Who is a career counsellor?

Most misused word is career counsellor nowadays.

Persons responsible for filling the batch in a training institute are designated as career counsellors...

Persons who are offering admission services for a college or university are designated as career counsellors...

People who talk about various course lists call themselves career counsellors...

There is no problem with the work they are doing, but what they are designated is misleading.

Then who is a career counsellor?

A Career counsellor is a career decision facilitator by Assessing, Analysing, Understanding and Providing adequate information to help candidates to make informed career decisions without any bias are the real career counsellors.

The value offered by career counsellors is immense. Hence the earning potential of the career counsellor is proportionally high.

Have you too come across such profiles, where the designation is misleading?

A counsellor is many things and wears many hats. But must definitely not get misued or mislead by doing others jobs. It is like expecting the doctor to also be an MR, doesnt seem right. A career counsellor has a very responsible job to ensure career decisions are taken mindfully.

With seasoned wisdom, a Career Counsellor perfectly amalgamates the Real-time information with Multidimentional Psychometric Analysis and chalks out an Executable Career Roadmap that can put a candidate on his/her most suitable Career Trajectory thereby ensuring sure success.

Any Tom, Dick and Harry who facilitates addmissions, is not a Career Counsellor. However the popular nomenclature for such characters, is Career Counsellor these days, which is not right.

Many times I observe, while visiting a religious place, people address a roadside Churan seller as Doctor Saab and explain their problems to him to buy a suitable Churan . Isn t it laughable to call him a Doctor? So is the case when any admission advisor is called a Career Counsellor.
