The purpose of this assignment is to identify your interviewee and ensure that he or she has enough work history and experience to form the basis of your analysis. You should have already contacted your interviewee, gathered some basic information on his or her work history, and scheduled an interview time.

However, models tend to be more general and theories refer to a specific approach. For example, cognitive therapy is a model of psychotherapy, and Beck's approach is a specific theory within the cognitive model. Vocational theory also has general models as well as specific theories within each of the models.For this assignment, write a brief paper that describes and compares two career development theories and identifies where they fit into the evolution of the career counseling field. Choose two of the following career development theories:Krumboltz learning theory.Happenstance theory.Anne Roe's relational theory.Cognitive information processing theory.Career construction/contextual theory.Use your own research and any applicable course readings to write an analysis of your two chosen theories. Address the following elements in your paper:Identify and describe the two models.Compare the principles of the models.Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each model.Provide a brief historical timeline summary of the development of the career counseling field, including historical trends, as well as where the two models fit in.Analyze the relevance of the models to the present day career counseling environment.Include a proper introduction and conclusion, cover page, and references.Number of pages: Your paper should be 2–3 double-spaced pages, not including your cover page and references.Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.Formatting: Be sure to use proper APA style when citing and referencing your sources.Written communication: Written communication must reflect graduate-level writing skills and successfully convey the message.Review the Historical Trends and Models Scoring Guide to ensure that you have addressed the grading expectations for this paper.Assignment ThreeThis assignment is the second component of your course project.
