Through the process of career counseling, also known as career guidance, we help people plan their career goals based on their interests, strengths, and abilities and select the best career path to reach those goals. Therefore, career counseling is a process where knowledge is transferred from a professional career counselor to a person seeking career guidance. Let’s be clear that career counseling is not the same as psychological counseling; in fact, career counseling and career guidance are interchangeable terms. The fastest and most effective way to accomplish a goal is always with the right guidance and knowledge. This is the situation with career counseling.

The primary advantage of career counseling is that it helps you avoid wasting time, money, or resources on unrelated courses. A student is always at risk of dropping out if they do not select the appropriate career path. By using a career counseling process, a career counsellor can help you plan your career, help you set goals for your career, and ultimately help you make the best career decision by providing career guidance or career counseling. He guides you through a career counseling process that takes you from darkness to light. There is a chance that you might hit if you strike in the dark, but there’s also a chance you might miss.However, when you are in the light, you are aware of your path and act appropriately. With career counseling, you can truly move into the light by receiving the appropriate information from a career counselor.Career counseling assists you in determining your IKIGAI, or Happy Living, as it is known in Japan. It assists in figuring out a number of things, such as:
what the globe requires.
what the consumer market will bear.
What you excel in.
what you are passionate about.
The first two of the aforementioned four factors are external and derive from a career counselor’s experience. Using a career assessment, a career counselor can ascertain the other two factors during the career counseling process. These career evaluations can be either acquired or inborn intelligence tests.
IMPORTANCE OF CAREER COUNSELING
We live in a country where people don’t even understand the importance of a doctor until the health goes out of control. They try all domestic ways and guidance of elders to fight with their ailment and once everything goes out of control, with no other hope left, they bang the door of a doctor and expect that everything will fall in place.
The same is true for career counselling. We at BRAINVICTORY INTERNATIONAL come across so many cases, when parents visit us for career counselling of their child when they feel that things have moved out of their control. They look upon us as a savior of their child and that we can make their child understand through a career counselling process and prevent them from dropping-out from a particular course.
Let us acknowledge the fact that time has changed. Don’t you think that if an Architect is necessary to build your house and plan the structure, an expert career counsellor is required to plan your career trajectory? Isn’t that important? Or would you like to visit a career expert when the guidance from friends, relatives and teacher fails?
With so many new-age career options, career counselling has become a vital part of individual’s life. When a student is confused, he generally consults his friends, relatives, peers, teachers or internet. But all these sources can’t reveal which career option is best for you. Always remember that ‘One Size Fits All’ approach never works for career and hence there is need of career counselling. The earlier you opt for career counselling, better it is. Just like a game of chess, one wrong move and you may lose the game. Remember, there is no reverse gear in life!
ASSESSMENTS USED IN CAREER COUNSELLING
A career counsellor may use a career assessment as a technique to find a client’s talents and interests. These can then be mapped to potential career paths to find the one that best suits the client’s needs and fits the market. Various kinds of assessments are used for career counseling by different career counselors. Furthermore, not every age group will benefit from using the same career assessment method. When it comes to career counseling, the most popular assessment tools in India include DMIT, 16PF, DBDA, HGMI, etc. These career counseling tools assess both innate and acquired intelligence and are accessible online and offline. These career counseling tools aid in knowing each person and assisting them in choosing the appropriate professional path.

CAREER COUNSELLING THROUGH DMIT
To implement a pre-employment testing process, the employer must,
1) Determine which tests are necessary
2) Select or develop tests that evaluate the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs) needed
3) Monitor the use of the test. Implementing a valid test process can be a lot of time-consuming, but the wealth of information gained may be worth the effort.
The very first step of all is to identify the KSAOs required to perform the job:
● Knowledge is the information the employee must possess (e.g., accounting principles).
● Skills are learned behaviours needed to successfully perform a job (e.g., typing).
● Abilities are observable behaviours, including those needed to perform the physical requirements of the job (e.g., climbing stairs, lifting).
● Other characteristics consist of any other job requirements (e.g., attitude, personality).
Isolating the KSAOs the new employee must possess on Day 1 is the first process in deciding which test to use. In short, what must the person know and be able to do without additional on-the-job training? Once the total list of KSAOs is formed, the employer can consider testing options out of the few.
