Getting your PhD in 2016? There are things you should be doing NOW to
plan for your career. In this workshop, we will talk about every aspect
of a successful academic job search in mathematics. This will include

1. Writing a CV, teaching statement, research statement, and cover letter
2. Choosing, cultivating, and asking letter writers
3. Finding job listings
4. Interviewing and negotiating job offers
5. Meeting those early deadlines (and what you need to do by mid-August)

The focus will be on the search for academic jobs, but some resources
regarding the non-academic job search will also be mentioned. All are
welcome, including students that are still years away from finishing.
If you plan to take the job search seriously, there are plenty of things
to start thinking about now that will make you a better job candidate
when you graduate.
