Career Counselling

Dr. de Jong has been assisting clients with career direction and 'tuning' for the past 15 years.  His approach to career counseling is to employ state-of-the-art assessment inventories combined with clinical experience and your 'inner wisdom' to guide the process.  He usually spends the first session discussing your education, work experience and goals as well as the direction you wish to take your life.  At the end of the session, he'll provide you with three or four assessment inventories that will help you understand your interests, values and personality.  

Dr. de Jong works with both students and adults.  His work with students usually involves helping them discover a career direction when entering the later phases of their educational training, grade 11+.  Again, it can be very rewarding to see a student select a direction and move ahead with their academic life.

Recent reports show that job dissatisfaction is at about 20%, up from 17% about a decade ago.  A part of this is the additional demands being made on employees but Dr. de Jong notes that there is oftentimes a bad fit between the employee and the job.
