The labor world has been changing in the course of the last decades and following those shifts the nature of the relationship between organizations and professionals is also changing. A relatively new multidisciplinary field of knowledge in the academy studies those configurations and has developed theories on new career models. The academics of this field have shown that the traditional career model is no longer responding the needs of professionals and contemporary organizations. In this context, the Brazilian public service has been trying to organize its activities in public careers since the 30’s, without success. Many of the constitutive elements giving form to those careers are still based on those premises and are related to the traditional career model. The present work intends to examine the relationship between those contemporary theoretical models and the practical operation of a career in the federal Executive Branch. Using the case study as methodology, this work explores the career of Specialist in Public Policy and Government Management and its characteristics are compared to two modern theoretical models: the boundaryless and the protean career. The findings point towards evidences of the presence of many elements consistent with those career models in the case studied, and the practical operation of those elements was described and analyzed, showing the difficulties in operationalizing those models amid the context of bureaucratic culture in the public sector and the inertial strength of the traditional career model. It is hoped that this study and its conclusions will cast light on those possibilities brought by the career models and the viability limits in introducing them in the public context. The applicability of this work relies in its corroboration in fulfilling the lack of academic studies on public careers in Brazil and in giving solid ground for the work of public managers involved in the theme of career management.
