After getting all the details, career counsellors analyse every aspect and come out with better career suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Today, the career counselling industry is booming. Career counsellors are some of the successful professionals in the country. But the journey was not that easy. Career counsellors had to face several challenges in their careers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Let\u2019s discuss the challenges that a new career counsellor could face and their solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 24px;\">Information <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">Gathering<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Career counselling is a long process. However, students and parents take it as a mechanical process. They think that taking aptitude tests and showing results could only help them. However, personal guidance is equivalent necessary. Parents and students really need to open up to their counsellors and talk about their likes and dislikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being heard is the main source of career counselling. It does take time to gain trust.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making mistakes in our initial counselling sessions makes us learn in future counselling.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many times, we all are not on the same platform students, counsellors and parents. So, we need to maintain it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many clients have doubts. They think certain interest is not at all for them. They think that this part is not for them. So, we, as counsellors, need to open such fields for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Youngsters blindly follow the family pressure, peers who go with certain career subjects. They plunge into the same field without knowing the consequences. So, there is where career counsellors role comes into action.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">What you need for career decision making is to know yourself, to know the possibilities and to think it in a way that is convincing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Career Development Myths\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Career counsellors hear a lot of things that can signal the presence of unhelpful myths regarding career. There are myths about certainty and change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">For eg. students say \u201cIf I don\u2019t know what I want to do after I graduate, I must be a failure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">\u201cAll I have to do is graduate, then there will be a job waiting for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">\u201cI\u2019m still in my 10th grade it\u2019s too early to think about my career\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">These myths need to be cleared from students, parents and many of the educational heads as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">There could be ample reasons eg. fear of the counselling process, fear of rejection etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">The Tradition<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">In India, still, many students and parents take a career as an ancestral entity of profession. For eg, a doctor\u2019s son\/daughter has to be a doctor or an engineer kid should be an engineer and so on. Therefore, children end up choosing the wrong career which needs one-on-one counselling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">This is the time where career counselling is all required. We need to make parents and children understand that there are a lot of career options available. Children should choose their careers as per their interest, abilities, likes and dislikes. No one should force them to opt for any profession.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Unawareness<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Some parents are still not aware of career counselling. They don\u2019t even know about it. They are only aware of some professions like medical, engineering, teaching, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Hence, awareness is a crucial part that needs to be work upon as a counsellor I would say still we need our profession a recognition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Institutions Lack in Career Counselling<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Some institutes are still lacking in considering career counselling necessary. Schools should hire school counsellors to guide the students.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Marketing strategy\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">In setting up one\u2019s own counselling set up marketing plays an important role. Lack of marketing will ensure less promotion of your set-up. Therefore, one needs to be handy in resources essential to help the students building careers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">You can take up any online marketing course to polish your marketing skills. Be active on social media platforms, post your experiences, engage people, and most importantly, let people know that you are a career counsellor to whom they can reach out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">These are some of the problems faced by new career counsellors and the best way to overcome them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">If you want to enter the recession-free industry of career counselling or polish your skills, become a Global Career Counsellor.
