4.0 out of 5 stars
Wish I had read this before applying for jobs.,
This review is from: Finding an Academic Job (Surviving Graduate School) (Paperback)
I read this book after I had found an academic position, and I wish that I had read it long before I started the application process. Now, it's not going to tell you how to write each individual document that you must submit when applying for jobs. It does present a holistic view.It's obvious that the previous reviewer has never read this book. It's not all about studying... It's about helping you get a job. I would highly recommend that every graduate student seek out materials such as this book as well as any other literature on the subject.

What is she talking about?,
By Terry (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finding an Academic Job (Surviving Graduate School) (Paperback)
I am currently enrolled at Harvard Medical School, and I must say that this book is an insult to me and the thousands of graduate students everywhere. The advice given in this book is totally useless when it comes to preparing for graduate school. there is no way one can spend all of his/her time just studing, in between classes that is. Only through hardwork and constant studing can one ever achieve what one sets out to do. These people are bozos. Thank You.
