This study was conducted on the counselors who work in university job centers and visiting students to analyze the relationship among counselors' calling, visitors' perception of counselors and work alliance perceived by the visitors and counselors. The data were collected from 110 counselors who are in charge of career counseling in university job centers and 208 visitors to the center, on which multiple regression analysis was performed. The results of this study are as follows. First, counselors' calling had positive effect on work alliance perceived by counselors (${\beta}=.48$, p < .01) with explanatory power of 25%. Counselors' calling had positive effect on work alliance perceived by visitors (${\beta}=.21$, p < .01) with explanatory power of 7%. Second, counselors' calling had positive effect on visitors' perception of counselors (${\beta}=.21$, p < .01) with explanatory power of 8%. Through these results, this study found out that counselors with high level of calling tend to form great work alliance while visitors tend to perceive that counselors with high level of calling are professional, trustworthy and likable.
