research and applies this knowledge to the real world, as well as introducing a
few new practical approaches. Part 1, Theories of Career, looks at twenty-first
century career paths, job satisfaction and career changes – both planned and
unplanned. Part 2, Career Coaching Approaches, looks at coaching strategies that
are applicable to career coaching in particular. Part 3, Coaching into the World of
Work, covers specific real-world situations in which coaching is beneficial, from
job search strategies to CV and interview coaching. Evidence and research is used
throughout to demonstrate the most effective strategies for coaching.
The Career Coaching Handbook provides an essential introduction for students
or practitioners who are interested in developing their own practice, finding new
and improved ways to do things and understanding the theories that underpin
effective career coaching practice.

Preface

There is an impressive history of research on career development and career deci-

sion making, and a wealth of literature that can tell us about the approaches, tools
and techniques that are widely used in coaching. Plenty of self-help books on
career coaching are also available, many full of helpful and practical advice if you
yourself are looking for a career change. But this book is different. This book is
for you if you are a professional, or a trainee career coaching practitioner. It com-
bines the latest evidence from the careers world with up-to-date research from the
coaching literature. It’s intended to help you to be the best career coach that you
can be, but also to understand what goes on behind your interactions. It’s a book
about theory and practice, and how the two interact.
This second edition contains a number of changes, based both on the research
that has been published since the first edition came out, and on the things that
I myself have learnt more about since then. I have introduced a few new practical
approaches such as Acceptance and commitment therapy (Chapter 13), and Ibar-
ra’s model of Provisional Selves (Chapter 6), some more detail on what leads to
a successful career (Chapter 4) and the experiences of older workers (Chapter 6).
I have also added some suggestions for your own professional development in the
last few pages.
This book is divided into three parts. The first section concentrates on the evi-
dence and theories about careers. Chapter 1 asks what exactly is career coaching,
and identifies the particular features that set career coaching apart from other pro-
fessional career support. Chapter 2 looks at career paths in the twenty-first century
and highlights how things have changed over the last fifty years. Chapter 3 covers
the complex issue of how we make career decisions, focusing on both the factors
and processes involved. In Chapter 4 I examine the factors that make us success-
ful at work and in Chapter 5 I summarise the wealth of literature that identifies
what makes us happy at work. Chapters 6 and 7 both focus on interrupted career
paths: in Chapter 6, we look at career changes, what prompts them and how they
happen; in Chapter 7, we look at career changes which are in some way forced on
an individual.
The second part of the book looks more specifically at career coaching inter-
ventions and covers some of the key approaches, tools and techniques that you
x Preface

can use with your clients. The section starts with Chapter 8, which highlights the
kinds of issues that clients bring to career coaching, and the next two chapters
cover two very widely applicable career coaching models: humanistic coaching
(Chapter 9) and the GROW framework (Chapter 10). Chapters 11 to 14 introduce
coaching models: motivational interviewing (Chapter 11), positive approaches
(Chapter 12), cognitive behavioural approaches (Chapter 13) and transactional
analysis (Chapter 14). The final chapter in this section, Chapter 15, highlights
some specific career coaching tools that can help to identify career goals, tools for
reflection and tools that can help to identify next steps.
The third part of the book looks at the nuts and bolts of actually getting a job,
and how coaching can help clients into the world of work. Chapter 16 explains
how coaches can help clients to generate job ideas and find out about the labour
market, Chapter 17 examines the evidence for advice on how to make a job
search effective, and Chapters 18 and 19 discuss the evidence that can help a cli-
ent improve their CV and interview technique. The book ends with a few ideas for
continuing your own professional development.
The book is intended to be a resource for you rather than a narrative. Each
chapter stands alone and you can read the book in whichever order appeals to you
most.
Acknowledgements

I would like to thank all those who have helped me along the way. Every year
I have the great privilege of working with a new cohort of bright, motivated,
hardworking students. Every year I try out the new theories, approaches, ideas and
examples with them and every year they give me feedback, and show me what
works and what is useful, and their stories make the theories come alive for me.
I wouldn’t understand my subject the way I do without them and I can only hope
that they learn from me as I learn from them. My colleagues at NICEC and at City
are a great source of ideas and have introduced me to many new approaches and
helped me to understand the field in more depth, and I sincerely appreciate their
wisdom and intellectual generosity. I had the pleasure of working with a brilliant
intern this summer, and I would like to thank him very much for the amazing job
he did with the references for this book. But above all, my thanks go to my family,
my husband Hugh, and our boys Jack and Ted. You have supported me, listened to
me and made me laugh, and I can’t begin to tell you how much I love you.

