Stop Stressing and Talk to a Career Counsellor

Each and every one of us is a mixing bowl of potential, filled with individual talents and skills, dreams and desires, goals and an eagerness to accomplish something. But how do we  blend all those ingredients together to end up with a career we excel at and enjoy?

This question, and the adventure we undertake when we answer it, can arise at any point in a person’s life, but it begins for most when they are entering their senior years of high school. It’s a common rite of passage: students facing choices  when several post-secondary directions beckon.  Which field should you pick? Where do you want  to go to college or university? Is going directly to  employment after secondary school an option?  What about apprenticeship training?
No one can speak for everyone, but it is clear that making those choices at that early age can be  a heavy burden.

However, there are ways to reduce the anxiety—people and services you can turn to in order to help you make the smartest decision for your future.

When we look for sources of help, we find that the options are virtually unlimited. Let’s forget  that the online world exists and go traditional for  a moment. To start, make a list of all the people  in your life that you could go to for advice about  anything. By the time you are finished, the size  of the list will almost certainly amaze you. Don’t  leave anyone out—parents, friends, other family  members, coaches, teachers, and guidance  counsellors. Include them all. Each will have different  perspectives and offer you different styles  of advice.

Speak to each of them and compile what they say into an overall picture. Evaluate what they say  carefully. All this is important, because you’re making  a choice that will shape the rest of your life.

Yes. Go and speak to a career counsellor

Of course, there’s another choice that in some ways is simpler. You can go and speak to a career counsellor who works at one of the local post-secondary institutions. They answer these questions every day and are always happy to help someone shape their future. A good example of someone who’s benefited from career counselling is Ally Bottero, a 22-year-old public relations student at Algonquin College in Ottawa who started her post-secondary career taking film studies at Carleton University. After a couple of years, Bottero realized that, though she loved film studies, she wanted to make a change to something else.

“I went into the registrar’s office at Carleton and ended up speaking with one of their career counsellors. I told her that I didn’t know what direction I was going and I thought that maybe I needed a change. We chatted for almost an hour and through the entire chat we somehow ended up talking about the PR program at Algonquin College. It turns out I have the right mindset for communications. I don’t know if I would have found my way there if I hadn’t spoken to a career counsellor—and I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made,” said Bottero.

Granted, the personal conversation approach won’t work for everyone, but there are useful online tools and services that are available all the time and make an excellent fallback option. Such services can be a less subjective and more comprehensive source of career counselling information. For many, it’s produced great results.

It’s a Juggle

It’s a Juggle is an effective and easy-to-use career counselling and advancement tool available free for anyone. The original concept for It’s a Juggle came from Dr. Linda Pardy, Senior Partner at The Pardy Group, who conceived it as as a toolkit for building sustainable career success.

“We design sustainable student success for the 21st century workplace,” Pardy says. “To do this, we work with higher education and business leaders to support learners in achieving ongoing success in a complex economy.” As a professor of communications and a business partner, Pardy straddles the worlds of business and education, giving her a rich perspective from which to offer help. That help is crucially important, she says, because it helps learners “build better life stories.”

Essentially, the site offers a step-by-step planning platform that can help you answer all of the questions that arise while you plan your future. Everything from academic planning, career assessments, career planning, advice to both entrepreneurs and small business owners, all the way through to managing your mental health throughout the process can be considered through using this tool. After reviewing what the site has to offer—and knowing that I am already happily placed in my dream career in communications—I can see how much easier the path would have been if I had known about this at the beginning.

Life is complex. Tools help

There are some extremely specific tools online to help with individual aspects of your plan.  It isn’t your typical “college finder” app because it has a far more personal feel. This planner will walk you through the process of finding the perfect post-secondary school, allowing you to search out programs and schools by asking about your interests, the subjects you like, and any schools you might have your heart set on already. I believe this to be a far more pertinent way to go than just trying to answer the cliché question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Obviously, careers are not what they used to be, nor are the people who pursue them. Rarely do you see students coming fresh out of high school with all the answers—though they might think they have them—and moving directly onto their life’s pursuits. The world is just not that simple anymore. It’s quite typical for people to follow multiple career paths, by choice or by circumstance, before they eventually retire from the working world.

Career counselling makes life easier for all demographics. We all face challenges moving through life and no one can truly say they knew or know where exactly they should be heading. Ask the questions, find the answers, and plan your future. Not an easy task, I know, but there are many services available to help you make the important decisions.for more info, check out avant career

27 school staff fired for child sex abuse

France was shocked last year by the disclosure that a school headmaster who had been appointed despite a previous conviction for possessing child pornography was charged with aggravated rape of several pupils. Earlier this year, a high school teacher who had been convicted in Britain 10 years ago was given preliminary charges of sexual assault after police found pornographic images and video in his mobile phone.   According to a report aiming at improving communication between the ministries of education and justice published Wednesday, 19 members of staff in schools and high schools were fired in 2014 in cases related to child pornography or pedophilia. There were 26 staff at French schools laid off in 2013 for the same reason, and 15 in 2012.

