Sheppard · Answer 1

Maria is in at the exploration stage of the career development cycle.

Explanation:

The exploration career stage is the first stage before employment where the individual just graduated college and ready to join the work environment. The individual also narrows down their preferences influenced by parents, friends and teachers to get a right career path.

There is also a tendency to have expectations that may be unrealistic, creating fantasies about the place of employment, work or work environment before being employed. For most people, the exploration stage is at mid-twenties while for some it might come late or earlier.
