The Price You Will Pay for Work-Life Balance | The Professor Is In - 0 views

  • work-life balance is possible, but it takes vigilance and absolute commitment, it requires that you defy the expectations of your colleagues in the department and in the field at large, and that you be prepared to suffer a price for it, in terms of speed of promotions, raises, and career advancement.  You *can* have work-life balance, but it will be in resistance to, and defiance of, the norms that govern academic careers, and you will suffer consequences, and you need to be prepared for them.  And consequences that you don’t experience in terms of career advancement you might well see in terms of your physical health and mental well-being.

    Work-life balance is possible, but it takes commitment and it may also come at a price. The cost may be a promotion or a raise. This cost affects women more than men, because women leave the profession to be with their families.

    A free online technology that uses apps on phones and computers to improve student interaction. This is basically a response-tracking system without clickers. It eliminates the problems of students forgetting clickers or giving them to friends in class. I use it to take attendance and gauge understanding pre- and post-lesson. I just found it a few weeks ago and am still learning. If you have experience using it or another technology, share with me!

    I appreciated the percentages reflecting "the most important aspects of CV" based on a 2010 Orange County Resume Survey by Eric Hilden. Spelling and grammar counted 14%, while previous related work experience counted 45%. This resource was not focused on an academic CV (it's from the UK), so it scored education only 9%. I was pleased to see "Easy to read" scoring 25% - this relates to the importance of good, clear design in the CV.

    This is one of those sites I cross-reference when I'm writing CVs and other academic documents. What I like about this page is its list form and definitive do's and don'ts. It's reminiscent of a how-to guide and easy to follow.
  • Terri Konstantinou on 04 Feb 16
     
    This guide is detailed, clear, and very helpful. I also love that when someone comments on the page asking specific questions, Karen herself takes the time to answer and initiate discussion. The only downside is it is a little older, but if the guidelines still apply it doesn't really matter.

    I have the PDF of this if anyone is interested. Individuals who work longer hours, perceive less job-based support for work/family issues, have spouses who demonstrate less support for career goals, and who are less satisfied with day care arrangements report greater levels of work and family stress. Women reported greater academic and family stress and perceptions of less institutional support for balance of work and family as compared to men.

    Provides tips on making teaching and writing more efficient, presumably freeing more time for "life." I've seen a version of his "paragraph response sheet" used by one of the full professors in my department. HIs point on tenure evaluation equivalencies reinforces my opinion that it is important to find a mentor or advocate at your institution that has served on the promotion and tenure committee for advice.

    This is alike many other recent, and trending, articles/blogs/etc. on HuffPo and elsewhere that explore the ties between feminism and work-life balance, and the structured inequalities that perpetuate the misnomer of work-life balance, particularly for women. What it helpful about these discussions is that - increasingly - they extend beyond the female-professional-as-mother dialogue and to the professional-as-caregiver dialogue, which so many of the Sandwich Generation, Millennials and Generation Y will face all too well.

    This article helps us to understand how the work-life balance conversation emerged and why it is so meaningful, and so different, from traditional conversations about work versus personal life of prior generations and decades. The dialogue is largely driven by the new economic realities of the 21st century and, in turn, the inability and/or attempt by large employers and employees to adjust.

    "You'll spot that I haven't mentioned 'work-life balance'. I don't believe in it. There are only 24 hours in a day, and it's all my life. My work is my life, my home is my life, my family is my life and my addiction to mid-century Belgian ceramics on eBay is also my life."
  • bspear on 08 Apr 17
     
    I am certainly interested in having children while I pursue a career in academia. I enjoyed this article because it was a refreshing departure from the usual negativity associated with the topic. Obviously being a parent and an academic are not mutually exclusive titles, so here's someone who talks about how she does it!

    This article resonates with my own definition of work-life balance, or rather my interpretation that it is an artificial bifurcation of one's life. Or, "Again, there is no work-life balance in academia. You need to figure out what works for you and when you work best."

    This University of Pennsylvania resources provided here are phenomenal. I particularly liked, under CVs > CV Guide for Graduate Students, the "Anatomy of a CV and CV Samples" section, which also includes samples of teaching philosophies and research statements and other good tips. Here is a similar resource from Rollins College that also has acceptance, withdrawal and informational interview letter samples: http://www.rollins.edu/careerservices/resumesandcoverletters/samples.html.

    It is important to set clear boundaries about your time for yourself and others. It is also important to do this in a way that t doesn't make you look bad.

    EXPECTING work/life balance is impossible. One has to be intentional and CREATE balance by setting clear boundaries on their time and attention.

    This article says all of the things I want to shout from the rooftops. Work-life balance is an artificial construct, but it has real implications, and so many of those implications are determined by the workplace culture and "home" culture developed for and by us through large employers. More to the point, "It's imperative then that the companies we work for and lead develop values, culture and policies that support the full lives of employees."

    What type of curriculum vitae (CV) is most likely to impress potential employers? One that is simple, straightforward, organized and tailored to fit a job ad, experts say. "Right now it's a very competitive job market, and a CV is your ticket to an interview," says Tara Kuther, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at Western Connecticut State University who has given seminars on writing CVs.

    This article stresses both the do's and the don'ts of a CV. I thought the sections on "Honestly Representing Your Work" and "Weight if it's Worth Including" added to the required articles of this module.
