This is a book review of 'Professor Mommy' which discusses a work life balance for women working in academia. There are women I know who have children and go to graduate school. It is difficult and I couldn't imagine leaving a newborn at home to go to class/work/research. This was different from the other work life articles I have been reading (which are aimed for most populations).

I found this article interesting because I feel like our graduate lives play an important training role. We learn different aspect of our field in graduate school and behaviors (working). I thought it was fascinating that mentors will exaggerated (not on purpose or out of malice) how many hours they worked a week. This does not setup a good work life balance foundation.

I like how he refers that life and work are one entity. We cannot separate them because they are intimately woven together.

We are constantly re-adjusting our lives. Our lives are not constant and there are different challenges that sneak into it. We have to be flexible and accept that.

I love TED talks. The biggest take away was: Be realistic about your situation.

I have noticed a trend with universities. There seems to be more systems that support a CV format. This does away with a professor compiling their information in a separate document. I know the University of Texas at Arlington has a system called Mertis. This allows for their faculty members to input information instead of a CV. Has anyone else noticed this? I wanted to post this website one because it has the sections, but is a more condensed version.

This site has more subsections as well as a slightly different way to organize the CV. It does mention that we should keep in mind what type of job we are applying for. Is it a research or teaching position? This could determine if we will list research or teaching experience first.
