This is for school counselors. Hardworking professionals who help others make decisions about their lives. You guide people every day through some of the most important decisions in their lives, such as choosing a college major and a career path. 
Normal circumstances make it a difficult job. When you consider the American School Counseling Association, it’s not easy to manage that the counselor-to-student ratio in public schools was 482-to-1 in 2017.
Their preferred ratio is 250-to-1 250-to-1
It’s amazing.
A survey done by the National Association for College Admission Counseling found that counselors only spend 22% of their time on college counselling, while 78% go to counselling related to mental health. These issues are vital, and it’s not hard to see how important counselors influence students to go to college.
According to a recent report from the National Association of College Admissions Counseling, one meeting with a counselor to discuss financial aid or college can triple a student’s chances of getting into college. A 2013 College Board study found that one meeting with a school counselors to discuss college or financial aid triples a student’s college chances.
These numbers show that school counselors are crucial to students’ success. With such overwhelming caseloads, how do you make time to make an impact?
In many ways, success is about having various tools you can use to meet each student’s needs. The good news is that CareerFitter just announced that it would offer career test reports for free to all schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions around the globe.
 If you don’t know CareerFitter, it’s an online, scientifically-based career assessment that helps students identify their strengths and weaknesses in work, communication style, ideal work environment, earning potential, and other factors.
There are many types of career tests. CareerFitter focuses on who a person is at work. This is different from other personality tests like the Myers-Briggs or DISC. You may be one of those people who “has everything in its place” and are the most organized person at work. At home, however, you have clothes all over the place, and your keys are scattered everywhere. This is an important distinction that CareerFitter was built to make.
