Vocational Guidance

Struggling to decide on the right career? You don't have to go it alone. Students can turn to university career-services departments, and working professionals can find career coaches ready to share their expertise (for a price). Typically, these experts will help you create a plan of action to explore your career options, sometimes using aptitude tests to zero in on those that are the best fit. Many professionals in the career counselling and placement industry can also give you a good overview of employment trends and help you move forward on the job application process. One word of caution: This is an unregulated field in many countries, such as India, so job applicants need to be careful about whom they consult.
