Review

'Comprised of fifteen erudite articles organized into three major sections, Handbook of Research Methods in Careers must be considered an unreservedly recommended and core addition to personal, professional, corporate, college and university library Human Resources & Personnel Management reference collections and supplemental studies curriculums.' -- James A Cox, Midwest Book Review'The Handbook of Research Methods in Careers is a marvel! Editors Wendy Murphy and Jennifer Tosti-Kharas have cleverly organized insights from leading scholars in the careers field to provide a road-map for conducting meaningful research. Each chapter highlights key research issues ranging from how to conduct in-depth interviews to text mining to measuring career constructs. This first-of-its-kind Handbook offers actionable advice on how to avoid errors, details best practices, and discusses innovations in studying careers. The Handbook of Research Methods in Careers is a thought-provoking volume that new and experienced scholars will return to again and again for its comprehensive coverage and realistic recommendations on how to conduct high-quality research.' -- Sherry E. Sullivan, Bowling Green State University, US'The careers field encompasses a broad scholarly territory, spanning many disciplines in the social sciences. The methodologies employed in this literature cover a correspondingly broad landscape, from large-scale multi-country surveys to the closely-analyzed accounts of individual narratives and using techniques both quantitative and qualitative, cross-sectional and longitudinal. This book will be a valuable resource for careers scholars. It tells stories about doing career research, it instructs the reader in a wide range of career research methodologies, and it encourages researchers both recently-arrived in the field and long-established to try approaches that are new to them. Like all good accounts, its authors talk about both their successes and their failures, providing wonderful examples of research from which we can all learn. The careers field has been waiting for a book about research methods for a long time, so it is good to see that it has at last arrived.' -- Hugh Gunz, University of Toronto, Canada
