Santa Ana Blvd., Suite 200 Santa Ana, CA 92701 Dear Mr. de la Riva: I am responding to the advertised Request For Qualifications (RFQ) for a Career Counselor consultant for the City of Santa Ana, the Santa Ana W /0 /R/K Center (SA WC), and the Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board (SA WIB). As the current Counselor at the SA WC, I am ex-pressing my strong desire to continue to serve the customers and agency in this capacity. I would be honored by your considerate review of my experience, skills, and training that substantiates and exemplifies my qualifications to provide Career Assessment/Counseling and Mental Health Services to the customers at the SA WC who are in the process of becoming reemployed, retrained, or enhancing their career. I have enjoyed the privilege of serving in the capacity of Career Counselor, also referred to as the \Vellness Coordinator or Counselor, at the \V /O/R/K Center since October 1997. The customer base has been those seeking employment and/ or training at a One-Stop training and employment center (SA \VC), those enrolled in Workforce Investment Act (WIA) programs (and formerly ]TPA), and individuals enrolled in other related programs, such as those in collaboration with the Department of Social Services work experience and EDD's TRA and TAA programs. Customers include multiethnic, multicultural, and economically disadvantaged populations. This role began with the primary responsibility of helping people in need of and who desired Personal Counseling as they psychologically struggled with their unemployment status. Over the years, my responsibility expanded to include Career Counseling, Vocational Assessment, and Pre-employment Skills Testing. In implementing these functions, I regularly consult with appropriate Center staff when necessary or helpful, with customer consent, to coordinate services and optimize success. Additional relevant experience that eminently qualifies me for this position includes six-years of Vocational Counseling and Assessment for two community college districts; community college Matriculation Counseling for three years; and 17 years of providing Mental Health Senices in various roles including direct care, social work, private practice and consultation, and employee assistance; and one year of JTPA case management. Educationally, I have earned a bachelor's degree in psychology, master's degree in counseling, completion of a four-year post-graduate training program, and have completed and, on an ongoing basis, continue to '.-, ) Wesley A. Bosch, M.A. June 8, 2006 attend many continuing education workshops and programs on various topics related to psychology and treatment of various problems and issues people face in their lives. I am currently licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) in the State of California and have continuously been licensed without blemish since 1981. I look forward to the opportunity of discussing any issues and needs related to the programs at the SA WC, the position of Career Counselor, and my candidacy for the position at your convenience. I believe that I am the best choice and look forward to continuing to serve in this capacity with a terrific organization and group of colleagues. I can be reached by telephone either at the Center, (714) 565-2648 or at home, (949) 829-0719, or by email atwbosch@ci.santa-ana.ca.us. smce~~ a ~ Wesley A. Bosch, M.A. 2 (' Wesley A. Bosch, M.A. June 8, 2006 This section of the RFQ, reflects an expansion of my summary of qualifications and experience in the areas related to the Career Counselor position being offered. Personal Counseling My Counseling work at the SA WC over the past nine years has involved me in consulting with customers and staff on a variety of issues and concerns related, in general, to personal, interpersonal, and! or behavioral barriers to success. Some more specific examples of these include high levels of stress accompanied with disabling fear; marital conflict related to pressures oflimited money, lack of work, or uncooperative partner support for school/training and study time; depression with suicidal thoughts and feelings; profound grief; feelings of being lost, not knowing what direction to go in; feelings of being overwhelmed by a myriad of problems in their lives, including family issues, that their unemployment status only added to; and a sense of isolation; among others. The duration may be as few as one or two for clarification and support, up to a few months of weekly sessions when problems or the need for ongoing emotional support persist, as does their unemployment status. I have generally been effective in helping customers improve their coping skills and ego strength, self-esteem, developing a more positive outlook with a sense of hope, and a reduction in or in process of resolving conflicts in relationships. Additionally, a benefit has been improvement in their motivation and functioning in their job search or training activity, including increases in their activity level and more effective and positive job interviewing. There have been occasions when evaluation revealed the need for outside mental or medical healthcare services or other resources, referrals being provided accordingly. I previously have provided 17 years of Mental Health Services to persons with a wide range of disorders and conditions in a variety of roles and settings, such as direct patient care in state, county, and private hospitals, hospital psychiatric social work, group leadership and program development, in- and outpatient consultation, outpatient private practice, and employment assistance program (EAP) counseling. Through attendance of continuing education programs, reading, and personal discussion with other professionals, I remain up-to-date with current information and developments in the mental health field. Career Counseling Concerning career issues, I often work with customers presenting with complaints of not ha\ing a clear idea or goal, especially when their previous occupational field is diminishing, or recognizing that they are not progressing in life after bouncing from one unfulfilling job to another. \Vith some indi\iduals, it becomes evident how career and personal counseling can and do overlap, as the issues of one area are often affected by the other. \Vithin a few sessions, customers generally become clearer about their realistic career goal options, engaging in occupational research, and make decisions about reaching their goals. This may involve referrals for case management and training, to other One-Stop partner agency staff, or outside resources. 3 Wesley A. Bosch, M.A. June 8, 2006 I was a Matriculation Counselor for the North Orange County Community College District (NOCCCD) for three years, involving Counseling prospective and current Students in regards to their educational and career goals. My continuing effort to remain updated with career development and labor market issues and trends in the marketplace contribute to my effectiveness as a Counselor in this area and in my role as Assessment or Vocational Counselor. V ocatio'nal Counseling As a Vocational Counselor, I have provided Vocational or Diagnostic Assessment Services and information to case managers and their customers at the SA WC for training and! or job placement consideration. The assessment process consists of the administration, interpretation, and counseling of a multiple vocational assessment battery of interests, aptitudes, transferable skills, personality, and work values. Vocational needs, appropriate occupational direction, strengths and weaknesses, and barriers to employment or training are identification. The assessments have been requested for use for vocational training, Work Experience (WEX) placement, other programs available through WIA, the Welfare-to-Work (WtW) program, and youth and other special programs administered by the SA WC and SA WIB. I initiated and administer workplace skills testing, primarily determining customer skills levels in keyboarding, computers, and the MS Office Suite. I served as a Vocational Counselor (Technical Specialist) for the NOCCCD for six years and Rancho Santiago Community College District for four years, engaged in Vocational Assessment and Counseling for JTPA, WIA, WtW, and general public populations. Workshop and Group Leader For a period of time at the SA'vVC, I conducted weekly workshops for the Center's JTPA customers on topics of Self-Esteem and Stress Management. Career Development and Job Search workshops were also provided to one extensive group of customers (Mitsubishi). As a Psychotherapist and Social 'vY orker, I coordinated and conducted group therapy sessions on a daily basis for several years, primarily in a hospital setting. Summary Combining my valuable experience in a broad range of relevant areas; my excellent relationships at the SA'vYC; my background of providing Psychological Counseling, Career Counseling, and Vocational Assessment and Testing to a broad and diverse customer population; and my extensive professional healthcare background and educationltraining as a Counselor, I believe there is much support in being a strong candidate for the position of Career Counselor. 4 Wesley A.

Extensive history dating back many years of providing Counseling and Psychotherapy services to a wide variety of clients and patients, including multiethnic, multicultural, and the economically disadvantaged, in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and office, on an individual, familial, and group basis . Comprehensive experience working directly with unemployed or underemployed individuals (eleven years), and providing Vocational Assessment and Career Counseling Services (ten years), including administering and interpreting a wide array of vocational assessment instruments. . Familiarity with various aspects and resoU!ces of the Orange County mental health professional community, as well as career development and labor market information resources .

Resourceful in researching and responding to new needs and issues as they arise 5 Wesley A. Bosch, M.A. June 8, 2006 Description of Needs and Services Based upon my experience at the Santa Ana 'vV /O/R/K Center and elsewhere, the populations that generally need services include those who were laid off from their jobs, workers who have been unsuccessful in securing adequate employment despite their efforts, workers who are considered or consider themselves underemployed, the economically disadvantaged, chronically unemployed individuals with limited vocational skills, and persons being supported by public assistance. Personal Needs The issues and problems these different populations face may vary and may require different approaches to increase their chances of improvement and success. Their concerns on a personal or psychological level may include: grieving the loss of a valued job, interpersonal and self-esteem problems that arise from this loss, difficulties in handling the stress of economic insecurity and uncertainty, changes in self-perception and self- definition, hopelessness and despair, frustration and other effects from encountering repeated rejections in their job search activity, the breakdown of previously adequate coping skills, stress on the family or significant others and consequent disintegration of supportive relationships, the exacerbation of underlying emotional and/ or behavior disorders, clinical depression, suicidal ideation and risk, severe anxiety, and substance abuse. Personal Services The type of services provided to address the above mentioned potential personal problem areas would be similar in nature, though the specific approach may vary according to the individual(s) and the most important identified issue(s) of concern. Both educational and clinical interventions would be used, as appropriate. The primary modality would be individual counseling that may involve single or multiple appointments in a confidential setting. Involvement of family or significant others would take place when identified as potentially helpful. Group counseling or workshops may be conducted according to the need and commonality of concerns. Referral to relevant professionals, agencies, and resources would be made as appropriate with follow-up regarding progress and outcome. Vocational Needs In the more career-oriented area, customers may be faced with confusion and indecision about what direction to go in next; uncertainty about what type of work activity they are best suited for, have skills in, and would be most satisfied with; and what kind of jobs have current prospects and a potentially positive future outlook. Additionally, many customers have little or outdated job search skills that include: writing resumes; interviewing for jobs; appropriate behavior and appearance; obtaining job, industry, or company related information; and computer-related skills that are relevant to job search and preparation. Many times these issues overlap with emotional concerns mentioned above and need to be 'worked "'lith conjointly. Case managers and customers need additional tools to help determine the appropriateness of vocational training and in what types of training or what jobs they are best suited for. The level of computer or other employment related skill and knowledge may not be clear prior to job development efforts, thus job referrals may be made without a high degree of confidence in some cases or ma)' result in mismatched training or placements. 6 . '.. '-~, r Wesley A. Bosch, M.A. June 8, 2006 V ocational Services In regard to vocational training, placement, or direction, referred customers would be administered a multiple battery of assessment instruments related to vocational interests, work values, personality type, abilities! aptitudes, and transferable skills. In the course of a follow-up session with the customer to interpret the results and counsel, a primary occupational goal and alternative potential paths to employment is collaboratively developed. A full report would be written of the fmdings and delivered to the case manager along with consultation as needed. Pre-employment skills testing would be administered to referred customers in a simulated online environment to determine their competence level in the use and knowledge of computer applications, such as MS Word and Excel and others, as well as keyboarding skill. General Individual assistance and guidance, as well as support and encouragement, would be provided for customers informally who are actively involved in job search activity in the Resource Center or other areas. Consultation with W!O!R!K Center staff would also be an active component of the service. Fee Schedule and Costs My fee is $38 per hour, not to exceed $70,000 in one fiscal year. Potential services for the purpose of or related to counseling and! or assessment and testing qualifying for billed time include: . Direct customer contact, whether in individual, group, workshop, or Resource Center settings, contact by telephone, casual encounter at the SA WC or at the job site when related to assigned services . Contact with customer family, members of their support system, employer, or other professionals . Researching, contacting, or arranging referrals or resources for outside services or support not provided by myself or that is outside the scope of my license, training, and! or experience .
