Summarized bullet points of the interviewee responses including:

My clients are young students non-English speaking students who don’t have enough exposure to advanced emerging career options.

1. Emotions
2. This was very related issue and feeling of being left out was strong.
3. Narrow career options was so normalized that interview itself felt new and refreshing.

           

2. Values:
3. Trust worthy advice which basically means to him is from someone who is perceived to be successful in life
4. Risk averse parents seems to be wary of the concept of career option where they can’t already see people succeeding.

           

3. what is the user trying to do
4. Supplement his knowledge about career options outside the available guidance

           

4. current solutions
5. Various trade expos and other events.

           

5. deficiencies of current solutions
6. These are only available in big cities and require travelling

           

6. typical source of advice/knowledge

                        Friends and Family.

7. other pertinent information
8. The issue is broader than English, its more about awareness
9. English language barrier is well understood but not its implications on Career option or career growth

 

Reflection :

Unavailability of career option is treated as impediment on growth for the choice that has been made not as a tool to supplement career knowledge which in essence means language is bigger block than I imagined.
