career counselling career guidance
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.
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!!!
