What Else You Can Do With a PH.D. : A Career Guide for Scholars (1-Off)

Rating:
Summary: Fine for what it is, but overpriced for what you get
Review: The authors attempt to tailor their writing to Ph.Ds who wish to pursue careers outside of academia. This is an admirable goal, as this is a genre in which relatively little has been written. Unfortunately, WEYCDWAPhD doesn't add significantly beyond what one finds in most job-seeking books, mostly relegating itself to basics like how to write a resume, how to interview for a job, etc. Their use of the Myers-Briggs personality indicator to guide readers to jobs which fit their personalities was fine, if necessarily abbreviated because of the book length. I liked the chapter on negotiating, as that is something too many get-a-job books for new graduates don't cover enough - I suppose because those books' intended readers often have no advanced skills to barter with, something not true of this book. ... However, this would be a good acquisition for university job centers or libraries.
