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.

Elaine Sihera's New Theory of Confidence©, developed over the past 20 year, is based on hundreds of confidence quiz analyses together with the results of a more recent online survey of hundreds more. Dr. Sihera takes a familiar, but highly misunderstood term, and explains it in a simple way that allows anyone to understand themselves and their routine behaviours, especially how much their level of confidence dominates how they see the world, react to it, and affects their treatment of others. She deftly demonstrates the origins of Confidence, how it is boosted, maintained, and lost; how routine habits actually reduce, or increase, its level, and its true power over self-esteem. Gradually, and with numerous examples, she skilfully reveals how Confidence profoundly influences everything we do, even without us realising it.There is something for everyone among the pages, including:* The three key drivers that maintain, and destroy, Confidence;* The importance of childhood experience, and subsequent relationships, in the development of Confidence;* How Confidence mirrors self-esteem;* The strong influence of Confidence on personal achievement; * When, and how, we actually lose Confidence;* Why the usual confidence tips that focus mainly on 'positive thinking', and changing specific actions, won't really help;* The quiet way Confidence controls intimate relationships, and gradually obstructs them;* How negative perception, and striving for perfection, can damage Confidence permanently. Readers will also learn about the crucial role confidence plays in personal perception, assertiveness, achievements and success, and in the quality of relationships,, as reflected in personal decisions, choices, and the language they use. By the end of the book, readers can expect a deeper understanding of the nature of confidence and should feel more knowledgeable and empowered to apply it beneficially to their own lives. There are also three self-assessment quizzes and a summary of the latest online Confidence survey analysis.Not a book to be missed!
