Career Counselling and Career Guidance at angstcorner

Cruise through your career irrespective of the economy.

One’s career can be compared to driving in a pot holed road. Any careful driver takes adequate precautions while traversing the road. The motorist has to make sure that damage to the vehicle as well as the occupants is minimized. Every successful professional likewise makes sure that he or she manoeuvres the career journey in a similar manner. There are always going to be similar potholes strewn in the career road. The challenge is to be alert, detect these potholes on time and steer one’s career around these obstacles. There would also be smooth stretches of road when one could be speeding along only to be confronted by a policeman issuing a ticket for over speeding. It is all about alertness and it is therefore important that one does not ever take things easy.

Nothing is a constant in life and one has to have the foresight to always expect change, much of which can be nasty many times. How does one surmount them and come out unscathed? How does one find the energy and guile to take on the office politicians? How does one just stand out in the corporate jungle? How does one plan a career that is ultimately fulfilling? One may have the most coveted job and yet he or she may not be happy.

Once the basics are established the career counselling coach will develop a resume to better reflect the next step in the career path. The next step for career counselling will be to assess the individual's strengths and weaknesses and, working together, establish key action words to describe a picture of the prospective employee. In what is often referred to as The 60 Second Sell, good career counselling will train the candidate to describe their attributes in a complete and concise manner. We all know how important networking is to our careers and businesses these days and fresh opportunities can be few and far between. The 60 Second Sell or Elevator Pitch is a term for quickly selling your best features or what you have to offer in 60 seconds or less. Career counselling will train you to create and use this tool most effectively.
