career counselling career guidance
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.
Career counselling is one field which requires expertise and updated information. Only an expert in career counselling can well understand the needs of an individual. As career counselling is based on suitability and adaptibility. Each individual has its own identity, skills and abilities. Career counselling is a systematic process which only an expert in field can carry out. An expert in career counselling will understand individual personality, career interests and his aptitude. Unbiased advice is another important factor in career counsellor which again is understood by an expert only. An expert will determine individual values, identify his skills, will research on career options, will make you aware how to achieve it and live your dream successfully.
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!!!

A career counselor would ve analysed the pros and cons in every aspect that are pertaining to each client. Each client and each student s capabilities are different. Each individual has different aspirations. And a lot of students today, are influenced with what they see around than what they want to achieve and hence are lot more confused. They would like to get into a path which most of their known people are following and are successful themselves. They least anticipate the risks and struggles involved in achieving the same. The counselor is the right person to contact. He/she would give proepr timely guidance to overcome hurdles and also discuss the best possible career path and clusters that are best suited.
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.
