Description Co-published with ACPA.
This book aims to help job seekers looking to evaluate fit in their current and possible future positions, as well as hiring managers who face challenges in.
The profession has made progress in the way it serves students, but there is a disconnect between the conversation about students and the way those same values play out in the treatment of practitioners and scholars in the field.
The Student Affairs profession strives for inclusion and acceptance as a core value, and an essential competency.
The normative assumptions of "fit" are analyzed by the authors to make visible the barriers those assumptions create for those with non-dominant identities.
Emerging from the Commission for Social Justice of ACPA, the personal narratives and critical explorations in this book are an attempt to provide graduate students and professionals with a resource that is relevant to the job search in an increasingly competitive job market, while taking into account the complex realities of their identities.
These include looking at the legal aspects, employer definitions, communication barriers, as well as scholarly personal narratives looking at the concept from the perspective of class, race, gender and sexual orientation.
This edited collection brings together a number of voices to look at the issues involved through various lenses to explore the ways policies, procedures, environments, and cultural norms provide inequitable job search experiences for individuals from various marginalized groups.
This book opens a conversation about the use of "job fit" as a tool for exclusion that needs to be critically investigated from multiple standpoints.
Fit is a term used by nearly everyone in Student Affairs throughout the hiring process, from search committees and hiring managers to supervisors and HR professionals.
This groundbreaking book examines a concept that has gone unexamined for too long: The concept of "job fit" in the Student Affairs profession.
