  9. Transitions Arnold (1997) ‘An event or non-event resulting in a change of assumption about oneself and the world, thus requiring corresponding changes in one’s behaviour and relationships” Parkes (1971) - psychosocial transition • Only a transition if so defined by the person experiencing it To understand meaning we need to examine: • Anticipated v unanticipated v non-event • Perspective • Context • Impact

  10. How are careers like this guy?

  11. Career Adaptability • The capability of an individual to make a series of successful transitions where the labour market, organisation of work and underlying occupational and organisational knowledge bases may be subject to considerable change (Bimrose et al., 2011) • ...individual’s readiness and resources for coping with current and anticipated tasks, transitions, traumas in their occupational roles that, to some degree large or small, alter their social integration (Savickas and Porfeli, 2010: 3-4).

  12. What’s the moral of this?

  13. Career Decision Making Style Bimroseet al. (2008)

  14. Control Decisive, self discipline + regulation, upbeat, negotiate STRATEGIC – I don’t think anyone has influence over me... I can still try and get more experience, more qualifications and more of everything... ASPIRATIONAL –‘there’s lots of choice out there, I just don’t think it applies to me. I’m kind of like stuck on this path because I want to be there’ EVALUATIVE –’trying to see around corners’. Procrastination? OPPORTUNISTIC –I am decisive but I am very unpredictable, I think that’s the way. I need to kind of go yes, I will go for it. I don’t really go…oh no…..I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing.

  15. Curiosity Inquisitive, explore, seek info., experiment, future, reflect STRATEGIC - So that was the only careers activities that I did because I was quite confident starting so I really didn’t bother to do anything else ASPIRATIONAL– ‘freaking out’ – very limited EVALUATIVE– Very limited, thinking too much OPPORTUNISTIC– Why? Sure it will happen anyway!

  16. Confidence • Self efficacy, overcoming obstacles/problem solving, learn new skills, SE coping with transition • STRATEGIC – Absolutely! • ASPIRATIONAL – fate • EVALUATIVE – yes ...seems to improve for interview 2 • OPPORTUNISTIC – yes someso much for one - issues around feeling young, not ready...

  17. Transitions • Turning points (Levinson, 1986; Hodkinson and Sparkes, 1997) • Opportunity for growth and transformation • Letting go of self, learning new roles (Schlossberg and Goodman, 2012) • River and raft metaphor – chaotic power beyond our control v adventure requiring readiness and vigilance • Contextual – meanings are personally constructed out of experience

  18. Where’s your role?

  19. Someone else will do it for me

  20. If I continue to sit in the car
