Discussion Board – Concept Development: Starting a Career

Discuss how to begin and subsequently develop and grow your career based on the terminology listed on pages 146-148 (in these three photos) of our textbook under “Concept Development: The Front-End Process.” Keep in mind that you are the product being developed and ultimately marketed to the labor market, and your employer is the customer paying for your services. How do you need to be viewed by your potential customer (your concept) to get and keep your ideal job? What reputation do you need to succeed (your positioning) versus your competition? How will you nourish your career to grow and develop into the person you want to be during the course of your professional lifetime? There are ten (10) boldfaced, italicized terms in this section: apply each of them to your analysis.

Please do this assignment by yourself. Thanks.
