career counselling career guidance
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.
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.
Each and every human being a god s gift to this world. This is the broad world with immense scope and opportunties to live a better and worthy life. Each one has different skills, abilities and knowlege to live a life with specific nterests. A student doesn t have enough and analytical knowledge of the world and so he/she needs proper guidance to select the right path to fulfill dreams. An expereinced career counselor has all the expertises to identify, analyse and match the proper career options for the candidate. He will also describe in details what are the right (fruitful) options and what are the wrong paths. An expert also will make follow up with parents and student in supporting the post-counselling guidance.
Only a career caounselor can help the candidate to choose a right path matching to his/her abilities, personality and interests.
I consider career counsellors role to that of a Doctor .Like what a qualified doctor does is to talk to u patiently,understand your pain points ,probes further on the short term and long term implications of all that the patient has to say and based on all that either recommends a test for diagnosis followed by a remedy or otherwise offer a suitable remedy rightaway.
An expert career counsellor acts like a doctor ....she understands your core values /skills /interest /aptitude .....your choice or selection of a preferred career path ....analyses the possibilities ,implications,and last but not the least suggests you alternatives,or mentors you to tread that path of your choice.
Remember ,career is not something "one size firs all".Each individual is unique and should be guided in a unique ,customused way to acheive their career goals.
Hence consulting an expert career counsellor can save a lot of time and frustration in later years of life.
Hope that helps!!!
