Careers are very difficult to manage even under the best of circumstances.
A person must be both lucky and competent to have a successful career. John Borchardt, author of more than 100 articles, has written a book that attempts to improve a technical person's self-management by introducing several important management skills. By aiming Career Management for Scientists and Engineers toward students, undergraduates and graduates, as well as older professionals who may be considering alternative careers, he has unfortunately managed to miss both targets. The book has four major sections. In personal productivity, the author describes several behaviors to increase your productivity, such as picking up a document and dealing with it immediately rather than picking it up several times before dealing with it.
