Adopting the Individual Strategy for Job Hunting A wodest proposal

摘要

You are about to begin applying for your first job post-PhD. Do you have a strategy? That is, are you going to do anything that singles you out from the scores of others in the market? I'll call this an individual strategy. Or, are you going to proceed as the vast majority of entrants into the job market do, which is to apply to many places and let the market decide? I don't regard the second approach as a strategy, but perhaps I should and call it the default or market strategy.
