Career Laugh 

A Career Laugh is a fake laugh designed to further your standings on the career ladder. Used primarily to laugh at superiors jokes and vaguely funny comments so you keep in their favour. To other members of staff someone who has a Career Laugh tends to come across as very annoying and fake... and the laugh irritating to say the least.
A Career Laugher will force a laugh out on the telephone to clients and superiors.

Career Girlfriend 

The Career Girlfriend : The kind of girl, whom by the end of the first date is already talking about wedding plans, kids and where the new house would ideally be.

Being your girlfriend is her career and you are 'the one'. This has of course been repeated many times previously, curiously failing each time due to a fleeing boyfriend.
"Watch out dude, she's a total Career Girlfriend!"

Warning Signs:

1) "Thanks, it's been a really good day - does this mean 'we' are an 'us'?"
2) Talk of the "L" word by date number two

career politician 

A person who approaches to politics as a profession. A person who's in politics to make money and/or to have power.
For them, making the world a better place is secondary or immaterial.
Hillary Clinton calling Bernie Sanders a "career politician" is beyond infuriating.

Career Capital 

Career Capital is the value of competencies, knowledge and individual personality attributes you have to produce economic value. Career Capital is vitally important for an individual’s success in all stages of work and life. Career Capital can increase through education, experience and your ability to identify and convert opportunity. In the digital age, building your career capital requires a conscious effort to strategically evolve in order to act and influence as a valuable and respected resource.
If you want to get a job, you can no longer just apply like everyone else. You need to understand the business and learn what they need and where they are planning to go so you can bring value and ideas right away. This way you come into the interview with the career capital you need to be the best person for the job.

"Going into the room alone with a guest at a hotel is career suicide. Just ask Kobe's alleged victim. Do you notice the day after the accusations spread they said 'former' hotel worker?"

Career Bruno

A plain-looking or unattractive woman who has chosen a professional career path rather than marrying, bearing children, and raising a family. Often times these women resent men, and often abuse their limited authority and influence in the workplace.
Mick: I just had my annual review with Jennifer. She thinks I don't have my shit together. I didn't get even a 1% raise...
Dean: I just had mine with Kevin. He said I don't have my shit together either, but we laughed about it, and he gave me a 6% raise anyway. That Jennifer is such a fucking Career Bruno....I'm glad I don't work for her anymore!
