All this reading, reflecting and writing about my professional profile brought me back to the fundamental question: What do I want to be when I grow up? I hear a voice inside me saying “Time’s up, Dissenting Scholar. You said you wanted to be a Doctor. 8221; I am overwhelmed. Maybe I stayed in school precisely to avoid having to answer this question? This probably put me in the wrong ...

https://recoveringacademicchronicles.wordpress.com/2013/11/20/ok-lets-get-a-job
Chronicles of a Recovering Academic. 8230; on being a sheep in wolf's clothing. Sort of. November 20, 2013. Let’s get a job. So about these “non-academic jobs” I’ve been hearing about…How do I get me one of those? Where is the philjobs/apsa ejobs/ aer jobs website so I can submit my applications? Instead of a teaching philosophy or research statement, should I just write up a post academic manifesto to submit along with my resume? Directors, consultants, associates. Which one am I? Writing it out like th...

Dr Piglet Gets The Hell Out Of Dodge. Laquo; Links Roundup IV. Not eaten by David Willets*! November 7, 2012. Nothing like a jaunty jacket to get through existential job angst. I am not dead, just monstrously hungover from having stayed up last night with Partner Piglet to watch the election, fuelled by pie, ice-cream and a bucket of whisky. And well done US readers for getting Obama back for another 4 years! To its enemies. For non-UK readers, this is the system which comes around every 4 years to a...
