when you hear the term career what do
you think of many people envision a
nine-to-five job or someone pursuing a
specialized field these are both valid
examples but when it comes down to it a
career is a reflection of you and your
work people have viewed careers
differently over the years decades ago
some considered a career to be working
with one company until you retired later
others viewed it as working your way up
through a specific industry but nowadays
the workforce is changing at a faster
pace a career can include side hustles
or working in the gig economy many
people are also changing jobs more
frequently because of the way our
workforce is evolving there's no right
or wrong way to define what a career is
for example let's take a look at
Jennifer she's always been a great
creative problem solver her first job
was helping her parents to run their
family business but for her next job she
found herself in event planning and
while working through both of these she
was also a freelance artist and was
blogging on a regular basis even though
these jobs seemed fairly unrelated
together they form a career of her own
simply put a career is a culmination of
the jobs you hold and how you weave them
together to form a bigger picture
