    • Adaptation: Switching boards involves adapting to a new system. Be prepared to adjust to different teaching styles and exam formats.

    • Reasons for Change:

      • Entrance Exams: If you're aiming for competitive exams like JEE, NEET, or CA Foundation, choosing a board with a lighter curriculum may give you more time to focus on entrance preparations.

      • International Studies: Considering studying abroad? Boards like IGCSE or IB can prepare you for international curriculum and college applications.

      • Shifting Back to India: If you've been studying abroad and want to pursue undergrad studies in India, switching to ISC or HSC boards might be necessary.

      • Relocation: Moving to a new country may require adapting to their education system.

      • Domicile Requirements: Domicile might be a factor for certain admissions.

    Carefully weigh your goals and the potential challenges before making a decision.

    Yes, you can change boards after 10th, but consider the following:

  • Here's a breakdown of the key differences between a Career Counsellor and a Psychological Counsellor:

    Career Counsellor

    • Focus: Career-related issues such as job search, education paths, and career planning.

    • Goals: Help individuals explore career options, identify strengths, and develop job-seeking skills like resume writing and interview preparation.

    • Approach: Uses assessments and tools to match skills and interests with potential career paths.

    Psychological Counsellor

    • Focus: Emotional, psychological, and mental health issues.

    • Goals: Help individuals address personal challenges like stress, anxiety, relationships, and mental health disorders.

    • Approach: Uses therapeutic techniques to support emotional well-being and personal development.

     

    Looking for career guidance? Opt for a career counsellor. Need support with emotional or mental health concerns? A psychological counsellor is a better fit.

    Career Counsellor vs. Psychological Counsellor

    • Changing Education System: International boards and interdisciplinary learning are becoming more common. Understanding these options can help you make informed decisions.

    • Exploring Interests: Earlier exploration of your interests and strengths can guide your high school course choices and future aspirations.

    • Shifting Career Landscape: The world of work is constantly evolving. Starting early allows you to keep pace with changing trends.

    Here are some things you can do in 8th grade:

    • Explore Interests: Discover subjects and activities you enjoy.

    • Research Careers: Look into different professions and their requirements.

    • Talk to People: Connect with adults in various fields to learn about their experiences.

    • Set Goals: Identify skills or subjects you might want to focus on in high school.

    Starting early helps align your education with your career aspirations. Remember, you can always adjust your path as you learn more!

    Not at all! Here's why it's beneficial to start early:

    • Self-Assessment: Honesty and reflection during the test are crucial for accurate results.

    • Test Quality: Well-designed and validated tests are more reliable.

    • Complexity of Careers: Aptitude tests can't capture everything that makes you successful in a job.

    • Individual Differences: Your unique experiences and preferences might not be fully reflected in the test.

    Use aptitude tests as one of many tools in your career exploration journey. Combine them with personal reflection, real-world exploration, and guidance from mentors or counsellors for best results

    ​

    At On The Job, we use the following assessments to provide a comprehensive report:

    • Myers Briggs Test

    • Holland Scores

    • Multiple Intelligence Test

    • Best Suited Work Environments

    These tools help us recommend careers best suited to your individual strengths.

    ​

    Career aptitude tests can be helpful, but their accuracy depends on several factors:

    • Pre-Counselling Questionnaire: Understands your background and expectations.

    • Zoom Meeting: Discusses your aspirations and answers any questions you might have.

    • Psychometric Testing: We send a link for the test, and you receive a detailed report.

    • Face-to-Face Counselling: We analyze your test results and questionnaire to map out the best career path for you.

    • Actionable Plan: We create a plan for achieving your goals, including:

    • Identifying target universities and colleges

    • Choosing relevant entrance exams

    • Building a strong resume

    • Setting goals for dream universities and resume building
