As a counselor, I will be required to understand the personality type a person and how the individual’s career decision is made. In sum, career development is vital in assisting a person to the journey to a successful and comfortable life. Career development is used to guide a person to their personal fulfillment and accomplishments. As aforementioned above, my worldview on career counseling proposes an integrated approach that addresses the various components of individual living. The Cognitive Information and Social Cognitive Perspective enhances my worldview by allowing me to obtain a holistic view in the client’s world. The Trait and Factor theory complimented my worldview, because it focuses on the individual's capacity and total self when assisting the person with a career choice. The Person-in-Environment approach/Ecological theory as suggested by Bronfenbrenner appreciates the importance of the physical environment and how it influences one’s beliefs and values. Thus, which I believe also play a significant role in career choice.
