The next best thing to sitting down with a hiring manager and getting the inside scoop Susan Cameron This book is the next best thing to sitting down with a hiring manager and getting the inside scoop.This short guide is a very useful tool for PhDs applying for non academic jobs. The section on writing and formatting a resume is incredibly helpful, for anyone applying for a job, not just academics. I am currently in a job-search and I have already implemented some of the steps outlined in the book and I will refer to it in the future, particularly as I format my resume and cover letter.The book is divided into 4 sections and is a quick read. I really enjoyed the author's conversational writing style.The adv. "A concise yet complete guide to job hunting" according to Autumn Cuellar. I reviewed an advance copy. I'm not an academic and so was not exactly the target audience, but much of the advice was universal. I appreciated having the perspective of a hiring manager. The tips are practical, and I loved that the author gives reasons when explaining why something was important (such as why grammar is important in written materials). Not a word was wasted, I felt. It's a concise, quick read, and I plan to refer back to it when I am next on a job hunt.. VB said Concise, focussed, and informative!. I'm a non-STEM academic with an academic partner in STEM, but nevertheless found this book full of practical job-search related advice. As someone who struggles with small talk, I found the tips on networking very valuable, as also the parts on converting an academic CV into a resume. Would not only recommend this to anyone moving from academia into industry, but also to people going on to the academic job market - it's a concise, quick, focussed read.
