Survival Guide for College Graduates provides readers with valuable advice to help them navigate their careers during ups and downs in the economy or during recessions. Readers learn how to prepare for challenges related to job scarcity, as well as how to compete successfully for professional positions that are available within their field. The book, written like a manual or guide, encourages readers to recognize their worth in the job market and identify the competitive skillsets they possess. It underscores the importance of self-awareness, valuing oneself, and how self-confidence can come across in an application or during a job interview. Readers learn how to research and better understand the condition of the economy and job market so they can make informed, confident decisions that align with their personal economic needs and situations. Dedicated chapters examine the personal issues and challenges they may encounter--including stress, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, and substance use--and offer advice for cultivating positive habits to counteract these challenges. Each chapter features questions and prompts to inspire self-reflection and help readers consider how the material applies to their lives. The book answers common questions by undergraduate students and recent graduates, including: * How do I survive during a major recession or economic downturn when jobs are scarce? * How to I explain the value of my degree to others, including parents? * What can I do with my bachelor's degree? * Do I need to go to graduate school to get a well-paying, professional job? * Is my bachelor's degree the same as a high school diploma? * Do I have to move to better myself financially with my bachelor's? * Do I have to get a job right away after I graduate, or can I take a break? * What job skills do employers want me to have? * What job skills should employers need me to have? * How does graduate school differ from undergraduate school? * What kinds of universities are best to go to for a graduate degree? Are there differences between them? * How do I deal with stress, anxiety, and depression during an economic downturn or pandemic? * What types of resources are available to me locally in my area to help me with stress, anxiety, depression, or mental health issues as I prepare for my career?

Try! by Karen Okulicz Pdf

This book is a practical survival guide to unemployment that offers a thoughtful, step-by-step process for getting organized and getting the work one needs for a satisfying, productive, and happy life. It does not teach the reader how to set up a resume or how to interview. It does teach how to find out what the reader wants to do, what he or she wants to be, and how to survive some basic aspects of unemployment pitfalls. It also gives tips on how to set up the work search process. Eleven chapters cover the following topics: fault and unemployment; how to spend one's free time; emotional release and remaining positive; listening patiently to other people's advice; deciding what one wants to do--a job, a career, or a life's work; making a personal wish list about oneself for employment hunting; trying different jobs, especially volunteer opportunities; organizing a grid that tracks activities on a weekly basis; saving as much money as possible; dealing with interviewing disasters; and being kind to oneself and using the time to learn about oneself.

How to Succeed in Your First Job by Elwood F. Holton,Sharon S. Naquin Pdf

How to Succeed in Your First Job Part One of a three-part series of a series of practical guidebooks on work transitions. These new books guide new hires-and their managers-step by step through the "breaking-in" process that is absolutely essential for helping new employees thrive. It is relatively easy to get new hires to be competent to perform the basic tasks they were hired to do. But success on the job is due to much more than that. It comes from understanding how the organization really works-the unique aspects of how things get done in that particular organization. And it comes from learning how to "fit in"-knowing how to get accepted, get respected, and earn credibility. The three books in the series are: How to Succeed in Your First Job: Tips for New College Graduates Helping Your New Employee Succeed: Tips for Managers of New College Graduates So, You're New Again: How to Succeed When You Change Jobs Built around author Ed Holton's dynamic 12-step process-extensively field-tested and firmly grounded in research-these three volumes give new college graduates and their supervisors, as well as seasoned professionals who've changed jobs, essential insights and tools for mastering a variety of transition challenges. Given the high costs associated with new employee turnover, no organization can afford to leave the new employee assimilation process to chance. Corporate human resources directors, managers of new employees, individual employees making job transitions, and career counselors alike will find powerful and practical new ideas and tools in these essential handbooks.

Forging a Rewarding Careerin the Humanities by Karla P. Zepeda,Ellen Mayock Pdf

As has been abundantly documented in the popular and academic press, the humanities are facing challenging times marked by national debate regarding the importance of the humanities in higher education, program and budget cuts, and an ever-decreasing number of tenure-track jobs. In addition, the humanities face quite literally a quantification of their value as the Academy adopts a more corporate mindset. This volume provides advice to professionals in the humanities on how to forge a useful, compelling, and productive career. The book’s 13 chapters address professional approaches to developing and maintaining an active research agenda, fomenting the ideals of the teacher-scholar model, managing the service demands within and outside the college or university, and navigating institutional politics. The collection offers practical and theoretical approaches to higher education, personal anecdotes, intelligent advice, and interviews with colleagues in the humanities. Specific themes addressed include the transition from graduate student to humanities professional, diverging from prescribed paths, the humanities professor as creative writer, moving from secondary to post-secondary education, humanities in an international, market-based context, and participation in governance structures.
