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,

? 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 Counsellors are trained to understand human behaviour as well as gauge an individual s aptitude, personality, career interests to name a few through a plethora of psychometric assessments. Given the thorough training that the experts have been through, a Career Counsellor understands that an individual s background and context needs to be taken into account before interpreting the outcomes of a report. Suggestions and recommendations are offered keeping the realities of the individual seeking career counselling as well as the outside world in mind.
Based on the advice given by the career counsellor, you decide your career path. So, it becomes imperative that career counselling is done by a seasoned expert who has got a sound knowledge about that particular field. A piece of good or bad advice can have a major impact on your career.
A trained and expert career counsellor can make your career decisions very easy.
Choosing a right career path is of utmost importance to any individual. Because on this only, the whole life of an individual is dependent. If a student chooses a career path that doesn't suits his personality, strengths, skills and abilities then he will never be happy in his entire career which will eventually lead into stress, depression, anxiety and ultimately very low success rate. To avoid this it is very necessary for a student to understand innerself and choose a career path that best suits him. This is when the need of an expert Career Counselor arises. A trained Career Counselor helps a student to peep into innerself in a much scientific manner and guides him to choose a right career path as per the students persona, interest, skills and abilities. An expert Career Counselor also gives an execution plan which by following the student can achieve his goal.
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.
