Abstract
This article continues the story of graduates’ early career development which the authors began in the Vol. 18 No. 3 issue of Personnel Review. In recounting graduates’ early career experience in four departments of a multinational company, the authors reflect on such issues as: person‐environment fit and its consequences, how employees cope with thwarted expectations, the changing bases of commitment, the use of job change as an employee, development strategy, and the design of organisational career systems.Keywords
