career counselling career guidance
With the plethora of career options in the present scenario students and even working people are quite often confused about selecting the best career option for them. Selecting a career considereing its pay package and thinking that I will be able to do well once I start working, is a big mistake many people do. Actually to grow into any career your personality, intesrests and values are the most important factors. And surprisingly quite often people are confused about these factors as well. A trained career counsellor through standardised assessment tools is able to analyse all aspects of your abilties and psychological attributes to match with your perfect career option, what you may even call as your passion. And when passion is there nothing can stop you from reaching the peak.

Please consider following two examples:
1. If we face a medical problem, do we seek advice of a Chemist at Medical Store or we visit a qualified, practitioner Doctor ?
2. In Geography an Island & a Continent both are called as Landmass. Can these two be compared ?
With seasoned wisdom, an Expert Counsellor perfectly amalgamates the Real-time information with Multidimentional Psychometric Analysis and chalks out an Executable Career Roadmap that can put a candidate on his/her most suitable Career Trajectory thereby ensuring sure success.
