How Do You Know When Its Time To Go?

Everything you ever wanted to know about finding a career counselor (but didn't think to ask).

Some counselors don't play cards, but they do play other games. Judith Gerberg, a career adviser in New York City, uses plenty of conventional techniques, from testing to interviewing. But she also uses visualization, guided imagery, and art therapy. A closet in her office is filled with crayons, markers, modeling clay, and construction paper -- tools to help clients express themselves in terms of career aspirations. Gerberg also asks clients to cull stacks of magazines to make a collage -- a “treasure map” of what holds the most meaning and value to them.
