- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2019This book is amazing. i read it the year before starting my PhD in counseling psychology and it helped me gain a better understanding of what to expect. it has sample CVs and resumes based on the career path of choice (teaching, practice, etc), moving tips, interview tips for job, organization tips, dealing with your advisor and dissertation committee. if you’re going to grad school for psych, especially PHd, i HIGHLY recommend reading this book. it’s the only book i’ve found that tells you what to you when you’re in psychology related graduate programs whereas the rest just give you advice on how to get in.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2013Just bought this for a person who is just starting a doctoral program in school psychology. She said that it has already been helpful to her and will serve as a reference for the next four years.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2022Book was required reading, pretty much common sense
- Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2015Arriving in a timely manner and book was as described!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2013I wish I would have read this before I started graduate school! But it was an interesting and easy read 4 years in.
