Career Counseling is a process that will help you to know and understand yourself and the world of work in order to make educational, career and life decisions. It was an honor for the BES college students to get guidance from the experts regarding modern day emerging careers. The seminar conducted by the college had invited various professionals.

A good career coach learns to change his/her orientation in order to respond to the specific needs of the clients at different stages of the career coaching. He is an Assessor, Information Provider, Referral Agent, Guide, and Tutor. Just like Mr.G. Jai Shankar a renowned career counselor quotes that “If you enjoy the difficulties that are your job. If you hate the difficulties get out”. His main focus was to make students aware of the future possibilities and how to grab them.

Mr. Pramod Maloo a digital engineer thinks that the present generation is attracted to easy money, which he thinks is possible through Digital Marketing. There’s no denying it, the world is rapidly shifting from analogue to digital. People are consuming more and more digital content on a daily basis and companies that have not yet recognized this in their marketing strategies need to adapt fast. The good news is that digital offers just as much potential to marketers as it does to consumers.
