are a number of ways to define a career and the term is used in a variety of ways.
Everybody who has a career exactly wants to advance their career.
Argument 1 If you want to advance your career, you will have to make some careful decisions about
which jobs you take. Consider a job offered for the value it has to your career. It may mean
sacrifices at first.
Argument 2 You may have to move to a different region or country to get a job that is right for you. You
may have to work late hours, at least temporarily. You might even have to take a lower
salary for a job that offers you the experience that you need. But you should never accept a
job if it is not related to your career goals.

you need or want. You will find yourself frustrated in such a position and consequently will
not perform your best.
Conclusion This will have an effect on the people around you, who will not feel as if you are being part
of the team. The best advice is to think carefully before accepting any position and make
sure that the job is one you have.
