About this title

Synopsis

From identifying sources of information about positions for academic job seekers of all disciplines, to advising on the preparation of effective CVs and portfolios, through guidance on the process of interview to final negotiation of terms, Dawn Formo and Cheryl Reed--two Assistant Professors happily employed in their first choice institutions--provide a savvy guide to the application process.

Informed by the authors’ experience, the narratives of current and recent job seekers, and the rhetorical analysis of the processes of application, interview and negotiation, this book offers invaluable advice and insights to anyone contemplating an academic career in today’s precarious job market.

The authors cover the full spectrum of potential positions--adjunct, visiting, temporary and administrative appointments, as well as traditional tenure-track professorships--in both 4-year institutions and community colleges.

This book includes sample application letters and vitae, a model for job search workshop, and a rich list of resources both in print and on-line.

This handbook grew out of the demand generated by the authors’ successful workshops. Practical and entertaining, this is the essential guide to navigating today’s complex and changing academic job market.
