キャリアの挫折の後、私たちは間違った問いを立てているのか？ | Margaret Weniger | TEDxAtlanta

解雇や予期しないキャリアの転換といった挫折は、個人の失敗と見なされがちです。しかし、キャリアの中断は多くの人が想像するよりも一般的です。ジョージア工科大学CREATE-Xでスタートアップ・ローンチのディレクターを務め、著書『Broken』の著者でもあるマーガレット・ウェニガーは、12年間の技術営業のキャリアの後に何度も解雇や一時解雇を経験した自身の体験を語ります。数百件の専門職へのインタビューをもとに、成功したキャリアは予測可能な道筋をたどるという考えに疑問を投げかけています。

• キャリアの中断が想像以上に一般的である理由
• 数百件の専門職へのインタビューに基づく研究
• 予測可能なキャリアパスという考えへの問い直し

You worked hard. Followed the advice. Then your career took a turn you never planned. Margaret Weniger went looking for what she’d done wrong. Hundreds of interviews later, she began to question the question itself. Margaret Weniger is challenging one of our most persistent ideas about work: that a successful career follows a predictable path. After 12 years climbing the technology sales ladder, Margaret began studying what happens when carefully made career plans collide with layoffs, changing priorities and unexpected turns. Her research with professionals revealed that career disruption was far less unusual than we’ve been taught to believe. Her own experience gave the question particular urgency: Behind a résumé that looked successful, Margaret had been fired and laid off multiple times. Today, Margaret is director of Startup Launch at Georgia Tech’s CREATE-X, where she helps founders navigate uncertainty and build companies. She is also the author of “Broken: Designing Careers in a Flawed and Outdated System.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
