Integrative Structured Interview Process

  • Chapter
Career Assessment

Part of the book series: Career Development Series ((CADE))

Integral to this discussion of career assessment are two potentially conflicting perspectives. The one is evident in the prevailing emphasis on quantitative career assessment that is philosophically grounded in a logical positivist approach that emphasises objectivity and linear cause/effect processes in measurement.
