career counselling career guidance
Deciding the most suitable career path is not a decision to be taken lightly It involves analyzing the interest, aptitude, skills of the candidate to match with the career paths most suitable for them. This must be done under the guidance of an experienced Career Counselor to avoid any mistakes that could result in major setbacks in the journey of pursuing the path to a satisfying career.
A student’s career decision is be easily influenced by external factors and so for any aspiring learner, a career decision is typically influenced by various factors such as :
? Parental pressure,
? Peer pressure,
? Society trends,
? Quick settling/ money career options,
? Fast Money (less knowledge)
? Wrong prejudices about careers in general
Counselling requires empathy, psychological understanding and current knowledge of all the professions and career options available out there. Hence it is advised to resort to professional counsellors and career guides.
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.
A career counsellor will likely increase your chance to discover the right career for you. Which also helps you understnand your own fitment for different career paths. It is a two way work, so you must be equally involved as well in order to contribute toward the results. An expert is capable to help you understand yourself well on various dimensions. These dimensions are critical for choosing the right career. There are very detailed analysis required and to exactly help you with this process, an expert is essential.
Please consider following two examples:
1. If we face a medical problem, do we seek advice of a Chemist at Medical Store or we visit a qualified, practitioner Doctor ?
2. In Geography an Island & a Continent both are called as Landmass. Can these two be compared ?
With seasoned wisdom, an Expert Counsellor perfectly amalgamates the Real-time information with Multidimentional Psychometric Analysis and chalks out an Executable Career Roadmap that can put a candidate on his/her most suitable Career Trajectory thereby ensuring sure success.
Hence it becomes necessary to get Career Counselling done by Expert Career Counsellor.
Every, so called, expert who facilitates admission, is not a Career Counsellor.
