English term or phrase: career seekers
What if the dreamers and the entrepreneurs aligned to create a better world, a better life, a better life for you, your family, your friends, ***career seekers***, passion chasers?

Est-ce tout simplement "carriéristes" ?

Moins péjoratif que "carrièriste". Ce peut être le choix d'étudiants...en Sciences Po!

Peut-être, alors, "impétrants", c'est un seul mot, mais c'est un peu pédant!

agree  Bruno Moynié: Pas sûr car il me semble que carriériste à une connotation négative que “career seeker” n’a pas ici.
