Thinking of doing an internship

It is that time of the year again when students are done with the exams and pondering over what to do next. The students who have appeared for final year exams or those who are in senior college usually have a very typical question – what do we do after exams? Is it a good idea to do internship anywhere or first complete the education and then take some work experience?

People typically think that if students start with an internship: some misconceptions:

     * They lose focus on their current mode of studies.

     * They get fascinated by the work culture which tends to de-motivate them to get back to studies.

     * If they get absorbed in the organization/office, the students do not want to continue with studies and hence the growth gets hampered.

Career Guidance-Tips for Guiding 12th Pass Students Toward a Career

Tips for Guiding 12th Pass Students Toward a Career

Be an example of happiness and contentment.

The one competition that can provide financial rewards a run to its money is contentment. Remind your students every single day that career is no problem of immediate fiscal returns but associated with enduring returns. Seeing you smiling inspire of the stress of work (and the delayed salary if you will) will inspire these to choose careers they'll enjoy over time. It will also prove to them how, even when industry demands alter, who they tend to be and what offers them joy will stay rock-steady.

Encourage self-reflection and self-discovery.

All the diversions and entertainment students have, taking time off to think and reflect might be the last thing on the to-do list. You can help them by giving them a short while at homeroom to ponder on some questions just like: “What do I'm keen on best about me personally? ” or “What do I want to do for the subsequent five years? ” When this seems way too serious, use game titles like Icebreaker or maybe Query.

Let them express their plans and dreams. 

Several students, when asked what they need to do in future of your life, just shrug and also say, “I don’t know. ” Perhaps they will don’t, perhaps they perform but haven’t really considered it. Allowing them to express their dreams-no make a difference how far-out-promotes the value of thinking ahead and also the skill of arranging. Ask them to make an image of who they are ten years from now and to write about what they have got accomplished within a decade. This way, it will seem like they have achieved what they desire.

Commend a student’s strengths to him and to his peers.

Offering praise where it can be due certainly makes a difference. Notice the smallest victories in a field or element of life. Did someone submit a fantastic drawing or article writing? Made friends having everyone? Fixed some sort of broken chair? Receiving positive feedback about his/her productivity or attitude raises self-esteem and encourages students to pursue his/her finest attributes. Making some sort of student’s peers observe your sign involving approval makes these people appreciate the person’s well worth, creating a local community where students are not forced to see academics because only standard involving worth.

Introduce them to a variety of successful people. 

Give them role models of passion and great career choice, consequently a college graduate or perhaps a high school dropout. It's quite common fare for students in order to meet college graduate bigwigs into their lessons. There are some of them after all just as if to prove that college is the only method out of poverty. What is difficult should be to convince people that college isn't for everyone and is also not the only option. If you namedrop effective celebrities and tycoons who didn't go to college, they may just rethink the overall thing.

Talk about a student’s best qualities and possible options to his/her parents. 

Hearing of the child’s passion in addition to perseverance in something never fails to make parents like to show off their children. Hearing of the greatest qualities of the youngster from a educator enhances their understanding of their child in addition to makes them more ready to accept options other than theirs. Inform them of possibilities for his or her child and highlight long-term rewards around immediate gains. For those students who are not apt for university education, dwell on your positive traits of the student so in which parents will see some great benefits of alternative options just like technical-vocational careers.

Organize a simple education and career directory.

Due to the unavailability associated with sorted information on training along with occupation possibilities, come up with a simple one to your homeroom type. You are able to fit a straightforward report on higher education programs along with technical-vocational specializations along with the equivalent work as well as marketplace requirements. In the bottom with the checklist, include things like call figures for most institutions as well as educational institutions along with corporations that offer technical-vocational plans. Also you can include things like nearby bureau as well as govt bureau hotlines.

It is a more developed fact that those that operate out of the Strengths are usually by far the most successful ones. So once many of us pick our subject streams and career choices dependent on our "Inherent Strengths" mapped with regard to our Aptitudes along with Personality, then just one achieves higher career success.

All one needs is correct career guidance and career counseling to be able to make sense of what our aptitude and personality is and how we can use it to our advantage.

What is Aptitude Test

An aptitude skill test is designed to assess what a person is capable of doing; to divine what a person is able to gain or do given the right education and instruction. It represents a person's level of competency to execute a certain type of task.

Some examples of aptitude tests include:

• A test given to high school students to determine which type of careers they might be good

• A test assessing an individual's aptitude to become a fighter pilot


• A career test evaluating a person's capability to work as an air traffic controller

Are Online Aptitude tests right for me

Are Online Aptitude tests right for me ?

Let’s concur that we all establish our lives by what we do professionally on many occasions, and for many it is somehow a major predictor of joy. With the slowing employment rates, economic slogging and surplus of career scope, students and graduates need a career advisor and career  counselling much more than their previous generations.

The best side is that finding a career adviser is no more a hard task anymore, but what is concerning are the checked choices, mostly in small towns of India. Appreciatively, there are psychometricians and career psychologists, who offer online career tests, and if you are wondering whether these online aptitude tests are worth the time, check this guide to know more.

Quick Guide to Available Online Career Tests

Today, online career counselling is the next big thing because best and trusted psychologists and career guidance experts are just a few clicks away. While they will offer you your personal analysis, but they do start with a plethora of exceptionally designed online career tests. Some tests are designed for self-discovery, while others are planned for information gathering. The analysis of these tests directs a career psychologist to derive a candidate’s career path.

However, please note that no aptitude test ever works as a decisive factor of educational pathways. A crucial element to understand about seeking guidance from a career psychologist is his/her abilities, somebody who does not offer “fast food” answers. Professional career coaches never claim magic with career tests, and each test is only designed to evaluate a certain set of elements, viz. interest, aptitudes and personality. It is important to understand that the integration of these independent factors together provide an indication of what are the available career options for the candidate. This helps an individual to make an informed career decision, and ensures that the candidate neither leaves his/her career to chance, nor chooses a career path under the influence of family, friends or media.

How to start with Online Career Tests?

When you need Career Path finder, it’s best to start by talking to an experienced career guider , who will often give you a series of tests, which will define and underline many things. Some tests are indicative of career interests, while some talk of the courses of study. There are exclusive tests on your personality and how the same can work for available career choices. Some tests are just designed as tools for self-unearthing, where you dilute the confusions and create your own world of confident steps.

Many of these tests come for free on many sites, but more than often, the results don’t yield any value, unless a professional has assessed the same. As such, it’s advisable not to start blindly with tests, but rather seek career guidance advisor.

In India, there are career psychologists in Mumbai, Pune, Coimbatore and Chennai, who have worked extensively on designing career tests. Even if you cannot visit the centers, you can get these tests on the web along with counselling from an expert in real time. Of course, your psychologist will tell you the things you must know, but at the end of the day, the final choice is yours to make.

With the right career guidance right in college or after graduation, the task of making a career doesn’t seem to be that convoluted. It’s the confidence you gain during this discovery that steers the path ahead.
