What is a Career?
To start off with its important to know that a career is more than just a job. In fact its likely to be more like a series of jobs. These jobs are often aligned with particular experience that would result in the development of particular knowledge and skills. Alongside these work experiences, a career can often involve or require the reinforcement of this knowledge and skill through recognised qualifications.
A career usually involves:
- A series of jobs
- The development of work experience
- Recognised qualifications/licences/accreditations
Why should I consider a career?
The number one reason we should consider a career rather than just get a job, is the amount of time we spend at work in our lifetimes.
When a major portion of our waking hours are spent at work, we should all consider doing something that we want to do with that time!
Building a career can have you working a role that not only you enjoy, but that plays to your strengths and suits your lifestyle. By finding this you are guaranteed to get more satisfaction from your nine to five than ever before.
