This book was my guide throughout my academic job search, and it was enormously helpful every step of the way. I cannot recommend it enough for anyone looking to make sense of this at times labyrinthine and confusing process. Having received several job offers, I can safely say that Hume´s exhaustive advice is on point and really helps one to mentally prepare for interview and campus visit situations. The book also provides practical, no-nonsense tips for the myriad requisite documents one is obliged to prepare by different institutions, as well as plans for how to organize one´s time and graduate school career in such a way as to come off in the best possible light. Most helpful of all, however, might be the final chapter, which discusses what comes next-- how to move forward toward tenure and, in essence, become a professional while on the job.. And summed up by saying An excellent resource. Currently Surviving Your Academic Job Hunt: Advice for Humanities Ph.D.s has an overall rating of 10 over 10.
