability and high standards of educational performance are critical components for a student seeking to enter into advanced education. This paper provides a brief review of the literature on these topics.
Outline:
Career and Technical Education for All Students
Accountability and the Need for Increased Learning
From the Paper
"This creates an educational environment in which the student is likely to avoid pleasurable coursework out of practicality; the arts and courses that have been identified as irrelevant to the student's core academic portfolio no longer have value. CTE coursework, however, can be integrated into the core portfolio as practical work experience, application of learned studies, or improved development in other areas that are not directly correlated to academic performance. This enables the student to develop a more well-rounded sense of self, a critical component that can set the college graduate apart in an era where admission transcripts from the college-bound student are remarkably similar."

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)."
