Part 1: The Interview
Interview a person at least 21 years of age who is not a family member.
You may prefer to choose someone who is older and has made or who is contemplating making a career change.
The interview should cover the individuals occupational history in depth and should be an inquiry process, not therapy.
Include the subjects career related background, current realities and ambitions
You may choose to tape record the interview to help you prepare for the subsequent analysis; however, your subject must agree and sign a consent to interview. You do not need to submit a copy of the tape. The interview may take 1 to 2 hours.
Include the interview questions as an appendix in your paper or submit them separately.
Part 2: The paper
This section should be the bulk of your paper, focusing on theoretical alignment and interpretation
Should contain a clear statement of the theory (such as Trait and Factor, Hollands Theory of Types, etc) you use to review the case and a rationale for selecting it. You will need to select two (2) theories that work together with your subject.
A brief summary of the individuals occupational history, current realities, ambitions, and anything relating to career decisions.
An explanation of the individuals career history when viewed through the lens of your selected theory. Be sure to use the theory to account for the career-related decisions, behaviors, and judgments that the individual made.
You do not have to use a career assessment, but discuss a career assessment that you could use and how it would help the subject in their career exploration. You can incorporate fictitious data as well.
Include an analysis of how the theory did or did not adequately explain the individuals career development.
The paper should be 10 15 pages (not counting cover page, reference page and any appendices), double spaced, 1 margins, Times-Roman 12 point font. Follow APA style for title, headers, level 1 and 2 headings, etc. No abstract is needed. Include a cover page and references.
