Selected Items for the Seven Sources of Career
Indecision
11
the important lesson to be learnedon career
indecision is that the selection of a career goal
is not positive or negative per se but is
dependent on the circumstances. Being undecided
about ones career because of a lack of
sufficient information (i.e., developmentally
undecided) is appropriate. By contrast, being
career decided but ignoring ones true interests
and talents could prove to be a source of
dissatisfaction for the individual

Hypervigilant employees tend to make career
decisions in a reactive mode without adequate
time for reflection, preparation, and thinking
through their options and alternatives. Often,
this results in a decision that is not compatible
with the employees values, talents, and
interests, thereby setting up a cycle of
dissatisfaction or failure. For such
individuals, getting away from everyday pressures
and concerns to have proper time to reflect is
critical.
