Golde, Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Education, Stanford University An indispensable guide to the difficult and complex academic job market. I have recommended earlier editions of this book to generations of graduate students, and they have benefited immeasurably from its authoritative advice and generous supply of sample documents (like CVs and cover letters). This new fifth edition expands and improves a book that was already a trusted classic. This is a book on which graduate students looking for academic positions would be wise to rely. -Joseph Straus, Distinguished Professor of Music, Graduate Center, CUNY The academic job search is fraught with anxiety, urban legends and misinformation.
