 +====Your Campaign Platform====
 +  * 你应该是一系列的,满足 commiittee 需求的技能组合的体现
 +  * 你应该将自己视作一个政治候选人,有一份属于你的竞选纲领。理想情况下, 所有的 commiittee 看到这个纲领的时候就会联想到你(他就是那个做那个啥的!)
 +  * 对于每个你申请的工作,(特别面试的每个人),你都需要按照你的纲领给所有人传达一个明确,易于理解,合理,且**一致**的信息。
 +===如何创建你的纲领===
 +8 个相互关联的要点,将你的教学,研究,服务等联系到一起并包装起来。以作者的纲领为例:
 +  * platform:graduate school in cultural anthropology 
 +  * 要点:见 P80
 +  * 解释:见 P81
 +====Why They Want to Reject You====
 +  * 有时被拒不是你的问题,是 search committee 的 workload 太大
 +===你的对策===
 +    * deliver an **undeniable** record ** in a small number of flawless pages.**
 +    * give them **exactly the information they need**
 +==具体细节==
 +总共**十**页:
 +  * A two-page job letter
 +  * a one-page teaching statement
 +  * a two page research statement (variable, see chapter 27)
 +  * a five - page CV
 +====When to Go on the Market and How Long to Try====
 +  * When: ABD
 +    * ABD 期间申请能积累到很多求职的经验
 +    * ABD 后有足够的试错空间
 +  * 好工作出现的时间:
 +    * late summer - fall
 +    * 面试在 winter
 +    * offer 在 spring
 +  * 正确的流程
 +    * 申请你 defend 那年的工作
 +    * 理想状态下 3月份拿到 offer
 +    * defend in May
 +    * submit in June
 +    * fall 开始新职位
 +===ABD 的一些需要克服的挑战===
 +  - dissertation substantially finished, rigorous writing schedule, firm defense date
 +  - at least one publication, and preferably more, in a refereed journal. 
 +  - have a compelling dissertation topic
 +  - have a vibrant conference record
 +  - you must organize a major panel for the leading conference in your field.
 +  - must have a recommender from a high-status institution outside your Ph.D.-granting institution. 
 +  - must not make querulous excuses about the state of the dissertation
 +  - must be able to speak about teaching as a professor, not a TA
 +  - articulate the import of your dissertation in advancing disciplinary boundaries and forging new knowledge and connections in your field(s)
 +  - 其他的:CV,cover letter, dynamic teaching statement
 +  - how to dress and speak in interviews
 +===How long to keep tring===
 +-continuing as an adjunct longer than about **three years**
 +-有伴侣的支持可以干七年
 +==Adjuncting的求职==
 +  * Adjuncting 的工作会被视作 gap. 可以通过输出学术方面信息来最小化 "gap" 带来的影响
 +  * 线性的讲述自己的 Adjuncting 的经历(我去了哪,又去了哪)并不能体现出教学经验的广度和深度
 +  * commiitee 更想看到的是**你如何教授某种内容的展示**。
 +==如何展示==
 +  * 阐述有能力教授或已经教授的课程,并诠释如何去教授的。
 +  * 课程的内容不与教授地点挂钩,而与教授内容挂钩
 +  * 不要提及具体的大学。
 +<WRAP center round box 100%>
 +//Regardless of how long and where you adjunct, make sure you’re protecting yourself and your financial and emotional interests as well as you can. Do not sacrifice your health and well-being indefinitely at the altar of tenure track aspirations. When choosing among several options, make sure to go for the one that advances your personal cause the best. Weigh your immediate need to build a competitive record for the purposes of the job search against your long-term financial and mental health.//</WRAP>

 +</WRAP>
 +<WRAP center round info 100%>
 +R1 与 R2 的主要区别就是 teaching load 的不同。\\ \\ 
 +SLAC 根据 rank 的不同在 teaching load 上有一定差异:

 +==接下来是他自己的广告==
 +P99
 +===Why “Yourself” Is the Last Person You Should Be===
 +  * 不能 “just be yourself”,你需要建立一个专业的人格。这个人格必须是:
 +    * 成熟的成年人
 +    * 有着非常有组织的研究计划
 +    * 对某个研究领域做出贡献的自信
 +    * 拥有路径清晰的发表计划
 +    * 对思想交流持开放的态度
 +    * 对部门的真正需求有深刻的理解
 +
 +==A Tightly Organized Research Program==
 +  * 用大约五句话来描述的论文/当前的项目,该描述需要:
 +    * topic
 +    * 相关的data, text,或是研究的对象
 +    * 研究方法(methods)
 +    * 应用方法(approach)
 +例子见P107
 +==A Calm Confidence in a Research Contribution to a Field or Discipline.==
 +  * 博士论文 应该是具有开创性的,而不是**仅仅**附加性的:
 +反例
 +>“People have looked at X but nobody has yet looked at Y”; “I am building on the work of X and Y”
 +正例
 +>In contrast to common views in the field of X, my research shows that instead the core variable is Y. This shifts how we view A and B.
