Many people change jobs, earn more money, and still feel strangely stuck. The reason is often simple: they changed the role, while the underlying direction stayed the same. This lesson helps you see the difference between a job and a career, so your choices create more future opportunities.

Is this for career design or job hunting?
It is for career design. You examine career shapes, strengths, positioning, career capital, transitions and risk rather than tactics for securing a role.
Do I need a clear direction before I begin?
No, you can begin without a fixed direction. The path starts by separating a career from a job, then helps you examine your strengths, interests and preferred career shape.
Can I fit this around a full working week?
Yes. Each lesson takes five minutes, followed by a quiz, so you can study between work commitments without setting aside a long block.
Will this help me plan a major career change?
It teaches you how to map a transition and name its costs. You compare industry and functional changes, pivots, reinvention and starting over before examining the risks around each move.
How does this relate to promotion decisions?
It explains how careers grow and how positioning and career capital shape readiness for a move. Your employer makes promotion decisions, so completion does not promise a specific result.
Where can I study and what marks completion?
You can study on phone or web, and every course is taught in English. Stripe handles checkout, and you can cancel anytime. You earn a named certificate inside Astra Trainer after the final exam.
