By Prof. Dr. PR Venkitaraman, Career Guru

Career choosing has become a difficult propositiontoday due to bewildering number and types ofopportunities emerging in our country. Many stu-

dents resort to study a course with no clear cut plan andidea about the job market and career options. I would liketo mention some of my observations gained from con-ducting more than 6000 seminars in India and abroad.

1. No Awareness about their career choices.2. Giving least importance of acquiring soft skills which

leads to failure in jobs.3. Lack of analytical skills and mismatch between

course and job domain.This indicates that an educated young Indian student

may have to change nearly 16 jobs during his life. Here areseven steps that will help to ensure that your choices arescientific, effective and stable.

1. Begin with your values.Begin your career search by sorting out your val-

ues and writing them down as clearly and distinctlyas you can.

2. Identify your skills and talents.A talent is something you've been born with, or at least

that you seem naturally qualified to do. It is important torecognize the difference between the two. You may beskilled at something and still not find it interesting.Chances are, however, if you are naturally talented atsomething, there will be a correspondence between thatparticular talent and your values.

3. Identify your preferences.From early on, we approach the world with certain

personal preferences--how we perceive others, how wethink and make decisions, whether we prefer conceptsover people or vice versa, and the extent to which we arecomfortable with uncertainty in our lives.

4. Experiment.There's no substitute for experience, the more the bet-

ter. It is probably safe to say that nearly every careerlooks vastly different from the outside than from within. Ifyou are new to the job market or if you are considering acareer change, get out and talk to people who are actuallydoing it.

5. Become broadly literate.In this high tech information world, there is an incredi-

ble pressure to specialize, to know more and more aboutless and less. That's dangerous, because it increases yourchances of being obsolescent immensely.

6. In your first job, opt for experience first, moneysecond.

One must contemplate as "Which position will offerme the best chance of becoming excellent at what I do?"and not necessarily the one that pays the highest initialsalary.

7. Invest five percent of your time, energy, and moneyinto furthering your career.

Dedicate yourself to getting ahead by keeping ahead,and you do that by controlling the one thing you can con-trol: your dedication to being the best that you can be.
