Importance and Benefits of Career Counselling

Once students finish with their 12^th exams the biggest question they try to escape and which also confuses them is what to do after 12^th. Even though there are students from commerce and science streams, they also opt for subjects in the arts and humanities field because they find it easier to study such subjects.

But even for a student coming from commerce or a science background it is still a big confusion on what to choose and where to make their careers. To remove this cloud of confusion and to help them have a clear and focused vision on the career choice that makes them understand themselves it is advised to get career counseling.

A career a counselling session can make a student’s motives crystal clear here is the reason how -

Know what you want - First know and study yourself to understand what makes you different and more talented than others. If you are a creative person get into a creative field, if you love maths prepare for banking exams or competitive exams, if you are good in science get into engineering or medical fields.

Likes and Dislikes in a field - It is good to be ambitious but over ambitions can also have its downfalls. Career counseling helps you to recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Don’t pursue a course just because everyone says that this field is good for you and this is the demand of the job industry. Take a step only if you know that you can succeed above all.

Clearer way forward - Once you have decided what you are inclined towards have examined, researched and done a final assessment of where your capabilities and caliber can be utilized in the best possible ways then take the big step forward to excel in that field. Career counselor makes it easy by penning down everything about your personality traits, characteristics, strengths and weaknesses which help you further to understand yourself and develop your mind in that direction.

Getting the right education - You need to have the right education in the field you focus to make your career. Be it a professional or a non-professional course everything can make a good career. Counseling helps you in making the right decision. It happens at times what we feel is the right course and career for us may also turn out as a wrong decision. No one wants to regret on wrong decisions made by themselves and career counselor helps at this time.

Market overview of the available opportunities - A job and an industry that seems exciting and excellent right now does not mean it will be the same in the next few years. What skills that were required at the time of finding jobs might not be helpful or useful in getting a job. As they say change is a constant cycle so is the demand for job market and skillsets also changing.
