Related to my previous post on the Washington Post article, I came across a blogpost about the academic job search, with this depressing flowchart.
It’s an interesting post that touches on some of the issues involved, but I can only hope things aren’t quite as bad as the flowchart indicates! (I like to think there’s at least slightly more reason to be optimistic, although I’m sure I’d have a different view if I was in the midst of the job search process and no one was hiring…).
