2. START PLANNING YOUR CAREER
FROM THIS DAY ONWARDS
Journey of a thousand miles begins with small steps

3. Forget about how you define this to others for now, and
just think for a bit about how you define your career to
yourself. What does it mean to you to have a career? Is it
just your job? Is it something you do to make a living? Is it
what you do for money?
Your career is the journey you take to reach your
goals throughout your life! What are your goals in your
life?? Are you still thinking, then believe me, you haven't
achieved your goals yet and there is a long way to go
and you are unaware of what you are....

4. You must remember that just
completing any course does not
guarantee a job & lifelong satisfaction.
One must look for different components
that can add values to one’s profile.

5. Certain careers are preferred over the others, as they are
deemed to be more lucrative / respected / successful. As a result,
many students sit for entrance exams under immense pressure.
Other courses have high cut offs where students who are equally
bright but have scored moderate marks get left behind. Thus,
their course choice leaves them struggling to barely manage the
course which they have joined. Those who manage to pass the
graduate course are again at crossroads as when they join the
work force- they are dissatisfied and unhappy. All this arises
because the students do not do any career planning and choose
institutes giving little weight age to the course or choose a course
giving a little weight age to their own strengths and capabilities.

6. The surest and shortest way to do this is by empowering each and
every student by helping them discover their inherent talent, their
unique aptitude combination, and thereby guiding them on to the
right career path and helping them make the RIGHT career choice.
It’s time to say good-bye to all the confusions, tensions and
apprehensions about your future.
“If you can dream it, you can achieve It”. - Zig Zagler
