Developing a Self-Help Career Resource for International Chinese Doctoral Students in Australia
Lee, Myra C. Y.; McMahon, Mary; Watson, Mark
Australian Journal of Career Development, v28 n3 p174-185 Oct 2019
International Chinese doctoral students to Australia are a growing demographic but little research has examined support for their career decisions. The "Journey to the West Guide" has been developed as a self-help career resource to support these students' navigation of international career transitions. Based on interview data from this cohort, a prototype Guide was developed, and feedback was sought from potential users to refine the Guide. This article proposes a four-step process (i.e., "Conception," "Design," "Testing," and "Guided Intervention") for developing career resources derived from literature concerning the development of career assessment and intervention. This process served as a framework to analyse the feedback with a view to refining the prototype. Practical implications regarding self-help career resources are discussed.
