Intentional Practice: Using Self-Reflection to Enhance Career Satisfaction
By Joanne Elliott and Jessica Gregg
Individual Reflective Practice
As career counsellors, it is not an easy task to identify the different components of our craft.

Giving a Face to Campus Career Services
By Laura Henshaw
Career Services at Brock University, Ontario, had a busy year in 2008. The department changed its location and launched a Facebook page for their newly designed avatar, Jack McIsaac. An avatar is a graphical image that represents a person and can be used for gaming purposes such as online games or video games, or non-gaming purposes like Facebook or Second Life. Jack was – and continues to be – a great help in getting the word out about the Career Services’ location, resources and events.
