Career Entry, Mastery, and Disengagement: Where are you?
Carole Kanchier shares research on career and life cycles in ‘Questers Dare to Change’
Do you feel restless? Are you wondering what to do with your life? Or, do you have a sense of purpose, feel confident, productive, and in charge of your life?
My research on occupational change, described in “Questers Dare to Change Your Job and Life,” show growing adults experience cycles of discontent every five to ten years with the average cycle occurring every 7.5 years.
Although we all have our own rhythms of change, we generally proceed through alternating developmental and transition periods. Transitions, which generally begin during late adolescence and occur every decade following are times for questioning who we are and where we want to go. During developmental periods we make commitments to and work toward desired goals.
At the same time, we also experience the career cycle of entry, mastery, and disengagement. During entry, we enthusiastically learn new tasks. In mastery, we’re confident and productive. If our work is no longer challenging, we lose enthusiasm, productivity, and confidence. This disengagement stage of the occupational cycle tends to parallel life cycle transitions.
Where are you in the career and life cycles? Chapter 5, The Career Cycle Meets the Life Cycle, in “Questers Dare to Change Your Job and Life,” helps you clarify your feelings about your career and life.
