Individual Career Counseling

Career counseling is a highly individualized and supportive process through which you and your counselor work together to help you define your career/life path.

You will work with a counselor, at your own pace, on the parts of the Career Planning process appropriate to your needs. Usually clients come for four to six one-hour sessions. Appointments are arranged at your convenience during morning, daytime, and early evening hours. Telephone counseling appointments are also available.

An effective career planning process involves:

Self assessment:
Using a variety of worksheets and assessment tools, we help you clarify your skills, values, interests, personality traits, preferred work environment, desired people, interactions, talents, and career development needs.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and the Strong Interest Inventory® are two standardized assessment tools that we sometimes use with clients.

Generate career options:
Through discussions with your career counselor, the various worksheets and the standardized
assessment inventories, we help you identify career options to consider.
Explore career options:
Learning about your career choices is an important step in this process. You can read about your career ideas in our Career Resources Library and we will help you prepare for and conduct information interviews.
Set goals and take action:
With your career counselor, you will set goals for yourself and then take action to
pursue those goals. You may decide to seek further education, enhance your skills,
make changes in your current job, or seek a new job. Your career counselor can help
you with preparing for any of these steps. Preparing for job search, planning for
networking, writing your résumé, and practicing and preparing for interviews are all
actions that your career counselor can help you learn to do.
