“…clients with career indecision should be categorised into different subcategories of indecision). Scholars such as Blustein, Ellis and Devenis (1989), Gati, Osipow, Krausz and Saka (2000), Gati, Krausz and Osipow (1996), and Savickas and Jarjoura (1991) devised assessment instruments to determine the nature of clients' indecision and began to design different interventions for different subcategories of indecision.…”

This article reports on the value of career construction counselling for a woman who was undecided about the career she should follow. The participant was purposefully selected from a number of people taking part in a career construction counselling course. An intrinsic, single case study design was adopted on the basis of a qualitative, interpretive paradigm. The Career Construction Interview (CCI) was used to collect qualitative data, and Savickas's eight-step strategy was followed to complete the participant's life portrait. The results suggest that the intervention helped the participant clarify and resolve her career indecision. Future research should focus on the use of this intervention in different contexts and on its longer term impact.

“…Langley et al (1992) report that the intercorrelations of the five sub-scales are moderately high, suggesting that they have a general factor in common. Watson and Stead (1997) demonstrated that the total score of the Career Development Questionnaire is positively related to vocational planning and exploration as measured by the Commitment to Career Choices Scale (Blustein, Ellis & Devenis, 1989). The Career Development Questionnaire is available in Afrikaans and English.…”

“…The Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale has already been used in a number of studies on career decision-making. It appears that scores for the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale are related to the individual's career decision-making status (Gianakos, 1999;Robbins, 1985;Taylor & Popma, 1990), career identity (Robbins, 1985), career decision-making difficulties (Osipow & Gati, 1998), self-worth (Robbins, 1985), trait-anxiety (Gloria & Hird, 1999), exploratory behaviour (Blustein, Ellis & Devenis, 1989;Brown, Glastetter-Fender & Shelton, 2000), locus of control (Brown et al, 2000;Taylor & Popma, 1990) and willingness of women to consider non-traditional careers (Foss & Slaney, 1986). It would therefore appear that the Career DecisionMaking Self-Efficacy Scale relates to a variety of career-related constructs in a meaningful manner.…”
