In this revised edition of The Anthropology Graduate's Guide, Carol Ellick and Joe Watkins present a set of practical steps that guides the reader through the transition from student to professional, covering a wide range of career options for which an anthropology degree is applicable. It includes an overview of anthropology as a discipline, professional qualifications and key skills, an outline of key jobs and future careers, and guidance on job application materials and interviews, as well as discussions of professional communication styles and the importance of belonging to professional organizations.

New to this edition are updates to technology recommendations (portfolio building, Skype and Zoom interviews, social media, etc.), tips for formatting résumés, discussions of navigating harassment and inappropriate behavior, discussions of diversity, social justice, and inclusion, and updated statistics on finding jobs in and out of academia. Ultimately, the stories, scenarios, and activities presented in this book will show a reader how to use knowledge, skills, and abilities learned in the classroom in a career setting.
