Ep 12. The Academic Job Search: #jobseason

Here ye, here ye! We know everything about the academic job search!

Psych. On this episode of How We Got Here, we talk to each other about the perils, pitfalls, and page-length-of-cover-letters of the mysterious wonders that comprise the job search for a professorship. Rachel talks about her recent failures and successes in the most recent #jobseason, while Steph provides crucial insight from the point of view of a search committee member. Application materials, first and second round interviewing, negotiations… Denmark does everything better (?!)… we cover it all!

Listener questions guide this podcasr episode but NO, we CANNOT answer the question: What am I doing with my life?! Sorry. We don’t know either.
