Finding The Right Career!
People often encounter uncertainties around their career path, or they easily tend to get bored with the monotony of their jobs. Some people face dilemmas throughout their life.
We have often seen students going for a master’s program just to delay the starting point of their career till they piece together exactly what they want to do as a working professional.
We often turn to our friends and family for guidance only to find out that we are all asking ourselves the same questions: How can I get a high-paying job? Should I switch my field, company, specialization? Which course can I take up to upskill myself? The questions are endless.
The Indian job market is constantly evolving and so is the education system with it. Today, you have so many courses, programs, roles, and industries you can choose to be a part of. With such a scenario, do not restrict yourself with advice from only friends and family. Here are 5 simple steps that you can take before deciding on a career: -
· Research: Know about yourself as well as the options available. Taking a psychometric test can be a starting point for you to understand your aptitude, interest, and personality.
· Sampling: Gain some experience with short-term certifications and internships to know better about the different careers that interest you.
· Interview: Talk to people who are already there or have been there in the industry or that work profile. Seek mentorship.
· Pros & Cons: Pros and cons are very personal for every individual. Create your list to see what suits you the best.
· Career mapping: Career mapping allows you to reach your goals faster. Breaking down long-term goals into small tasks helps. Create a master plan and a plan B to fall back upon.
Now that you have a strategy in place, the right career is waiting for you just around the corner.
