Yet more thoughts on job search. My brain keeps turning around and around, and this is when I don't even have a job offer on hand...weird huh...

As people have seen me on skype or msn, the nick has been job or career.
What do I value more? A job or a career?

My friend asks, what's the difference. A job is something that you do to just bring in the money. It is probably something that you have done well and should continue exploiting that ability. A career is your aspiration. The best combination is that your career is your job, but sometimes it may not be the case.

Take myself for example...right now, I have neither a job nor a career. Should I head back to doing what I was good at (software development, or dealing with things that I have done before)? That advantages of doing that is to bring in some money at the moment...and I can have more time outside of work to pursue what I want to do...or should I just go ahead and venture forth in a different direction/industry/scope and hope to make something out of that?

Everyday I wonder...and I don't even have a job offer yet. Weird huh...as my friend would say, just try for everything and see what happens. Only thing is that to try for everything requires a lot of effort into researching that industry/role to prepare for the interview. sigh...so I keep wondering and wondering...............
