Your career: A lifelong journey

Your career is something much larger than a job or an occupation. Your career is the variety of experiences of learning and works (both unpaid and paid) that you undertake throughout your lifetime.

Career: the sum total of paid and unpaid work, learning and life roles you undertake throughout your life.

Occupation: a group of similar jobs found in different industries or organizations.

Job: a position in which you perform tasks for payment.

Our careers are influenced by many things, such as our interests, our age, our education, our families and our cultural values, most of which change over time. In the 21st century, very few people will have a job or an occupation for life. You can expect to make several changes throughout your career.

It's up to you to actively manage the process of building your career, rather than just letting it happen. You will need to plan and manage your lifelong career journey. You are the person best suited to make choices on the basis of your own skills, knowledge and interests. But as you get started, remember that you won't be alone. Be open to those who can help and support you along the way, and offer your help and support to others as well.

DRESS CODE

Dress codes are sets of regulations governing what is and is not appropriate attire for a given setting or event. In years past, it was usually easy to convey a dress code by noting that the appropriate dress would be casual, business, semi-formal, formal, or black-tie. Over the years, the relaxation of clothing options in various settings has changed, often making it necessary to further define what type of clothes are considered proper for a given situation.

Many different settings require a specific dress code. One of the most common is in the workplace. Offices often set a specific dress code in order to create a perception of professionalism. The idea is usually that if people are required to dress in a certain manner, they will conduct themselves in a more businesslike fashion. It is not unusual for an office dress code to specifically require a certain length of skirt for women, a coat and tie for men, and sometimes even the range of colors that are considered appropriate for the workplace.

Schools also commonly have dress codes. Elementary and junior high schools may require students to abide by a dress code as part of the process of maintaining order on the campus. While a school dress code used to consist mainly of identifying various types of clothing that were not permissible on school grounds, the trend today is to specify a simple shirt matched with slacks or a skirt that serves as a uniform. This approach is thought to help minimize outward differences between the children and thus remove at least one factor of elitism or class distinction by having all the students wear essentially the same type of clothing.

Dress attire for social events is often specified in order to prevent confusion over what type of clothing is proper for the event. The need to be more specific about the dress code for such events as weddings, benefit dinners, and even social events taking place at a house of worship is much more common in modern times than in previous decades. Prior to the societal change of the 1960s, all these events required at least business dress, and often were specified as requiring formal dress. Today, however, weddings may take place in settings where jeans, shorts and even swimsuits may be more appropriate for the occasion. Benefit dinners are also sometimes held in casual settings and thus require casual dress. Even many houses of worship have loosened dress codes and may allow jeans or other types of casual clothing at various social events.

TABLE MANNERS

Good table manners avoid ugliness. All rules of table manners are made to avoid it. To let anyone see what you have in your mouth is offensive. So is to make a noise. To make a mess in the plate is disgusting. So there are some rules how to behave yourselves at the table:

Do not attract undue attention to yourself in public.

When eating take as much as you want, but eat as much as you take. Never stretch over the table for something you want, ask your neighbour to pass it. Take a slice of bread from the bread-plate by hand, don't harpoon your bread with a fork. Never read while eating (at least in company).

When a dish is placed before you do not eye it suspiciously as though it were the first time you had seen it, and do not give the impression that you are about to sniff it.

Chicken requires special handling. First cut as much as you can, and when you can't use knife or fork any longer, use your fingers. The customary way to refuse a dish is by saying, "No, thank you" (or to accept, "Yes, please"). Don't say "I don't eat that stuff, don't make faces or noises to show that you don't like it.

In between courses don't make bread-balls to while the time away and do not play with the silver.

Do not empty your glass too quickly — it will be promptly refilled. Don't put liquid into your mouth if it is already full. Don't eat off the knife.

Vegetables, potatoes, macaroni are placed on your fork with' the help of your knife. If your food is too hot don't blow on it as though you were trying to start a campfire on a damp night. Try to make as little noise as possible when eating.

And, finally, don't forget to say "thank you" for every favour or kindness.
