Correct Answer:

The first stage, preparation for work, encompasses the period prior to entering an organization, often extending until age 25. It is a period in which individuals must acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities they will need to compete in the marketplace. Careful planning based on sound information should be the focus.
The second stage, organizational entry, typically from age 18 to 25, is devoted to soliciting job offers and selecting an appropriate job. During this period, one may also be involved in preparing for work.
The next three stages-early career, midcareer, and late career-entail fitting into a chosen occupation and organization, modifying goals, making choices, remaining productive, and finally, preparing for retirement.
