Introduction to Careers (hereinafter, the Session) is a learning session introducing its learners to career administration and related topics. The Session consists of six presentations, each of which is followed by a quiz. The Session is published at CNM Wiki and CNM Campus. The materials without quiz questions are also published at various channels for marketing and convenience purposes.

The CNM Campus version is also the fourth of eight sessions of WorldOpp Orientation (hereinafter, the Orientation).

Introduction to Recruitment is the predecessor session.

Career Essentials

Main wikipage: Career Essentials; video (3:44)
Career. An occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress.
Career administration. A set of endeavors undertaken in order to administer one's career.

Career Projects

Main wikipage: Career Projects; video (7:33)
Project. One or more enterprise efforts undertaken to create a unique deliverable, functional features of which are identified or can be identified before the efforts start. Any project can be viewed as a set of processes.
  • Career waterfall. A sequential process where progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards through the phases. These phases may vary, but often consist of (a) discovering one's vocation, (b) suggesting one's target industry and/or occupation, (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 methodology. The project administration approach of developing the deliverable in frequent iterations based on the requirements that evolve based on the results of previous iterations. The Agile methodology is characterized by frequent reassessment and adaptation of initial objectives. Instead of once-defined projects in the Waterfall model, the Agile methodology encourages continuous re-definition based on continuous feedback. This feature makes the Agile methodology instrumental in those development that are as inherently unpredictable as most of career projects are.