Chapter 1

What is career coaching

and how can it help?

What is career coaching?

There are many different sources of professional support you can call on if you
are struggling to make a career choice or work out what to do next. You might
find a careers adviser, a career guidance practitioner, a career counsellor, career
consultant, an employability adviser, a job coach or a career coach, and when you
look more closely you might see that they all claim to be qualified, knowledgeable
and experienced. So what are the differences (if any) between the roles and where
exactly can career coaching fit in?
The most traditional type of career support is that given by a ‘careers adviser’.
Many of us have had experience of careers advice at school or college. Some-
times the careers advice at school might be given by a teacher who has no formal
training but who might know the young people well and understand the processes
needed to apply for university, or to find an apprenticeship. Alternatively, the
careers adviser might be an independent professional, trained at post-graduate
level in career guidance to offer impartial, client-centred career support.
‘Career counselling’ is a term that we often find in the literature about career
practice. This is the standard term used in the United States and since so much
of the research is published there, it is the term that is most widely used. We also
find it in the UK, indicating a particular style of career support that might help
clients to resolve internal conflicts or understand patterns of behaviour. Career
‘consultants’ by contrast have a slightly more commercial brand, and this title
might be chosen by practitioners working as private practitioners although is now
also widely used within university career services.
So where does career coaching fit in, and how does it distinguish itself from the
myriad alternatives? These is no widely accepted definition of career coaching.
Career coaches come in many shapes and forms and have different approaches,
standards and philosophies. Erik de Haan (2008) describes a playing field of
coaching approaches, with quadrants defined on the basis of two continuums:
suggesting to exploring and confronting to supporting. Career coaches can be
found in any of the four quadrants, although in general, coaching practitioners
would tend to resist the suggesting/confronting quadrant. You will need to work

out where you want your practice to sit. This might depend on your client group,
your personal style, the organisation you work for and your experience of what
actually works in practice. I hope that this book will contribute to your under-
standing of the evidence for which types of approaches lead to the most positive
results for clients.
My professional approach, and the one I will advocate in this book, is firmly in
the supporting and exploring quadrant, but with the proviso that challenging – if
done from a position of unconditional positive regard – is an important compo-
nent of effective and ethical career coaching.
In order to crystallise my position, here is the definition that I am working to
in this book:

Career coaching is one or a series of collaborative conversations with a trained

professional who operates within an ethical code. The process is grounded in
evidence-based coaching approaches and career theory and aims to lead to a
positive outcome for the client regarding their career decision, work and/or
personal fulfilment.
(Yates, 2011)

Let me move on now to focus on three elements which, while they are not
exclusive to career coaching, are perhaps more likely to be seen in career coach-
ing conversations than in other types of career support
The first is the evidence in career coaching practice of a wide range of theo-
retical approaches. Perhaps because coaching is a relatively new discipline, the
coaching scholars have taken an eclectic approach to theories, identifying the
most relevant approaches from other disciplines. In this book I will cover cogni-
tive behavioural coaching, adopted from cognitive behavioural therapy; motiva-
tional interviewing, developed from health therapy; appreciative inquiry, adapted
from organisational development; and solution-focused coaching, whose origins
are in family therapy. I will also discuss the more traditional humanistic practice
that is widely seen in career guidance, careers advice and career counselling.
In addition to the approaches represented in this book, there are career coaches
who might adopt an existential, a psychodynamic or a transpersonal approach
to their coaching practice. Of course, not all coaches will use every single one
of these methods, but it is not uncommon for career coaches to have two or
three preferred approaches that they can deploy when most appropriate. To my
mind, it is this versatility which makes our practice much more tailored to our
clients’ specific needs, and this makes us stand out from other groups of career
professionals.
The second element that tends to be more widely seen in career coaching than
in some of the other career professions is the use of tools. In Chapter 15, we will
explore some of the more common techniques used in career coaching, such as
drawing, collage, visualisations and storyboarding, but there are books and web-
sites that can introduce you to many more, and I would also encourage you to
 What is career coaching? 3

