Method evaluation
Advantages:
- clients actively search for a job under the direct guidance and supervision of
the counsellor; - clients feel that they belong to a group (the support group) with the same
interest, whose members support each other with a view to attaining a
common goal; - motivational resources are encouraged in each group member;
- clients may solve problems as they occur by simultaneous training courses;
- group job search techniques are more efficient than the individual sessions
(Bolles, 2005 in “What Color is Your Parachute? shows that the success rate
of these techniques is 84%, compared to 15% with individual application of
the same techniques); - clients have the opportunity of creating a contact network;
- clients can exchange experience, ideas, information, values with the group
members; - clients become more optimistic regarding the opportunity for change, and
personal and professional success.
