“…The CTC has been a conceptual stimulus for ongoing research into the role of chance in career development (e.g. Bornat, Henry, & Raghuram, 2011; Bright & Pryor, 2012a; Bright, Pryor, & Harpham, 2005; Bright, Pryor, Chan, & Rijanto, 2009; Hirschi, 2010). These studies provide empirical support for the ubiquity of chance events in careers.…”

The developments in the Chaos Theory of Careers (CTC) are outlined for the last decade since the publication of the original formulation in this journal in 2003 (Pryor & Bright, 2003a). The history of the development of the CTC and the major theoretical constructs of the theory including context, complexity, change, chance, attractors, emergent patterns and fractals are described. The empirical evidence directly relevant to the CTC formulation and its efficacy as a counselling approach are reviewed. Practical tools to use with a CTC approach such as assessments, card sorts and counselling strategies are described. The impact of the CTC approach on practice and theory is discussed. Future applications of the CTC related to adaptability and cultural diversity are highlighted. It is concluded that the CTC provides the most coherent and comprehensive current account of career development behaviour that can incorporate both modernist and post-modernist perspectives. The last decade has demonstrated the theoretical and practical value of the CTC, but there remains enormous untapped potential to explore in the next decade.

“…28 Comparing two different data sets has produced its own richness, revealing hidden links in the experiences of both groups 29 and providing evidence on the ways in which opportunity may be fashioned and created under conditions of adversity and perversity. 30 The oral history interviews have been supplemented by archival research. The archives of the Department of Health, the British Geriatric Society (BGS), British Medical Association, Royal College of Physicians, Royal Society of Medicine, and the papers of organizations such as the Overseas Doctors Association have all been consulted to understand the issues facing doctors working in the specialty in the second half of the twentieth century.…”

“…While the rules of the game in given positions and/or fields are not necessarily more favourable to migrants per se, the rules in some cases may dissuade other players from seeking such positions. For example, in healthcare, many skilled migrants choose to work in specialties perceived as difficult (and hence disliked) by host nation citizens (Al Ariss et al, 2013;Bornat, Henry & Raghuram, 2011;Robinson & Carey, 2000). A variant of this strategy is choosing fields where migrants face fewer rules to devalue their capitals.…”

HRM and Migration scholars increasingly employ Bourdieu's concepts of capitals, fields and habitus to explain the interrelationships between migrant careers and context. Both literatures employ a Bourdieusean framework to examine devaluation of migrant capitals in host nations and migrant responses to such devaluation. However, their explanations are based on different assumptions of context. HRM literature regards migrants as confined to the host nation context, whereas Migration literature places them in a transnational context, spanning both originating and host nations. In this conceptual paper, we argue for integrating transnational perspectives into HRM literature to offer a more accurate portrayal of contemporary migrant lives, and to capture greater nuance in migrant career experiences. We seek to expand the conceptual lexicon to support new conceptualisations of transnational context, and to explore how locating a Bourdieusean framework in transnational contexts enhances its ability to explain migrant career experiences.
