Counselling and career development

Your career influences

Where do your career ideas come from? To know where you are going you need to understand where you come from. Please think how the following people, things and events have influenced you.

School subjects
Friends

Family

Money
Media (TV, movies, internet, radio)
Economic/ job trends
Role models

Think about other people or events that have influenced you.

Chance events have a huge influence on careers. Think about the times when something happened that you did not plan for and could not control, but that impacted on your career direction, such as how you heard about Unisa or got your first job. Make some notes about a chance event that influenced your career decision.
