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.

Download or read book Old School Simple written by Krish Sailam and published by Krish Sailam. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Krish Sailam takes a macro-level view of how technology is potentially slowing down small business. There are too many "game changers" and too much noise from experts, and there is not enough time in the day to keep up with every new technology that comes out. You have a business to run, and it is my job to save you time and more importantly money with your technology decisions. Old School Simple helps you find a starting point. Old School Simple explores three main themes: • How to decide if a technology is relevant to your business and will increase revenue or decrease costs. • How to create goals around implementing technology. • How to create actionable metrics to measure your success. The point of the book is that if you had a choice to spend $1000 a month on technology that you didn’t fully understand or didn’t have time for, versus $1000 a month making your core product better, the decision to invest in your product is always a better bet. But if you have to implement a new technology, I want you as a business owner to define a goal, and a metric. The book provides guides on finding technology help, defining tangible goals, and measuring your success. Talk to any expert in SEO, social media, paid search, or app development and they will all agree it is nearly a full-time job to stay on top of new technology every day. As a small business owner, your core job is to create amazing products and services. Not to know every new technology that comes out. If you do find a technology that is relevant to your business and your customers are asking for it, Old School Simple gives you guidance to find technology and creative help. Old School Simple is not a book to learn about Facebook, Twitter, or the latest social network. It is a book about finding connections between your revenue model and these new technologies. The chapters are rich with examples, diagrams, sample guides, and quick summaries. Hopefully, it becomes a book you love to share with and recommend to other small business owners. I would love to ask you, my customer, for feedback on how I can make this book better and what other formats you would like to see it in. Please let me know how you implemented or tested these techniques within your own business. Email me at [email protected]. Most people are too afraid to ask for feedback, but I have to stay true to my book. Things can always improve, I just need to know what my customer wants. Does the book come up short in any areas? Do the examples need more or less fleshing out? Would you like to submit your small business experience as an example? Any and all feedback is much appreciated. I see this as a living project that will continue to evolve over time, though the basic principles will stay the same. Technology must support the core revenue stream, not just take up time. Thanks for purchasing and recommending my book.

Download or read book Topline Bottom Line A Simple Brief Comprehensive and Irreverent Writing Guide for Professionals written by Robert Levine and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topline, Bottom Line opens by stressing the importance of good writing to business in the Information Age. Part One devotes a chapter each to grammar, spelling, punctuation, accuracy of word choice, the impact of word choice on writing's tone or style, structuring sentences and paragraphs, organizing documents, and the composition process. Part Two presents strategies for the most common types of business writing: resumés and cover letters, other correspondence, company newsletter articles, descriptive writing like instructions and job descriptions, expository writing such as project reports and employee reviews, and persuasive writing like proposals. The conclusion asserts that words convey information as definitively as numbers, requiring an equal level of precision in their use; it also counsels that writing is an art, not a science, because only the unique circumstances of each writing situation determine what works best for that situation.

Download or read book Deep Work written by Cal Newport and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF 2O16 PICK IN BUSINESS & LEADERSHIP WALL STREET JOURNAL BUSINESS BESTSELLER A BUSINESS BOOK OF THE WEEK AT 800-CEO-READ Master one of our economy’s most rare skills and achieve groundbreaking results with this “exciting” book (Daniel H. Pink) from an “exceptional” author (New York Times Book Review). Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep Work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way. In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill. 1. Work Deeply 2. Embrace Boredom 3. Quit Social Media 4. Drain the Shallows A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.
