Description

This book shows job hunters how to train themselves to succeed in the humanities job market. They can study examples of the documents and work up answers to the questions posed in phone, conference, and campus interviews. They will also learn about bargaining for items such as subsidies, databases, and start-up packages. The book can be used by department job officers to train students, or by job hunters training themselves. Minority job hunters will find questions and advice specific to their position. The material on academic economics and politics will help job hunters transform their mindset from student to faculty.
