    The key takeaways are that a career counseling intake interview aims to understand the client's concerns, gather information, identify needs and barriers, and develop preliminary goals. It also outlines the main purposes and skills needed for conducting an effective intake interview.

    Some of the main purposes of a career counseling intake interview are to understand the underlying concerns and emotions, gather information, identify needs/problems and contributors to the problem, determine barriers and supports, and possibly diagnose issues or develop preliminary goals.

    Basic counseling skills like listening, reflection, paraphrasing, summarizing, confronting, asking open-ended questions, and pacing are needed. Career counseling knowledge, tools for self-knowledge, occupational knowledge, and job searching are also important skills.
