This book is about how people construct career stories: the stories
we use to make sense of our work life. Mark Scillio explores the
idea of security in the current turbulent employment climate,
investigating employment experiences in developed, wealthy
countries like Australia, the United States, and the United
Kingdom-where careers have become fragmented, complex, and
uncertain. Using Anthony Giddens' notion of ontological security,
Scillio develops a concept of career security that goes beyond
economic and financial concerns and encompasses the personal and
social meaning of work. The ramifications of succeeding (or
failing) to forge a good career narrative are explored through a
series of detailed case studies.
