| Description | This chapter provides important dimensions of career that it asserts will be useful in considering a reflexive exploration of one's career. It aims to challenge the simplistic, agented and apolitical notions of employability that are found in many educational institutions. The chapter argues that employability tends not to take into account how aspects of society can influence a person's career, which also embraces a simplistic notion of career equating work. It therefore opens up the notion of duality and how this can be utilised to consider career so as to be aware that career is a social pursuit involving others-in-the-world, where class, gender and ethnicity interrelate with the opportunity structure and where individuals still have a sense of agency. The chapter acknowledges that careers are lived experiences that involve transitions where one is to question the paradoxical relationship between being and becoming.
