The type of employment protections provided in the job application process, during the job interview, in the employment decision, and while on the job are outlined. Students are encouraged to approach their work search and career decision making with careful consideration and enthusiasm. A self-assessment process is presented for examining likes and dislikes in various life activities, leading to a list of skills and interest areas for career development. Tools to help students sort through their skills, abilities, interests, and values in order to make informed career decisions are noted, along with descriptions of publications such as the "Dictionary of Occupational Titles." Networking and informational interviews are presented as methods of gaining information and contacts in certain types of work and learning of open positions. Suggestions for writing resumes and cover letters are offered. Procedures for determining when job seekers should disclose their disability are presented. Guidelines for performing well in job interviews are also discussed. The final section lists national and local (Spokane, Washington) organizational resources, employment hot lines, and a 14-item bibliography. The 10-minute videocassette emphasizes the importance of self-confidence in job interviews, preparing for the job interview, disclosing one's disability, and outlining accommodations needed. (JDD)

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.
