career counselling career guidance
So that you do not realise it after your graduation in science that management would have been a better option for you and then disasters like Bsc and LLB happens! And end up being in a call center or an unwanted job with unhappy career growth which will not grow in the direction of how it should have been. It s like you stand nowhere! Right advice at right time is all the counts. FROM NOWHERE TO NOW HERE IS WHAT A COUNSELLOR DOES
A career Counsellor will make you realize your true potential, talents, skills and interest, clarity of goals, various career options that are suitable to you, thoughtful education and career choices.
Career counsellor use a scientific method to understand one s career path based on personality, interest, ability, learning style, priority of towards work and value in their life. Career Counsellor will make students understand suitable career streams and he will prepare a career plan. Thereby, students can follow their passion.
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.
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.
Thanks
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!!!
