The New Career Contract: Developing the Whole Person at Midlife and Beyond.
Hall, Douglas T.; Mirvis, Philip H.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v47 n3 p269-89 Dec 1995

The contemporary work environment demands the metaskills of identity development and heightened adaptability. Career stages now involve cycles of continuous learning rather than retraining, a way to tap the potential of older workers. (SK)
