Job vs Career: 10 Key Differences You Need To Understand

1. In It For The Long Term Ask yourself this question: are you in it for the short term? Or the long term? If you’re in it for the short term, it’s hard to get fully motivated to do great work.

2. It Takes Time To Grow Professional development and personal growth are the most important part of employee engagement.

3. Building Experience The key difference between collecting money or collecting experience is that you’re not there for the money.

4. You Give Extra Effort When You’re Engaged When you’re working at a job you don’t care much about you do the absolute bare minimum. When you have a career that you love, you’re willing to above and beyond your normal duty.

5. Leave Work Happy Of course in a career that you absolutely love there will be some bad days, but for the most part, you leave work happy.

6. A Case Of The Mondays Monday mornings. Definitely not everyone’s favorite time of the week, but when you love what you do, and you’re passionate about work, it’s not as bad as it would be if you didn’t like your job.

7. Spend Your Time Growing In The Company When you’re in an organization that you love, you spend that time and energy on building your reputation, making connections, and working your way up the ladder.

8. Value Alignment = Culture Fit When someone’s personal values align with the company’s values, that is the definition of culture fit.

9. Most Jobs Are Boring When you’re working at a job that you don’t like, you spend most of your day looking at the clock, counting down the time until you can go home. It’s the complete opposite if you’re working in an organization that you love.

10. A Career Is A Journey When you have a career that you love, it’s a long term, enjoyable journey that can change your life.
