Review
"A unique frame work to understand the field of career studies." -- The Financial Express 20061010 "It comes as a pleasant breath of realism and common-sense together to pick up Kerr Inkson's book. Understanding Careers plays several roles- helping us to understand metaphors in careers just as Morgan did in organizations, meditating and consolidating a wealth of qualitative organizational and career-related research (chapters have excellent lists of further reading), providing most timely advice on career counseling (good for specialists and an underplayed field), and offering numerous case-studies (of real and plausible people) for students to examine. A thoughtful and topical introduction to its field, bringing together a wide range of related topics and research, clear for students and convincing for people further on )even pragmatic skeptics will get drawn in) and a timely read for all employees." -- Stuart Hannabuss 20070621

This review is from: Understanding Careers: The Metaphors of Working Lives (Paperback)
I bought this book for a career counseling class. It was very informative and useful. There are plenty of illustrations in the book (e.g. tables and figures) to help you understand the concepts (which can be a little difficult). The only problem is that it's all black and white, which is not that fun to read. Other than that it's a good book, and I would recommend it to anyone studying careers, career counseling, or school counseling.
