Effective Career Guidance - Career Guide

(Rick Simeone) #1

  1. As yet, you are undecided about what to
    do after your GCSE’s. Do you...
    a) Not worry about it? You’re confident
    some idea will come to you.
    b) Visit the careers library to find out what
    options are open to you and then arrange to
    speak to someone about it?
    c) Stay on at school as you do not want to
    make the wrong decision?
    d) Ask your family and friends what they
    think and find out what your best friends are
    intending to do?
    4. You’re faced with choosing a work
    experience placement. Do you....
    a) Look through the options and choose
    the one that is most appealing to you?
    b) Look quickly through the options,
    choose a few that interest you and then
    take into consideration travelling time,
    what will it bring you in terms of experi-
    ence, etc.?
    c) Choose three different placements
    and then wait to see which one you
    get?
    d) Choose a placement that some-
    one has recommended to you and one
    where you know someone who works
    there?\

  2. It’s Friday night. A few friends are go-
    ing to one place, others to somewhere else.
    You have to decide what you’re going to do.
    Do you....
    a) Flip a coin - you’ll enjoy yourself either
    way?
    b) Find out how much each will cost, what
    time they’re coming home, what lifts are
    available, etc? Then you decide.
    c) Spend half of the evening with one group
    or people, make your excuses and go to the
    other place for the rest of the evening?
    d) Not want to let either group down? How-
    ever, you go with those who are the most
    persuasive.
    6. You have two assignments that need
    to be handed in tomorrow. You only
    have time to do one. Do you...
    a) Do the one that interests you the
    most?
    b) Do the one that is most important in
    terms of marks?
    c) Try to complete both of them even
    though the standard won’t be as good?
    d) Do the assignment for the teacher
    who you like the most?
