Script

There are two approaches to administer career projects. Agile career projects assume frequent adjustments that reflect the newly-discovered information, while career waterfalls are more sequential.
In the waterfalls, the development progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards through the phases. These phases may vary, but they are planned in advance.
One's waterfall may start with discovering one's vocation. Usually, a kid is asked "who do you want to be when you have grown up?" If the kid doesn't know, a college career counselor will ask "what do you like to do?" either in person or through some aptitude test.
When one's vocation is identified, suggesting one's target industry and/or occupation may come next. If parents don't have their vision for their child, the counselor may introduce him or her to the Occupational Outlook Handbook or another resource, so the targets can be established.

(c) identifying work-related competence needed for a particular position, (d) development of one's KSAs, (e) development one's employment credentials, (f) job search, (g) adjustments to the job market, and/or (h) landing one's job in the target occupation and/or target industry.

Agile Career Projects is the successor lectio.
