of qualities, strengths, advantages in negotiation for employment or career
choice; - helps the management of personal resources in view of choosing a career;

Disadvantages:
- formalized practice;
- despite the numerous efforts made to analyse beneficiaries’ competences
through formal and non-formal means, the synthesis report focuses on the
formal aspects that can be tracked in certificates and diplomas; - requires a large amount of work and time on behalf of the counsellor to apply
evaluation instruments, interpret results and draw up the report;
