career counselling career guidance
Choosing a right career path is of utmost importance to any individual. Because on this only, the whole life of an individual is dependent. If a student chooses a career path that doesn't suits his personality, strengths, skills and abilities then he will never be happy in his entire career which will eventually lead into stress, depression, anxiety and ultimately very low success rate. To avoid this it is very necessary for a student to understand innerself and choose a career path that best suits him. This is when the need of an expert Career Counselor arises. A trained Career Counselor helps a student to peep into innerself in a much scientific manner and guides him to choose a right career path as per the students persona, interest, skills and abilities. An expert Career Counselor also gives an execution plan which by following the student can achieve his goal.
With the plethora of career options in the present scenario students and even working people are quite often confused about selecting the best career option for them. Selecting a career considereing its pay package and thinking that I will be able to do well once I start working, is a big mistake many people do. Actually to grow into any career your personality, intesrests and values are the most important factors. And surprisingly quite often people are confused about these factors as well. A trained career counsellor through standardised assessment tools is able to analyse all aspects of your abilties and psychological attributes to match with your perfect career option, what you may even call as your passion. And when passion is there nothing can stop you from reaching the peak.
experienced counsellors offer insights on the benefits of marrying the professional abilities, personality strengths and interest areas of the candidate seeking guidance and link these to suitable occupation in the world of work. It is important to restrain from seeing each of the (1) personality strengths, (2) professional abilities and (3) interest areas/likes in isolation for linking to suitable work in the world of work.
When students get advice from parents or others they are not convinced because the information may not be adequate and to the understanding of the student. An expert career counsellor will be able to tell the personality, career interest, career motivators, learning style and the skills and abilities of the student. They will be able to analyse the career options based on the psychometric result if the student and explain to the student and parent why a career choice is suitable to the student or why it should be avoided. There will be clarity for them to make a correct choice.
It it very important to know ourself well. In my career I have constantly try to figure out what do I want to do and what is suitable for me. Since secondary school time I have started to think hard on what I want to be in the future.
During University time I did a lot of reading and test to understand myself more. I wanted to be an entrepreneur. However I don’t know where to start and what industry I should go into. I have tried to start some small business in university time and I learned that passion is very important.
Knowing yourself and your passion by your self is a lengthy process. Either you learn by your experience, or learn by other experience in short time.
Believe me that is very time consuming. It is very important to know your suitable path, with help of some experienced person who have seen that journey. Who have actaully worked in compnaies. Selection any stream, career or path and then look out for Career Change, Transition, dropouots are Really painful.
By paying a little amout so called career Counselling fees, you actually a get an exposure of their rich experience of Career Counselor. Is it not amazing.
You can actually shorten your journey, speedup your tacks, Clean up your doubts just becuase some one has seen it byself and many other. So there is no doubts you should go for a Career Counselling who is expert and should not think much about.
Now The Major Question is When : I always suggest my clients to go for Career Counselling in last querter of 9th Standard or 1st Quester of 10th Standard. Why ? There is a Reason behing it. If you discover some of the option where you need to prepare for exams, be ready mentally, and financially, then you have time.
Career counselling experts are training and with the expertise they re at a better reach than the information that s avaiable in the Internet. The information is so vast and too confusing. The student might get more confused and would finally land up in a career that s not suitable for him/her. It s always more comforting to choose a career that s more suitable and apt for the child and the counsellor is the best person to guide.
