 More Career Video Libraries
Most career counselors recommend a planned approach to career decision-making: Take a career interest test that will lead you to matching occupations. Then gather information about the most promising possibilities, and select the career that fits best. The VCC’s Automated Advisor contains hundreds of videos linked to specific jobs and packed with career information designed to lighten the burden of occupational choice. The additional career video libraries in this tutorial can be used in similar fashion.
John Krumboltz, a world-class scholar in the career development area, argues instead that most of us make career decisions by accident. We come across possibilities that seem meaningful to us and pursue them, until perhaps we stumble upon more rewarding occupational alternatives.
Krumboltz and his colleagues are building a career video library at Inspired2Work.com. In contrast to the Automated Advisor videos that focus exclusively on the job, the videos at Inspired2Work spotlight the person in each occupation. Similarly, CareerVideos.com contains more than 600 job interviews with people who have found meaning in their careers.
You may:
- Window shop the career videos at Inspired2Work.com.
- Browse the videos at CareerVideos.com.
- Tour the multiple categories of videos produced by CareerOneStop.
- Review the occupational information and linked videos in the Automated Advisor.
In the spirit of providing other places to accidentally discover careers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has produced an excellent resource for window-shopping, and ASU offers “Voice of Experience Profiles” in which alumni describe their career journeys.
