I have FINALLY finished assembling my basic materials -- cover letter (much revised since the version I posted, and with only two customizable sentences /FAIL), CV, dissertation excerpt, and a brand new teaching portfolio -- and sent applications to all the tenure-track jobs with October deadlines.
Here are the reasons I'm applying to every remotely plausible job, even those I don't seem likely to get (or want), for as long as I can stand it (according to advice from Brown's Center for Career Planning and Placement):
- sending out materials is a great way to spread the word about you and your research
- you never know whether the job ad accurately reflects who the department wants to hire
- the ones that would be cut are also the least time-consuming ones, so why not?
Most of these are still open; search on SCMS (members only), Chronicle, and/or H-Net to find them, or let me know if you need the info.
