This book investigates how people encounter, experience and shape
their careers. Both the concept and the reality of a career is
changing as organisations respond to globalisation and market
forces. This impact is reflected in the internal labour market and
hence career journeys of individuals. How people think about their
career and career choices is more diverse than ever before due not
only to environmental transformations but also to variations in the
workforce, consisting now of five generations. With each new
generation, there is little argument that contemplating career
choices, seeking and promoting work opportunities as well as hiring
relationships are now markedly different and less certain than
previously. People have now and increasingly a greater choice over
when, where, how to work and for how long. This book will provide
learning for those people early in their careers as well as those
in mid to later career, looking to develop or enrich their careers
in some way. Understanding how work functions in people's lives;
the personal and family costs incurred in maintaining and exiting a
career, and how and why remaining or leaving a career is successful
or not, is highly relevant. The need for career support, derived
from personal, professional and organisational connections plays an
important role in career choice, career transition, and career
opportunities. Creativity and other 21st century skills, the vital
dimensions of career development, is also discussed in this book.
