Average Rating:
Rating: - Good book
Well written book... important for student pursuing a PhD who wondered about things not usually spoken in an organised manner.
Rating: - Excellent
The Complete Academic was exactly what I was looking for. It answered my questions regarding teaching as a profession, and how to get my foot in the door.
Rating: - very helpful
I bought this book for the job interview section primarily. However, I think it will be helpful throughout my career in psychology.
Rating: - A research psychologist's bible
This book is a must have for anyone in or considering a career in academia as a psychologist. It offers wonderful perspectives for what you should and should not do at all stages of your academic career. As a psychology grad student, I am recommending it to all of my peers. I could not be happier with this book. It is a wonderful source of professional guidance and inspiration.
Rating: - definitely worth buying
I was a little disappointed with the depth of the coverage given to the job-search process (probably because that's my main focus right now), but I still think that this book will come in very handy in the future. If you are a psychology major thinking about grad school, a psychology graduate student, or a psychology professor at the beginning of their career, this book has a lot of useful information. There are some missing data spots, but no book is perfect of course.
