Focusing on your direction in life comes easy to some people and
they know exactly what they want to do for a job, but for others,
deciding on a career path can be one of the most daunting
experiences of their lives. This interactive book provides readers
with an array of tools and ideas to help them prepare for and find
interesting, stimulating employment (or self-employment). Both key
skills (CV writing, job searching etc.) and behavioural aspects
(how to build rapport, how to conduct yourself in an interview
etc.) are covered and blended together in a logical pathway to
success. Also included in this book is a list of useful references
and links to websites established to support you with your career
choices. The contents and exercises in the book are
cross-referenced to the Gatsby Benchmarks so that teachers and
careers specialists can use the stand-alone exercises in class and
refer to the Gatsby code. As you progress through the book, please
feel free to complete the many helpful exercises. However, if you
do not wish to write in your book, then all of the exercises and
blank tables are provided free as a resource pack. "Believe in
yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside
you that is greater than any obstacle." Christian D. Larson

This second edition of Career Counseling Across the Lifespan:
Community, School, Higher Education, and Beyond is the latest
volume in the Issues in Career Development Series, edited by Drs.
Grafton Eliason, Mark Lepore, Jeff Samide, and John Patrick, from
California University of Pennsylvania and Clarion University of
Pennsylvania. The purpose of Career Development Across the Lifespan
is to provide a broad and in-depth look at the field of career
development as it applies to individuals involved in all areas of
community counseling, school counseling, and higher education. The
book will examine some of the field's major theories, themes,
approaches, and newest models incorporating chapters from national
and international career counseling experts. Specific emphasis is
spent examining issues reflective of today's challenges in
developing and maintaining a workforce that is diverse, flexible,
and efficient. Readers will be provided with an action-based
framework built on the best available research. This text book is
truly the culmination of a decade's work, compiling comprehensive
studies from four previous volumes and updating key concepts in
career counseling with the most contemporary theories and
innovations. We examine three primary domains of career counseling
throughout all of the developmental stages of the lifespan:
community, schools K-12, and higher education. We include a
specific focus on career history and theories, to prepare students
for both the counseling environment and for national exams leading
to certification and licensure, such as the (NCE) National
Counseling Exam. We also include cutting edge research on
contemporary topics, including such areas as: military careers,
life after the military, individuals with disabilities or special
needs, career counseling in our current socio-economic environment,
and current technologies such as virtual counseling. In addition,
we have added case studies and key terms as study guides at the end
of each chapter. We are fortunate to include many recognized
experts in the field of career counseling. Career Counseling Across
the Lifespan: Community, School, Higher Education, and Beyond is a
comprehensive text, written to address the broad needs of career
counselors, educators, and students today.
