 Everything in life is about choice; Even
God says in the scriptures “choose Life”
 To be happy, successful, fulfilled in life is a
matter of choice
 You have nobody to blame if you are not
successful or fulfilled, it is your choice
CAREER CHOICE
 There is a strong link between the
career you choose and your purpose in
life.
 Your Career is the vehicle that carries
you to your purpose
What is Career?
Career is a way of making a living,
a profession or work which may
require certain levels of learning or
training. It is a life-long job,
professional progress, a vocation
or occupation that a person goes
into and therein makes a living.
You can for instance have a career
in education, law, music,
engineering, medicine, etc.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF CAREER?
Simply put: To meet societal
needs and/or add value to the
society/people
There are many needs around us
waiting to be met, identifying and
meeting them may turn out to be
a career for you.
 “Needs” – Morally and legally right
Are there good or
bad Careers?
No career is good or bad in itself.
What is important is the person
behind the career and what
he/she can do with the chosen
career
HOW TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE
 What not to do:
 Choosing based only on financial
consideration
 Choosing based on pressure from
peer or parents
 Choosing for the sake of choosing
MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE
 What to do:
 Understand yourself: Self-
knowledge is very important because
it leads to self-discovery and self-
discovery leads to self-actualization
which ultimately leads to fulfillment in
life and career.
 Analyze yourself:
Carefully and honestly determine your
intellectual and interactive strength and
weakness. Find out what you are good at so
you can discover your innate abilities i.e.
your talents.
 To discover your talent, ask yourself the
following questions: what is it that you do so
well? Where do you think you have an
advantage over your colleagues? What do
you enjoy doing with little or no
encouragement? Your answer to these
questions might be your talent.
 Discover your interest:
Based on your discovery about yourself, find
out what career or type of job arrests your
personal interest. Your interest is what you
like to do, many people describe it as “what I
would like to be in the future”. Sometimes it
is your life’s goal and ambition. Whatever it
is, you need to know it and the earlier the
better for you.
 Understand your Options
Obtain as much information as you possibly can
about the various career options that are
available to you, particularly, those that arouse
your interest.
 To understand your options fully, things
you will need to find out include what the
career is about, requirement(s) for the
career, mode of training, duration of
training, where the career is available,
prospects of the career, challenges of the
career, what the career entails, what it
takes to successfully go into the career,
the demand of the career on you and so
on.
Discuss
- Discuss it with your parents and career
guidance teacher or counselor. They are there to
guide you and sure know more than you do.
- However, it is your own duty to make your
choice. “Listen to advice but make your own
decision ultimately”.
 No one can truly know what works for you,
so carry out your own research and make
an informed choice taking into
consideration your talents, interests and
ability.
Keep God in it
Without God, you have no career. The surest
way of making the right choice not only in
career but in life generally, is to seek the mind
of your creator.
This you can do by praying sincerely and
waiting upon Him. “Trust in the Lord with all
your heart. Do not rely on your own
understanding. In all your ways acknowledge
Him, and He will direct your paths”. “I will
instruct thee and teach thee in the way which
thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye”.
These are infallible promises you can count on
Having made your
choice, what next?
Making the right choice is not the end;
you need to work hard to make your
dreams come true, else it may at the
best become one of the greatest
dreams that never saw the light of the
day
Whatever career you end up
choosing, you need to distinguish
yourself if you don’t want to be
roaming the street in search of job.
 Have behind your mind that it is much better
to become a job creator rather than a job
seeker. So begin to think on this and working
towards it.
THE FUTURE BEFORE YOU IS BRIGHT.
WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT ?
Thank you for Listening

Making the right career choice

  • 1. MAKING THE RIGHT CAREER CHOICE BY By Emmanuel Adewuyi www.thepurposedrivenachiever.com Emmanuel Adewuyi www.thepurposedrivenachiever.c om

  • 13.  Discover your interest: Based on your discovery about yourself, find out what career or type of job arrests your personal interest. Your interest is what you like to do, many people describe it as “what I would like to be in the future”. Sometimes it is your life’s goal and ambition. Whatever it is, you need to know it and the earlier the better for you.
  • 14.  Understand your Options Obtain as much information as you possibly can about the various career options that are available to you, particularly, those that arouse your interest.

  • 16. Discuss - Discuss it with your parents and career guidance teacher or counselor. They are there to guide you and sure know more than you do. - However, it is your own duty to make your choice. “Listen to advice but make your own decision ultimately”.
  • 17.  No one can truly know what works for you, so carry out your own research and make an informed choice taking into consideration your talents, interests and ability.
  • 18. Keep God in it Without God, you have no career. The surest way of making the right choice not only in career but in life generally, is to seek the mind of your creator. This you can do by praying sincerely and waiting upon Him. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths”. “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye”. These are infallible promises you can count on
  • 20. Making the right choice is not the end; you need to work hard to make your dreams come true, else it may at the best become one of the greatest dreams that never saw the light of the day
  • 21. Whatever career you end up choosing, you need to distinguish yourself if you don’t want to be roaming the street in search of job.
  • 22.  Have behind your mind that it is much better to become a job creator rather than a job seeker. So begin to think on this and working towards it.
