What Is Career Guidance?

In an ideal world, we would all start our working lives in our ideal job. A job that allows us to grow and learn, one that challenges and rewards in equal measure, and one that we enjoy and that brings us fulfillment – a passion.

If you are lucky enough to be in that position then most people will envy you! For the rest of us, career choice can seem difficult, and career change can seem impossible. Many people don’t have a deep understanding of their strengths and lack the self-knowledge to be confident in making important decisions about their future. This is where professional career counselling and life coaching can help. For working professionals, career development is a critical factor for achieving satisfaction at work. Don’t worry – Choosing the perfect career can be achieved with the right career tests and career guidance.

Career planning

Most students I meet don’t fully understand their career options because they don’t fully understand themselves and their interests. As a qualified career counsellor my priority is to get to know you, your career objectives, your goals, and aspirations, and what drives you. Then using a range of psychometric tests such as MBTI, STRONG, and Pearson DAT, I explore with you your true strengths, weaknesses, and motivations. Together we can then map out a personalized Career Exploration Program, helping you make a better career decision.

Understand-interests

Understand your interests

Figure out what you are interested in, what career options excite you, and most importantly, why. Understanding why you like what you like will be the difference between thinking you like something and knowing you are genuinely interested.

Narrow-down

Narrow down your field of choice

You should narrow it down to a particular field after due diligence. Thinking you find something assuming for a while and dedicating yourself to the subject matter can be very different experiences. You should research and work in a field before you devote yourself to the subject matter.

education-pathway-icon

Fix an education pathway

Once you know what to do, you need to figure out how to do it. You must find out what degree you require to succeed in a career choice, how long it takes to finish the degree, any high education opportunities to sharpen your skills, or even how you can gain experience.

Academic-performance-icon

Academic performance and standardized tests

If you are planning to study abroad or applying to good institutes in India, at some point you will have to appear for standardized tests. The tests are often the only way to get into universities. Along with your test scores, the academic scores should also be equally good.

Extracurricular-activities-and-recommendations

Extracurricular activities and recommendations

To stand out from your competition, you must have a strong profile and a good way to build a profile is to focus on the kind of experience you gain through working, internships, extracurricular activities, etc. You will also require recommendations from people who know you well and such opportunities will help you find the right recommenders.

Gaining-experience-icon

Gaining experience

The easiest way to gain experience is to narrow down your field and find any options where someone from your background can be accepted. If you are in high school, you can find internships, part-time jobs, or do job shadows. Likewise, if you are in graduate school, you can explore the same options but also take a year or so to work in a field before you continue your studies.

Career choice

Career-Choice

Most students I meet don’t fully understand their career options because they don’t fully understand themselves and their interests. As a qualified career counsellor my priority is to get to know you, your career objectives, your goals, and aspirations, and what drives you.

Together we can then map out a personalized Career Exploration Program, helping you make a better career decision.

Career change

In any case, I am here to help you figure out what you should do at any stage in your life be it your late 20s or late 50s. I can find the right choices for you depending on your preferences and desires.
