I haven't made it yet to the 'next' job, but your post has given me hope that it is doable especially if I keep in mind that the 'next' job isn't necessarily the same as the 'forever' job.<br /><br />Best of luck in making it to your dream city!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282788798018689873.post-15497841371808088012011-08-24T13:30:59.282-04:002011-08-24T13:30:59.282-04:00You know, I think that this is one way in which go...You know, I think that this is one way in which going on the academic job market once was good for me. Sending out a few resumes here and there while more job listings are appearing every week seems downright reasonable in comparison. I cringe at how much time I spent carefully crafting 60+ cover letters and application packets ... 90% of which probably never even got glanced at. <br /><br />After doing that, seeing the sheer quantity of jobs out there, along with the knowledge that you're not confined to a small "application season?" I'm finding it very calming, actually. If I got a few interviews and one (crap, temporary) offer from the horrifying academic job market? I will figure this out in due time.<br /><br />(The "for now job" also helps with this, I admit.)JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468758055878600762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282788798018689873.post-15031175624914403942011-08-24T12:39:45.373-04:002011-08-24T12:39:45.373-04:00Thanks, JC!

I take things too personally and get all "why don't you love me?!" every time I send out a resume that does not result in a job. It sounds like you have a really health attitude about all of this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282788798018689873.post-57540539287921925992011-08-24T10:21:40.909-04:002011-08-24T10:21:40.909-04:00Thanks!
