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 The Job Search Navigator written by Matt Durfee and published by Agate Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A no-holds-barred view of career management in a turbulent world . . . provides a reality-based perspective that should be of value to all who read [it].” —Len Schlesinger, president emeritus at Babson College, Baker Foundation professor, Harvard Business School In these uncertain times, The Job Search Navigator is a reliable guide to every step of the twenty-first–century job hunt, whether readers are laid off, wanting to change careers after surviving cutbacks, or seeking a better full-time gig in a stagnant marketplace. Author Matt Durfee writes from the perspective of someone who has both recruited for some of America’s biggest companies and navigated his way through nine of his own job losses. The book combines practical real-world perspectives with the technical knowledge job seekers need in order to excel at every aspect of their searches. Drawing on the knowledge Durfee accumulated through his own experiences, searches, and big-brand corporate hiring responsibilities, The Job Search Navigator abandons the “clinical approach” of many other career-advice books. Instead, Durfee gives easy-to-follow strategies and, perhaps more importantly, recounts in illuminating detail the kinds of mistakes that led him to develop these strategies. “From the strategic to the emotional to the tactical—this is one of the most practical and useful books on career management I’ve read in a very, very long time.” —L. Kevin Cox, chief human resources officer, American Express Company “Matt’s expertise in this space is unmatched. We live in a world where constant reinvention is the rule and The Job Search Navigator is essential reading for those who want to take control of their career trajectory.” —Scott Westerman, executive director & associate vice president for alumni relations, Michigan State University
