Career shocks, according to researchers Jos Akkermans and Scott Seibert, are unexpected events that significantly impact career trajectories. These shocks can be negative, such as layoffs or ethical crises, or positive, like unanticipated promotions. Given today's volatile environment, it's likely individuals will face at least one career shock. Importantly, the consequences of these shocks can be unpredictable, where positive outcomes may lead to adverse effects, necessitating the development of both proactive and reactive resilience strategies for a successful career path.
Career shocks, defined as unexpected events out of oneâs control, can significantly alter career trajectories, demanding both proactive and reactive resilience strategies.
In todayâs volatile market, experiencing career shocks is likely; while negative shocks often come to mind, positive events can yield unpredictable consequences too.
