expecting from counseling

Participant - I did some counseling with my family like 10 years ago and What I expect for what

would like to call it frustration That I feel from my inability to find a job In the field that I have

been trained for

Interviewer - So okay Lisa can you tell me a little bit About that

working yet Because I have not been able to find a job and that bothers me That's a problem for

me

need and stuff is really a problem for me it makes me feel bad that my husband working so hard

service Industry. Job Or something that I'm trained for, but I don't have the physically Ability To

do anymore

Interviewer - Have you ever tried volunteering to get experience

Participant - yes I've been a volunteer for our local elementary school for over 30 years And a

part of the thirty years I was employed there so I had a lot of experience And I volunteer for a lot

of other things too I volunteer with church groups and I volunteered in Community a little bit so

I done a lot of volunteering things and that kept me busy and entertained But if I didn't need to

help my husband with the livelihood stuff I could spend a lot of time volunteering

Interviewer - So with your volunteering work does that go down on your resume When you're

looking for a job in the field

Participant - It does, and I do use it as a resume or as education no not education but as

employment even though it's not paid I use the same dedication and the same work ethic as I do

And my volunteering and my working I use the same ethics as to The volunteering is just as

important as going to work

Interviewer - And that's good Because employer see the dedication and when they call on your

references especially with volunteering you get a good reference and normally or sometimes that

helps with getting the best employment

Participant – Yes

Interviewer - With the bumps you're having finding employment what do you see as the biggest

problem

Participant - There are three things that I feel like it's holding me back it's my inexperience in

the field the other thing is my age and then me being blind is a big drawback Even though they

say the age and disability are not consider part of the process I don't see it that way the way I see

is there not really discriminate against me Because they're giving me the opportunity to interview

but when they see that I'm um older and have no experience and then add to that that I'm blind

that's a triple threat for them

Interviewer - Oh I see, maybe your plan B could be working with older adults instead of children

you think

Participant - That's a possibility that's one thing I have considered

Interviewer - Because I'm thinking with older adults They don't need as much what's the word

(Laughing) attention they don't need more attention than children do

Participant _ that’s true

would be that I would enjoy doing even though it's outside my experience

on

Participant - No for the most part everything's going well other than that just normal everyday

kids and family not issues but just the day-to-day who turn it is it is to take out the Garbage kind

Comment Summary Page 2

1. Good start! 2. Good, staying with what the client is talking about and giving permission to go more in depth.

Page 3 3. You are doing a good job with the session, but I do not see you explaining any of the attending skills you are

demonstrating in the session. 4. Maybe replace problem with "challenge" or "issue"?

Page 4 5. It seems like at this point the session is bogging down a little. You are starting to talk more than the client. How can you

keep the client engaged and making more contributions to the session. Why do you think that you started carrying the session and the client backed away?

6. Pretty good first session. You did not include the comments about your attending skills, and as a result you lost points on the assignment.
