The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to gain a deeper understanding of career services and career service practices in social media context and thereby contribute to the discussion on the development and successful use of existing and emerging technologies in career services. The first part of the study (1) examines the conceptions of social media in career services among career practitioners who are experienced internet users but inexperienced in using social media in career services. The second part of the study (2) explores how career practitioners experience social media while using it in career services and (3) sought to examine the conceptions of competency for social media among career practitioners who have experience in using social media for career services. The ultimate aim of describing the variation is to expand the career practitioners and trainers understanding of critical aspects in the development and successful use of existing and emerging technologies in career services. The results may support the development of pre-service and in-service training of career practitioners. Publications:
