career counselling career guidanceCareer 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.
A career counsellor or analyst is somebody whose career is to create right career paths.So he/ she is the one who keeps themselves updated with different fields and options to get into it.Career counselling should always be done by an expert career counsellor as they will keep every aspect in mind while determining your career path rather than just telling you to do what most of the people around are doing.Indian mentality is that when you have an elder( Grand father/ uncles) at home why do you need to pay for a wise advice,So,to be clear and crisp our elders and uncles etc either they are professors,teachers,retired personnel's etc.must be well versed in there fields of work but they are not aware of all the fields and careers that have come up or where already there in demand but because nobody knew had low supply of candidates to join them.They only know what there relatives or close friend kids are doing.
A career counselor would ve analysed the pros and cons in every aspect that are pertaining to each client. Each client and each student s capabilities are different. Each individual has different aspirations. And a lot of students today, are influenced with what they see around than what they want to achieve and hence are lot more confused. They would like to get into a path which most of their known people are following and are successful themselves. They least anticipate the risks and struggles involved in achieving the same. The counselor is the right person to contact. He/she would give proepr timely guidance to overcome hurdles and also discuss the best possible career path and clusters that are best suited.
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.
