"Noli Me Tangere" is a 19th Century novel by Jose Rizal that dramatically

showcases the persecution of a socialite in the Philippines by religious

hypocrisy and corruption. Rizal's main character, Juan Crisstomo Ibarra y
Magsalin, has returned to the Philippines from abroad.

Noli Me Tngere (Latin for Touch Me Not) is a novel written by Jos Rizal,
one of the national heroes of the Philippines, during the colonization of the
country by Spain to expose the inequities of the Spanish Catholic priests and
the ruling government.

Originally written in Spanish, the book is more commonly published and read
in the Philippines in either Tagalog or English. Together with its sequel, El
Filibusterismo, the reading of Noli is obligatory for high school
students throughout the country.

El Filibusterismo (lit. Spanish for "The Filibustering"[1]), also known by its

English alternative title The Reign of Greed,[2] is the second novel written
by Philippine national hero Jos Rizal. It is the sequel to Noli me tangere and,
like the first book, was written in Spanish. It was first published in 1891
in Ghent.

The novel's dark theme departs dramatically from the previous novel's
hopeful and romantic atmosphere, signifying the character Ibarra's resort to
solving his country's issues through violent means, after his previous attempt
at reforming the country's system have made no effect and seemed
impossible with the attitudes of the Spaniards towards the Filipinos. The
novel, along with its predecessor, was banned in some parts of the
Philippines as a result of their portrayals of the Spanish government's abuse
and corruption. These novels along with Rizal's involvement in organizations
that aim to address and reform the Spanish system and its issues led to
Rizal's exile to Dapitan and eventual execution. Both the novel and its
predecessor, along with Rizal's last poem, are now considered Rizal's literary
masterpieces.

La Loba (Fierce Angel) is a Mexican telenovela by TV Azteca. It premiered

on 2010. The protagonists are the international stars Ivonne
Montero and Mauricio Islas. Grand actors such as Regina Torne, Omar Fierro,
Ana Ciochetti, Fernando Becerril, and Marta Aura also included as cast
members.

Career planning is an ongoing process that can help you manage your learning and development.
You can use the four step planning process whether you are:
still at school;
a school leaver;
an adult adding on skills; or
an adult changing your job or career.
Career planning is the continuous process of:
thinking about your interests, values, skills and preferences;
exploring the life, work and learning options available to you;
ensuring that your work fits with your personal circumstances; and
continuously fine-tuning your work and learning plans to help you manage the changes in your life and the
world of work.
You can revisit and make use of this process all the way through your career.
Step 1: knowing yourself
Begin by thinking about where you are now, where you want to be and how youre going to get there.
Once you have thought about where you are at now and where you want to be, you can work on getting to know
your skills, interests and values.
Begin by asking yourself the following questions:
Where am I at now?
Where do I want to be?
What do I want out of a job or career?
What do I like to do?
What are my strengths?
What is important to me?
At the end of this step you will have a clearer idea of your work or learning goal and your individual preferences.
You can use this information about yourself as your personal wish list against which you can compare all the
information you gather in Step 2: finding out. Your personal preferences are very useful for helping you choose
your best option at this point in time, which you can do in Step 3: making decisions.
Step 2: finding out
This step is about exploring the occupations and learning areas that interest you. Once you have some idea of
your occupational preferences you can research the specific skills and qualifications required for those
occupations.
Explore occupations that interest you and ask yourself how do my skills and interests match up with these
occupations?
Where are the gaps?
What options do I have to gain these skills or qualify for these occupations?
What skills do I need?
Where is the work?
At the end of this step you will have a list of preferred occupations and/or learning options.
Step 3: making decisions
This step involves comparing your options, narrowing down your choices and thinking about what suits you best
at this point in time.
Ask yourself:
What are my best work/training options?
How do they match with my skills, interests and values?
How do they fit with the current labour market?
How do they fit with my current situation and responsibilities?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each option?
What will help and what will hinder me?
What can I do about it?
At the end of this step you will have narrowed down your options and have more of an idea of what you need to
do next to help you achieve your goals.
Step 4: taking action
Here you plan the steps you need to take to put your plan into action.
Use all you have learnt about your skills, interests and values together with the information you have gathered
about the world of work to create your plan.
Begin by asking yourself:
What actions/steps will help me achieve my work, training and career goals?
Where can I get help?
Who will support me?
At the end of this step you will have:
a plan to help you explore your options further (eg work experience, work shadowing or more research); or
a plan which sets out the steps to help you achieve your next learning or work goal.
Decide which step is relevant for you right now and start from there.
Choosing a career is unquestionably one of the most important decisions you'll ever
make. It impacts just about every facet of your life. It determines how much money
you'll make, how much you'll work each week, where you'll live, when you can
retire, and quite possibly whether or not you pursue a family. On average, we're at
work over 70% of each year, which equates to nearly 35 years over an average life
time. Making a good career choice can be the difference between a life filled with
satisfaction or a life filled with disatisfaction and disappointment. While you don't
need to stress over choosing a career, it isn't a decision to be taken lightly either.

