What is the most common misconception about career orientation?

Many people confuse “recruitment needs” with “suitable careers”. They think that choosing a “hot” industry with many job openings will make it easier to find a job. In reality, the most important factor is whether you have the competencies, skills, and attitude suitable for that job.

Career competencies include not only professional knowledge but also skills (both technical and soft skills) and work attitude. You need all three of these factors to succeed in your career.

So what should I do for effective career orientation?

When should I start career orientation? Do I have to wait until high school to care about it?

Career guidance should start as early as possible! Even when children are young, parents can observe them to identify their interests and strengths. As you grow older, you will have more experiences to understand yourself better. Don’t wait until high school to start, because then you will lose valuable time.
