Jump Start Your Career in BioScience

Summary: Rehashed Career Gobbly Gook
Review: I found this book to be simply a rehash of everything that has been written since "What Color is Your Parachute." There is nothing original here and it did very little to clearly paint the picture for future careers in science. This book was written a number of years ago and I was disappointed to see that it includes nothing about modern aspects of bioscience careers. Quite disappointing to say the least..

Summary: A delightful and thorough discussion of available careers.
Review: This book is an essential part of every science job-seeker's armamentarium. It contains a vivid and detailed plan for developing your career, from the broad first steps to the detailed 'end game'. The section on the approach to career planning was particularly helpful. The personal anecdotes reinfirced the feeling that the author has already 'been there and done that', a reassurance that is so often missing in other career books. This book gives me the confidence that I can carve out my own niche in the business world.
