Answer 1

Answer:

Taryn is a Salesperson who leaves a job at a grocery store and takes a job at a department store: Job change.

Monika is a High School Principal who takes a new job at a different high school: Job change.

Justina is a Carpenter who takes a job as an Electrician: Career change.

Odell is a Flight Attendant who undergoes training and becomes an Airline Pilot: Career change.

Archie is a Registered Nurse who leaves his job at a hospital and goes to work at a nursing home: Job change.

Frederick is a Bank Teller who takes a job as a Cashier: Job change.

Explanation:

A job change is when there is a change in the job/ place of work but the person still retains or does the same work, but just in a new environment. Whereas a career change is when the person changes his field of expertise or interest from one field to another, thereby making a complete overhaul of things. This may not necessarily involve a change in the workplace.

In the case of Taryn, Monika, Archie, and Frederick, their jobs remain the same even when they change their workplace. Taryn change from a grocery store to a department store, Monika from one high school to another, Archie from a job as a registered nurse in a hospital to a nursing home while Frederick changes from a Bank Teller to a cashier.

Whereas, Justina's case of changing from a carpenter to an electrician and Odell's job as an Airline Pilot from a Flight Attendant are examples of career changes.
