[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you find your job? Did you have an in? Did you apply a bunch of different places? What's the hiring process like?[/quote] I cast a wide net. The hiring market is brutal in academia (for tenure track gigs). Even for a place ranked 75th - 125th in USNEWS, you get 150-175 applications for the coveted tenure track gig. You have little control over geography, although I lucked out on that one (won't say anymore). I applied to 30 jobs. I got 2 offers. I had 8 interviews. I had no connections whatsoever to my current gig.[/quote] I have a relative getting a phd and he plans to only apply to schools in 2 smaller cities. I've only heard accounts like yours--I hope it works out for him. [/quote]
