Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

It is abundantly clear that careers have become highly unpredictable and volatile, implying that scholars must include significant disruptions when studying contemporary career development and success. As a result, research on career shocks has flourished in recent years. However, the career shocks literature lacks comprehensive theorizing of how career shocks impact people’s work, careers, and lives. We argue that now is the time to develop and share such theories. Therefore, this symposium brings together five different studies that contribute uniquely to new theorizing on career shocks.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
