7 Stages of Working Life. Career Planning and Occupational Awareness Tips for Career Success.

Career Planning
Having located potential work, you then need to market yourself and negotiate terms. Once in the job, you will be required to work on many levels, possibly handling a variety of tasks simultaneously. Learn to see every potential work situation as a market. Find new ways to exploit your skills, knowledge, and experience, and learn how to take advantage of opportunities to sell yourself.
Core workers are expected to have a wide range of skills including leadership, managerial, development, professional, and technical abilities.
If you want to get the maximum return from your networking, you need to give a high profile to your transferable skills.
You need to be able to work without a clear job description and to prepare yourself for short-term employment.
To stay in work you will need to constantly demonstrate your value to the organization in each new situation.
Your place within a new company is as the supplier, fulfilling a need to the customer (the employer).
In order to maintain a productive and financially rewarding working life, you will need job-specific skills plus job-search skills—and you are responsible for acquiring them.
