What is a career script?

The career script serves as a kind of guide that individuals draw upon to make sense of their professional situation and to build their career paths. This guide consists of three components: interpretive frameworks that give shared meaning to individual career actions, resources that both enable and constrain those actions, and norms that legitimize or sanction them. The career script is a conceptual framework for understanding the dual nature of careers. Career scripts are shaped by social structure and transformed by the individuals who engage with them, through a process of mutual and simultaneous influence.

What is a career?

A career is the succession of positions held over the course of a professional life. It results from individual choices driven by the need for both professional and personal development. A career also reflects organizational management practices and, through the internal and external mobility it enables, serves as a key lever in job and skills management. Finally, a career expresses social and normative rules that shape perceptions, guide behavior, and frame management practices. In this sense, a career is a multi-level concept—this is what makes it both rich and complex.
