Abstract	The need to develop professional skills -- Responding to the job market -- Developing a roadmap to marketability -- Finding your comparative advantage -- Developing your research agenda -- Engaging with your advisor -- Applying to your first conference and writing an abstract -- Attending your first conference -- Publishing your first article -- Winning funding -- Getting started in teaching -- Managing your time and motivation -- Going on the job market. "Doctoral Student Skills offers a comprehensive overview of the key skills doctoral students need to succeed in their studies and prepare for academic and non-academic jobs. Revealing the often-hidden rules of graduate school success, it guides students through challenges like selecting a research topic, choosing an advisor, preparing for conferences, publishing their work, and entering the job market. The book begins by explaining how to survey the job market and identify "signifiers" that will signal to future employers the student's suitability for a job and to reflect on their own experiences and abilities to identify their areas of comparative advantage. Providing a roadmap to acquire key signifiers during their studies- which includes conference presentations, publications, grants, awards, and teaching experience - this book helps students establish a professional identity by discussing professional skills, including presenting at conferences, article writing, and grant applications, the volume lays bare the keys to academic and professional success. The book is designed to be used as a course text or for self-study. Each chapter features reflective exercises that can be used individually or in small groups, along with recommended readings and additional resources to enhance student learning"--Provided by publisher.
