Annual Review: Practice and Research in Career Counseling and Development, 1989

Abstract

In writing this review, we asked ourselves what novel cut of the 1989 career literature we might make. Several earlier reviews were cleverly organized using the structure inherent in the research and theoretical literature published during the review period (Fitzgerald & Rounds, 1989;Savickas, 1989a). Other reviews selected articles for inclusion based on methodological rigor, author preference, or preponderance in number. We believed that it was possible to organize a selective review based upon counselor practice and to highlight any discrepancies between what counselors actually do and the topical coverage in the career literature.Thus, our organization reflects our belief that an analysis of counselor practices would produce a different representation of the state of our field than would the standard literary analysis. The title also underscores Myers's (1986) assertion that advances in career counseling sometimes proceed from the practitioner to the researcher or Arnold R.

A Content Analysis of Career Development Theory, Research, and Practice—2013

“…The number of articles and journals represented in the reviews has grown over time. Each one of those 25 reviews provided a brief summary of the content of articles by topic, as well as a commentary on the nature of the literature published that year (Arbona, 2000;Bikos, Dykhouse, Boutin, Gowen, & Rodney, 2013;Chope, 2008;Cook, 1991;Creager, 2011;Dagley & Salter, 2004;Erford & Crockett, 2012;Flores et al, 2003;Guindon & Richmond, 2005;Harrington & Harrigan, 2006;Hartung, 2010;Jepsen, 1992;Luzzo & MacGregor, 2001;Niles, 1997;Patton & McIlveen, 2009;Salomone, 1993;Savickas, 1989;Spokane & Hawks, 1990;Stoltz-Loike, 1996;Subich, 1994;Swanson & Parcover, 1998;Tien, 2007;Walsh & Srsic, 1995;Whiston & Brecheisen, 2002;Young & Chen, 1999). In reviewing past CDQ annual reviews, we identified some noteworthy trends.…”

Job Search Techniques as Employment Channels: Differential Effects on the Initial Employment Success of College Graduates

“…All search techniques except 1 revealed interaction effects, favoring or limiting graduates with specific characteristics such as appropriate specialization and higher ability. Direct contact with employers and early initiation of search contributed directly to initial baccalaureate-level employment.As Spokane and Hawks (1990) described it in 1990, research on the transition to work for college graduates remains, with the broader literature on job search, "perhaps the most understudied area in contemporary career development" (p. 11 1). The broad dimensions of job search have been identified, but only a few areas of investigation are well enough developed to support major generahzations and principles regarding job seeking.…”

Everything You Need To Know About Career Development You Already Know

“…Even though early aspirations may be similar among social groups, the resources and opportunities needed to implement these aspirations differ sharply across groups. What we are beginning to understand is that different, and in many cases more powerful, barriers present themselves to women and minorities than to other social groups (Carter & Cook, 1992;Gottfredson, 1986;Spokane & Hawks, 1990). The probability of implementing a n aspiration is, then, less for some social groups than for others.…”

“…An Accurate Framework for Organizing and Filtering Information Perhaps the most frequent presenting complaint that clients make in career counseling is that they simply do not know how to proceed in making a career decision. This prdblem has been called lack of structure (0s-ipow, 1987) and is repeatedly found to be troubling (Spokane & Hawks, 1990).…”
