career counselling career guidance
I consider career counsellors role to that of a Doctor .Like what a qualified doctor does is to talk to u patiently,understand your pain points ,probes further on the short term and long term implications of all that the patient has to say and based on all that either recommends a test for diagnosis followed by a remedy or otherwise offer a suitable remedy rightaway.
An expert career counsellor acts like a doctor ....she understands your core values /skills /interest /aptitude .....your choice or selection of a preferred career path ....analyses the possibilities ,implications,and last but not the least suggests you alternatives,or mentors you to tread that path of your choice.
Remember ,career is not something "one size firs all".Each individual is unique and should be guided in a unique ,customused way to acheive their career goals.
Hence consulting an expert career counsellor can save a lot of time and frustration in later years of life.
Hope that helps!!!

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.
So that you do not realise it after your graduation in science that management would have been a better option for you and then disasters like Bsc and LLB happens! And end up being in a call center or an unwanted job with unhappy career growth which will not grow in the direction of how it should have been. It s like you stand nowhere! Right advice at right time is all the counts. FROM NOWHERE TO NOW HERE IS WHAT A COUNSELLOR DOES
Deciding the most suitable career path is not a decision to be taken lightly It involves analyzing the interest, aptitude, skills of the candidate to match with the career paths most suitable for them.