develop or adapt your own, based on what seems to work for you and your client
groups.
Finally, career coaching has a positive and solution-focused orientation. Coach-
ing strives to inspire growth and change by focusing on the positive aspects of
human nature. The starting point for coaching is that people want to develop and
thrive, and it focuses on finding solutions, and what is called ‘optimal functioning’
(Grant & Cavanagh, 2007). Coaching is seen as a practice that can benefit all, not
just those who are struggling, and is a mechanism to help people who are already
doing well to do even better.
This positive approach in part determines the clients who choose career coach-
ing over career counselling or other brands, and sets their expectations for their
sessions. Even though the practice might not be so different, clients will to
some degree self-select based on the brand: clients wanting a positive, action-
orientated, future-focused interaction are more likely to choose a career coach
than a career counsellor (Yates, 2011).
Definitions are useful but it is more important to know whether career coach-
ing works. The experiences of hundreds of practitioners and thousands of clients
gives us a resounding ‘yes!’, but if it is hard evidence you want, there are plenty
of relevant empirical studies.

Does career coaching work, and what makes

it effective?
Career coaching is a relatively new discipline. While career guidance has been
producing research since 1909 and coaching since the 1960s, career coaching as
an academic discipline in its own right is only just emerging. There aren’t yet all
that many good quality studies or large amounts of data that relate specifically to
career coaching, but there are plenty of overlaps with other disciplines, and if we
piece all the evidence together, the picture is quite compelling.

Coaching leads to behavioural change

There is a substantial body of research that relates specifically to coaching which
shows that it works and that it has a significant positive impact on behavioural
change. Some of the most convincing evidence comes from meta-analyses, which
are studies that combine the data from a wider range of smaller existing studies.
Meta-analyses within coaching offer some impressive evidence that coaching has
a positive impact on clients’ skills, well-being, resilience, attitudes and perfor-
mance at work (e.g. Burt & Talati, 2017; Jones et al., 2016). Other large-scale
studies have identified what exactly it is about coaching that makes the difference –
the magic ingredients, and the theme that comes up time and again is the
importance of what they call the ‘working alliance’. This is the combination of
a good relationship between the coach and client, a clear and agreed goal for
the sessions, and a shared understanding of the process (de Haan et al., 2016;
4 What is career coaching?

Graßmann et al., 2020) and the evidence seems to suggest that if we can get this
working alliance right, the coaching is very likely to succeed. We will revisit this
in Chapter 9 when we explore humanistic coaching.

Career coaching tools work

On top of the evidence that coaching works, there is also plenty of evidence that
specific approaches help with career development. I have included more examples
in the chapters that follow, but just to give a flavour, there is evidence that Accept-
ance and commitment therapy (discussed in Chapter 13) enhances career security
and career self-efficacy (Kiuru et al., 2021), that motivational interviewing (Chap-
ter 11) increases career motivation (Klonek et al., 2016), and that solution-focused
coaching (Chapter 12) decreases career indecision (Akyol & Bacanli, 2019). One
interesting finding from de Haan et al.’s study (2016) is that although there isn’t
very much evidence that one particular approach or tool is better than another,
there is clear evidence that having a range of tools and techniques at your disposal
definitely helps. It makes sense that being able to pick and choose from a variety
of approaches means that you are more able to tailor your coaching to the particu-
lar needs of your client, and can switch from one to another if one style doesn’t
seem to be working.

Career interventions work

There are numerous studies that demonstrate career interventions are effective.
Whiston et al.’s major meta-analysis (2017) explored the impact of both one-to-
one and group career interventions and gives some strong evidence that they do
work. Overall Whiston and her colleagues found that career interventions result
in increased career decidedness, better vocational identity (i.e. a stronger sense
of who you are within the workplace), higher outcome expectations, and above
all, increased confidence in your ability to make good choices. The study also
showed that one-to-one support from a career practitioner is the most effective
type of intervention, although noted that certain kinds of group sessions (for
example those focused on identifying values and increasing career-related self-
awareness) were highly effective too. Another meta-analysis (Liu et al., 2014)
demonstrates that career interventions substantially raise people’s chances of
getting a job.

