peer agreement (net): +1| ... eine längerfristige Existenz aufbauen möchte who is looking for a long-term career opportunity Explanation: I think it implies that this position is not "just" a job but a career, i.e. even though this position might initially be not that great, it is made to look attractive by the availability of a career path. cf: Choosing to take a new job that offers a chance to learn new skills, advancement possibilities, and a lower salary can be a tough call. As Tom Mochal explains, losing a little compensation is often a small price to pay for long-term career benefits. http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-6316-5054713.html |
