DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe 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 EBOOKThis book will disrupt how you think about creating your best work life and workplace and give you a no-B.S. road map to get you there. What you’ve been taught about how to find health and happiness at work is inaccurate. Yep, it’s wrong. If you are fed up with the overwhelming and conflicting noise around how to create a fulfilling professional life or be a leader people actually want to work for, this book will help you cut through the clutter once and for all. Through years of research and truth-finding, Kelly Mackin and her company, Motives Met, have discovered a completely new mindset and approach around what well-being at work is all about, how to get there, and why it’s so important that we do get there. This book is a transformative personal guide; but it’s also a call to action for a fundamental shift in our approach to work—a manifesto for a human-centered work world. The heart of humanizing work is honoring that we are human beings at work with human needs, and these needs—what Mackin refers to as motives—should be healthy and, ideally, thriving. Ill-being still drastically overshadows well-being at work, but using Mackin’s proven framework and 5-step pathway we can change that. You will become empowered to: • Elevate happiness, mental health, and well-being for yourself, the people you work with, and those you lead. • Learn to be mindful of, evaluate, and communicate motives, to ultimately meet them. • Create a people-first culture where employees thrive and business thrives; • Overcome well-being obstacles by eliminating the “dream killers” that threaten a human way of working. • Ditch surface-level connection and friction for more meaningful work relationships with psychological safety and trust. And so much more! *EXCLUSIVE HUMAN NEEDS ASSESSMENT CODE* Are your motives met? With your book purchase, you will receive your code to take the Motives Met Human Needs Assessment to uncover your top 5 motives, the psychological, emotional, and social human needs driving your ability to thrive at work today. The assessment reveals the unique truth of well-being for yourself, your team, and organization. This book is a breath of fresh air that isn’t about chasing perfection or some unrealistic ideal; it’s about embracing what is genuinely possible. It’s about the attainable dream of a work life well-lived for all.
