Hello ,

Dr. Fawzi Abou-Chahine recently sent me his 2021 book, A Jobseeker's Diary: Unlocking Employment Secrets. It's directly aimed at PhDs, especially folks from STEM disciplines. Folks in the UK seeking roles in the private sector will certainly benefit from this book.

The second book I recently received is the new edited collection from Rutgers University Press, The Reimagined PhD: Navigating 21st Century Humanities Education. This text appeals to both individual PhDs and graduate students figuring out their own pathway forward and faculty members and other university staff working to improve programs and professional development offerings at their campuses. I'm glad to see it out! (I was at the 2016 conference that inspired this book.)

Here's my growing list of recommended books for PhD job seekers. (I haven't added these two books yet, but I will!)

The CAGS (Canadian Association for Graduate Studies) conference is coming up the first week of November. I have a few discount codes to give away, especially for graduate students. You don't have to be in Canada to use them or benefit from the conference. The theme is "Care, Social Justice, and Inclusion in Graduate Studies."

Fill out this form and I'll send you a discount code for $20 off... which, if you're a student or postdoc, will make your registration $20. And yeah, those are Canadian dollars, so it's about US $15 or something.

Oh, and one last thing: I have openings for one-off consultations. I'm happy to speak with you about doing (or leaving) PhD programs, strategizing a career change or job search, and related topics. Read more about this paid service here.

Best wishes, and thanks for reading!

Jen
