===Short-term careers===
When individuals take on a short-term or temporary work, these are ''transitory careers'' and ''spiral careers''. ''Transitory careers'' occur when a person undergoes frequent job changes, in which each task is not similar to the preceding one. For example, a fast-food worker who leaves the food industry after a year to work as an entry-level bookkeeper or an administrative assistant in an office setting is a Transitory Career change.<ref name="Cooper 1988 pp245–277" /> The worker's skills and knowledge of their previous job role will not be relevant to their new role.

A ''spiral career'' is any series of short term jobs that are non-identical to one another, but still contribute to skill-building of a specific attribute that individuals will accept over their lifetime.<ref name="Cooper 1988 pp245–277" />
