Don’t get confuse about your hobby and your passion!! On top of, Instead of confusing passion, hobby
and career, we suggest people focus on finding a purpose. Lots of the young generation nowadays
seems confused on transition plan and focused on finding a purpose where their passion and skills could
be put to use to help fill a need in this world. For instance; just because someone likes fashion as a
hobby, it does not necessarily mean he/she will make a successful career as a fashion designer, Or Just
Completed your undergraduate study and in dilemma of what to do next with your career
buildup???Joining Masters or taking some leap on your education for 2 to 3 years or just apply any
company because it’s has reputed name and fame and whatever vacancy and remuneration that
company is offering that is somehow soothing your financial desire and your confusing career path. But
jumping into any random organization without knowing anything and having any background,
compelling yourself to make compromise with your career because you are so confuse about your
future goals, how much it sounds relevant and justifiable to you??? Again we suggest—finding ways to
leverage their passion and skills to fill a need in the world. Always find your purpose.

Here are few tips which can be an aid for right career planning;
1. Start to take initiative. Find your calling!!
The first and foremost important lesson of your life would be try to take the initiative. Just don’t try to
make your vision and though only limited to yourself. Ask and be confident about what you are capable

don’t mix it with your with your hobby. Because the career is what, which need to be immersed by your
passion.

We all know that finding your passion doesn't happen in a day. It takes time, serious thought and effort,
and some trial and error. But you have to begin somewhere! But the best way to start only requires 30
minutes—probably, the length of your lunch break--and all you have to do is answer a few questions

Meeting with a career counsellor will typically take place in one-to-one sessions where you will be

doesn’t have to come up with professional counselors always, few people surrounded around you
whom you can trust it with your heart and have got qualitative experience in the relevant field, can give
you nothing but the positive motivation and vibes can also be your true guide and influencer. Push
yourself to train for yourself. Try to take career development training to sharpen up your career
prospect and be more confident about your future responsibilities by taking prior skill development
trainings.
