Module 2 Discussion: Internet Research

Internet in the contemporary world is being used extensively for finding information on any topic. The internet is also an excellent source for finding career-related information ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"OgLNJlAf","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Golding et al.)","plainCitation":"(Golding et al.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":106,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/7JTC2UNH"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/7JTC2UNH"],"itemData":{"id":106,"type":"article-journal","title":"Using the Internet to facilitate career choices in psychology-related fields","container-title":"Teaching of Psychology","page":"60-66","volume":"45","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Golding","given":"Jonathan M."},{"family":"Lippert","given":"Anne M."},{"family":"Malik","given":"Sarah E."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Golding et al.). And I had a great experience while using the internet for locating data about the career which is most relevant to my personality. Browsing a suitable and relevant website was a bit challenging, but overall the experience was good, and I found it really useful.

I started to find the career-related information on the internet by entering keywords in google. The keywords I used were CPA and accountant. It gave me definitions of CPA and their job description. It was a bit hard for me to relate the career of CPA and accountant with my personality type, and after a various combination of keywords, I found a few websites which gave career-related information according to my personality type.

From these websites, I found enough information about my career and my personality type. The websites gave a SWOT analysis of the career I chose and also explained how this Job is suitable for my personality type. All this information was useful because now I have a profound understating of my career, the future of accounting and how I can deal with my weaknesses in my professional life.

Fulvio Castellacci and Vegard Tveito in their article have stated that the internet promotes wellbeing because it provides information and provides an excellent mean for communication ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"LojOBzbk","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Castellacci and Tveito)","plainCitation":"(Castellacci and Tveito)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":108,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/N73K3LND"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/N73K3LND"],"itemData":{"id":108,"type":"article-journal","title":"Internet use and well-being: A survey and a theoretical framework","container-title":"Research Policy","page":"308-325","volume":"47","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Castellacci","given":"Fulvio"},{"family":"Tveito","given":"Vegard"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Castellacci and Tveito) Hence this is also true for career-related information. However, I feel that the drawback of using the internet is that the information is only provided by the scholars and opinion of experts in the field is missing. Despite this the information was up-to-date, and I will use the internet to get job-related information in the future because this practice was time-saving and cost-effective.
