How Career Counselling can help in Choosing the Right Career?
Job insecurity is something we all have gone through at some point in time. When one works in the corporate sector, it is quite natural to remain insecure about jobs. With the fast-paced world and hardcore competitions among various companies, employees have started feeling insecure about their jobs and needs by a company.
Unemployment causes insecurity among people. It creates a lot of uncertainty and helplessness among individuals.
I understand it is very difficult to find stable jobs these days. In fact, job insecurity is one of the most stressful aspects of unemployment. It leaves a worse impact on employees.
What is job insecurity?
Many people think job insecurity refers only to losing a job, but it also refers to the loss of other key components like pay or promotion. It covers all the potential risks one faces in the workplace.
What causes job insecurity?
Job insecurity can be caused due to different reasons for different people. In most cases, I have seen some common causes that generally lead to insecurity of jobs in employees. Some of these reasons include:
- New management: Most of the time, employees feel insecure about their jobs when they are handed over to a new management team. When you work in a firm for a long time, you get habitual to their work environment and feel more secure. Many times management groups are changed in firms, and it asks you to change your way of working. When this happens, you start feeling insecure about your value in the workplace. It is seen that as a new management team comes in, people start worrying about losing their jobs. What you should do instead is to introduce the new management to your way of working. Talk to them and show them your potential instead. Try to make space for yourself instead of giving up on your dreams.
- Recession: Almost all companies reach a point where they have to go through a recession. The economy works in a looped manner. In fact, most people are said to lose their jobs to the recession. Employees start feeling insecure about their jobs as soon as they hear about an upcoming recession. They start predicting economic crises and job loss even before it happens. It causes job insecurity in them.
- Toxic work environment: No one wants to work in a company whose boss or employees are toxic. Employees of such workplaces live in constant fear of being fired or scolded for their work. Even though it is better to leave such a work environment on your own, job insecurity always persists.
- New skills requirements: One of the common reasons for the insecurity that I have noticed lies with the older generations. The older employees are generally seen to be insecure of the younger workforce. They think they lack the new skills and qualities that the younger coworkers have, and it makes them feel insecure about their job. They think the younger coworkers are more fast and efficient than them and that the company wants to get rid of the older people.
How can career counselling help?
Here are some ways in which career counselling can help you overcome job insecurity:
- Motivate you: Most of the time, the insecurity is only in the head of the person. They feel insecure because of their own thoughts. A counsellor can help you get rid of such self-doubts and bring in motivation and positivity.
- Learn new skills: Through career counselling, instead of wasting time thinking about uncertain things, you learn new skills. A counsellor helps you in finding new skills and building a robust impact on others.
- Learn to take things positively: A counsellor can help you turn even the negative things into a positive way. You start looking for the positive sides of situations. In job insecurities, we spend most of our time wondering about the negative sides of all the situations. Counselling will help us see positivity in every circumstance.
- Identify your skills: Many times insecurity at a job is caused when we are not sure if we want to do what we are doing. Most people working in the corporate sector feel they do not belong there. They feel insecure and uncomfortable doing the job. Through career counselling, you can get a clear idea of what you really want. You learn your true skills through the right counselling.
- Learn to face your insecurities: As I have already said, the counsellor will help you set realistic goals. Most insecurities lie in a person’s head. A counsellor helps you in getting these insecurities out of your head. You learn to face your fears and overcome the insecurities to get a clear perspective towards life.
