| Abstract | The concept of "career" has long been investigated in the social sciences. It has been described as being in relationship with identity and providing a residual trace of the individual's relationship with work. A constructionist approach to research enables a focus on the language of career-talk as an opaque phenomenon. The analysis of 54 interviews with university graduates employed by one large, UK based, high street retailer provides an illustration of how common sense understandings surrounding career work as a backdrop to individual accounts. Career as a strategic plan is denied, yet negotiated as a legitimate, even desirable, behaviour of the employing organization. Although the focus of analysis is on the tools and practices of interaction, situated at a micro level, this analysis illustrates how specific constructive practices make macro notions of career relevant and up for re-negotiation in interaction. This adds to understanding of career in terms of highlighting its fluid and contestable properties on which, in growing awareness of the constructed nature of the term "career," individuals draw in their accounts of themselves as people who work.
