Apa Course and Career Yang Sesuai Dengan Kita?

Assalamualaikum. mari sambung our quest, searching for the right course and career. bosan kan? time ni la nak bosan, jangan pulak bosan bila salah buat keputusan. if you choose the wrong course and career, you'll regret it laterrr, alligatorrrrr. tetiba.

So Very Important Points - SVIP!

let me introduce you to my very own method, SVIP! ciptaanku sendiri ni.

SVIP stands for Strengths, Values, Interests and Personality. these are the points which are very vital, screaming for our consideration. let's elaborate a lil further, shall we?

1. Strengths

kekuatan, kebolehan. bakat, terer buat, buat tanpa rasa penat, buat naturally with little energy. ce fikir pencapaian akademik, koko, and social korang. markah tinggi subjek membaca atau mengira? lagi terer melukis atau menulis? wakil tennis peringkat sekolah? pertandingan kejuruteraan peringkat kebangsaan? pembimbing rakan sebaya? itu semua kena ambil kira!

kalau handal menghafal, boleh jadi doctor. kalau berbakat melukis, boleh jadi designer. contohnya lah, gua doctor tak nak, designer tak layak.

2. Values

apa yang korang pentingkan? pencapaian? jadilah politician ke, scientist ke. menolong orang? jadilah lawyer ke, psychologist ke. kreativiti? jadilah penulis ke, pengarah filem ke. duit? jadilah engineer petronas ke, tauke dadah ke.

fikir apa yang penting pada korang, cari kerjaya yang dapat puaskan korang.

3. Interests

what fascinates you? catches your attention? enjoy doing? hobby? suka tengok bulan? major in astronomy. suka baca buku? major in literature. minat dengan mayat? major in forensics. hobby stalk orang? major in facebook.

seriously, your interest matters. this will prevent you from waking up with the weight pulling you to bed like gravity, moaning every single day and faking sick every single morning. cos you do what you hate. forget how it feels? ingat balik perasaan terpaksa pergi sekolah bila korang taknak. at least school can be fun, ada kawan, subject, cikgu, orang yang kita minat... kerja? setiap hari sama. sampai pencen derrr.

4. Personality

macam aku cakap dalam post sebelum ni, personality yang sama type dengan work environment memerlukan energy yang paling sikit sebab semuanya datang dengan semula jadi. oleh itu amat penting untuk kita tahu jenis personality kita, supaya kita tahu jenis pekerjaan yang sesuai untuk kita.

ada jugak psychologically proven personality and career test yang sangat membantu, kalau korang buat test tu, korang akan terpana, terkesima, teruja, siap tanya "HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ME SO WELL?" korang akan ternganga.

nantilah aku blog pasal test tu, post berkenaan akan panjang berjela. post ni pun tak habis lagi.

Holland's Theory

obviously ni bukan theory aku, tapi theory someone named Holland, maybe. theory ni pasal personality type dengan work environment type. the hypothesis is if your personality type matches your work environment type, you're more likely to be successful and satisfied.

personality yang sama type dengan work environment paling sesuai, contohnya Artistic person in Artistic work environment. a personality type juga agak sesuai dengan work environment type yang paling dekat, contohnya Artistic person can work in Investigative or Social work environment, referring to the hexagon. tapi a personality type sangat tak sesuai dengan work environment type yang bertentangan, yakni yang paling jauhlaa. contohnya Artistic person akan miserable kerja in Conventional work environment. so the theory is personality types closest to each other are more alike than those farther away. refer hexagon tu k.

so amacam? 

dah tau dah personality korang? tak percaya dengan theory ni? suka hati. tapi aku  nak cerita pasal abang aku.

dia dari kecik suka gila binatang. rumah kitorang dulu pelbagai spesis binatang peliharaan ada, rumah macam taman, banyak jenis pokok, siap ada kolam ikan. semua tu dia yang jaga. dia nak kerja something yang ada kaitan dengan binatang, macam vet and zoologist. malangnya takde sape nak kasi scholarship kerja camtu (sesuatu yang mungkin akan jadi pada aku). tapi dia dapat dua scholarship. electrical engineering kat UK, mechanical engineering kat US. sebab dia kata UK boring, US lagi best, makanya sekarang dia seorang mechanical engineer di TNB. untunglah pandai gila sampai boleh pilih nak study kat negara mana, siap fly before result SPM keluar segala. untunglaaaaah.

point kisah abangku ini ialah Holland's Theory boleh diguna pakai. aku rasa personality type dia Realistic. dia suka binatang, boleh kerja dengan machine, tak suka social activities, workaholic balik rumah tengok tv tengok ikan je.

ni aku nak cerita pasal aku pulak.

i'm somewhere between Investigative, Artistic, and Social. kalau tengok dekat hexagon tu, tiga-tiga tu sebelah-sebelah. kalau ikut hati aku nak jadi Artistic je, habiskan hidup dengan menulis. tapi itu boleh jadi back up plan. tak, back up plan di sini tak bermaksud aku lagi suka yang lain tapi aku gunakan menulis tu sebagai second choice in case tak diterima oleh pilihan pertama. ouch that hurts, to be the second choice. back up plan di sini bermaksud menulis akan jadi kerja part time aku, walaupun aku laaagi cintakan bidang penulisan. ada faktor yang memerlukan aku untuk memilih kerja lain sebagai kerjaya tetap. sama ada astronomer/astrophysicist (Investigative) atau psychologist (Social). kenapa aku minat mereka? lain kali aku cerita.

point kisah aku yang bosan dan takde kesimpulan ni ialah, Holland's Theory boleh diguna pakai.

korang pulak camne? teori ni boleh pakai tak?
