Career vs job 事業是天

When I was an interviewer have many chance to meet interviewees from HongKongers and mainland Chinese which benefit to my PhD research on study on workplace human attitude and behaviour. I often asked them one question why they came for this interview. Some people answered as need a job, or need an opportunity. Then, I asked them what the difference between them. Most interviewees appeared confusion or never think about it before. Recently or mostly, in the UK and HK, employers wont hire any extra people in their business whatever its economic is good or not. Employees have to demonstrate their own value. So, that is core difference. When you want to demonstrate your own value, you see the job as your career and will fully engaged and contribute more extra than demanding. If you see it as just a job, you can hardly enjoy it and obtain your own benefit. So, do and choose what you love rather than just survive for a job.
