Each person’s career goes through stages, and the stage you are in will influence your knowledge of and preference for various occupations. The main stages of this career cycle follows.

每个人的职业所经历的阶段,并且这些阶段将影响你的知识,和对各种职业的偏爱。职业的主要循环阶段如下。

Growth Stage The growth stage lasts roughly from birth to age 14 and is a period during which the person develops a self-concept by identifying with and interacting with other people such as family, friends and teachers. Toward the beginning of this period, role playing is important, and children experiment with different ways of acting; this helps them to form impressions of how other people react to different behaviors and contributes to their developing a unique self-concept or identity. Toward the end of this stage, the adolescent (who by this time has developed preliminary ideas about what his or her interests and abilities are) begins to think realistically about alternative occupations.

成长阶段成长阶段大约是从出生持续到14岁,在这个阶段的人通过与别人认识和相互影响来增强自我了解,例如家庭、朋友和老师。在这一时期的开始阶段,角色扮演很重要,孩子们尝试不同方式行为,这帮助他们形成其它人怎样应对不同的行为的印象，并为发展出他们各自的自我了解或身份作出贡献。在这一

阶段的末尾,青少年(这时已发展出关于他或她的兴趣和能力的早期的看法)开始考虑可能的职业。

Establishment Stage The establishment stage spans roughly ages 24 to 44 and is the heart of most people’s work lives. During this period, it is hoped a suitable occupation is found and the person engages in those activities that help him or her earn a permanent place in it. Often and particularly in the professions, the person locks on to a chosen occupation early. But in most cases this is a period during which the person is continually testing his or her capabilities and ambitions against those of the initial occupational choice.
