Am I Suited For This Job?

Career counsellors should:

• have an interest in human behaviour and development
• have good communication skills; be able to listen and ask questions effectively
• be knowledgeable about careers and the labour market
• be patient and understanding

Most career counsellors work 9-to-5, Monday to Friday. You may work nights or weekends if you are participating in workshops or other events.  The job can be stressful when working with clients who have personal problems, or who have recently lost their jobs.
