“…Responding to an increased student demand for career services, the Career Center at Florida State University in Tallahassee implemented a differentiated service delivery model (i.e., self‐help services, brief staff‐assisted services, and individual case‐managed services) based on cognitive information processing (CIP) theory (Sampson, Reardon, Peterson, & Lenz, ) more than 40 years ago. Self‐help services, which differ from “counselor‐free” (Kronholz, , p. 282) services, are designed for more independent use, in that counselors are relied on in a time‐limited format to refer users to appropriate educational and occupational information. Individual case‐managed services provide the same type of services as brief staff‐assisted services, but on an extended basis because of the client's low readiness, as evidenced by his or her low decision‐making capability, high complexity of issues compounding the decision‐making process, and possible mental health issues.…”

Brief staff-assisted career counseling services based on cognitive information processing theory were evaluated using 138 drop-in clients who completed pre-and postintervention self-report measures of knowledge about next steps, confidence in making next steps, and anxiety about career concerns. Significant changes occurred in each dimension and were significantly associated with the quality of career adviser interaction. Participants rated the experience as highly positive. Decreases in anxiety about career concerns were unrelated to the intervention. Implications include that a brief service delivery model yields positive outcomes for many clients but requires adjustments in organizational culture, physical environment, practitioner approaches, and client expectations. Future research should examine relational variables related to decreased anxiety with a brief service delivery model, the degree to which this approach works with specific career needs, and client attributes leading to successful versus unsuccessful outcomes with this model.

The Career State Inventory (CSI) was developed initially as the Career Decision State Survey (CDSS) to facilitate research and practice in vocational psychology and career development. The primary purpose of this measure was to assess readiness for career problem solving and decision making. The CSI was developed by the authors working through Florida State University's Center for the Study of Technology in Counseling and Career Development. Career practitioners and researchers may freely use the instrument with proper citation of the instrument and credit as noted below. Sale of the CSI for profit is not authorized by the authors or FSU. A link to the CSI and the CSI Manual is provided at DigiNole the Florida State University Digital Library: https://fsu.digital.flvc.org/islandora/search/tech%20center?type=edismax&collection=fsu%3Aresearch_r epository. CSI Manual topics include (a) an examination of the Career Decision State construct as a state of consciousness through the perspective of cognitive information processing theory (CIP); (b) prior research examining the concurrent validity of the CSI in relation to similar constructs; (c) procedures for administering and scoring the instrument; and (d) ways in which CSI results could be implemented and interpreted in the process of career service delivery or training of career services providers.

“…For the most part, the Guide’s developmental process appears congruent with the recommendations of the four-step process derived from the extant literature. The next phase in developing the refined Guide would involve converting it into an online resource to leverage on the use of technology in self-reliant career exploration and planning (Gati & Asulin-Peretz, 2011; Kronholz, 2015).…”

International Chinese doctoral students to Australia are a growing demographic but little research has examined support for their career decisions. The Journey to the West Guide has been developed as a self-help career resource to support these students’ navigation of international career transitions. Based on interview data from this cohort, a prototype Guide was developed, and feedback was sought from potential users to refine the Guide. This article proposes a four-step process (i.e., Conception, Design, Testing, and Guided Intervention) for developing career resources derived from literature concerning the development of career assessment and intervention. This process served as a framework to analyse the feedback with a view to refining the prototype. Practical implications regarding self-help career resources are discussed.
