What is Career Counselling?

Your career development is a lifelong process that, whether you know it or not, actually started when you were
born! There are a number of factors that influence your career development, including your interests, abilities,
values, personality, background, and circumstances. 
Career Counselling is a process that will help you to know and understand yourself and the world of work in
order to make career, educational, and life decisions.
Career development is more than just deciding on a major and what job you want to get when you graduate. It
really is a lifelong process, meaning that throughout your life you will change, situations will change, and you
will continually have to make career and life decisions. The goal of Career Counselling is to not only help you
make the decisions you need to make now, but to give you the knowledge and skills you need to make future
career and life decisions.

Career counseling is a type of advice-giving and support provided by career counselors to their clients, to
help the clients manage their journey through life, learning and work changes. This includes career
exploration, making career choices, managing career changes, lifelong career development and dealing with
other career-related issues. There is no agreed definition of career counseling worldwide, mainly due to
conceptual, cultural and linguistic differences. However, the terminology of 'career counseling' typically
denotes a professional intervention which is conducted either one-on-one or in a small group. Career
counseling is related to other types of counseling (e.g. marriage or clinical counseling). What unites all types
of professional counseling is the role of practitioners, who combine giving advice on their topic of expertise
with counseling techniques that support clients in making complex decisions and facing difficult situations.
Benefits
Empirical research attests the effectiveness of career counseling. Professional career counselors can support
people with career-related challenges. Through their expertise in career development and labor markets, they
can put a person's qualifications, experience, strengths and weakness in a broad perspective while also
considering their desired salary, personal hobbies and interests, location, job market and educational
possibilities. Through their counseling and teaching abilities, career counselors can additionally support people
in gaining a better understanding of what really matters for them personally, how they can plan their careers
autonomously, or help them in making tough decisions and getting through times of crisis. Finally, career
counselors are often capable of supporting their clients in finding suitable placements/ jobs, in working out
conflicts with their employers, or finding the support of other helpful services. It is due to these various
benefits of career counseling that policy makers in many countries publicly fund guidance services. For
example, the European Union understands career guidance and counseling as an instrument to effectively
combat social exclusion and increase citizens' employability.

Your Career Counsellor Will:

 Help you figure out who you are and what you want out of your education, your career, and your life.

 Be someone for you to talk to about your thoughts, ideas, feelings, and concerns about your career and
educational choices, who will help you sort out, organize, and make sense of your thoughts and
feelings.

 Help you identify the factors influencing your career development, and help you assess your interests,
abilities, and values.

 Help you locate resources and sources of career information.

 Help you to determine next steps and develop a plan to achieve your goals.

Your Career Counselor WON’T:

 Tell you what to do, or tell you what you should major in or what career you should pursue.

 Advise you in course selection or scheduling.

Who needs Career Counseling?

Since career development is a lifelong process, Career Counseling can be appropriate for anyone, including
freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, and even alumni. The earlier you get started making intentional
decisions about your future, however, the better prepared you will be! We recommend that all freshmen come
in and visit with a Career Counsellor.
Exploring Career and Major Options

 “I have no idea what I want to do with my life.”

 “I don’t know what to major in.”

 “I’ve narrowed it down to a couple career options, but I’m having a hard time choosing between
them.”

 “I know what I want to major in, but I have no idea what I want to do once I graduate.”

 “I know what I want to do, but I’m not sure what the best major would be.

 “I want to know what kinds of jobs I can get with my major.”

 “I don’t feel like I know enough about all the different careers out there to know what I want to do.”

Who is a Career Counselor?

 The Career Services staff member assisting you holds a masters degree and has expertise in career
development theory, counseling techniques, administration and interpretation of assessments, and
career information resources. Career Counsellors have masters degrees in Counseling or Career
Counseling.
 Your job search/ career attainment process is also a critical aspect of your career development, and
therefore, Job Search Advising and Career Counseling are intertwined. Your Career Counsellor is also
fully trained to assist with all aspects of your job search.
