Our Recommendations for Higher Ed and Career Development Blogs
This week, we're highlighting five blogs that focus on faculty and student career development.
Inside Higher Ed Career Advice Section: IHE has devoted this section to cover topics on career advice and job searching. They talk about everything from finding a faculty position to how to teach during the summer.
Higher Education Weblog: Geared towards graduating seniors, the Kellog Forum offers a slew of information for students entering the "real world," and they have an entire section on transitioning to graduate school. The information is useful at any level.
Personal Branding: While not 100% focused on higher ed, Dan Schawbel gives a lot of very insightful advice on how to position yourself and your assets to best compliment your ongoing career goals. He has several great articles on the education space.
Higher Education Management: This blog has an interesting twist. Most of the content's ideas come from a pre-established LinkedIn group with the same name, and it focuses on "the people, organizations, and issues that operate at the intersection of business and higher education."
Chronicle Careers: Not only does this site contain a ton of discussion on career progression in the higher ed space, it also provides a pretty dynamic platform for readers to exchange thoughts, search for jobs, and even determine salary ranges. This is definitely a full suite of useful resources.
You should check these blogs out if you're interested in career information in higher ed. They offer a lot of useful and timely information for students, professors and alums.
