– Desirable content, nature and conditions of work.

To determine the importance of each requirement.

Determine how much all these requirements are significant. Maybe there is a less important requirements which, by and large, can not be taken into account.

assess their compliance with each of the appropriate professions.

In addition to those requirements that you have for the profession, there are requirements of the profession. Consider, if you have developed professional quality, responsible if your intellectual ability, psychological characteristics, health status requirements of the profession.

Errors in the choice of profession

Attitude to the choice of profession as unchanging phenomenon.

In every field of activity is a change of employment, positions with increasing skill person. The greatest success is achieved one who was good initial step.

Analyze the situation on the labor market. Pay attention to the fact that every year there are new profession. Be prepared for the fact that you have to regularly raise qualification, develop related specialties. Do not be afraid of what is now the choice of profession, 9, or 11 grade, fatally determine your entire destiny.

Prevailing opinion on the prestige of the profession.

With regard to trade prejudices manifested in the fact that certain important social professions, occupations deemed unworthy, indecent (eg janitor).

Economist or psychologist is no more useful to society than a chemist or a mechanic. Kudos to the profession should be taken into account – but after taking into account your interests and abilities. Otherwise, you will own (if you) “fashionable” but not pleasurable specialty. Or, God forbid, will prove to be unsuitable to perform basic job functions ..

Choosing a profession under the influence of friends (for the company to keep up).

The profession we choose for their “taste” and “size” as well as clothing and footwear.

The feeling of the group orientation to their peers – are very positive features of guys your age. They need to develop norms of behavior in society, forming the image of “I” and self-esteem. Therefore, look back on the other, comparing (yourself with friends), rather than blindly repeating. Try to see what you are different from his comrades – and what you are similar. It helps to understand that if John is a fireman (he – risky people), this profession you may not like (you’re very careful and thoughtful).

Transfer the relationship to the person, the representative of a particular profession, the profession itself.

When choosing a profession we must remember, first of all, especially of the activity, rather than to choose a profession just because you like or dislike the person who engaged in the activity.

Especially dangerous is the charm of the teacher (if you admire sincerity physics – that does not mean that you like physics itself, is “set”). In addition, children often make the mistake of trying to get a profession idol – athletes, politicians, journalists, artists.

Passion is only the external, or any private party profession.

The ease with which the actor creates on stage image is stressful everyday work. Journalists do not always appear on television – often they shovel a lot of information, archives, talk to dozens of people – before preparing the 10-minute message.

The identification of the subject with the school or the profession a bad distinction of these concepts.

There is such a thing as a foreign language, and professions that require a lot of capacity for language – translator, guide, telephonist international communications and others. Therefore, when choosing a profession, we must remember what real employment and occupation are the subject of this.

It is necessary to analyze the stands with vacancies at the employment center (there is usually indicated what kind of education is required for a particular job). For example, a person with linguistic education (“Ukrainian Language and Literature”, “foreign language” at school) can work a teacher and translator, and editor, and the secretary – referent. Moreover, keep in mind that there are more jobs than school subjects. You can be a lawyer, marketer, apparatchik. The profession can normally be associated with several school subjects (usually correspond to the university entrance exams for admission to this profession). For example, future economists school can like both math and geography.

Outdated ideas about the nature of work in the sphere of material production.

In all professions, and above all in the workers implemented a complex and interesting appliances, increases the work culture (and the computer implemented absolutely all spheres of activity – up to the livestock).

Inability / unwillingness to understand their personal qualities (inclinations, abilities).

Understand yourself you will help to professional counselors, parents, teachers, comrades.

Useful may also be psychological tests, as well as articles and publications on popular psychology.

Ignorance or underestimation of their physical characteristics, weaknesses, essential when choosing a profession.

There are professions that you may be contraindicated because They can worsen your health. Such professions bit and include primarily those that require long-term stress of various physiological systems. Computer scientists strongly straining his eyes, and the pilots – the heart of …

Ignorance of the main action, and the order of operations when solving, thinking about the problem in choosing a profession.

When you decide to math problems, then perform specific actions in a specific sequence. It would be wise to do the same when choosing a profession.

The value of the correct choice of profession..

The choice of profession, work, providing professional growth and material wealth, social recognition – one of the major concerns and challenges of each person. But it is often decided at the level of intuition, or under the influence of mood, superficial impressions of parental whim, through trial and error.

The French thinker Saint-Simon wrote that the cause of almost all the turmoil in society become “failed vocation, profession and imposed arising from this discontent and evil passions.”

This is true not only with respect to “high” intellectual professions, but also the simplest, most ordinary. Mediocre politician, military leader, manager, lawyer, doctor – a real disaster. But a lot of trouble and damage from incompetent plumbing, a TV technician, a turner and a baker whose hands and head is clearly not suited to the task.

The problem of choice of profession has objective sources and bases. What are they? Between people, as well as between occupations, there are strong differences. Thus, the reaction rate, awareness and decision making variation in performance large group of people up to 3-4 times; identified as significant – about 1120 – variations in temperament and character. Some combination of certain features of a person directly or indirectly tends to specific occupational groups.

We pick and choose us. Combining the right person with the relevant individual characteristics of his profession, office, get a big payoff in increasing the productivity and quality of labor, the reduction of accidents, occupational diseases, growing prosperity, income, job satisfaction and life. Departs trash, it becomes less whiners and crooks.

These are the effects and potential of the right career choices.
