Merry Christmas and Happy Jobseeking New Year!
This will be my last brief posting before Christmas, wishing everyone a lovely holiday whatever you may be doing. I will be back in 2008 hoping to offer more words of wisdom on how to get an academic job, or how to make the most of your current career opportunities. New Year is always a time for stock-taking and resolution-making, so I’ll be giving lots of jobseeking advice based on my experience as a lecturer. Bye for now!
