Building a successful career is the ultimate dream of any youth. However most of them somehow fail in achieving their dreams due to various reasons. The main reason could be the vague career path that they build for them. Career is something that shouldn’t be built based on the monetary and other benefits. Instead it should be built around the capabilities, skills, and aspirations of any individual. If an individual can exactly identify what his or her strengths are then that will be a solid step towards building a successful career. Next it’s becoming their responsibility to match their capabilities and skills in relations to the industry, job, capacity and qualification. And finally choosing the right employer with the right vacancy ensures a successful career. If an individual follows these sequences its evident that such person assumes a progressive career. However for most of the youths this task doesn’t sound appealing due to lack of experience and knowledge. This is the main reason for them to fail in choosing the suitable career for them. Pursuing an unsuitable qualification, getting misguided by their friends and parents, negligently choosing an employment, financial constraints in getting the right qualification etc. are some of the hurdles that make the youths to permanently fail in building a successful career. Regardless of these hurdles there are resources which could help these youths in many ways. Talking to suitably experienced adult, consulting professional HR consultants, researching the industry, etc. would give them more information about capabilities and careers which enable them to make better decisions about their career.
