career counselling Career decision
We need career counsellors because
This is a very common question that comes to our mind when we think about choosing our career.After all our teachers, senior family members can guide us .So why do we need career counsellors?
To answer this we can pause to think about these questions.......Can our teachers and family members guide us towards a career that best matches with our personality? Do they know about my real strengths that can be best used in a particular career? What about my interests? Are the teachers and family members know about every interests of mine which can be a major point in choosing a career?
We all know it that it is impossible for any teacher to know the details of every student of her class or even the parents are also not equipped to know about every aspect of their child and it is particularly true whne it comes to the choiceof career.
As such we need a career counsellor to assess our personality, interests, values, skill and abilities and match it with the best possible career options available in the market. The career counsellor is particularly trained in this field and hence can be trusted with thier knowledge and expertise to guide us.
First, it s important to accept that 90% of the youth need someone who can give them insight into options.
Second, society does help in giving insight but it is at the cost of being biased.
Third, it s proven that if an individual is counseled regular for his career growth then he/she is likely to succeed faster and have a content and satisfactory work life.
Hence, presence and interaction with career counselors is essential at every stage of education and job.
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
Charting a career path in present day scenario has become a challenging exercise. Gone are the days when Medical, Engineering or Civil services were the only options available to aspirants of a good career. Today diverse opportunities across a wide spectrum are available to choose from.More importantly there are scientific tools which make individuals aware of their potential and help align their their career paths. However what is the reality?
Young minds at critical stage in career have often been found struggling making career choices. Directives from parents, peer pressure, lack of self awareness and at times unrealistic vision of desired future life (which may be at cross purposes with personality, interest and skills) infuse high degree of confusion. All this is avoidable as experts are available who can empower individuals through facilitation to embark on potentially satisfying career path.
Seeking guidance when faced with such threats is obviously a logical options for aspirants of a successful career. Hence the need for career counsellors.
