There is a huge difference between the two. As career coaches we recommend that you don’t just look for a job. Recruiters and managers can spot the difference in a candidate for a position. They prefer someone who knows where their career is heading and needs an employer to give them the opportunities to meet their goals and objectives. Candidates who know what they are going to be doing in five years have a greater chance to win the job, and beat their competitors to the final three in the interview process.
