In this issue, we offer a draft community standard for a postdoctoral career workshop that can be used as a template and resource for career development at any institution. This document addresses the issue of what can be standardized to improve the lot of postdoctoral researchers, given that this is a professional group with diverse objectives that is motivated mainly by scientific curiosity.

In the wake of the Modernising Medical Careers reforms, the issue of careers support has risen up the medical education agenda. This article looks at best practice in providing careers support to junior doctors and considers how to advise trainees whose career plans you believe to be unrealistic.

Job security can never be taken for granted, especially in times of rapid, widespread and unexpected social and economic change. These changes can force workers to transition to new jobs. This may be because new technologies emerge or production is moved abroad. Perhaps it is a global crisis, such as COVID-19, which shutters industries and displaces labor en masse. Regardless of the impetus, people are faced with the challenge of moving between jobs to find new work. Successful transitions typically occur when workers leverage their existing skills in the new occupation. Here, we propose a novel method to measure the similarity between occupations using their underlying skills. We then build a recommender system for identifying optimal transition pathways between occupations using job advertisements (ads) data and a longitudinal household survey. Our results show that not only can we accurately predict occupational transitions (Accuracy = 76%), but we account for the asymmetric difficulties of moving between jobs (it is easier to move in one direction than the other). We also build an early warning indicator for new technology adoption (showcasing Artificial Intelligence), a major driver of rising job transitions. By using real-time data, our systems can respond to labor demand shifts as they occur (such as those caused by COVID-19). They can be leveraged by policy-makers, educators, and job seekers who are forced to confront the often distressing challenges of finding new jobs.
