JSS Intake Assessments <br /> <br />Purpose: To elicit information from the client, one-on-one, so as to explore and learn together the <br />client's needs and desires for job search; remove any preconceptions of the contemporary labor <br />market; counseling the client especially in the importance of transferable skills and delivering the <br />reality of his/her place in the evolving job market. <br /> <br />Benefits: Intake assessments bridge the gap between past experiences and future employment <br />opporttmity. Assessments are conducted within the context of honest self-examination and <br />realistic expectation. Epic establishes a partnership immediately with the client and case <br />manager. Epic then assists the client in setting realistic goals and formulating a strategy for the <br />achievement of these career goals. <br /> <br />Mock Interviews <br /> <br />Purpose: To provide a "safe" yet structured environment for the client to do a "practice" <br />interview(s) before the actual employer interview. <br /> <br />Benefits: Mock interviews construct an opportunity for the counselor to discuss all the <br />"positions" and offer constructive suggestions for the improvement of a client's interviewing <br />technique. Mock interviews are done as a learning experience-not to critique but rather <br />encourage and emphasize all the strengths the client brings to the employer's table. <br /> <br />3) Staff/Organization <br /> <br />Epic Career Services is entering its seventh year of operation.
