Importance of Career Counselling

 

Everyone needs guidance at some point in their lives. There are things which people try for the first time or want to explore in the future but are not confident. Any expert’s guidance in the field always helps us to evaluate the outcomes of our decision. This guidance and moral support are known as counselling. Students who are at that point in their lives where they must decide on a career path for themselves approach a career counsellor who guides them in this direction. This is known as career counselling.

What is career counselling?

It is a process that involves two people: a counsellor and a counselee who discuss about the various career options that the counselee can explore based on his/her interests. It is very important to make an informed decision about one’s career as their entire life depends on it. Not just students, anybody who wishes to change his/her profession also should approach a professional to weigh the pros and cons of doing the same. 

Why is it important?

When we are young, we like to do a lot of different things which interests us in a lot of career options. We are not able to navigate in the right direction as our mind is very confused. Selecting the right career is a very important decision of one’s life as they would have to work in the same field for the rest of their lives. Being advised of the right direction based on our interests, strengths, weaknesses and a few other factors helps us decide better. It always works in our favor as we understand our strengths and work on it to improve ourselves. Not many working professionals today are satisfied with their jobs. Getting into a job advised to you by a career counsellor will always keep you satisfied by your job. This is because you have selected this job based on your likes and dislikes which very rarely changes in the long run. Most of the students and their parents are not aware of the different career options that can be explored. They think that becoming a doctor, engineer, teacher, businessman are the only available fields. A career counsellor guides them in the right direction so that they understand there are many other fields that can be explored as well. Once they are aware of where they are going, they will be motivated to work harder and achieve their goals. The mind is set in a particular direction and does not wave. 

Thus, it becomes important for the students to seek the advice of a career counsellor to understand a lot of things about themselves and be of a clear mind to accept a particular career path. Career counselling has been announced as mandatory in a lot of CBSE schools and many organizations also have them. People should always reach out to them when in any kind of doubt. They will always guide you on the right path of a career of your choice and caliber.
