It is job hunting season for many PhDs
Thought I& #39;d reshare this post, with some data on my postdoc job search, and the search that got me here at Forbes

I never applied for a Tenure Track job, wasn& #39;t interested, and my search had a geographical constraint of me and my husband agreed I& #39;d only apply for jobs w/in 1 hour of a place he could work
I was looking for jobs where doing applied research, working really closely with managers and conservation decision makers could be valued. Also hopefully lots of work in wetlands.
I feel like I hit the jackpot, but also know that part of success is being ready at the right moment
I could have easily been on the market a year earlier or a year later, and this job wouldn& #39;t have been open. So some of it is preparation, hard work, some is & #39;luck& #39;

for those applying to non-TT research positions, I& #39;m happy to chat about my experience, and what my application looked like.
my biggest advice for applying for jobs, is dont& #39; let it eat up every moment of your entire life.
Set aside X hours a week, and when those are over, go do something you enjoy
for me this was every Saturday AM until 11am or noon.
