This chapter focuses on critical vocabulary that enhances understanding of career success concepts. Key terms include 'submissive,' 'aggressive,' and 'assertive,' which describe various interpersonal styles in the workplace.

Understanding 'self-concept,' 'underemployment,' and the need for 'variety' in tasks fosters better career decisions.
