Step by step
How online career counselling works
The process is the same as an office session. Only the meeting place changes.
Online assessment
Completed at home on a laptop or phone, without outside help.
Video counselling
On Google Meet, Zoom or WhatsApp video. We go through the report together.
Plan and follow-up
You receive your report and clear next steps. Questions can follow on WhatsApp.
The assessment
An assessment for your stage, completed online
The assessment is not the same for everyone. School students, degree students and working professionals each receive a different questionnaire and report, built for their stage. Depending on the stage, it looks at areas such as these:
Career interests (RIASEC)
Which kinds of work hold the person’s attention: practical, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising or organised.
Personality
Preferred ways of working, deciding and dealing with people and structure.
Skills and abilities
Areas of relative strength in reasoning, numbers, language and problem solving.
EQ and multiple intelligence
How the person understands emotions and which kinds of intelligence come naturally.
Learning style (VARK)
How they prefer to take in and work with information.
Career values
What they want from work: security, creativity, helping others, income, independence and more.
Online works well for
- Families outside Hyderabad, in other cities or abroad
- Students with tight school or coaching timetables
- Parents who work in different places and want to join together
- Working professionals who prefer a session after work
An office visit may suit better if
- The family prefers to sit together face to face
- Internet at home is unreliable
- You live near Secunderabad and would like to visit. See our Sainikpuri office.
Getting the most from a video session
A few tips
- Use a quiet room and a laptop if you can, so the report is easy to see
- Keep recent marks memos or report cards nearby
- Let the student answer first; parents can add afterwards
- Write down questions before the call
