The process of gaining self-awareness and understanding career strategy is a daunting task, even for an adult. Not knowing where to begin the employment process can lead to confusion and frustration for the student/young adult and the parents.
Often, students obtain bits and fragments of advice (typically from their friends) concerning career entry, but rarely if ever do they have the complete picture of what is needed for a successful launch. Adding to the difficulty of preparing for a job is learning how to navigate the constant changes in technology and leverage it for positive results.
Students/young adults attempt to enter the job force with little or no effective guidance.
