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 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.
It is very vital that Career counseling should be done by an expert career counselor because it is an analysis of whole career path which means this process of counseling helps the client manage their journey through life, learning and job changes. This scientific method make very transparent about personality, interest, values, skills and abilities and job opportunities, strength, merits and lackness. Apart from all of the above an expert career counselor perform his duty to give a detail and analyzed advice to the clients and help to understand stages of conscious, sub-conscious and unconscious mind, why and where stresses may be arise and how to overcome, choose a career that might be good matches with personality, understand other and own behavior, communicate better, work more co- operatively, manage people better, appreciate individual differences etc. And most important an expert Career Counselor help to get Optimized stage in life.
Because:
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.
