career counselling Career decision
A Career counsellor uses systematic and scientific approach of career counselling which helps the students to assess, explore themselves and provides indepth knowlege about themselves.
A career counsellor provides clarity of thoughts in selecting the right career path and helps students to make an informed career choice.
A career counsellor empowers the students to set a career goal and helps them to create step by step action plan to accomplish their goal.
A trained, experienced and holistic career counsellor is like a mirror who helps your reflect your occupational side. Schools test you on your academic subjects, however rarely do they provide an insight into your interests, values and beliefs. So a counsellor who is a trained psychologist and has extensive experience in the work industry (not just counselling) provides a very significant input that can be very helpful
Career counselling helps students discover their true potential and interest in various subjects.Friends and family can very often provide incorrect guidance because their parameters of judging a career choice might differ.A counsellor is objective while giving guidance,with no considerations other than aptitude and interest.
Choosing a field of study that is not really suited to your interests or skills could prove disastrous.And that s where a career counsellor comes in.
So that no one comittes mistake as i did....
As a child I lived dream of my parents..without knowing my skill sets and abilities.. or even nothing more than one option in that field.
