Post persevere
Using the word persevere: 'This woman has persevered in her carreer'. Is the word used correctly?

It is fine.

My grandmother used to infuriate me as a small child when I was cleaning her carpets and finding it heavy work by saying "Persevere, persevere, persevere". Grandmothers can be very tactless.
