When I think about how an ideal guidane service should look like I ask myself a question if it will be ever possible to build a perfect world where everyone could get a perfect advice.
Well, I guess that the perfection will never be achieved. But we can still aspire to improve guidance service so that we can make a difference. My personal view of the ideal guidance is that there is one very important factor that can make things better. That is tme. I feel that in many cases it is not possible to help the client because there is not enough time to sort all issues that the client brings. I have seen many one-to-one interviews and sadly all of them were very much limited by the time frame. It used to happen especially in Careers Scotland where careers advisors were given only 20 minutes for an interview.
What else should ideal guidance include? I believe that cultural awareness is also very important and that we should pay more attention to others' various backgrounds. I also think that the ideal guidance service should be opened to all ages. Focusing only on one group of young people can make a real harm to others who are left behind.
Additionally, I think that an ideal guidance should not be so much driven by targets. Strong target approach can suddenly change people into figures. In this case there can be less space for empathy, understanding, acceptance. We should never forget that we work for and with people, not with the figures.
In overall, I believe that ideally people should be treated like people because we all deserve it. also, we are all equal and every one should be given an equal chance to develop skills, build experience and simply enjoy the life in many possible aspects.