Career coaching works

Finally, there is a small but growing body of evidence that looks specifically at
career coaching. Career coaching has been shown to enhance clients’ levels of
career optimism and career security through clarifying their career goals (Ebner,
2021), there is evidence career coaching has a positive impact on women’s con-
fidence (Archer & Yates, 2017), on women’s work life balance (Brown & Yates,
 What is career coaching? 5

2018) and on the job-search behaviours of older workers (Lim et al., 2019; Walker,
2019); and that it can reduce dysfunctional career myths (Otu & Omeje, 2021).
Some studies have also looked at career coaching within organisations, finding
that the career coaching itself improves staff retention (Dugas, 2018) and job sat-
isfaction (Fassiotto et al., 2018) and also that even having a policy that includes
an offer of career coaching is linked to improved institutional satisfaction (Ling
et al., 2018).
More research would be better. For our profession to grow and gain credibility,
there needs to be a solid corpus of empirical research that can tell us exactly how
we need to practise in order to get the best results within our own professional
context. But we are getting there. Career coaching practitioners still need to read
between the lines and extrapolate from research undertaken in a different setting,
but the foundations are in place. In the chapters ahead we will explore a range of
evidence-based approaches that have a solid foundation of research underpinning
them, and you will be able to judge for yourself which you feel will be most appli-
cable to your own situation.

Contemporary notions
of ‘career’

The word ‘career’ will come up hundreds of times in this book. It can mean a
variety of things to different people and given the range of interpretations, impli-
cations and inferences that can be associated with the word, it is useful to begin
by unpicking some of the key concepts.
Perhaps surprisingly, the world of career practitioners has thus far failed to
reach an agreed definition of the term. ‘Career’, ‘occupation’ and ‘vocation’
are sometimes used as synonyms and at other times as quite distinct concepts.
A career could cover just the time from first job to final job, or could incorporate
the pre-occupation and post-occupation eras. It might also refer only to paid work,
or may also encompass unpaid or voluntary employment or even work experi-
ence. Some feel that a career incorporates a notion of progress and advancement,
or perhaps confers a degree of prestige. It has been argued that the term has an
innate middle-class bias, since it implies that there has been an active choice,
as opposed to an almost predetermined destiny which is more often associated
with less-privileged career trajectories. More recently, there has been an accept-
ance that a career is a subjective construct, rather than an objective reality – the
idea being that if you think it is a career, then it is a career. Definitions have also
become broader. Arthur et al. (1989) suggested a straightforward definition, sug-
gesting that ‘career’ is the ‘evolving sequence of a person’s work experiences over
time’. I like the all-encompassing and non-judgemental ethos of this definition,
and their simple explanation that ‘everyone who works has a career’ (1989, p. 9).
Delving deeper, we are now going to explore some of the different ways that we
conceptualise the notion of ‘career’, using a series of metaphors that are commonly
used to account for careers, and will touch on some of the career theories that relate
to each metaphor. In the second part of the chapter we will move on to look at the
labour market, highlighting some of the key drivers for change and examining
some career theories that were developed to describe contemporary career paths.

How we understand ‘career’

Career theories are developed by academics to help us make sense of peo-
ple’s experiences and dozens have been developed over the last few decades.

10 Theories of career

The theories come from a wide range of academic disciplines and are sparked off by
different stimuli. Some theories focus on the content of careers and career deci-
sions, and others look at processes; some are heavily influenced by psychological
theories of the individual while the philosophical origins of others are more socio-
logical. The theories do not try to explain every element of the career process, and
aren’t intended to be applied to every person in every context. In one way, this
piecemeal approach is quite helpful to us as learners in that the theories do not
contradict each other: we don’t need to choose which one we want to believe. On
the other hand it makes our jobs much more difficult in that it is quite a challenge
to keep all the different theoretical approaches in our heads at once, and to know
how and when to use them to help us understand our clients better.
One helpful framework is that devised by Inkson (2004) who looked at the
range of metaphors that the theories use to explain how they conceptualise the
notion of career. The categories below are for the most part Inkson’s, but I have
updated the examples to include more recent career theories and concepts and
added a final metaphor to incorporate a wave of theories that acknowledge the
role of chance.

1. Legacy metaphor: career as inheritance

These approaches are grounded in sociological thinking and hold that our career
paths are (at least to some degree) inevitable, being a product of our family and
upbringing, our genes, our geographical location or demographic factors such as
our gender or ethnicity. Ken Roberts’s work on ‘opportunity structures’ highlights
the way that our aspirations are limited by the opportunities we see around us
(2009), and Bill Law’s early theory on community interaction explores the way
that our understanding of the world of work is determined by the communities
we grow up in (Law, 1981). Even some of the more psychological theories which
appreciate the role of self-determinism, such as Gottfredson’s (2002) theory
of circumscription and compromise, acknowledge the career inheritances with
which we are born. One recent strand of research has explored the idea of work as
a calling or a vocation (Duffy et al., 2018), highlighting the sense of an external
pull that some people feel towards a particular role or industry.

