description
In 2007-08, Ellison and I mentored finishing PhD students through weekly meetings to guide them through the academic job market process. In 2008-09, we set up a blog to contain much of the advice we had previously distributed verbally in meetings and through individual emails and, thus, began having twice-a-month workshops to do peer-review of CVs, cover letters, mock interviews, and practice job talks. We have continued that set-up in 2009-10, as students have begun to refer to the “job blog” more regularly.
