Career Counsellors are trained to understand human behaviour as well as gauge an individual s aptitude, personality, career interests to name a few through a plethora of psychometric assessments. 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.
Ther question that each one of us faces after important milestones in education is What next after class 10th, class 12th and even after Graduation.
Career Counselling is a common and popular term in today’s world. Career Counselling means guiding a person to make the right decision in choosing a career. Also, it is a professional term. It is based on the judgement and analysis of a few factors. These are a person’s personality, behaviour, and interests. So, a qualified career counsellor first studies a person thoroughly. Then he or she suggests the best options for him or her. Besides, there might be some psychometric tests involved. These tests help a career counsellor to understand the person’s personality.
You need an expert to understand all the above important points. So we all should go take our career counselling to get the best out of it. It is like when we get ill, we visit the doctor for advice same way career decision are to be taken with thorough understanding.
What matters is a skill in any activity or task you perform, I as a Career Counsellor would be able to understand the personality trait of an individual were i have obtained skills about understanding the personality traits of a human being.
As all fingers are not the same every human being has different likes and dislikes in what he would do and what he would not like to do. So its important for people to understand the importance of why career counseling can be done by Career Counsellors only
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.

I consider career counsellors role to that of a Doctor .Like what a qualified doctor does is to talk to u patiently,understand your pain points ,probes further on the short term and long term implications of all that the patient has to say and based on all that either recommends a test for diagnosis followed by a remedy or otherwise offer a suitable remedy rightaway.
An expert career counsellor acts like a doctor ....she understands your core values /skills /interest /aptitude .....your choice or selection of a preferred career path ....analyses the possibilities ,implications,and last but not the least suggests you alternatives,or mentors you to tread that path of your choice.
Remember ,career is not something "one size firs all".Each individual is unique and should be guided in a unique ,customused way to acheive their career goals.
Hence consulting an expert career counsellor can save a lot of time and frustration in later years of life.
Hope that helps!!!
