  1. A client nearing retirement wants to keep working part-time in a less demanding role before fully retiring. This arrangement is commonly called:

    Answer: Bridge employment

    Bridge employment is work taken between a full-time career and full retirement.

  2. Which federal law funds American Job Centers that offer career services and training to dislocated workers?

    Answer: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)

    WIOA funds the American Job Center network and its dislocated worker programs.

  3. In Savickas' Career Construction Theory, which adaptability dimension is about the client feeling in charge of their own career future?

    Answer: Control

    Control is the sense of owning one's career and taking responsibility for decisions about it.

  4. A recently laid-off client is still angry and fixated on their former employer. Using Bridges' model, what should the counselor focus on first?

    Answer: Helping the client acknowledge and grieve the ending

    Bridges stresses that a transition starts with an ending, which has to be acknowledged before the person can move forward.

  5. A transitioning client with a disability asks whether they must disclose it on job applications. Under the ADA, the counselor should explain that:

    Answer: Disclosure is generally voluntary, and it is needed only to request a reasonable accommodation

    The ADA bars most disability-related questions before an offer, so disclosure is the applicant's choice and mainly matters when asking for an accommodation.

  6. A counselor sees that a client's job loss has led to ongoing hopelessness, sleep problems, and withdrawal for six weeks. Following the NCDA Code of Ethics, the counselor should:

    Answer: Refer the client to, or consult with, a qualified mental health professional if this is outside their competence

    Career professionals must practice within their competence and refer clients when mental health concerns go beyond their training.

  7. A career changer applying to a new field has little direct experience. What should their cover letter emphasize MOST?

    Answer: Relevant transferable accomplishments and a clear story about the career change

    A strong career-change letter connects past results to the new role and explains the reason for the shift.
