On the Market: Strategies for a Successful Academic Job Search
"All graduate students in the social sciences and humanities should be a given a copy of Sandra Barnes' On the Market on the day that they start graduate school. This book not only tells one how to navigate the job market, but is an excellent guide to planning an academic career." - Kenneth J. Meier, Texas A&M; University "A wonderful array of wide-ranging suggestions and strategies. The presentation of timelines, outlines for paper presentations and publications, CVs, and teaching portfolios are invaluable... not only highly useful for graduate students, but also an excellent addition to departmental professional resource libraries." - Davita Silfen Glasberg, University of Connecticut "Few resources speak so directly to the challenges facing new/newer Ph.D.'s in the social and behavioral sciences. Barnes addresses the key topics that job candidates face as they seek academic positions, and does so in an engaging, accessible way." - Adina Nack, California Lutheran University"
