This presentation describes tasks accomplished by 73 career and guidance counsellors working in secondary schools. Results suggest that participants spend a great deal of time on tasks unrelated to career and guidance counselling. Furthermore, results suggest that participants often perceive themselves as being incompetent when it comes to some of the essential tasks associated with career and guidance counselling.
