Career counseling is a professional service that assists individuals in understanding their skills, interests, and values to make informed career decisions. It encompasses guidance on educational and professional pathways, job search strategies, and personal development to achieve career objectives.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the global job market, leading to widespread unemployment and altering traditional work environments. In this context, career counseling has become increasingly vital. Counselors are now tasked with providing effective support to unemployed individuals facing a transformed employment landscape. This includes helping clients adapt to new job search methods, acquire relevant skills, and navigate the uncertainties of the post-pandemic world.
