Career & Job guidance
 
The guidance on what to study, where to study, and how and when to join courses are very difficult to answer, but getting an appropriate answer is very important and essential for any student. Even educated parents are hesitant to provide it to youngsters. They ask the students to turn to their teachers. One of the weak points in Indian Education — both at school or higher learning institutions — is the lack of a structured career guidance system for students.

The educational guidance is a process of helping students to achieve self-understanding and self-direction necessary to make informed choices and move towards personal goal.

The basic principle of career counseling and guidance is that the person is better equipped to make occupational plans after determining his own characteristics and examining the requirement of various occupations and matching the two sets of facts.

Regarding the placement, getting the right response, keeping in mind your latent talent, is no longer just a matter of forwarding the application with a covering letter. A host of factors like the right resume, interaction with the company prior to the interview, the interview board, communication skills etc. influence upon your selection. To meet these requirements, online job sites offer you an array of free and paid services.
