The aim of this study was to describe the work of guidance and career counselors in a college/university and how they relate to the new conditions. The new conditions can be seen as unemployment, a higher pressure, the students needs and that the transition from school to work is much longer. As an introduction we chose to explain how guidance and career counselors work in a college/university. Then we wanted to see if the new conditions had affected the guidance and career counselors work. We also wanted to know how they meet the students needs. Our study is based on qualitative interviews from seven informants. The results showed that guidance and career counselors had a basic service wich they worked by, but the counseling is individualy based. The career guidance is offered by a local and a central instance. The guidance and career counselors have a more informative role. They are more specialized on certain programs at the college/university. Guidance and career counselors at the central instance are offering general help with issues affecting all about studies and a wider guidance to help students that have issues with the elections. The results also show that changes have taken place, and the guidance and career counselors noticed a pressure primarily during application periods. The cooperation between the local and central guidance has been highlighted as an important work to help the students. To meet the students needs, results show that accessbility is highlighted as the most important. The results also show that changes has lead into doubling the staff at application periods and that the high pressure affects the guidance and career counselors.