We believe that a teacher, or an adult, or an administrative agent in contact with children cant work with children as soon as he has been sentenced for offenses as serious as pedophilia or child pornography, Vallaud-Belkacem told RTL radio.   Legislation forcing the Justice Ministry to keep education authorities informed of previous convictions will be adopted soon, she said, adding that the Education Ministry is now authorized to scrutinize the criminal records of all the teachers it employs.   It will take about one year as we are able to check about 3,000 dossiers every day, she said. Every case will be checked to see if, in the past, we missed some convictions. 


  Meanwhile, the French Catholic Church is also facing child abuse allegations that led Prime Minister Manuel Valls to urge a cardinal at the center of the scandal to take action. Cardinal Philippe Barbarin insisted Wednesday that he never concealed cases of child abuse reported to him.   Barbarin is among six church officials targeted in a preliminary judicial investigation that grew out of allegations that a priest had molested boy scouts in the 1980s.   Whether its school or church, I have a simple principle, Vallaud-Belkacem said. Pedophilia is something extremely serious that destroys lives. The principle is no silence, total transparency. Those who think that things can be settled internally or by remaining silent are making a serious mistake. I will be firm and sanctions will be issued when necessary. I am expecting the same from every institution.

How to Take Care of Plants in Monsoon

It’s monsoon time and it is the best time to decorate and give a new look to your garden and balcony. Plants require special care during monsoon season. 

In the monsoon season plantsneed special care to prevent them from damage and getting them destroyed. Although it is the best time for gardening and landscaping, but still few steps are required which need to be taken in order to prevent foliage. Due to excessive humidity and water, strong winds, and presence of too much salt in the air plants can be adversely affected.
Monsoon is the season for flowering shrub and fruit-bearing trees, Plants have an easing time after planting in this humidity and rainfall. Due to soft and moist ground, it is easy to turn and plants gets settle in without facing heat of summer. By following few steps and attention it is easier to plant all sizes of trees and shrubs.

Proper drainage
In the monsoon season, water logging should be taken care firstly. Flower beds must be raised little bit in order to ensure them from water logging. Before planting plants in pots, check the drainage holes by filling the water in pots, water should be drained out.
In order to encourage new plant growth, appearance of plants and overall shape, trim and prune the gardenplants prior to monsoon. Ideal time would be in summer or pre-monsoon.


Landscaping Types
Divide the garden into soft and hard landscape. Hard landscapes consist of rocks and pathways whereas soft landscapes consist of trees, flowers, plants.
Soft landscapes require specialcare during monsoon. Due to excessive rain plants can be damaged. Trimming of plants should be done prior to monsoon, tie small shrubs with rope. Check the roots, because if they are not firmly rooted in the ground or pot than rain water can easily wash away the plants.
Lawn mower is really helpful in cutting grass in the garden. Cut the grass short and ensure if the grass is protected from excessive mud.

Plants require watering to grow and flourish. Rain water is the best water for them to grow as it is free of chlorine. Plants are rejuvenated from Rain water. Thus, in light showers keep the plants outside sheds atleast once a week.
In monsoon season, chances of plants getting infected with slugs and snails are very prominent. Thus it requires safeguarding. Small steps can help you preventing your plants from them. Just clear the dead or decaying leaves and wet garden trash. Copper wire twined around the pots. This gives a non-lethal shock and keeps snails and slugs away from plants. Some other alternatives are; crushed egg shells, ground coffee beans and wood ash around pots. A ring of Vaseline smeared on the pots also works.

What's My Home Worth

If you own a home, you may be considering selling or refinancing it. Before you take any steps in this regard, you need to ask "Whats my home worth?"

What's My Home Worth

Figuring out the value of a home involves calculating a number of factors. It can get a bit overwhelming, but I will explain it below. If you prefer to let someone else do it, you can get your home worth immediately online by clicking the following link. This is the company mortgage lenders use to get reports on the value of homes. Yes, the actual report. Unlike the lead services out there, you will not be inundated by a million real estate agents trying to get your business. 

For those of you that like to do the work yourself, determining what your home is worth is a multifaceted approach. On one hand, a home is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. If you are looking to sell or refinance, however, that is not a very good guideline.


To objectively determine what you home is worth, you need to take a large number of factors into consideration. They include:

1. What are comparable homes selling for on your block or within three blocks at this time?
2. What did comparable homes sell for six months ago?
3. What did comparable homes sell for 1 year ago?
4. How long does the average comparable home sit on the market before selling?
5. What substantial improvements have you made, are there comparable homes that have done the same and how was their sales price impacted?
6. Are there any foreclosures in your area?
7. Is there any current or planned public works for the area such as a new freeway?
8. Is there open land near you?
9. What is the appreciation rate for your neighborhood for the last 3, 6 and 12 months?
10. Are lots of homes in your neighborhood for sale or only a few?

All of these factors contribute to the worth of your home. You want to start with the sales price of comparable homes in the last three months. Looking back a year, have prices risen or fallen on the sales - adjust your price accordingly. Next you need to determine if houses sitting on the market for longer than the previous six months which is a sign prices are or will be dropping.

As you can see, this gets technical. If you really want to know what your home is worth, just click the link.
