The Squiggly Career
by Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis
Two British career coaches argue that careers are no longer ladders but squiggles, and offer exercises on five skills: super strengths, values, confidence, networks and future possibilities. It is workbook-like, practical and modern about portfolio careers and sideways moves.
