The Career is Dead - Long Live the Career (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1996), the emphasis centers around the idea that the traditional career is dead, but the idea of a career as a series of lifelong work experiences will never die. A relational approach to careers, based on the interdependence between individuals, will be at the foundation of future careers.
