What is one responsibility of a client in career counseling?

In career counseling, one of the client's key responsibilities is to actively participate in the goal-setting process. This means that clients are expected to help identify and articulate their own career aspirations, strengths, and areas for development. By engaging in this collaborative effort, clients take ownership of their career journey, making it more likely that they will be invested in the outcomes of the counseling process. Setting personal goals allows clients to clarify what they want to achieve, which provides a direction for the counselor to guide them through appropriate strategies and resources.

While providing feedback on the counselor's performance, scheduling sessions, and deciding the length of the counseling relationship are also important aspects of the counseling process, they do not directly involve the client’s personal engagement in their career development. The emphasis on helping to plan their own goals underscores the role of the client as an active participant in their own growth and decision-making, which is essential for effective career counseling.
