This article provides a critical discourse analysis of how career is discussed on elite graduate recruitment websites. Building on previous work from Handley (2018, https://doi.org/10.1177/0950017016686031) and Ingram and Allen (2019, https://doi.org/10.1177/0038026118790949) this article draws attention to how career is constructed, first, as something which graduates consume and, second, as a ‘liminal experience’ which transforms the graduates' identities and allows them to gain access to a new authentic self, now able to progress towards their personal goals. This ideological reading of careers information is different to traditional understandings of careers information in Higher Education research which focuses on the objective nature of information which can be used to support the rational decision making. Focussing on the ideology of career draws attention to the need for careers delivery, in Higher Education and beyond, to engage with more critical pedagogical approaches.

通过精英毕业生招聘的镜头探索劳动力市场信息的批判性观点

本文对精英毕业生招聘网站上如何讨论职业进行了批判性话语分析。在 Handley（2018，https://doi.org/10.1177/0950017016686031）和 Ingram 和 Allen（2019，https://doi.org/10.1177/0038026118790949）之前的工作的基础上，本文提请注意职业是如何构建的，首先，作为毕业生消费的东西，其次，作为一种“阈限体验”，它改变了毕业生的身份，让他们能够接触到一个新的真实自我，现在能够朝着他们的个人目标前进。这种对职业信息的意识形态阅读不同于高等教育研究中对职业信息的传统理解，后者侧重于信息的客观性，可用于支持理性决策。
