This counselor's guide is designed for use with the Vital Information Education and Work (VIEW) manual. An introduction reviews the VIEW program and the role of the counselor, providing a sample of general questions that can be answered through use of the VIEW scripts (two-page job descriptions contained in the VIEW manual). An explanation follows of the kinds of information contained in the VIEW scripts. The final section suggests a four-step procedure for assisting VIEW users to obtain information about occupations for career exploration and planning. Descriptions of the six appendixes to the VIEW manual conclude the guide. (YLB)
