摘要

Career decision-making models, devised to help career decision-makers to make better choices, are not well-used in practice in higher education (HE), perhaps because they are too far removed from natural decision-making approaches. This study examines the career decision-making processes of 30 employed recent UK graduates. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed with a reflexive thematic analysis. The findings identified three processes: generating an idea, exploring in-depth, and choosing. The discussion identifies differences between this model and existing prescriptive models: ideas are identified and analyzed singly, self-exploration takes place after idea generation, and chance plays a significant part throughout.
