RAYMOND PETTY, INSTRUCTOR FALL SEMESTER – DECEMBER, 2019 9 CAREER COUNSELING AND DEVELOPMENT – PSYC 608-191 CAREER/EMPLOYABILITY PLAN CLIENTS NAME: ______________________________________________________ ADDRESS:___________________________________________________________________ TELEPHONE NUMBER: ____________________________ _____RESUME ATTACHED CURRENT OCCUPATION: ______________________________________________ ASSESSMENTS RESUME ASSESSMENT Mrs. Black’s resume appears to be in fairly good shape. While she addresses most of the major elements of a well written resume there is the need to upgrade the education section. She leaves out a few facts that could be possible improve her chances of employment. For example . . . PERSONAL INTERVIEW ASSESSMENT Jane Doe is conscious of existence, meaning, purpose, potential and destiny of humankind. She is motivated by the cause of good, growth, and gain in others. Communication of ideas is a primary way of achieving those objectives CAREER INTEREST INVENTORY ASSESSMENT Ms. Jay showed the least amount of interest in the outdoors, and industrial art. These areas have the least to do with her current career, so her low desires in these areas do not come as a surprise. PERSONALITY INVENTORY ASSESSMENT The collected data indicated that Mr. Smith has the abilities that are reflective of his interests. His Discover Assessment displays a unique ability to interpret data and ideas. As a result, we perceived his occupational field to be one that will help others. Once we administered the before mentioned assessments to Mr. Smith it was time to decide which path to take in terms of a career. As we looked at the collected data, we saw that many of Mr. Smith’s personality traits showed that he was dependable and hardworking. 10 CAREER COUNSELING AND DEVELOPMENT – PSYC-608-191 CAREER/EMPLOYABILITY PLAN (Continued) OCCUPATION RECOMMENDATIONS Job #1 Title: ____________________________________DOT Code: _______________________ Job Description: __________________________________________________________________ Job #2 Title: ____________________________________ DOT Code: ______________________ Job Description: __________________________________________________________________ EMPLOYABILITY PLAN The Employability Plan will be written in narrative format in this section.
