I bought this book for the job interview section primarily. However, I think it will be helpful throughout my career in psychology.

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.

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.

The book is absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone going into academia. However, the delivery process was a pain. Amazon sent me an e-mail stating that someone had tried to deliver the package and couldn’t, so I needed to pick it up per the number on a slip left. I had the book delivered to my office and there was not a slip left. I went on a day long chase to try to find this book. Turns out, no one had even attempted to deliver it yet!

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.
