As you pass out of college, your worst apprehensions begin to take shape. There are those who have smashed all benchmarks and are offered a bouquet of opportunities, and there are those who are still trying to figure out a path: but none can deny the indecisiveness that overrules their clarity of vision.
Whether overwhelmed with options or troubled by the dearth of them, hard work in the right and only the right direction can help you reach your goals. You cannot accept just any random job budged by the fat pay-check or just the brand name. A dead end job is as redundant as unemployment, says a placement moderator at an MBA college in India.
Thus, if you feel that you still aren’t ready with an exact answer to your career goals, you can enhance your skills by taking up some short term course or a full-fledged master’s depending on your expectations and skillset. And retrospection is the key to choose the right course. Retrospect, err, fall, rise and try again- only then can you taste success.
However, some practical preparations can help you gain clarity of vision sooner.
• Know your skills. Honing what you already have can help you excel sooner than working afresh. Ignore every practical, money-oriented advice you have heard till date for a few seconds and make two list, what you can do really well, and what you like doing. If some items coincide, you are really lucky and might have your answer ready.
• Talk to your teachers because they are the best judge of your skillset. Be open to criticism and suggestions and show them your list, advices a career counsellor at one of best MBA colleges in India.
• Pull out all possible courses and industries relevant to it. A thorough online search and ample reading is all it takes.
• Now that you know what is the desired field or at least have short listed a few vocations, research online about the scope, opportunities, your chances of doing well, colleges, financial liabilities and where do you see yourself after a few years.
• Now you have your facts and figures ready. Have a thorough discussion with your parents and hopefully you can choose the right course.
Hopefully, this would have given you a direction to begin.
