  6. Exploring Contextual Issues • The Decision Viewing the event from a snapshot perspective i.e. what was happening, what were the influences • The Journey The process of getting to where you are today

  7. Contextual Questions: The Family • What type of advice have you received about career?…..What were your thoughts about what you heard?… • In your family were there any occupations that were highly valued (or not)?… • How were career decisions made in your family? • In looking at your current problem are there any similar or related situations that you have observed with family or friends (current or in the past).

  8. Contextual Questions: Agency • What were the challenges (internal and external influences) and how these were overcome? • Handling challenges in other aspects of life

  9. Contextual Questions: Spiritual • In making your career decisions does the spiritual domain play a part?… (If yes, then further exploration might ensue).

  10. Contextual Exercise: Learning • Paid and unpaid work positions (part time and full time) • What was learned in these positions ie. working hard is rewarded or not

  11. Career-O-Gram (Ambitions)Thorngren & Feit (2001) • 1. How old were you when you developed this goal? • 2. What aspects of this career most appealed to you? • 3. Compare your career ambition with others in your family, community, culture, etc. • 4. Chances of realizing the goal • 5. What actions would be needed to attain this goal? • 6. What important people in your life encouraged/discouraged you? Was this related to gender, social status, cultural background, etc.

  12. Systems TheoryMcMahon & Patton (2006) • View self at a particular point in time, then draw a circle in the center of the page. Write ‘ME’ in the middle. In the circle describe personality, skills, interests and so on. • Consider the impact of significant others and draw them as smaller circles intersecting the ‘ME’ circle.

  13. Systems Theory (cont’d)McMahon & Patton (2006) • Draw a larger circle around what has been drawn and list broader societal and environmental influences eg. growing up in a rural setting, income levels, government policies, etc. • Add one further circle. Comment on the past and the present. Example: hopes, how past events influenced choices.
