Career guidance is a very important activity that’s best when done at the earliest stage in life. Career counsellors are well equipped with all the knowledge and skills that can help groom and shape you in the appropriate career path alongside guide and motivate you to select the career that’s best as per your skills, abilities, learning style, personality and attributes. A career professional also supports you in irradiating stress and apprehension that may be caused due to wastage of precious time and money in inappropriate career choice that one realises after investing several years in wrong career path.

Secondly a career counsellor is unbiased, non-judgemental and have scientific approach to guide you on right career choice. Professional guidance taken at early stage enable the students and their parents to plan finance and other support system.

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 student’s career decision is be easily influenced by external factors and so for any aspiring learner, a career decision is typically influenced by various factors such as :

? Parental pressure, 

? Peer pressure, 

? Society trends,

? Quick settling/ money career options,

? Fast Money (less knowledge)

? Wrong prejudices about careers in general

Counselling requires empathy, psychological understanding and current knowledge of all the professions and career options available out there. Hence it is advised to resort to professional counsellors and career guides. 


In today’s world, there is no dearth of data and information, but to have the in-depth knowledge in a particular field takes a lot of effort and time in understanding the information and data available. To be able to guide a student in the right field based on his/her interests and credentials requires the correct knowledge. That’s what an expert career counsellor does, specialises in the field, understands the requirements of the student and guides him/her in the correct career path. So it is essential that career counselling is handled by experts in the field.
