Contrary to popular wisdom, career transition is not a straight path toward some predetermined identity, but a crooked journey along which we try on the "possible selves" we might become.
Through engrossing stories and in-depth research on transition, the author outlines an active process of career reinvention that leverages three ways of "working identity": experimenting with new professional activities, interacting in new social networks, and making sense of what is happening in light of emerging possibilities.
