Are your client's assumptions and beliefs blocking their career decisions? Frequently, individuals hold onto career beliefs that prevent them from achieving their career goals.
The Career Beliefs Inventory (CBI) is the ideal tool to use at the beginning of the career counseling process to explore clients' assumptiions, generalizations, and beliefs about themselves and the world of work. The CBI provides a springboard for counselors and clients to discuss important issues that are usually overlooked. It will help clients discover new optiions and alternative ways of attaining their career goals.
Counselors who have used the CBI report that it is the only inventory that probes client's hidden values and ideas--beliefs that may be at the root of the clients' feelings of being stuck and unable to take appropriate action.
