| Abstract: | The paper provides data on the evaluation of an Internet-based system for self-directed career planning that has been developed
in Croatia. Rich in occupational information and career-management advice, this application also contains an interactive questionnaire
tapping the client's personal skills and interests. Based on the client's answers, the computer proposes an e-advice– a limited
set of occupations that match the users' individual characteristics. The evaluation utilized data gathered from a self-selected
sample of users (N = 2,064) and two smaller student samples. Apart from the users' satisfaction, the analyses explored various aspects of e-advice
validity: factor structure of users' self-assessments and expert occupational ratings, differences in e-advice given to different
groups of users, congruence with the classifications based on Holland's Self-Directed Search, and congruence with the advice
given by expert human counsellors. The analyses supported the validity of e-advice.
