Culture Notes

1. Difference between Job and Career

Many

people

believe

that

choosing

a

job

and

choosing

a

career

are

the

same;

however

they?re

different.

Each

job

is

a

tool

to

provide

income

to

reach

financial

goals.

On

the

other

hand,

a

career

is

a

vocation

in

which

talents

and

skills

are

expressed throughout a lifetime.

Having a job rarely involves any planning. But a career always requires careful

career planning and preparation. A job becomes less satisfying over time especially if

your true gifts and abilities are not utilized. A career allows you to cultivate and focus

your passion and interests.

Born on March 3, 1847, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Alexander Graham Bell was the

son and grandson of authorities in elocution and the correction of speech. Educated to

pursue a career in the same specialty, his knowledge of the nature of sound led him

not only to teach the deaf, but also to invent the telephone. In 1876, at the age of 29,

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Bell might easily have been content

with

the

success

of

his

invention.

His

many

laboratory

notebooks

demonstrate,

however, that he was driven by a genuine and rare intellectual curiosity that kept him

regularly searching, striving, and wanting always to learn and to create.

Most

people

choose

jobs

and

work

environments

that

fit

lifestyle

choices.

2

Careers

are

chosen

to

leverage

education

and

experience

for

advancement

and

progression.

A job

offers stability

and security.

A career stimulates talents

in

a way

that aligns with personal aspirations.

A job represents routine, low risk and stability.

A career embodies flexibility, risk and opportunity.

It can be said that in a job one works to live, and in a career one lives to work.

2. Universum:

Universum is an international corporation headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.

And it is a global leader in employer branding.

an MBA student. He began with a local student survey and an ambition to improve

communication between students and the employers who want to recruit them.

3. CareerBuilder:

CareerBuilder is an online source for jobs. It lists about 1,600,000 continuously

updated jobs, representing more than 25,000 of the top employers in virtually every
