Enabling career choices

Concept of career coaching for students is not commonly available in India. Parents usually influence their kids to pick their future from three or four conventional options. Subject streams are decided by grades unlike west where they are decided by the candidate's strengths and likings.

At atfirstpage (atfirstpage.com) we enable our candidates to explore and go for informed choices.

Emotions are strongly linked to memory and experience. If something bad has previously happened, it affects your emotional response to the same stimulus is likely to be strong. Children feel emotion but can’t necessarily reason. Emotions are also closely linked to values: an emotional response could tell you that one of your key values has been challenged.
