Applying for Jobs
3
• Not everywhere
• Be realistic
• Plus aspirational and back-up
• Don’t limit yourself geographically
• The world is flattening
• “Bucketize” your targets
Where to Apply?
4
• Networking via your faculty
• CV
How to Apply?
5
• Take this seriously
• Not a business card, but not a novel
• Go find three examples of what good “looks like” (and maybe “bad” for comparison)
• Education, Research and Pubs
• Teaching experience, ratings, interests
• Past work experience
• One or two lines on extra curricular
CV
6
• Networking via your faculty
• CV
• Cover letter
How to Apply?
7
• Go back to your buckets (prioritize, you can’t send the same thing to everyone)
For high priority targets:
Ø Personalize (to school, not individual)
Ø Why you are interested in them
Ø Why they should be interested in you
Ø External perspectives on both the above questions?
Cover
8
• Networking via your faculty
• CV
• Cover letter
• Maybe working paper
How to Apply?
9
• Evidence of ability to do high quality research
• Indicators of ability to teach
• Some way to calibrate potential “Fit”
• Evidence/RTB you are serious in your interest in the school
What are “they” looking for ?
10
• First job, not last
• Fit
• Collegiality
• What can I learn there that will make me more valuable if I wanted to leave?
• Can I publish my way out?
What are you looking for ?
11
• It’s a hugely inefficient, wildly random, matchmaking process…
• …in which you usually don’t have much choice in who responds to your personal ad
• But (don’t ask me why) it somehow usually ends up working out for the vast majority
Overall Observations
