is about the human process of development driven by adaptation to a social environment where the individual seeks to achieve person-environment fit. In other words, it is about the process of designing your career to a degree that you can integrate it into your social role over time. 

 A person’s adaptability is at any point in a varying state of activation. Adaptation, or goodness of fit, between you and your work role, is indicated by success, satisfaction and development. 

 Career adapting is about mastering vocational development by coping with transitions through the willingness to manage career transitions. It is about you accommodating this transition by changing self, context, or both, and the process may involve a resource building process.
