The aim of the research was to identify job searching habits of long-term unemployed social benefit receivers in the context of career counseling. 89 long-term unemployed social benefit receivers took part in the survey. They were asked to fill a questionnaire about their job searching process – where and how they are doing it. None of the respondents have mentioned career counselor as a professional that they are seeking help from. The results show that long-term unemployed social benefit receivers prefer to search for job with friends or relatives’ help; they don’t have any CV or motivational letter ready to submit and they don’t want to attend any courses about preparing these documents. Most of the long-term unemployed social benefit receivers haven’t visited any job interview during the last two months. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8-14</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anna Bickovska</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LONG-TERM UNEMPLOYED SOCIAL BENEFITS RECEIVERS EXPERIENCE TAKING PART IN EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltic Journal of Career Education and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">adult education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career counselling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">long-term unemployed</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">vocational education</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2017</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2017/453-1516300804.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Long-term unemployed social benefits receivers are entitled to many educational activities to help them with reemployment in Latvia. Long-term unemployed social benefits receivers attend different educational activities but remain unemployed. It is important to understand why it happens and what kind of additional support long-term unemployed social benefits receivers need. Current research took place in Riga Social Service, long-term unemployed social benefits receivers were interviewed in order to collect data about their experience in adult education and their opinions about the process. The informants were asked to reflect on their future perspective in the aspect of job searching, taking into consideration their freshly obtained education. Interview transcripts were decoded and categorized in 5 distinct categories. Results show that only educational activities can’t solve unemployment problem and employability skills training program should be created. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22-29</style></section></record></records></xml>
