Starting Out

School career services offices are a good source of information about career and employment technician jobs. Career guidance technicians should receive some form of career placement from schools offering training in that area. Various Web sites in the field of counseling may list job openings for technicians or jobs with similar roles. One of the best methods, however, is to contact libraries and education centers directly to inquire about their needs for assistance in developing or staffing their career services centers.
