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.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column.

Download or read book The Art of Gathering written by Priya Parker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hosts of all kinds, this is a must-read!" --Chris Anderson, owner and curator of TED From the host of the New York Times podcast Together Apart, an exciting new approach to how we gather that will transform the ways we spend our time together—at home, at work, in our communities, and beyond. In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive--which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience. The result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. The Art of Gathering will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them.

Book excerpt: Congratulations… You have taken your first major step to building your future! Whether it’s your very first formal interview-on how to present yourself or if employed already and you just want to polish your resume or brush up on your interviewing skills, then this guide covers all that you need to prepare you and catapult you into a successful career. Employers are looking to hire young personnel that are keen and know how to use their talents, abilities, strengths, and interests effectively. But successful interviewing doesn’t begin the moment you walk into the interview and end the moment you leave. Successful interviewing includes preparation and follow-up. It takes hard work and sheer tenacity to identify the best situations to apply your superpowers. You need to know yourself, and you need help finding what it is you do that creates magic for others. First, remember that job interviews should be a process of two-way communication. Not only are they a tool for employers to use to evaluate you, but they are also an opportunity for you to assess the job, the organization, and to see if there is a "fit." However for many people, the fear of being put on the spot and meeting the interviewer’s expectations can overshadow their interview performance. And let’s be frank, almost everyone experiences some kind of nervousness or anxiety related to job interviews, which can manifest in different ways like: talking too fast, overusing fillers like ahh’s or umm’s, not finding the right words to concisely respond to questions, the dreaded sweaty palms and the list can go on… But this nervous energy prior to an interview is not something to fear. It is proving you want to do well! Research says that it can in fact help you to perform better if you master the key to a successful interview: The key to a successful interview being preparation and practice. At an interview, potential employers are trying to assess some of or all of the following: ü Your attitude towards your job, others and life in general. ü Your qualifications for the position ü Your "fit" with the employer or organization ü What value will you bring to them? ü What makes you different from the others being considered? ü How well you have considered your reasons for applying ü How clearly you can express your potential contribution to the organization ü Your “soft skills” such as communication and professionalism. ü How you are able to get along with others-handling complex issues etc ü How you carry and conduct yourself and more Remember that if you don’t manage yourself, no one will. Far too many people wait for someone else to create the circumstances that allow them to be happy at work. No matter how much we sulk or complain about our lot, the only person responsible for changing the situation is the one staring back at us in the mirror. You only own your career. Not your parents. Not your college or organization. Not your boss. You own your professional development. Finding yourself a new job can be an extremely time consuming and stressful part of one’s life, especially if you’re a recent graduate and making your way into the job world for the first time. Even if you’re a successful professional looking for a new job, finding the right job you’re best suited for will take time, energy, research and all of your personal selling skills you can muster up in order to impress a potential employer. Careful preparation is therefore necessary to produce optimal outcomes from an interviewing experience. And this book "Get Ready, Get Hired!" will immensely help you do just that- to catapult your career forward. You will learn how to position yourself, to stand out, improve your job application and increase your chances of becoming the successful candidate! You will discover how to write a strong resume, create an effective cover letter and successfully prepare for a job interview- taking your job application to the next level or finding the right career, by making sure to wow the company and seal the deal to get the job!
