career counselling career guidance
The core objective of career counselling is to get a clarity and affirmation on what a candidate thinks about future. This means that there is an opportunity and need for someone who can provide a perspective towards the choices a candidate envisions to make. Most imprtantly you want this perscpective to be provided by someone who is
A. Trained of the process
B. Keeps YOU (candidate) as the focus of discussion
C. Helps you gain insights about your abilities and potential
D. Wants to partner with you in your career journey with regular interventions.
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.
Career guidance is given for different people at different age for their respective queries regarding career.An expert can give counselling which is like consulting a friend, relative, senior but due focus on the counsellee or say 100 percent attention towards them.Others may just pass time or may even beat about the bush.A career counsellor with expert knowledge can make a counsellee get precise answers with all the perspectives.
why such question is raised? That is the most unfortunate situation.
So if we have heart ailment and want to repair our heart....do we go to carpenter?
If answer is no.....you already know why do you go to trained...counsellor for scientific,realistic,practical,feasible,unbiased solution....
We have a very bad culture in India that is to advise with confidence.
Teachers are the people who believe that they know everything about the career. Teacher knows many things about his students but he doesn't know which is the best career for his students.
Because he doesn't know much about career opportunities.. actually no one can know that much about career options...
There are 12000 careers in the world. How can you say that which is the best match for your students or your son or your daughter.
You must have the intense training to be a career counselor. You also should be able to work with artificial intelligence guided computers...
Fortunately we have a great network like a edumilestone... So, an expert career counsellor can get miraculous result working with artificial intelligence guided by artificial intelligence.
It is not possible for a common man or a common parents are common teachers to guide student for the rest of the life
Most of the students lives are ruined because of this cheap counselling. Unknowingly with all their good intention they misguid their children n their students.
They will do it for very long that is what I understand but you should be very much aware before you choose any career or you give guidance to anybody.
Common man cannot operate like a doctor.. most of the doctors are also not very expert in operation. It requires very special kinds of skills.
Same way career counselling is a very very unique skill and very less people are blessed with the skills.
