- 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.
