Good job! Now, let us talk about Career Opportunities in Entrepreneurship.

One of the best things about pursuing a career as an entrepreneur is the wide-open possibilities. The possibilities
in entrepreneurship are limitless. The rewards can be great and abundant. Even the risks are certainly high, too.
But, if anyone has the opportunity, conceptual, and organizing entrepreneurial competencies but not yet ready to
start one’s own business, there are other ways to use the entrepreneurial skills.

Here are some of the career options for you!

1. Business Consultant. There are many start-up and struggling businesses that need people who can go
to a client site, identify problems and fix them.
• Helps companies to find their problems
• Recommends solutions to company problems
• Travels from one client company to another
2. Sales Manager. Someone who works in sales or runs the department needs to know how businesses
run. They need to know how to represent a company, manage accounts, and follow up on leads.
• Represents a company for a product or service
• Manages accounts for company
 • Follows up on customers interested in products or services
3. Research and Development Director. To work in R&D, there is a need to understand business
concepts, systems, procedures, and practices.
• Looks for useful facts and information
• Interprets data and makes conclusions
• Understands business procedures and practices
• Recommends courses of action
4. Not-for-profit Fundraiser. Being able to raise funds requires understanding the importance of
business and networking relationships.
• Organize events
• Raises money for a cause
• Builds networking relationships
5. Teacher. Teach students how to increase their entrepreneurial intention through acquiring the attitude
towards entrepreneurship, as well as the benefits of math to business, history to innovation, and
literature to persuasive advertising.
• Speaks in front of many people
• Inspires young people to have a vision for society
• Shares experiences and insights about business and success
6. Talent Recruiter. Companies who use recruiters rely upon someone being not just people savvy, but
having an in-depth business sense as well.
• Talks one on one
• Knows what motivates people
• Makes agreements with people
• Finds the right people for a position
7. Business Reporter. If one can write articles, or pick up a quick class to learn it, one is in a prime
position to take the lead on covering a local business beat.
• Interviews famous business personalities
• Explains about latest developments in business

Entrepreneurs create products, services, companies, and even industries. Some work for themselves, or
a family business. Others work within traditional companies. Those with entrepreneurial aspirations
typically pursue one of the following career paths:

1. New Venture Creation. Launching a company, buying a business or franchise, starting a new
venture in a family enterprise, or commercializing a technology.
2. Careers in Existing Entrepreneurial Ventures. Working for a startup, small business,
corporate entrepreneur, strategic entrepreneurial unit, or other area, such as education,
research, public policy, and accelerators.

Moreover, students who pursue graduate studies in entrepreneurship can go to work in a variety of roles
other than finding opportunities and founding companies. Research centers, business incubators and
local business development agencies also require people with a deep understanding of connecting
innovation and results. Other graduates go on to work in areas including:
• Innovation direction
• Innovation architecture
• Business development
• Innovation management consulting
• Policy advice
• Financial analysis (evaluation of business propositions)
• Management in innovation centers, technology centers, creativity centers, clean-tech and
sustainable energy
• Marketing & sales
 ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Name: Score:
Grade Level & Section: Subject Teacher:

1. Create an acrostic for the term ENTREPRENEUR that will describe your traits on how to be a successful
one and recite it in class. (Write it in a clean short size bond paper).

2. Do the personal survey of you as a future entrepreneur. Construct your Personal Entrepreneurial
Competencies (PECs) using Worksheet I to Worksheet IV of your Entrep book page 14-18. (Write your
Worksheet I to III in your lecture notebook. Only Worksheet IV Profile Sheet will be written in a clean short
size bond paper).

Worksheet I. PECs Self-Rating Questionnaire

Read the statements carefully. Rate yourself according to how well the statement describes you. Write the
corresponding number of the rating you have selected on the blanks provided at the end of each statement.

Always = 5
Usually = 4
Sometimes = 3
Rarely = 2
Never = 1

Worksheet II. PECs Score Sheet

Transfer your ratings in Worksheet I to Worksheet II. The number in parenthesis corresponds to the questionnaire
item number. Add or subtract the ratings as indicated to compute for your Total Score. Read the signs carefully so
you will get an accurate Total Score.

Letters A to J = Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies

Letter K = Correction Factor

If your total score on letter K is 20 or greater, adjust your total score on letters A to J according to rubrics
below to compute for a more accurate Total Score.

If the correction factor is: Subtract the following number from

the Total Scores in A to J:
24 or 25 7
22 or 23 5
20 or 21 3
19 or less 0
(no need to adjust your total score)

Workshet III. PECs Adjusted Score Sheet

Compute for the Adjusted Total Score.

Total Score - Adjustments = Adjusted Total Score

A _______ - __________ = ________________
B _______ - __________ = ________________
C _______ - __________ = ________________
D _______ - __________ = ________________
E _______ - __________ = ________________
F _______ - __________ = ________________
G ______ - __________ = ________________
H ______ - __________ = ________________
I _______ - __________ = ________________
J _______ - __________ = ________________

Worksheet IV. Profile Sheet

Transfer Adjusted Total Scores from Worksheet III by plotting with a dot “•” at the appropriate point in the
horizontal line for letter A to J. You can now identify which Personal Entrepreneurial Competency is represented
by each letter. Complete plotting all the ten dots for letters A to J, then connect the dots. You have finally
constructed your PECs profile.
Note: The ones closest to the righmost point, which is 25, are the PECs that you exhibit the strongest. The ones
closest to the leftmost point, which is 1, are your weakest PECs. Do not worry if you have a weak point. Consider
it as an opportunity for improvement. Do not be complacent if you have a strong point. The PECs are not a
guarantee for success of an entrepreneur.
