wa'alaikum slm my friend,zaitun.

Thanks 4 sharing your sister's experience.In my opinion,I think that is the reason why we as the future counselors need to study CAREER DEVELOPMENT subject to make sure problem regarding career will not exist among our students in the future.One question from me is,was your sister got help from anybody before she decided to further her study in economics in the university?.If no,it was counselor's fault because the counselor did not provide any career information to students and I think the counselor is not a good counselor because the counselor already ruin your sister's life.The counselor should know your sister interest and aptitude and make she realize in what area she want to specialize in the university.Can I give suggestion to your sister?.If can,I suggest her to apply teachers'programme under Education Minister because I can see your sister are very interested to become a teacher and for sure she has talent to teach.Am I right?.For your information,luckily...accounting or economy and math are the most marketable courses in education.I have read recently that math teacher are critical course and always welcome to join to become a teacher.Also,the salary are also high...I heard the starting salary is from number 4000++.So,tell her about this good news!.Wassalam.

::REFLECTION::

Salam to everyone..

Regarding to Raffeza Sanadi's question, I want to give my opinion based on my experience as a student, who has the 'great' opportunity to study at the school which is situated in the rural area.. Actually, the situation was not very bad where all primary and secondary school were equipped with the facilities including the internet access during I study there and nowadays, the situation might be better than what I have undergo before. Meaning that, there supposed no problem when it comes to seek a lot of information about CARRER. But, the real problem of rural area students which is the great barriers for us to move on is, the mentality and perception of the people around us-teachers,counselor,etc..

Although the internet access was there, we are not allowed to use it because they said, once we surfing the internet meaning that we wasting the time to entertainment-It shows the limitation in their mind!! It is because they might think that the scope of seeking knowledge is within the classroom only. In addition, may be that was one of the way for them in order to save the teenagers from being expose and influence to the bad thing.But, for me, that way is ABSOLUTELY WRONG..

As I mentioned before, although my school has the counseling unit but, it works more at advising the students who involved in the discipline problem. I only go there once in my lifetime to asking the advantage of form six and because of that counselor is like not interested to give the information, I make the decision to further the study in IIUM Matriculation Centre (currently known as CENFOS).Alhamdulillah, I took the right decision although the decision that I make is like the 'blind people without the stick' and I only refer to the internet.

That is why most of us at that time had the initiative to go to the cc (cyber cafe) in order to surf the internet if we want to get the information about the career. Not only that,my family provide the internet acces in my home (I owe a lot to my family) and it takes time to get the internet access through the phone line..Don't we realize that,just because of the perception of the other people, it can give the huge and bad impact to the rest? Pointing finger to the one side is not fair but, in this situation if the administrator of the school is not play the role,of course the function of the school as a agent of distributing the knowledge and skills is not works.-Thank you for reading my opinion & experience!

salam to everyone..... =)

Hello everybody.....
how are you?may allah bless you and give u good health... =)
welcome to this blog and i hope we can share anything here that will benefit each other,insyaallah...
this is such a very interesting activity as Dr.Siraje said in the previous class,we do not have enough time to discuss every single thing in the class...
so this blog is really beneficial for us in order to make us a knowledge explorer! =)
in the previous class,i want to reflect about the 'trapped' isssue...
i want to relate this thing into school setting like what dr.siraje said,there are so many teacher nowadays who are 'forcing' themselves to be in the wrong track.they are taking other courses,they are not interested in teaching at all,they dream about another profession,but in the end they have no choice because of the job market that make them difficult to get a job after graduated from the university,so this situation make them choose the teaching profession as the last choice and then they decide to take KPLI in order for them to be a teacher.they are seem like taking a high risk to do something that they do not love at all and this is very bad because it can give bad effect to the teacher and as well the students such as stress and depression for the teacher and the students will not have interest in learning and maybe they have some difficulties in the process of learning..
from my past experiences in secondary school,my counselor was not really emphasized on the importance of career development on the students.the students are not really aware about their tendency on which field they should be and its really confusing.i believe that counselor should make effort in order to give SDS test to the students since they were in form1 so they will know better about their tendency on which career because this test is really beneficial to inform us whether we are in the field of social,realistic,artistic,conventional,enterpreneur and so on.
i want to leave a question here,what is your opinion about the school in the rural area,dont u think that they have high possibility on difficulties in order to get career information very well because of the facilities of accessing to the internet?they also have good potential student but isn't this thing make them lagging behind?
that's all,wassalam... =)

assalamualaikum to everyone..

Nice to meet you all again(-_^)...hem,for career development subject for sure that you all must have many opinion,experiences and questions regarding this subject.In this blog, we can share anything.I hope that we can share any opinion from you all.As a good counselor, we have to know abour career development.It is very useful to our students and it is also important to us as a counselor to have basic ideas about the career development nowadays.I have one question to you all......Nowadays we can see in job market,if the employer wants to hired employee the major things that they see is skills such as communication skill,leadership skill and many more.They do not really look at the cgpa..eventhough the students have good cgpa the employer looks more at skills rather than achievement in study.My dear friends,I want to tell you that nowadays employer do not look much on experience,but what they need is their employee must have soft skills .I read it in newspaper recently...They encourage fresh graduate to apply the job.So, we cannot blame the employer because not hired the fresh graduate. In my opinion who have to be blame for many fresh graduate are jobless is GOVERNMENT.Why I said like that?It is because they are really emphasize on exam oriented and not really stress on practical.
