Next Gen PhD: A Guide to Career Paths in Science

This book really really helped me while trying to decide what to do with my life. EVERY SINGLE PhD student and graduate should read this book. Specially if you are in the biomedical field. It really helps. I love the tone of the book and the concrete advise it gives. It tells shows you that many of the fears and doubts you may have are normal and it tells you how to navigate the fears to get somewhere where you will feel happy. I cannot recommend this book enough. Please do yourself a favor and read it.

It helps in several issues, some are better handled than others. In same aspects, it is better to go to a counselor for resume or cover letter design and content, specially for interview questions, counselors are better. However, it is useful. Should be read.

This book will guide you paths to get a satisfying job for PhDs in science(from self-assessment before job searching to advices after you get a job).Examples of CV/resume and interview question are useful.Advices for networking would also be very helpful.

This is a great read for anyone with a degree in Biology. I have a MS in Biology and I was able to apply a lot of the advice to my own career searching.

Much of the advice seems very standard but the values assessment and methodical methods to research careers serve as a very helpful framework for career exploration.

I bought one from my friend and I she said it's interesting I haven't read it yet

Very helpful

As a former graduate student and now postdoc, I found this book to be an extremely helpful guide to understanding and making the most of a doctoral career path. Timely, well-written, and data-heavy, I would highly recommend Next Gen PhD to anyone thinking deeply about Ph.D. careers (those contemplating graduate school, current graduate students, postdocs, faculty, administrators, and policy makers). The author has spent years of focused research on doctoral careers and counseled hundreds of graduate students and postdocs. This experience comes through in the book as a balanced, realistic, and ultimately forward looking guide to fulfillment in a complex and often misunderstood career environment. A must read.

This guidebook is essential reading for PhD science graduates as they transition from school to work.
