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.
A professionaly qualified and trained consellor can able to handle all sorts of quieries raised by a candidate related to career, in much batter and scintific way. An expert career counsellor have updated with latest career clusters and career paths to guide the candidate according to the candidates diemensions.
A career counsellor or analyst is somebody whose career is to create right career paths.So he/ she is the one who keeps themselves updated with different fields and options to get into it.Career counselling should always be done by an expert career counsellor as they will keep every aspect in mind while determining your career path rather than just telling you to do what most of the people around are doing.Indian mentality is that when you have an elder( Grand father/ uncles) at home why do you need to pay for a wise advice,So,to be clear and crisp our elders and uncles etc either they are professors,teachers,retired personnel's etc.must be well versed in there fields of work but they are not aware of all the fields and careers that have come up or where already there in demand but because nobody knew had low supply of candidates to join them.They only know what there relatives or close friend kids are doing.
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.
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.
