What Happens in Career Counseling?
The first step is to know yourself. This can include your personality, interests, skills, and values. Clients are typically given career-based assessments during this phase. Second, career options are generated based on these characteristics. This includes specific jobs, job categories and college majors. The next step is to identify ways for clients to gather information about jobs, job categories, and college majors that are of interest. Once students know themselves and their options, decisions can be made.
