    and personality. Parson noted that the people perform best when they are in jobs
    suited to their abilities and developed the talent-matching approach
    .

    careers are established by the interaction between our personality and environment.
    Something like, we want to work in jobs with people like us. Holland believes that in
    choosing a career, people prefer jobs where they can be around others who are like
    them. They look for work that will let them apply their skills and abilities, and
    express their attitudes and values, while taking on enjoyable problems and roles.
    Holland’s theory is focused on the belief that most people belong to one of six
    personality types: RIASEC (realistic / investigative / artistic / social
    / enterprising / conventional)

    3. Super’s Theory – Donald Super introduced the concept that developing a sense
    of self and realizing that an individual change over time, is important when planning
    one’s career. One of Donald Super’s biggest contributions to career development in
    his emphasis on the value of the development of self-concept.

    follow the plan, because unplanned events can lead to good careers. This is an
    optimistic outlook can help turn destiny into opportunity. John Krumboltz developed
    ideas about backing up in decisions in his clients. He said that indecision is desirable
    and sensible, as it allows the prospect for clients to benefit from unplanned
    occasions. This theory is called planned happenstance.
