Career Counselling For Job Dissatisfaction
Take Steps Towards a Healthier Work-life Balance
Dr. Susan MacDonald Ph.D. Calgary Registered Psychologist
Do you ever think you’re in the wrong profession?
Most people choose an education or occupation at a very young age, and with relatively little life experience. And people tend to be quite passive when making career choices, rather than being proactive in the process. The more capable, competent, and intelligent people are, the better able they are at pursuing any career goal, but not necessarily the right one. The top three most dissatisfied professionals I see are accountants, lawyers, and engineers.

Why is career counselling for career dissatisfaction so important?
How many sessions does career counselling usually take?
Typically 3-4 hours and 4 tests work really well for most people. Some people may benefit from more sessions if they require further clarity with their career decision, if they are looking at various educational routes, or need to overcome any obstacles standing in their way for their career success.

What are the tests used for career counselling?
The four tests I use are a career personality, career interests, career values, and career conflict scales. All these tests have high validity and reliability, and provide a wealth of information for your career counselling process. The tests I use are only available to professionals that are specifically trained and certified as career counsellors.
