ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to explore which capitals determine employability and career development trajectory. Using guided reflection, the author reports on how she navigated/circumnavigated the world of work in two countries, Mauritius and Australia. With many twists and turns to develop her career in two different educational and economic contexts, she could still stick to her career identity. Analysing the impact of different types of capital on her career development, she concludes that passion was what has brought her across seas and continents to continue on her French teaching career. Passion is an inherent element of her French teacher identity that seemed to connect all her capital and drove her to develop relevant capital in order to reserve that professional identity, regardless of the context where she developed her career.
