apt-get a Career at Dogsbody

A career can mean very different things to different people, some want to climb the corporate ladder, others want to pursue more adventures, of their own, outside of work – most do a combination of everything 🙂

Your career goals may look very different to your friends, families and colleagues but along the way you will keep on learning and developing.

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.” – Michelangelo.
