The Career Opportunities Model

Let’s take a look at the model (figure 1) and see how you can use it to propel your career forward. The model comprises five sections hinged by arrows that depict connection and movement. Overall, the model emphasizes fluidity. First, note how the sections of the model interrelate with one another. You’ll find that this “model reality” actually does reflect your experiences in the field. Next, look at the arrows. Some are single-tipped and identify how the contents of one section flow into and affect another section. Other arrows are double-headed to depict the fluid movement among opportunities within that section.