2. Craft metaphor: career as construction

This metaphor incorporates many of the key psychological theories that empha-
sise the agency of individuals and the role that they can play in determining their
career paths. This metaphor encompasses the self-creation of career and the idea
of career as part of an identity that helps to create a sense of self. The notion of
‘craft’ marries the ideas of functionality and creativity. Career models that apply
this construction metaphor include Super’s life-span, life-space model (1996),
Savickas’s (2002) notion of career construction and the social constructivist
theories such as the socio-cognitive career choice theory of Lent et al. (2002).
 Contemporary notions of ‘career’ 11

Savickas et al. (2009) have taken the idea of construction further in recent years
and introduce what they term as a new ‘paradigm’, or way of understanding career
paths, describing career choice as a process of ‘Life Design’, in which boundaries
between life and work are blurred, and people make decisions based on a more
holistic view of themselves and their futures.

3. Seasons metaphor: career as cycle

This series of theories assumes that the processes of career planning and develop-
ment are different at different stages in your life. It includes traditional theories
such as Super’s (1957) developmental theory and Levinson et al.’s (1978) age
and stage theories. More recent theories, such as Mainiero and Sullivan’s (2005)
kaleidoscope model, focus on the idea of gender and the varied motivators that
drive men and women at specific stages of their careers. Boyatzis and Kolb (2000)
conceptualise the cycle as a series of cycles, each building on the last. These theo-
ries have, however, been widely criticised for being too inflexible and invoking
unhelpful stereotypes (e.g. Paul & Townsend, 1993).

4. Matching metaphor: career as ‘fit’

This has been the dominant paradigm in careers for the last fifty years, since Hol-
land came up with his RIASEC inventory of career interests (see Holland, 1997
for a more recent exploration of the theory). The metaphor can be explained by
the idea of matching square pegs with square holes – finding people whose skills
and interests match the needs and content of a job. It has also been promoted
by Dawis and Loftquist’s (1984) theory of work adjustment and Dawis’s (2002)
concept of person–environment fit. This theory has great intuitive appeal, and in
addition is popular with those controlling the budgets for careers services because
it appears to lend itself to a quick fix. Matching theories such as Holland’s have
spawned myriad computer programs that link people’s interests, skills and values
to appropriate job titles and (in theory) identify suitable occupations. But there are
significant problems with this approach (developed in more detail in Chapter 3)
in that it is hard to know what individual and job characteristics we should be
measuring. In addition, it is a static theory applied to a dynamic and fast-moving
workplace, and in any case, our best estimate is that a good person–environment
fit accounts for only around 5% of job satisfaction (Spokane et al., 2000).

5. Path metaphor: career as journey

This is perhaps the most common of the career metaphors, and it incorporates the
twin notions of movement between place and time. A range of different theories
conceptualise the movement in different ways. The traditional notion of a ‘career
ladder’ implies a journey upwards, climbing promotion by promotion to a more
senior, better-paid role with more responsibility. Driver (1984) describes career
12 Theories of career

journeys as being either ‘linear’ or ‘spiral’, and implicit in the boundaryless career
(Arthur & Rousseau, 1996, examined in more detail later) is the notion of a jour-
ney that is no longer limited to a particular route.
This metaphor, perhaps more than any other, has crept into common usage
whenever we talk about careers: think about the notion of a career path, reach-
ing a crossroads in your career, taking a step backwards, or finding yourself in a
dead-end job.

6. Network metaphor: career as encounters and

relationships
Careers are not pursued in isolation. The network metaphor explores ideas of
career as a social or political institution. The prevalence of networking as a way
to get and keep a job, or to generate business highlights the importance of rela-
tionships, and a relatively recent wave of relational career decision-making theo-
ries (Amundson et al., 2010; Blustein, 2001) are acknowledging the pivotal and
inevitable role that others have in our career choices. There has been an enormous
volume of work on work–family conflict, and theories (such as Hakim, 2006)
demonstrate the importance of family life in career decisions.

