Making the Right Choice


Use the following criteria in selecting a career counselor:

-- Make sure the person has a graduate degree in counseling or psychology and has worked in the field for several years.

-- Look for certification from the National Board for Certified Counselors and a state license, if applicable.

-- Request referrals to clients and talk to these people about how satisfied they were with the services.

-- Choose someone who will charge only for services rendered, rather than demand large up-front fees.

-- Steer clear of counselors who promise access to unadvertised jobs.
