CONTRIBUTOR CAREER STRATEGY (CPD)

Submitted By:Vijay Chauhan(VII SEM, Computer Engg.)

CONCEPT OF CAREER CONTRIBUTORSwami Vivekananda believed that “ Career”

does not mean begging for employment or seeking to be gainfully occupied.

To him, “Career” meant an opportunity for us to embark upon a glorious journey of mighty contribution- to oneself, to our community, to our nation and even to the world at large.

ACQUISITIVE & CONTRIBUTIVE CAREERAn acquisitive career is one in which the

career-seeker is focused on acquiring higher position, higher salary and more benefits.

A contributive career is one where the career-seeker is focused on contributing, with rewards being a by-product of the contributions made.
