Today, I have a tip for those of you who like to work with “real” books as well as for those of you who prefer online information.
I researched a book on career planning. It was written by Sarah Blackford, “the Head of Education and Public Affairs of a large international bioscience learned society”. She is an experienced career advisor and shares her experiences in the book “Career Planning for Research Bioscientists”. More information you can also find on her blog.
Does anybody know it already? Or of those who now take a lot, what do you think?

If you have not already discovered it by using the „My Individual Development Plan“, I recommend having a look on the online career magazine of Science. The magazine offers a lot of useful information. For example, in the Tools & Tips section, you find booklets on topics like “Your Career from Undergrad to Postdoc”, and “The Informed Job Search”.
