Unit 4 Assignment: Elements of an APA Paper Unit 4 Impact of Job Loss and Transitioning

Please double-space and remember to indent all paragraphs throughout your paper (not block form). Aim to keep your writing objective using third person. Unless required for the specific assignment, please do not include a table of contents, as it is not APA style. Review paper guidelines on page requirements and number of sources required. Unless citing a classic work, aim to cite research articles and texts published within the past five years. Please use headings throughout your paper that are consistent with the paper’s scoring guide (that way you ensure you are adequately addressing all required areas.). Unit 4 Impact of Job Loss and Transitioning

When you finish writing your paper, re-read it to check for errors and make sure your ideas flow well. A helpful tip is to read your paper aloud to yourself. If it does not sound right to your ear, it is not working on paper! Please submit your papers to Turnitin (linked in the course) to check for plagiarism. Also, remember as a Capella learner you have free access through Campus to personal tutoring services with Smarthinking.com.

Career Development Stages – Unit 4 Impact of Job Loss and Transitioning

Review the evaluation categories in the scoring guide to ensure you are addressing the “distinguished” category for all sections of your paper. Analyze the early, middle, and late career development stages as it relates to this case study. Remember: this case study involves three people, each a member of the same family. Describe any cultural considerations you may have for each family member.

Impact of Job Loss

In this section, describe the possible impacts of job loss for each member of the family. Analyze the impact of a job loss on mental well-being and relationships. In addition, incorporate the potential effects of job loss based on the respective roles and responsibilities of each person in the family unit. You should support the potential impacts you list with evidence from the literature.

Career Assessment – Unit 4 Impact of Job Loss and Transitioning

In this section, choose one assessment that you would use for each family member and the rational for each assessment. Include the developmental and cultural appropriateness of this assessment. In other words, be sure to include your rationale for selecting each assessment.

Career Counseling Strategies

Be certain the strategies you recommend are evidence-based (that is, based on the results of the assessment as well as supported by the professional literature), developmentally appropriate, and relevant for the client.  Unit 4 Impact of Job Loss and Transitioning
