Career Development Summary
3.) Write a brief summary of your findings according to the following:
- Clearly identify your research questions (for example: What type of counseling works best with undecided clients? How should a teacher develop a career program for at-risk minority youth? Is there a relationship between career indecision and certain Holland codes?) You may be creative with your question - make it applicable to your field of specialization. (My field of specialization is children).
- Summarize the results of the journal articles. Summarize means that - it is not necessary to provide all of the detail regarding the methodology, etc.
- Indicate how you can apply these findings to your work with career clients.
4.) Attach copies of the ABSTRACTS ONLY of the articles reviewed to the paper.