7. Theatre metaphor: career as role

The organisation can be viewed as your stage with you as the central character
of a play, taking on different roles as you move through the story. Notions of role
models (e.g. Gibson, 2004) help us to better understand how to play the part, and
psychological contracts as they are negotiated and re-negotiated (e.g. Rousseau,
1995) allow the nature of the role to be clarified and to evolve. Role theory leads us
to understand concepts of role conflict and role congruity (Eagly & Karau, 2002),
and Gioia and Poole’s (1984) idea of career scripts is based on the notion of a
developing and deepening understanding of a role. There has been a focus in the
recent literature on the idea of identities, highlighting that each of us has different
versions of ourselves which come to the fore in different contexts. We might have a
career identity which incorporates all aspects of our whole working lives, an occu-
pational identity which has the job itself at its heart, and an organisational identity
which defines us in terms of the company we work for. Other research on possible
and provisional selves (Ibarra, 2005; Strauss et al., 2012) shows us how we play
with the idea of different future roles, and ‘try them out’ to see how they feel, as
a way to make our career decisions. Identity can be a very useful thing to discuss
with clients and we will explore this in a little more depth in the next chapter.

8. Economic metaphor: career as resource

Originally a metaphor conceptualised from the perspective of the employer, this met-
aphor is best known in the term ‘human resources’. Within the career development
 Contemporary notions of ‘career’ 13

arena, the concept is encapsulated in the notion of ‘career capital’ (e.g. Inkson &
Arthur, 2001), which looks at a career in terms of a bank of resources that you build
up with every new experience encountered. The Intelligent Career Model (Arthur
et al., 1995) suggests that individuals build up career capital through developing
three kinds of knowledge: knowing-why – having a clear sense of identity and
strong motivation; knowing-how – building up the knowledge, skills and expertise
to do a job well; and knowing-whom – having a strong network of people to help
support your career development in different ways.

9. Narrative metaphor: career as story

The value of career stories is grounded in the post-modern concept of multiple
truths, which holds that there is no definitive ‘truth’ about someone’s career his-
tory. A single career history can be told from multiple different perspectives and
the same incident can have quite different meanings depending on who sees it and
their own take on it. Working with clients and getting them to tell their stories
can be a great way to help them to focus on what is meaningful for them, and
to help them to reflect productively on their history (Rossier et al., 2020). The
career story is important because it shows how individuals experience and value
their own reality. Our stories about our careers are full of inconsistencies and they
change between tellings, but this illustrates the complexities of our careers and
our responses to them, and also serves as exploration of how these stories can
reveal a great deal about our current situations. Savickas (1989) has developed
the ‘Career Style Interview’, which offers a framework for practitioners to use in
order to help clients explore their own stories and make their own meanings from
their experiences. Other researchers have also made use of this metaphor. Osland
(1995), for example, makes links between career ‘archetypes’, such as individual
journeying and heroism, and ancient mythology. Nicholson and West (1988) even
go so far as to suggest that careers are myths, ‘fictions about the past to help us
feel good about the future’ (1988, p. 94).

10. Serendipity metaphor: career as a series

of chance events
This final metaphor is one that I have added to Inkson’s list, to incorporate a num-
ber of theories which focus on the role of luck or chance in career planning. Luck
plays a part in many career paths, and a number of theories put chance events at
their core. One of the most widely recognised is Mitchell et al.’s theory of planned
happenstance (1999) which encourages people to look for lucky opportunities
and be ready to capitalise on fortunate coincidences. Two approaches apply chaos
theory to careers, both focusing on the unexpected knock-on effects of particular
events (Bloch, 2005; Bright & Pryor, 2011) and Gelatt and Gelatt (2003) intro-
duce the idea of positive uncertainty which aims to reframe the uncertainties of
the future in a more positive light, encouraging people to embrace the inevitability
14 Theories of career

of the future and find ways to turn it to their advantage by making more creative
decisions.
The construct of ‘career’ is clearly complicated, and compounding the chal-
lenges of negotiating these different definitions and conceptualisations of career
is the rapidly changing nature of the labour market. The opportunities and expec-
tations within our contemporary working lives are in many ways quite different
from those of our parents and grandparents and we will now move on to explore
some of the main drivers for change in the current labour market.

Changes in the labour market

The labour market has been transformed in recent years and the pace of change
shows no sign of letting up. It is perhaps unwise to try to predict the changes
we will encounter in the next decades, but the International Labour Organisation
(ILO) has identified four drivers for change, which will be useful to understand.

