Beta Engineer yaan doctor Bano!!

Robbie speaks on Career...


"So Mr. Sharma, you have completed your graduation in Mechanical Engineering, why do you want to join our Marketing team?"

Mr Sharma fumbles, "Sir, um actually..."

"Thank you Mr. Sharma. It was nice talking to you"

Mr. Sharma comes back home with his head down pondering on the very reason of taking up engineering as his career path.

After the introspection, an instant flashback runs in his mind. His father suggesting him, "Son you have scored well in your secondary level examination, you should try for engineering or medical field". And there he was, getting through the best of Engineering colleges. At that time even his father did not have the privilege to browse through the net and search for better options from some of the top sites say, http://www.careerkey.org/

Now his eyes are wide open. The only question that circling his mind is "what now?" What do i want to do in life? What is that interests me the most? What are my strengths? What are my resources that I can capitalize on to succeed? Are all my four years of studying calculus have gone waste? And last but not the least, what is my career goal?

To put in simple words, career goal is to achieve success in work that interests you the most. There can be X,Y,Z paths to achieve your goal. Which one to select is your call.

Your strengths / weaknesses can only come with introspection or by asking your close friends, family members and peers.

No study goes waste ever. That is one of your biggest resources, a kind of platform that you have built for yourself to ring the ladder up for exponential growth and success.
