Research

We publish research on how career navigation actually works and why most people struggle with it. Our work is grounded in cognitive science, evidence-based advising practice and what we see with the people we work with every week. Free to read, cite and share.

The 6A's Framework

 

Managing a career takes skills most people were never taught. The 6A's Framework groups them into six areas: Agency, Awareness, Alignment, Action, Allyship and Agility. The starting point for understanding what career navigation actually takes and where your own development sits.

The Job Search Breakdown

 

A five-part series on what's actually broken in modern job search and what to do about it. The system isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed, just not for you. The series explains why job boards optimize for volume over matching, why title-based search returns useless results, where 38% of American workers find income that never appears on job boards and how to extract signal from noise without burning time or confidence.
