Written to help the transition from graduate to lawyer, the Law Graduate's Guide reveals that law school has a hidden curriculum. While studying, completing course requirements, and making progress toward a law degree, students should also be deliberately planning their career and professional development. This guide helps law students identify, organize, and make the best use of career and professional-development advice and resources in order to link their education with a meaningful career. The Law Graduate's Guide has three parts organized around knowledge, skills, and ethics. Each of these has three parts of its own on: (1) school (the law school curriculum); (2) tools (professional-development resources); and (3) transitions (career paths and opportunities). The guide includes graduate success stories illustrating each practice; career and professional-development advice from dozens of judges, lawyers, and law school deans and professors; and exercises for each recommended activity. Appendix A lists the activities that each section of the guide describes, making for an index. Appendix B lists the same activities in roughly chronological order, recognizing that many of the activities are continuous and overlapping.

The Services Sector Education and Training Authority (SSETA) is responsible for skills development in the services sector. After a pubic legal fight with Blade Nzimande, and losing his job as CEO of Services SSETA, Ivor Blumenthal finally writes a book which addresses the circumstances of his leaving, and the state of the SSETA as he left it. In simple terms, Blumenthal describes the warts that popped up in the system; from racist and gender-bias to the inordinate expensive of it - serving only a narrow segment of South African society. Blumenthal concludes that, historically, the industrial framework in this country was established to benefit the few at the expense of the many. Through a blow-by-blow, chronological review of his time at the head of the SSETA, the book clearly points out the system faults, as well as those of government, 50 Shades of Greed looks at pre-1994 history of the services SSETA, and why it needed to change drastically. Blumenthal then moves on to discuss the changes implemented - from the new mandate, and how it was carried out, to the key players, new-found successes and the like. Though it deals with all that was wrong with the system, Inconsequential is also redemptive, as it takes an in-depth look at the service SSETA, and the wide-scale re-development of the Skills Development Framework with regards to three different elements. Finally, Inconsequential undertakes a post-2010 analysis of what remains of the SSETA system, how different it is from the original ineffective mandate, and its success rate.

Research on help seeking has primarily focused on classrooms interactions that consist primarily of students asking teachers and peers for help. The rapid emergence of information and communications technologies and interactive learning environments, however, requires expanding the help-seeking landscape and rethinking such critical theoretical issues as the distinction between help seeking and information search, and whether help seeking is inevitably a social self-regulated learning strategy. There is also the need to focus attention on help seeking in the broader learning enterprise, which includes its role in the collaboration process, how to support adaptive rather than the over- or under-reliance on help seeking, as well as to scaffold help-seeking skills that render the process more efficient and useful. To examine these and other issues, the present volume assembled contributions from internationally recognized scholars and researchers to capture the state of the art and to anticipate future developments in this expanding field. Its relevance extends to anyone attempting to understand the role of technology in education, including educational researchers and teachers who do now or who expect to use technology to support instruction, and the rapidly expanding numbers of those developing new technological applications.

"This book is very timely for understanding the link between education and employment in a binary economy. The authors provide a lucid framework for technical professionals to become T-shaped systems thinkers, who can get in-depth as well as work on a wider bandwidth, as required" --Dr. James C. Spohrer, Director, IBM University Programs World-Wide (IBM UP) Innovation Champion, IBM Almaden Research Center, San Jose, CA, USA "A practical road map for both professionals and policymakers committed to developing a critical skills infrastructure for the 21st Century." --Dr. Leonard Schlesinger, President, Babson College, Wellesley, MA, USA "This powerful book has two interwoven parts. The first part tells us the story of what has happened to STEM work in the U.S. economy over the past few decades of relentless globalization and digitization of information. Refreshingly the authors stop short of making a prediction. Instead, they turn their attention to what can be done to energize and transform the work of STEM professionals to benefit the global economy as well as their own jobs and careers. The book is also full of insights for public policy officials, higher education leaders, and corporate training heads. It is a must read for senior managers of STEM companies and organizations." --Prof. V. Kasturi Rangan, Malcolm P. McNair Professor of Marketing, Harvard Business School, Cambridge, MA, USA "This is an innovative and motivational book for STEM professionals participating in today's global knowledge economy. It urges them to establish a personal strategic plan and to develop transformational skills as well as academic knowledge and industry-specific skills. To be rewarded in today's marketplace the authors point out that STEM professional must be nimble, entrepreneurial and innovative, be a source of new solutions, but also take personal responsibility for continually developing those skills throughout their career." --Prof. A. Galip Ulsoy, C.D. Mote Jr. Distinguished University Professor of Mechanical Engineering and the W.C. Ford Professor of Manufacturing, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA In this book, the authors advise an alternative approach to career development for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals. The authors believe that self-help is the best help and hence technical professionals should take ownership of their future in a strategic way -- just as businesses and corporations have to rely on a strategic approach for long-term survival and success. The authors incorporate concepts of systems thinking, as well as global knowledge, to develop strategic solutions to identified industry needs.

40 Interview Icebergs will help you to be more successful in interviews and get the job that you really want.

That's why Michael Heath has approached recruitment and HR professionals around the world and simply asked them the question, "What are the most common errors that someone might make that would stop you from hiring them?" This book lists the 40 most common reasons - the icebergs that all too often send a job application to the ocean floor. But to know that an iceberg is on the horizon is not enough. How do you get round it? That's why each section has several tips which will help you steer a course to the safety of your port or destination: the job you really want.

What really is going on in the university? Does it matter which college you attend? Do you have a strategy in place to make your decision? Is college right for you? Professor Roberts gives honest and candid answers to these questions. As an executive in the financial services industry and as an assistant professor of economics, he has instructed, managed, hired, replaced and mentored thousands of college graduates. He has interviewed hundreds of students. What he has found in his experience has resulted in this compelling and candid assessment of the higher education industry. The situation in our colleges is critical. Most college students are receiving little return on their money. Professor Roberts urges all students and their parents to consider this huge investment and understand the implications of their decision before jumping in and becoming part of the "college frenzy." This is a "must-read" for parents, students, and every person who has an interest in higher education.

There is an urgent need to provide academic professionals with individual, institutional, and contextual accounts of their careers and career-making endeavors. An individual account makes academicians think about what they do and how they might do it better. An institutional account makes academicians reflect upon the organizational environment in which they function and ponder what they might do to improve it. A contextual account connects academicians and their work to knowledge, the knowledge enterprise, and the larger social structure so that they know and understand the impact they and their career-making efforts have on themselves, academia, and general social processes. This book examines academic careers and career-making activities with respect to their main aspects, milestones, and general pathways. In content, it divides into four identifiable parts. Part I focuses on professional preparation. It examines education, degree, reeducation, job search, and job change. Part II centers on organizational employment. It investigates position, research, teaching, service, and tenure. Part III revolves around professional networking. It looks into publication, conference presentation, application for grants and awards, and membership in academic associations. Part IV rises above specific issues. It explores general career pathways and overall scholarly identity.