 +  * 博士题目应该是**全新的**(//new topic//),原创的,自主的,而不是基于一个项目的二次开发(不管是不是你之前的项目)
 +==A Clear and Specific Trajectory of Publications==
 +  * 需要将自己过去,现在,未来的发表串联起来,以计划的形式体现:
 +例子:
 +>//As you saw from my CV, I have two refereed journal articles published on this body of work in the Journal of X and Journal of Y. I have another in revise-and-resubmit stage at the Journal of Z. Beyond that, I am finalizing my book manuscript, and am speaking with editors at Duke and Chicago about a contract. I expect that to be complete in spring of next year, and after that I am planning two more articles based on material that didn’t make it into the book.// 
 +==Innovative but Concise, Unemotional Plans for Teaching at All Levels of the Curriculum==
 +  * 教学计划需要有新意,但也需要简洁和平稳
 +  * 使用具体的课程(intro/adv 都需要)来作为例子
 +    * 内容要包括已经在你教案上的,还有计划开发的
 +    * 组织上需要介绍:
 +      * 课程名(course titile)
 +      * 课程要点(takeaway points)
 +      * 课程主题 (primary themes)
 +      * tex and readings
 +      * innovative assignment (理想情况下与 digtal resource 和 social media 结合)
 +      * 然后就到此打住,不要说太多。
 +==A Nondefensive Openness to the Exchange of Ideas==
 +Nondefensive 的例子:\\ \\ 
 +问题:
 +>“I notice you don’t really address gender in much detail in the dissertation. Do you have plans to develop that?”
 +反例回答:
 +>Oh my gosh, yes, it’s true. I didn’t really get to include gender. I really wanted to, but, uh, you know, I just ran out of time, and that’s a total lack in the dissertation, I know, and I’m totally going to focus on correcting that.”
 +正例回答(nondefencsive)
 +>Yes, thanks for raising that point. In fact, as I worked deeper into my analysis I discovered that **gender was not the primary variable**, and that a focus on X allowed me to keep my emphasis on Y.”
 +再接:
 +>and am working up a manuscript that addresses it from the perspective of Z to submit to the Journal of Q. I’d look forward to talking to you more about that.
 +==A Steely-Eyed Grasp of the Real (as Opposed to Fantasy) Needs of Actual Hiring Departments==
 +  * dept 要考虑的:
 +    * 招生人数,班级规模,funding,facutly 的生产力,学生的保留率,裁掉垃圾项目等
 +  * 对招聘人不重要的:
 +    * 你的内心世界(你怎么走到这一步的,你怎么看教学特权,研究荣誉等等)
 +    * 你的研究细节
 +  * 对他们重要的:
 +    * 能不能快速大量发顶刊
 +    * 能不能搞到钱
 +    * 能不能利用新的教学技术,较少的预算来达到较好的教育效果
 +    * 出色的教学能力
 +    * teach well enough to avoid lawsuits (应指避免教育能力地下带来的教学事故)
 +==如何练习==
 +  * 解答针对的问题
 +  * 与同行/系内教授/伴侣进行大量的 mock 练习
