Assistant Professor of Psychological Science Steven Zhou published his first book, From First Job to Career: Research and Narratives (Cambridge University Press, 2025). The book weaves together first-job stories from people across diverse industries and backgrounds, giving career seekers of all ages the chance to connect with relatable experiences and learn from the many paths people take in shaping their careers and the wisdom they gained along the way. The narratives are paired with a comprehensive review of research in vocational psychology and career counseling to distill key principles and offer actionable strategies for navigating the job search and building a meaningful career.
