career counselling career guidance
What matters is a skill in any activity or task you perform, I as a Career Counsellor would be able to understand the personality trait of an individual were i have obtained skills about understanding the personality traits of a human being.
As all fingers are not the same every human being has different likes and dislikes in what he would do and what he would not like to do. So its important for people to understand the importance of why career counseling can be done by Career Counsellors only
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.
When students get advice from parents or others they are not convinced because the information may not be adequate and to the understanding of the student. An expert career counsellor will be able to tell the personality, career interest, career motivators, learning style and the skills and abilities of the student. They will be able to analyse the career options based on the psychometric result if the student and explain to the student and parent why a career choice is suitable to the student or why it should be avoided. There will be clarity for them to make a correct choice.
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 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.
