The motivation for this study is to uncover career-related issues that high-skilled female immigrants face and their strategies for rebuilding their careers upon migration to a new land.To explore this topic, we performed in-depth interviews with 14 Turkish female immigrants in the U.S. who have successfully rebuilt their careers from scratch upon migration. Content analysis of in-depth interviews with key informants on the subject revealed five theoretical themes that captured the career experiences of these individuals: non-linear career entry, career-orientation, immigrant spirit, social support network, and socialization patterns at work.Integrating these findings with theories on adult learning, we developed a series of theoretical propositions for an experiential learning model of career reconstruction among high-skilled immigrants.3
