Book excerpt: The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration. Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job. And as the creator of the popular and widely respected advice site The Professor is In, she has helped countless Ph.D.’s turn themselves into stronger applicants and land their dream careers. Now, for the first time ever, Karen has poured all her best advice into a single handy guide that addresses the most important issues facing any Ph.D., including: -When, where, and what to publish -Writing a foolproof grant application -Cultivating references and crafting the perfect CV -Acing the job talk and campus interview -Avoiding the adjunct trap -Making the leap to nonacademic work, when the time is right The Professor Is In addresses all of these issues, and many more.

Seriously speaking, large number of ambitious young men and women are under the impression that entrepreneurship is a piece of cake, because there are so many business opportunities available all over the world for them, and they just have to open up the oyster grabbed the pearl inside. What they do not know is that many of these dreams remain just pipedreams, because of lack of proper advice, guidance and even financial resources. I was doing a little bit of research online and I was horrified to see a large number of books written by so-called startup manager gurus, which an ambitious person bought at prices ranging from $19.99 – only for the next 48 hours. Otherwise you will have to buy it at $38.99 and so on – to a higher price range. And all of them spoke about business plans, strategies, markets, setups and business this and that. All right, I learned it all, when I was getting my higher professional qualifications in business administration and management, in the age of the dinosaurs, when Peter Drucker ruled supreme as Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the more things change, the more they remain the same. We business professionals, just loved to make everything so complicated for our future students, to impress them about how knowledgeable we were. We had graphs, plans, flowcharts, and anything else which would look very impressive on the whiteboard or on paper, or on LCD presentations. And everybody would marvel and say, “Wow, our professor, really knows her subject really well, doesn't she. I could not understand half of what she was saying. But it was pretty impressive, yes, sirree, Bob.” Been there done that, confused my students thoroughly. That is why, I am going to write a totally non-confusing book for all the youngsters out there, who have been thoroughly confused by their counselors, guided to within an inch of their lives by their advisors, or have had their gray matter scrambled well by their egghead professors. This book is going to tell you all about general tips and techniques, for ideas for businesses where you are going to be working from your home, and you do not have to go borrowing thousands of dollars for initial start up seed funding, from your bank or from your relatives because you wanted to start big, in keeping with your ego, status and to soothe your own self-respect and to make a splash in the neighborhood or business world.

Download or read book Freedom and Destiny written by Rollo May and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1999-01-17 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular psychoanalyst examines the continuing tension in our lives between the possibilities that freedom offers and the various limitations imposed upon us by our particular fate or destiny. "May is an existential analyst who deservedly enjoys a reputation among both general and critical readers as an accessible and insightful social and psychological theorist. . . . Freedom's characteristics, fruits, and problems; destiny's reality; death; and therapy's place in the confrontation between freedom and destiny are examined. . . . Poets, social critics, artists, and other thinkers are invoked appropriately to support May's theory of freedom and destiny's interdependence."—Library Journal "Especially instructive, even stunning, is Dr. May's willingness to respect mystery. . . .There is, too, at work throughout the book a disciplined yet relaxed clinical mind, inclined to celebrate . . . what Flannery O'Connor called 'mystery and manners,' and to do so in a tactful, meditative manner."—Robert Coles, America
