definitely worth buying
19 July 2005
Format:Paperback
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.

A research psychologist's bible

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Amazing
26 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback
The Compleat Academic: A Career Guide, holds a substantial amalgam of knowledge from experienced scholars to health practitioners. It is the sole source of reference that an adherent student of higher education must have in order to considerably prepare for future career as an academic, researcher, or clinician. It grants considerable details on how to be successful in academia, starting from pursuing a research-academic career immediately after completion of a doctoral degree or chase a post-doctoral position, to simply sustaining a profession in a research-focused university. I raise my chapeau to the authors and collaborators in compiling these untold secrets pertaining to throughout and following post-graduate degree.
