What is Career ?
We see students getting confused while making decisions regarding their careers. It's not that they do not have dreams and a will to decide a fixed line. Most of the times, this confusion is the result of the gap between the student's choice and expectations of her/his parents.
Usually few factors are not taken under consideration while making the career choice.
• Awareness about the student's aptitude
• Demands and prerequisites of fields of career being chosen by the student.
• Role of the student's personality in the profession
• Other fields related to area of interest of the student
• Misconceptions about some professions

What is Graphology?
Graphology is the analysis of the physical characteristics and patterns of handwriting purporting to be able to identify the writer,
indicating psychological state at the time of writing, or evaluating personality characteristics.
It is generally considered a pseudoscience.
Graphology has been used clinically by European counselors and psychotherapists.
When it is used, it is generally used alongside other projective personality assessment tools, and not in isolation.
It is often used within individual psychotherapy, marital counseling, or vocational counseling.
.
HOW DOES GRAPHOLOGY WORK?
Graphology is a blend of art and science. It is ascience because it measures the structure and movement of the written forms -
slants, angles and spacing are accurately calculated and the pressure is observed in magnification and with precision.
And it is an art because the graphologist has constantly to keep in mind the total context in which the writing is taking place:
the 'gestalt' of the writing as a whole.
Writing consists of three things - movement, spacing andform.
A graphologist studies these variations as they occur in each of these aspects of writing,
and attaches psychological interpretations to them. Expert graphologists can achieve a very high degree of accuracy.
THE USES OF GRAPHOLOGY :
Graphology not only examines behaviour, but the subconscious or the whys that lie behind actions, providing information that could not be established in any other way or in such a quick time.
Recruitment : where it is an invaluable aid because an experienced graphologist can pick out the best candidates, and advise over suitability.
Management selection : In commerce and industry where it is employed in conjunction with psychometric testing.
Corporate training : where it can highlight staff strengths and flag up weaknesses, potential and motivation.
Security checking : and the evaluation of honesty and integrity.
Career guidance : for those seeking employment or a change of direction.
Compatibility assessments : for business and personal relationships.
Personality profiling : for individuals seeking self-awareness for self-development.
Child and family guidance : to help resolve sensitive issues.
