Byars (2004) describes a job as a: “Group of positions that are identical with respect to their major or significant tasks and responsibilities and sufficiently alike to justify their being covered by a single analysis. One or many persons may be employed in the same job” (p. 440). The word “position” describes what most of think of when one uses the word “job” as a “collection of tasks and responsibilities constituting the total work assignment of a single employee. There are as many positions as there are employees in the organization” (Byars, 2004, p. 443). Some firms go so far as to use the phrase job description and position description to describe the job performed by an employee in a particular position. ***In this century, shouldn’t the employer more accurately describe the concept of “work” due to the internet, intranet and the ability to telecommunicate?*** Whether one is employed by the same firm or changes employers, one typically holds several positions during their career which is “a sequence of positions occupied by a person during the course of a lifetime” (Cascio, 2002, p. 662). A career does not just happen. The course a successful career requires planning.