There are those individuals that know from a young age what they wanted to be
when they grow up, but they are the exception. Most of us don't know what we want
to be when we grow up, even after we've grown up. It's not uncommon for people to
choose a career simply because they have too. They put very little effort into
choosing an occupation or they choose an occupation for the wrong reason. High
pay, prestige, recommendation by a friend, and security are just few wrong reasons
people choose careers. Then they end up feeling stuck and unhappy. Proper and
thorough career planning is the key to choosing an occupation that will lead to
many years of fulfillment and satisfaction.

The career planning process has four components: (1) Self Assessment, (2) Career
Exploration, (3) Career Identification, and (4) Action Plan. If you're driven, you can
easily go through these steps on your own. You also have the option of working with
a career development counselor who will help facilitate the career planning process.
Whether you go at it on your own or work with a career development professional,
the thought and energy you put into the process will determine how successful you
are.

Self Assessment
Trying to find a career without being self aware is like trying to run a race not
knowing where the finish line is. How can you know which career path is going to be
most satisfying, if you don't even know what you're all about? You can't. That's why
self assessment (sometimes referred to as a career assessment) is such an
important part of the career planning process. During the self assessment process
you'll use tools designed to help you learn more about your interests, values,
personality, aptitudes, skill sets, developmental needs, and preferred work
environments, so you can make an informed career decision. By the end of the self
assessment process you'll have identified various occupations that are good fit for
you.

Career Exploration
Based on the results of your self assessment, you should now have a list of
occupations that appear to be a good match with your values, interests and skill set.
Next, you'll want to narrow this list down to about ten occupations. Go through the
list and eliminate those careers that you know you're not interested in. For example,
even though you'd make a great police officer, and the career is a good match with
your values, interests, and skill set, you know you don't want to work in a job that
requires you to carry and shoot a gun. In addition to researching individual
occupations, you'll also want to research industries that you'd like to work in. Other
very effective ways to explore careers (and which we highly recommend) include
conducting informational interviews with industry professionals, job shadowing, job
temping, internships, and volunteering.
Career Identification
As it's name suggests, the career identification component the career planning
process is when you select just one occupation, among the many you've considered.
During this step you'll indentify the occupation that you're most interested in, as
well as few alternatives to fall back on if your first choice doesn't pan out. Now that
you know which occupation you're going to pursue, you'll want to prepare to enter
your chosen field. Identify all the requirements (e.g. education, costs, etc.) for
entering your chosen career field.

Create an Action Plan

The final step in the career planning process is to create an action plan. The action
plan is designed to help you reach your goals. It's like a road map that takes you
from choosing a career to finding your first job all the way to achieving your long-
term career goals. In your action plan you should identify your short-term and long-
term goals, identify education and training requirements for your career, develop a
job search strategy, identify potential employers, create a resume, compose cover
letters, and prepare for job interviews.

Many people believe the career planning process is only for recent college grads
who are trying to land their first job, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. The
career planning process is a useful tool you can apply throughout your career as
you redefine yourself and your occupational interests, and as your goals evolve.
