ReMeDHe

Based on current survey responses, there is a lot of interest for future workshops focused on specific documents like cover letters and teaching statements, so stay tuned!

We will be accepting both your questions and suggestions about the job market until July 3; please submit them here. A Zoom link for the workshop will be circulated closer to the scheduled date.

The last fifteen will be an open Q&A for any questions you want to ask personally. A written version of our answers will be circulated afterwards for anyone unable to attend, so for our friends in Australia and other time zones far afield, no need to attend after midnight unless you want to :)

ReMeDHe's first job market workshop will be July 18 at 8 am PST/11 am Eastern time. Our first forty-five minutes will be spent with our panel answering the most common questions sent in beforehand.
