[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has she defended her thesis? If she has not, I don’t know how she’d walk by May. If she has, how is she going to hang around another year? Does she have funding? My knowledge of this process is based on my husband’s engineering PhD. His siblings and parents went to his defense, not the graduation ceremony. A defense is not a toddler friendly event. [/quote] She's completed her thesis, but wouldn't file until she has a job. She has funding for next year -- some university fellowship. [/quote] Honestly unless there is a big “match day” weekend for interviews like in Econ or something similar in her field where everyone gets job offers at a certain time of year, it sounds like she doesn’t have her shot together to land a job in 6 weeks. I think you should keep your calendar open for next May. [/quote]