1 Globalisation. With the increase in low-cost international flights and the ease
of international electronic communication, ever more organisations are trad-
ing globally and basing parts of their business in other countries. In many
sectors, it has become commonplace to travel extensively, and spending some
time within your career in another country is not unusual in (for example)
the financial or clothing production sectors. Perhaps surprisingly, with glo-
balisation has not come an increased requirement for languages: English is
now so prevalent as the business lingua franca that the need to be able to
communicate in other languages is decreasing as globalisation becomes more
established.
2 Technology. Technology has had an impact on many areas of work, and looks
certain to continue to influence the way we live and work in ways that we
can’t yet even imagine. Technology has already changed the way that most of
us do our jobs – for some, beyond all recognition. The rise of technology has
resulted in the dramatic reduction in many routine jobs, roles in which there
are cognitive tasks that need to be performed with accuracy and speed. These
have tended to be jobs at the semi-skilled level, such as a lay pattern designer
or a typist. The result has been a labour market that is tending towards an
hourglass shape, with a growing number of roles available in low-level and
high-level jobs, but fewer opportunities in the middle, for semi-skilled roles.
This is having a knock-on effect on social mobility in the workplace because
there is a corresponding dearth of opportunities for workers in low-level jobs
to move upwards, and an impact on organisations since there is a limited pool
of mid-level workers from which to select potential higher level staff. The
effects of technology aren’t always quite what we anticipate, and the claims
that automation and artificial intelligence will lead to widespread redundan-
cies and unemployment are arguably overstated. Technology is changing the
landscape of the world of work, and impacting the types of roles and the skills
 Contemporary notions of ‘career’ 15

that we all need, but there is limited evidence that it will lead to an overall
reduction in jobs. One example to support this comes from a piece of research
conducted in France, which looked at the overall impact of the internet on the
labour market, estimating that the internet has destroyed 500,000 jobs, but
has created 1.2 million new jobs (Atkinson & Wu, 2017).
3 Demographic changes. An increasing number of young people are entering
the jobs market. These new entrants are often highly qualified as the pro-
portion of young people staying in education for longer goes up, but there
are not always the job opportunities to match, in terms of both the overall
number of jobs and the quality of the work available. Young people are more
likely to be unemployed and those in paid work are more likely to be under-
employed and working in poor conditions than their older counterparts. Part
of the problem is that older workers are now staying in their jobs for longer.
People are living longer and healthier lives, legislation in the UK has meant
that people are not forced to retire at a particular age, and the pensions crisis
means that older people cannot always afford to retire even if they want to;
and with fewer older workers retiring, there are fewer vacancies created for
young people to join the workforce. One other demographic factor which has
an impact on the labour market is migration. Migration decisions are com-
plex, involving a combination of push factors (reasons to leave the country of
origin) which might include economic and political factors, and pull factors
(reasons to move to another country) which might include the expectation
of opportunities and security. The movement of people from one country to
another has a knock-on impact on the supply of workers and skills in both
countries.
4 Changes in work organisation. Changing expectations of workers and cus-
tomers have influenced the way that organisations design their structures and
systems. Work organisation changes are thought to be driven by four key
factors:
i) the need for organisations to be more flexible and better able to respond
to customer demands, changing tack and moving from one focus to
another as the need arises;
ii) as management hierarchies become flatter, there is an increased need for
workers to be self-directed and to have more autonomy;
iii) customers are becoming more demanding and organisations are shifting
away from a one-size-fits-all model to accommodate the needs of indi-
vidual customers;
iv) the shift to a knowledge economy means that organisations need to
have systems that allow the easy flow of knowledge and allow for re-
organisation of structures as new information arises (Martin & Healy,
2009). These changes have led to an increased emphasis on teamwork,
a culture of continual reorganisation and restructuring, blurred bounda-
ries between roles, tasks and teams, increased horizontal and vertical
16 Theories of career

