One strategy that stood out to me was fear setting. I also found values exploration and visualization to be valuable because they encourage students to reflect on what truly motivates them and mentally picture themselves succeeding in their future careers, which can increase confidence and persistence. In career services, I think these techniques can help students manage anxiety, stay focused on meaningful goals, and remain motivated even when facing rejection or uncertainty during the job search process. I will definitely be using the fear setting worksheet.
A lot of our students exhibit passive coping when approaching their job search, often getting locked up in the fear of a negative outcome. The fear setting worksheet and the goal visualization worksheet provided at the end of this module will be an excellent tool to help guide the students into a more proactive frame of mind.
