Welcome back to our channel. Today let's discuss the Importance of Career Counselling.
When it comes to buying the latest phone or some new clothes, we may consult as many people as possible. But when it comes to deciding our career, we generally only rely on ourselves or our friends and family and fall into the trap of “I know it all” and, thus we end up choosing a wrong career for ourselves. Isn’t this weird? Why not look for professional career counselling?
So Firstly, what is Career counselling?
It’s a process that helps a person understand themselves in order to take an informed decision about their career. Career Counselling helps manage a diverse range of problems such as: low concentration levels, to poor time management, issues with family and disagreement between parents and children on which career to choose. It is an effort for students to give them the guidance while they are choosing their career paths as per their interest and stream of academics. There are several factors that influence your career development including your personality, interests, capabilities, values, background, and other circumstances. So this will definitely help you know and understand yourself and the world of work in order to make career and other life decisions.
A safe and casual environment is created where the student feels at ease and is able to discuss his/her life and career without any hesitation. A major part of this secure environment is the assurance of confidentiality of the information shared by the student. It is not general advice about careers, courses and curriculum but rather Career Counsellors help you pick the best career options based on your abilities. Their suggestions and guidance are unbiased.
A few other services offered by counselors can include: 1. Training and Development for students. 2. Career Guidance 3. Career Workshops 4. Admission Guidance 5. Education Planner 6. Placement Assistance.
Why is it Important?
1.You Need Someone Who Knows it All: Career Counselors are aware of the jobs in the market and the skills that are required for specific fields. They’re professionals and have observed a wide range of students who have approached them over the years and hence can give you the neutral opinion on your career options.
2.To Broaden Your Perspective: Career isn’t like a buffet where you can go and taste a little bit of everything. It is a process that requires you to make decisions once, or maybe twice because such decisions are irreversible. A good counselor not only breaks your set mindset for different careers, but also brings right facts using your case history and requirements and thus enables you to make the best career move.
3.When You Need a Clear Road-Map: Desire and willpower are important, but the right road-map can help you stay focused, and achieve your career goals faster. A career counselor does more than just asking a student what he/she wants to do. They help you strategize your career and provide a futuristic perspective on your career. This helps you to stay more confident and master your goal, thus bringing you career satisfaction.
4.When Dealing With Parents Becomes Difficult: Often, one gets to see parents-child conflict when selecting a career path. Parents claim they know their child and understand them the best and push their children to select a career path of their choice. While on the other hand, the child feels their interests are not being considered and feels suffocated. In this situation, a career counsellor can come to the rescue, who is an expert and understands human behavior.
5.When You Need to Talk to Domain Experts
Even if you are someone who is clear about your career path and plan on not taking a counsellor’s advice, I would urge you to think again! The kind of experience and network a career counsellor has enables you to make use of it for your own good. From creating multiple career options and plans to connect with industry experts, a career counsellor empowers you with all the resources you need to get started in a career.
