career counselling career guidance
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.
Choosing the right path to earn a living is one of the foremost important decision we make in our life. The quality of this decision by far defines our life as a whole, cause if you are happy working, you are growing, and growth denotes more prosperity. Also on the other hand the happier you are at work the more content you are adding happiness in your personal lives too!
In simple words your professional and personal lives are interlinked and define your entire life. This being such an important decision, a perfect mentoring becomes indispensable. Only an adequately qualified expert would be able to guide right assessing multiple dimensions to establish a convergence and zero down on the perfect career path!
With an infinite array of career options available and each personality being so unique, an expert who understands both the science and the art of establishing a right career path becomes the quintessence!
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.

Career counsellors are well equipped with all the knowledge and skills that can help groom and shape you in the appropriate career path alongside guide and motivate you to select the career that’s best as per your skills, abilities, learning style, personality and attributes.
