Android “KarirKu” Software Development for Exploration of Career Trends based on Personality Types

Abstract

The direction and career preparation of students has begun in early years. The process is influenced by multifactor, such as parenting, social environment, career insight, culture and other interconnected factors. However, based on various studies related to career planning and student decision making in higher education, there are still many students who have not been able to decide the direction of career choice appropriately and according to their personality, abilities, interests and talents. This phenomenon requires a step, a method and a concrete approach to assist students in establishing the direction of career choices according to their conditions. This approach was collaborated with the development of Android-based software using the Java-based Waterfall model. To support the development, a preliminary study was also conducted on the suitability of student career choices and the tendency to accept mental health services through the Android application. This research produced an Android software prototype called “KarirKu”
