What is career success? The
answer is simple – it is a matter of satisfaction. When an employee is
satisfied with his or her career and an employer is satisfied with the
employee, then the career can be deemed a success. During one’s time spent
studying in school, college or university, the academic environment becomes
very familiar. Many topics must be learned and good grades must be obtained
consistently to be successful in school. But what does it take to become
successful in industry? In addition to academic skills, specific industry
skills must be mastered. Success in industry depends on an ability to
comprehend and appropriately respond to industry needs.
