Consider the aspects of adaptability measured by the EA scale

        Considering the evaluation of the adaptability measured by the EA scale,
        several suggestions have also been presented, as well as in the literature,
        regarding intervention:

        CONCERN

               Concern is the basis of planning and guidance, of building a
               career.  It  is  an  optimistic,  forward-looking  and  hopeful
               attitude.  Concern  and  planning  about  the  future  avoid
               indifference,  pessimism,  and  immobility  in  the  process  of
               career building.

               The use of activities that favour the temporal perspective of
               the future, through an increase in anticipation, awareness,
               hope  and  optimism  about  the  future,  and  the  focus  on
               achieving  significant  short  and  medium-term  goals  can
               produce positive emotions and proactive career behaviours.
               This  implies  helping  consultants  to  better  anticipate  and
               understand  how  people  make  their  career  decisions  (and
               not  just  what  decisions  they  make)  and  how  they  make
               decisions  throughout  their  lives.  In  turn,  favouring  the
               participation  and  engagement  of  students  in  school,  in
               meaningful  and  successful  experiences  and  activities,
               provides  consultants with a sense  of hope and planning  for
               the  future.  These  aspects  are  an  important  condition  for
               students' involvement in career decision-making processes and
               their feelings of control and autonomy over their own lives35.


         TRUST

               It  involves  testing  problem  solving  and  career  dilemmas  and
               the beliefs of self-efficacy in this field. It requires persistence,
               initiative  and  confidence,  which  can  avoid  problems  of
               inhibition,  avoidance  and  low  self-awareness,  in  the
               construction of the career19,35.

               The  use  of  role-modelling,  modelling,  and  cognitive-
               behavioural  interventions  that  help  consultants  relate  current
               behaviours  to  future  goals  may  contribute  to  increasing  self-
               efficacy beliefs and positive self-concepts in the career domain.
