To Year10s
On my office door is a photograph of a well-known professional golfer.
Above the photograph is a quotation by Confucius, the famous Chinese
philosopher: Choose a job that you love and you will never have to work
a day in your life. The key to career satisfaction is doing what you enjoy
most.A few people discover what they enjoy early in life, but most dont. Were
torn between what we think we CAN do, what we (or others) feel we
OUGHT to do, and what we actually WANT to do.
The aim of this booklet is to help you discover your skills, values and
interests and the careers that align with these personal qualities.
Mrs Watson and the Year 10 Career Education Teachers.
Prepared for the use of Year 10 Students at John XXIII College.
This booklet contains selected information and material from My System of CareerInfluences ( McMahon, Patton and Watson, 2005) and the Career Interest Test createdby James Athanasou at the University of Technology, Sydney.

Case StudyDougie
1. Read the following case study.
2. In groups of four answer questions 1-4 and complete the Circle of
Influences.
Dougie lives in a coastal town and attends the local secondary school where he
is in Year 12. He attends school because he thinks completing high school may
be useful in the future and because his parents want him to go on to study,
preferably at a university. To do so, he would have to move away from home
and he doesnt want to despite the fact that his parents tell him that they will
support him. He dislikes school intensely and only does well in technology
studies and physical education. Physical education gets him outside the
classroom and enables him to do something rather than just sit in a
classroom. Dougie likes technology studies because he finds it useful and it is
more practical. As part of his technology studies class, Dougie attended a short
course at the local TAFE which he enjoyed more than school. He is passionate
about surfing and on weekends Dougie spends most of his time in the surf with
his friends. When he is able, he even tries to go surfing before or after school.
He finds surfing relaxes him when he is worried or stressed by school. The
more Dougies parents encourage him to study so that he can go to Uni, the
more concerned Dougie becomes that he will disappoint his parents, and the
less able he feels to discuss his future with them. Sometimes when he doesntstudy, he has arguments with his parents.
Dougie is becoming worried that he doesnt know what to do when he leaves
school, especially since some of his friends already know what they want to do,
and a couple have even organised jobs with local employers when they leave
school. One of his friends is going to work at the local surfboard manufacturer.
Dougie has had a look at the factory where his friend will work and it doesnt
appeal to him. It is unlikely because of his school results that he would go to
university immediately after school. He knows that his parents will expect him
to do more study. He has thought about becoming a lifeguard because he couldwork outside a lot, and when he did work experience as a builder, he enjoyed
it. He particularly enjoyed working on a job as a member of a team of builders.
In the last school holidays he worked with his uncle, a plumber, and found he
enjoyed the variety of work. In fact he liked building and plumbing much more
than his part time job working at the checkout in the local supermarket.
Dougies uncle also owns a big boat that he goes fishing in. Dougie would like
to own a boat like that one day and thinks he might be able to make a lot of
money as a builder.

Dougie is approaching a time in his life when he will have to make a career
decision the end of secondary school. As he is finding out, career decision
making is not necessarily a straightforward process. Much seems to be
influencing the decision he will make, the influences are quite diverse, and
they all seem to be interrelated. For example, Dougie is beginning to learn
more about himself as a person and what is important to him. In particular,
he has realised that he likes practical, hands on outdoor work where he gets
some variety. He is also realising that his relationships with his family and
friends are important and that he wants to maintain them by not moving
away from home. He is also starting to think about the future, the amount of
money he may make and what he would like to own.
Question1. What makes Dougie unique as a person? For example,
what are his skills and talents, and what sort of a person is he?

What do you really mean when you say that you want to work with people?
Most career fields involve some degree of people contact, but working with
people can take many forms. Do you want to directly help peoplein need, or
create programs that will help them? Are you interested in managing the
efforts of others, or are you more comfortable as a member of a team?
Working with people is as varied as people themselves.
This activity is designed to get you thinking more specifically about the ways
in which you would like to work with and for people. This understanding will
be helpful in researching different careers.
First, give each of the following people skills a score using the scale of 1-4
1 = YES! This sounds like me.
2 = This sounds pretty interesting.
3 = Im not sure about this.
4 = No! I dont like this at all.

Plan and Prepare
Someone famously said 'people never plan to fail, they just fail to plan'.
Planning and preparing for a part-time job means understanding the workcommitments that your employer imposes, how the additional hours at a job
will affect yourstudy and other family routines and whether you can adequately
cope with the additional work. Parents/caregivers should be actively involved
in this process to guide children through this new responsibility.
Negotiating what you want
Many Year 11 and 12 students who work negotiate with their employers to
work less hours during their final year. It is important that you have an open
discussion with your employer and negotiate time off during exam periods or
when major assessments tasks, (which are part of your school results) are
due. Be upfront with your employer about your commitments from the start
and be precise about when such breaks from work are required.
Students studying some Vocational Education Training (VET) courses
are required to complete mandatory work placement as part of their
studies and this placement should be considered as part of their studies.
As with all things, remember the key to fitting in part time work with study is
balance and priorities. Before you commit yourself to a part-time job, answer
yes to all of these questions:
1. Can I fit work in and still do all of my study and maintain my grades?
2. If I work will I still have time left over for recreation?
3. Will the job be flexible around my study and exam commitments?
4. Have I got my parents approval about getting a job?

:EJXS 5=?DF Z 2HGB "EOOH=OBI=>School is more than books and assignments.
It is important to maintain balance. Balancing commitments
is especially important to senior high school students. Being able
to balance your school commitments with social, recreational and
family life is important for a happy and healthy lifestyle.
Key ways for students to achieve this balance include: having a set of
priorities and goals; being as positive as you can; having support networks
of people you can talk things over with; and being prepared to tackle
problems early and work out ways to manage them. There is no perfectway of 'doing the TEE. Each student needs to be supported to find
his/her own way of managing their lives at this stage. If things are notgoing well at school or there are other pressures it
is useful to know that there are other pathways to Uni and TAFE.
Remember that while you are at school and studying you are gaining life
experience as well as building and making a positive contribution to your
future life.
Things to remember
Time managementCarefully managing your time will allow you to study as well as take
time to watch TV, go out with friends and participate in extra
curricular activities such as sport.
Planning and discipline
Select a time for study when you concentrate the best and develop a habit
of studying at this time. Some students prefer the early morning, others
the afternoon or night. Try to make this study time when there are fewer
distractions around you.
Exercise
Exercise is time consuming - but don't put this off. A healthy lifestyle helps
you feel more positive and more energy. It also helps concentration. Play
a sport, get outside for fresh air and exercise and try to do this on a
regular basis. Even 10 minutes of fitness activity each day has benefits.
And don't forget, relaxation exercises are also helpful.
(The School Counsellors can give you more information on relaxation
techniques)

Manage your stress
It's the rule rather than the exception for student
to feel nervous before exams. This is not
necessarily a bad thing. Aim to keep your
routines as normal as possible during exam
periods.
On the day before an exam, stick to your revisionplan. On the night before, have an early night,so that you give
yourself the opportunity to get plenty of sleep and wake up alert.
Learn to say no
Your friends want to go out but you're committed to studying for thatEconomics exam? Then, say no. It's the only way your plans for therest of the week will stay in place.
