This has been a problem since generations and most would follow the herd or take advice from their elder siblings or relatives. While the advice works out for some, it doesn’t really work out for most of them. Since the inception of GUIDIC (GUIDance In Confusion) Solutions with the sole aim of helping professional take the right career choice, the company, on an average has received 100+ queries from working professional seeking to switch tracks – after 5 or 6 years of experience as they are not interested in what they do and hence, do not see any career growth or find their interests after a certain point in their lives. And most of them are engineers, which sadly reminds us of the joke – ‘First do engineering, then figure out what to do in life.’

Identifying that this is a prevalent issue which needs to be addressed at the core, GUIDIC Solutions has introduced the first-of-its-kind Ideal Career Program.

Why this program?

Srividya Ivaturi, a Senior Career Counsellor and a certified Career Coach with GUIDIC Solutions, has counselled a number of working professionals (some with even 15 years of work experience) who say they are stuck in their careers and are not sure what to do next. Job satisfaction, career growth and value addition being the top concerns for these employees, the alarming observation here is that they want to shift tracks or start something new but do not have the required skills or experience and hence continue working in the same roles wasting their time and potential.

Studies have shown that more than 80% of people do not enjoy their work. Some of them feel that they are stuck in the wrong jobs and most of them say that they are not happy with what they are doing on a daily-basis which is more than 55% of the working population with more than 5 years of work experience.

More than 63% of employees are unsatisfied with their career and do not see career growth .

With this percentage of population unsatisfied with their career option, it is high time to initiate a program to help and guide the youth today.

What is the Ideal Career Program about?

The program consists of an online Psychometric Test which will identify one’s interests, personality, career motivators and aptitude. This is a scientifically-approved test prepared by a team of psychologists and fine-tuned for the Indian diaspora. Once the test is completed, students will receive a 12-page detailed report highlighting the top three careers they can choose from followed by an intensive, personalized career counselling session by a certified career coach. Students can also personally connect with senior working professionals from various industries to discuss about the career in those industries, understand first-hand about the workings of various domains and receive guidance from them on what to study, how to prepare.

For example, if Computer Science Engineering is the top choice for a student, then GUIDIC Solutions will connect the student with an expert, who is an alumnus of IIT or BITS and who will guide the student on how to plan his/her career, how to crack important exams and the technologies to focus on.

Customer Reviews

One of the first customers, Deepali Boradi, who consulted GUIDIC Solutions for her son, says, “My son wanted to get into design while we wanted him to get into an engineering course as is the norm these days, but we approached GUIDIC and spoke to their experts who clarified all our doubts. We identified that design has a lot more opportunities than we knew about before and it was an easier decision to make after that, which thankfully worked out for us considering it is a highly competitive world out there.”
