Dean Lazar's Golden Guide 2020 Edition: Pragmatic Career Advice for Everyone

Dean Lazar's Golden Guide is designed for all anyone who wants to find opportunities to be paid to think and to continue to develop their skills. The tone and approach is supportive, warm and engaging. It includes specific, actionable advice for everyone - from students and recent graduates to mid-career professionals, and offers game plans and strategies for networking, thriving at work and balancing career and life challenges. The Golden Guide provides clear advice and guidance for developing the habits of mind and effective behaviors that are likely to lead to career success - no matter what profession or field of inquiry. I wrote Dean Lazar's Golden Guide after working for more than a decade overseeing graduate law (LL.M) and policy (M.P.P.) admissions at two Chicago area universities, including the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy. The advice I offer reflects the lessons of my own career journey as well as my experience offering career counseling to hundreds of talented young people.Some may define pragmatism as the "opposite" of idealism, but I think the best way to think about it is to see pragmatic thinking as practical and pro-active, in support of your ideals and dreams. Pragmatic behavior is self regarding but certainly not selfish, and this Golden Guide will help those who want to be efficient with their time, effective with their efforts, and successful in their careers and in their lives.
