Classmate Interview & Schlossberg 4S Model
1 Situation: The transition
My client was Sonia and her transition was the change of her career choice. She said that before when she was in high school she wants to study early childhood education because she thought she likes to work with children. And when started studying at George Brown College for English, she found out a lot of information about the early childhood education program and decided that the program was not suitable for her. She found out a lot of information like what kind of job the person can do after they finishes the program and the job description like what were their daily activities. And after she found out about what they do in that job and she decided not study early childhood education. She says the job was very routine and physical demanding which was not what she wants do afterwards. Therefore she decided to change her career choice.
The transition was not anticipate because the change of her career choice did not happen until she started school at George Brown College. She said after she found out what the early childhood education program is all about, she went talked to a academic advisor at George Brown so she can change the program. Additionally she say the transition was also anticipated because after she started school at George Brown College, she knows the career choice made when she was high school was not what she really wants do. The transition Sonia experienced was an event and she chose to do those changes, therefore the source of the transition was internal. Sonia also told me that she sees this transition as a role gain because she knows she that she is going to do something different after she graduates.

...ring the transition and will be the first person who can help he or she to link with other supporters in his or her community. And finally the strategies are ways the client use to deal with their transition. Career counsellor needs to know and understands how client deals with changes. Therefore career counsellors can help the client to come up with action steps for them to take. For example if the client cannot think of a strategy that he can use to help with his situation. As a career counsellor you can give him suggestions on what strategies he can use.
In conclusions knowing the Schlossberg's theory can help career counsellors to be aware of the factors that can influence the client's transition. And knowing the 4S model can help the career counsellor be the mediator of their feelings and the person who can encourage them to move ahead during the transition.

The counseling session should be centered on the client and their understanding of their world and/or problems not heavily weighted on the counselor interpretation of the client’s situation. The role of the counselor is to examine a problem needs changing and discover options in overcoming their problem. Bringing about change can help change the client’s narrative on their problem in the future and/or on life in the process.
The client is leading the conversation by stating what their biggest concerns are currently in their life. They verbalize the concerns and issues that need changed in their lives. The counselor is there to be empathic to the client and establish a relationship with them. This part of the interview is where the client decides if the counselor is right for them, if not, then the client moves on to another
There was also a moment when I was changing my major few times. I had some counseling but clearly not well enough for me to figure out what I wanted.
When nurses chose to transition from their customary role to emerging roles in health care or maybe even away from nursing to another career, they might encounter challenges that may perhaps affect the way they feel about change. Bridges and Spencer and Adams summarize the models of transition and describe the challenges and difficulties that one may encounter when going through transition.
The nursing key challenges chosen for this essay include professionalism, preparation, personal factors, competency factors, patient-centered care and job satisfaction. These nursing challenges will be thoroughly discussed and supported by current evidence-based research and nursing literature. Transition is defined as a process or period of change from one state or condition to another (Oxford, 2016). In relation to nursing students, it is also defined as students transitioning from one program to another (Oxford, 2016). It is important that students have the ability to be competent in a clinical setting.
Taking the time to reflect on one’s career can increase self-awareness and enhance professional development. A career development plan is a confidential and integral document created by an individual which outlines the activities undertaken during their life. Hence, a professional development plan documents goals and skills required to accomplish dreams and aspirations. Moreover, a professional development program is reminiscent of ones’ past experiences and a glance at the future. Having a professional development plan in place is critical for graduate study to keep track of one’s progression. The principal purpose of a developmental plan is to give a description of my educational and professional background as well to explore my personal goals as it relates to my profession growth and development.
Assessments are an essential part in career counseling. It is needed throughout the entire therapeutic process. The purpose of an assessment is to gather information about the client in terms of his/her personal and cultural context. It is to understand the client better. It is also to provide measurements that are valid and reliable. To conduct an assessment for career counseling, the counselor must be trained and must also possess some ethical and professional responsibilities.
This Transition Summary provides ideas and information on how students, families, school personnel, service providers, and others can work together to help students make a smooth transition. In particular, this document focuses on creative transition planning and services that use all the res...
Although it has invested many resources and cannot be recovered, surely we have learned something valuable down the road. When you change your profession at the age of two, have not lost this time, has gained new experiences and knowledge that has been acquired you may use in the future. So seeing things, perhaps be difficult hands abandon a project or situation.
The client should be honest with the counselor, discuss concerns, and listen to the counselor. I would expect students to trust in their abilities to make their own choices get in touch with their feelings. I believe client roles are resourceful in helping people take more responsibility for their lives and solve their own problems. I believe the client is fully capable of fulfilling their own potential for growth.
Transition and change often comes in different forms, which can either be joyful, stressful or a combination of both. Sometimes people change their relationships, jobs, where they live, beliefs and even their goals in life as a result of change. That said, with transition and change comes a different type of adjustment, roles and responsibilities. As individuals we need to learn to adapt in different situations for change is inevitable. Everything about this world is changing each and every moment. Our relationships change, circumstances change, our feelings change. No one is exactly the same each moment. Everything is changing constantly. Times change and so does people.
Career counseling over the lifespan has more than an occupational focus, it deals with the person’s entire being with a vision that includes one’s lifespan. Career counseling takes into consideration character development, character skills, life roles, individual life and work history, goals, and obstacles. A career counselor not only assists a client with a career plan, but also with a life plan. This paper focuses on two categories of career counseling. The first focus is the history of career counseling as a field of study with the emphasis on when and why career counseling began (1800s as a study of how the shape of one’s head relates to vocational choice), who and what influenced it (Sizer, Parsons, and Davis), and how it has changed (from an individual/community vocational view to an individual/world lifespan view). The second focus is on the application of career counseling by researching two leaders, John Holland’s and Donald Super’s, contributions to career counseling, their theories and assessments and on the biblical aspects of career counseling and how each theory relates to the Bible.
Career development is a continuous process of handling proactively work and changes in life in order to move forward and reach the goals set for a better future. It involves learning new skills, moving up in the position within the organization or altogether moving to new organization or even starting up a new business. A career development plan is created to set goals and how to reach these goals using your talents and skills in the working world. A five year plan is ideal to start with, as five years are enough to reach bigger goals while working for and achieving smaller goals.
