Getting your PhD in 2017?  There are things you should be doing NOW to plan for your career. In this workshop, we will talk about every aspect of the successful academic job search.  This will include

1.  Writing a CV, Teaching statement, Research statement, and cover letter
2.  Choosing and cultivating 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 may also be mentioned.

All are welcome, including post-docs and students that are still more than one year 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 finish.
