Correct answer: Throughout a lifetime.
Why: Career planning isn’t a one-time task or limited to a particular life stage. People revisit and revise plans at many transition points (after high school, in college, when changing jobs, when starting a family, during layoffs, approaching retirement, etc.) as interests, skills, market conditions, and life circumstances change.
Quick practical approach (ongoing cycle)
- Self-assess: strengths, values, interests, personality, finances.
- Explore: careers, industries, training and labor-market trends.
- Set short- and long-term goals: make them specific and timebound.
- Act: gain experience (jobs, internships, volunteering), build skills, network, apply.
- Review and adjust: regularly (e.g., yearly or at major life changes).
When to revisit: after major life events, when you feel stuck or unfulfilled, when technology or your field changes, or whenever new opportunities appear.
