Your perception and your thinking define the values which are needed to shape the perfect career. Organizations keep values in mind before employee the person. 

Following description defines the career values:
  1. Some people give importance to the money in life and search for the rewarding jobs. Main motive of doing job is to earn more and more and job profile is neglected. This can give a negative impact to the recruiter who is taking your interview.

  6. Some people give importance to the working conditions and work place. It is often seen that the working environment and atmosphere of the good companies is better and the values are maintained to define certain standards.
  7. The type of work and your status also give information about the values. Some people are very cautious about their position in the company and try to climb the hierarchy to improve the status and get the better position.
  8. Some people are self centered and don't like to help others. Providing help to the others in the company is not at all bad but due to the feeling of competition people avoid helping others and just concentrate on their work.
Career Values are really important and core values should always be kept in mind to shape the dynamic and successful career.
