  3. Contributions of Three Theorists • John Krumboltz: planned happenstances • JoAnn Harris-Bowlsbey: Technology and Career guidance • John L. Holland: Holland’s typology

  4. Krumboltz and “planned happenstances” • Purposed: • we know that chance factors play an important role in most people’s careers, • we should cultivate the capacity to create, recognize and incorporate chance events into our ongoing career management. • most people will admit that unplanned events played a role in their careers • what they may not see is how their own actions contributed.. • “planned happenstance”—creating and transforming unplanned events into career opportunities.

  5. John Kruboltz 1. Recognize that planned happenstance is already in your career history. Consider: How have unplanned events influenced your career? What actions did you take before or after the unplanned event that led to a positive outcome for your career? 2. Use your curiosity to lead you to new opportunities for learning and exploration. Consider: What arouses your curiosity? What are you voluntarily reading? How could you further explore what excites you? 3. Take concrete steps to produce desirable chance events. Consider: What steps could you take to create a chance event, such as visiting sites of interest, taking classes or networking via email with others working in your area of interest? How can you act now to increase the likelihood of a desired event?

  7. John Holland • typological theory (Holland, 1997) • theoretical connection between personality and environment • same RIASEC classification system • if a person and an environment have the same or similar codes, e.g., Investigative person in an Investigative environment, then the person will likely be satisfied and persist in that environment (Holland, 1997). • His theory of vocational personalities and work environments revolutionized the delivery of vocational assistance worldwide

  8. Holland’s influence • The Holland Hexagon Model or Holland Codes is the basis for most of the career inventories used today.  • The Holland Codes is a system to classify jobs into • job categories, • interest clusters, or work personality environments.  • work personalities • Work personalities • Realistic • Investigative • Artistic • Social • Enterprising • Conventional.
