The common goal of career guidance, whatever the particular situation of the guided individual, is usually to help that individual gain control of his career and, to some extent, his life.
Individuals who work as career guides often adopt the approach of combining coaching, mentoring, counseling and consulting in their work, without limiting to any of these disciplines.