information sharing, and more flexible working, including the rise of

zero hours contracts. The value of an agile workforce is exemplified by
the rise of the gig economy. This term refers to a growing trend to hire
workers for specific and limited engagements. It includes contractors,
freelancers and those working for platform-based organisations such as
Airbnb, Deliveroo and Uber. Some gig workers make a deliberate deci-
sion to choose this kind of work, enjoying the flexibility and relative
autonomy of the roles, but others end up working in this way through
necessity, and can suffer from the lack of stability and security and the
absence of the benefits that a more conventional employer would offer,
such as sick pay, pensions and maternity leave.
5 Transition to a low-carbon economy. The full impact of this transition will
not be felt for some years but it will have a significant impact on particu-
lar sectors including renewable energy, transport, buildings and waste man-
agement. This shift seems likely to cause a problematic skills mismatch as
existing expertise becomes redundant and new expertise is not yet widely
available. The ILO has quantified this shift with some eye-watering figures,
predicting that by 2030, globally, the shift to a greener economy will lead to
a net increase of 7 million jobs, through destroying 71 million jobs and creat-
ing 78 million new jobs, and they note that the bulk of the new jobs will be in
highly skilled occupations. The ILO stresses that this shift can only happen
successfully if people are given the right training and warns that progress in
this regard needs to speed up.

Contemporary issues
The contemporary world of work is often described as VUCA – volatile, uncer-
tain, complex and ambiguous. The term was originally coined by the United
States Army to describe the post-Cold War world, but it has been adopted within
business environments to explain the challenging context in which we all work
and to help organisations plan more effectively for the future. These four concepts
certainly make their presence felt in the current labour market, and clearly con-
tribute to making it a difficult context in which to plan future career paths. But we
should be a bit wary of making too much of this. The economy is indeed volatile,
uncertain, complex and ambiguous, but whether it is any more so now than at
other times in the past is a moot point. The world has been plagued by wars, dis-
ease, the rise and fall of empires, the creation and demolition of industries, and
revolutions, political, industrial and economic, over the centuries, all of which
have led to enormous change and turmoil, and which suggest that perhaps VUCA
characteristics have always defined labour markets.
One other assumption to question is the widely vaunted notion that a job for life
is a thing of the past. It is a common misconception that several decades ago, work-
ers were more or less guaranteed a job for as long as they wanted one, joining an
 Contemporary notions of ‘career’ 17

organisation at the bottom straight from school and then working their way up as far
as they could go. This is thought to have been the norm for most, and job changes
are thought to have been rare. Today, it is assumed that jobs are much more fluid,
with frequent changes being both more common and considered more desirable
than they were previously – an idea explored in more detail in Arthur and Rousseau’s
‘boundaryless career’ model (1996), which we look at later in the chapter.
In fact, neither job turnover within the labour market – nor our attitudes
about it – have changed so much in the last fifty years. The evidence suggests
that, broadly, job security has been pretty stable for the last fifty years, and that
although there have been changes over the last generation, the figures ‘do not
support the view that the dramatic changes in the labour market, technology and
competition have spelt the end of “jobs for life” ’ (Burgess & Rees, 1996, p. 334).
Recent figures even show that job tenure (i.e. the average number of years people
have spent in a particular job) has increased slightly over the last twenty years
(OECD, 2020). There have been changes in the number of redundancies annually
in the work force, but these have followed economic cycles. Job tenure tends to
increase as the economic growth slows down, since people are more likely to hang
on to their jobs in a time of economic uncertainty, but as the economy picks up
and workers feel more confident about available opportunities, they tend to move
jobs more frequently (Burgess & Rees, 1996).
One term which we are increasingly finding in both literature and policy is
decent work. Decent work concerns the quality of work and describes a minimum
acceptable standard, below which no one in any society should have to fall. It is
core to Duffy et al.’s psychology of working theory (Duffy et al., 2016), which
focuses on the human needs that work fulfils and proposes that people are moti-
vated to work to give them financial security, social connection and a sense of
control over their own lives. In policy terms, the ILO describes decent work as a
fundamental human right and has placed it at the heart of their commitment to fair
globalisation and poverty reduction. Decent work has five elements:

(i) physically and interpersonally safe working conditions (i.e. no physical,

mental or emotional abuse),
(ii) hours that allow for free time and adequate rest,
(iii) organisational values that complement family and social values,
(iv) adequate pay,
(v) access to adequate health care.
(Duffy et al., 2016)

The presence of these five elements has been found to link with higher levels of
mental health, life well-being and work satisfaction (Duffy et al., 2016, 2019).
Sadly, the increased interest in the idea of decent work has been prompted by a
decrease in the number of people who can claim to be in decent jobs, as a result of
increasingly unequal societies, automation and a rise in precarious labour, such as
zero hours contracts and the gig economy.
