Career development and career counseling

                      Career development and career counseling.

           Some career experts are predicting that people can expect to change their career from seven to nine times in their working lives. Given this reality, the most important thing for you to learn is the process of how to make meaningful career decision. If you learn effective career development skills you will have a much better chance of thriving in the new world of work.

        Career development means growing through life and work; learning ,experiencing ,living , working and changing; creating and discovering pathways through one’s life and work. In our rapidly changing world the definition of “career”is changing . Career development is about creating the life you want to live and the work you want to do. Planning one’s career involves three definite steps: self assessment, using labour market information and making decision. The first step self-assessment –is most important.

     Only by knowing yourself you will be able to make the right decision about your career. It means learning about your interests, values, goals, aptitudes and skills.

      Self-assessment is difficult on your own. Career counsellors in school can offer assistance to students, they can help to make a list of  the skills and abilities they  think you possess. Career counsellors work out different tests where you are supposed to agree or disagree with the statements .By the score you get psychologists may advise you to work in medical, welfare or education fields. And if you show qualities of a leader and are at home in a job involving control and order, they will suggest management. All this tests try to reveal what you line is, what you are best suited for science, engineering, arts etc.

     Besides that, career education and guidance programmes make a major contribution to preparing young people for the opportunities, responsibilities and experience of life. Young people receive guidance from different sources in schools-tutors, teachers, counsellors . Parents continue to play a crucial role in helping their children male a successful choices.

     As for me, I prefer a job of translators. If you want a good salary and if you well know some languages this job is just for you. You can travel around the world and help people with translation and you can make good money. And you can take a holiday at any time if you don’t cooperate with companies , it is big plus.

       Today’s young people are living an exciting time, with an increasingly diverse society, new technologies and expending opportunities. To help ensure that they ate prepared to become the next generation of parents, workers, leaders and citizens, every student needs support guidance and opportunities during childhood a time of rapid growth and  change.
