Career Alignment vs Career Achievement: What's the Difference?

Career achievement asks: "What have I accomplished?" Career alignment asks: "How well does my career direction connect with who I am, what I can contribute, what I value, and what I want to develop?"

Achievement vs alignment

Achievement can include: promotions; qualifications; awards; income; leadership responsibilities; measurable results. Alignment considers the relationship between those achievements and the person doing the work.

They can reinforce each other but are not the same

Achievement alone cannot prove alignment.

Career clarity starts with understanding the relationship between who you are and the work you are doing.
