Career Counseling : A holistic approach
The decision of one’s career is one of the most crucial decisions of a child’s life.
Sometimes, a child ends up making this decision on the basis of inadequate knowledge, and pressures from the society thus leading into careers that are unsuited for them, and thereby leading to stress and dissatisfaction.
Therefore , it’s very important to make an informed decision about one’s career choices.
Getting proper guidance from appropriate career counselors can help us set long term career goals, and also find the pathway to achieve them.
It is important for a Career Counselor to consider the client’s values, temperament, talents, and passions when trying to guide his or her best career fit.
Here the goal is to not only help the client to make the decisions they need to make now, but to give them the knowledge and skills they need to make future career and life decisions.
Evaluating the client’s educational and work backgrounds in order to help them determine what they need to do next to achieve their goals is a task but taking it forward rightly and bridging this gap between the parent and the child while explaining the pros and cons of each career with its limitations is an important job of a Career coach.
Thus Helping an individual understand one’s self, as well as the world of work, to choose the right career by gaining an insight of their strengths, interests, abilities and skills is an important step to be rightly taken by a Holistic Career Coach.
