 * >> COMMENT re: above: I can speak from experience when I say that the academic "two-step" is becoming a viable path to the tenure track in our field. The market is hyper-competitive right now (and has been for about 4-5 years), and anything "extra" you can do to set yourself apart will make you more marketable. As a result, more and more people are choosing to take a 1-2 year postdoc, fellowship, research associate, or visiting assistant prof position because (a) it helps to build your CV in real terms (new opportunities for research, teaching, etc) and (b) it sets you apart from all the other ABDs out there (you will have a PhD in hand, a new academic position, and new references -- all good things!).


 * As for which of these specific NTT positions might be better than others, I am unsure about that. But I do know that the "two-step" path worked for me. If academia is your dream and you didn't get a TT job in your ABD year, stick with it. Perseverance is your ally!


 * >> Comment: If there are only 7 of us here, who is updating the Wiki, and who are we competing against?
 * I believe that many people are just browsing.. I hope we can see more updates.. Waiting is killing me.


 * >>Comment: That the range for number of job apps sent out goes up to 40 made me dry heave... Is that common? I planned on applying to 8 total.   ø_ø
 * >> Comment: I think it really depends on how confident you are with your status. It is so time consuming but I am really not confident with it..
 * It probably depends on your sub-field and the competitiveness of said sub-field. I had 8 publications on the market last year and applied to 68 jobs - and landed in a VAP position. So, yes, I'm applying relatively widely.


 * Sent so many out you lost track:
 * I have become a walking application:
 * I started late in the game for one reason or another:


 * I have sent out 20 so far and I am not backing down. My advisor thought I was applying to too many schools but I was able to convince her that we are in 2016 and not 1986.


 * As someone who is a search chair now and served on numerous search committees, I can tell those commenting above that too many applications is a bad idea. Here's why... How many of these applications are you truly tailoring to the job? When I say tailoring, I do not mean changing your letter by shifting a few plug-in switcharoo words and phrases.  Most of us on search committees see the same thing happening again and again and this includes letters that highlight that the candidate didn't read the ad, doesn't understand the job, college, or department, and letters that are clearly the same one sent to a ton of others places (sometimes listing the wrong place or faculty). All of this gets you knocked out of the pile almost instantly.


 * If you are applying to a teaching school and you wax on about your dissertation for two pages (or more than two paragraphs)- next. If the ad asks for key words and they are not present - next. If you do not attend to every single part of the job ad, especially the preferred - next. If the committee has to dig too much for the information they are seeking - next. Also, please do not tell committees that you are a great fit or that you align perfectly with the call, etc. Let them decide this. Also, do not send more materials than are requested.


 * Let me reiterate: If you are not writing a new, tailored letter for every place, you may be going straight into the NEXT pile. Some advisors suggest blanketing the field with form letters/applications, but I can assure you committees see right through this. Some places may wish to hire you solely based on your institution, a recommendor, or your pub count, but these jobs/departments may be few and far between. Is it worth the chance? I do not think so. Less applications that are more tailored and relate to the job call are always going to serve you better than more. Departments want to know that you have researched them thoroughly. Showing anything less is a waste of your time and a disservice to your process/potential.


 * New comment re: the above: As a new assistant prof, I think that the comments above are spot-on. Here's the thing, tho: In this market, candidates need to both apply widely and thoroughly (i.e. customize every app). You need to embrace the challenge of putting in the time to customize 30-60 apps if you want to have your best shot of landing a job. It really doesn't take that long to research a school/dept and then figure out how to address the ad in that context. It just needs to be treated like a second job or primary co-curricular activity. When I was last on the market, the things I did in my life were teaching, writing, applying, and exercise. The leftover scraps of time were spent with my partner :).


 * Re: Tailoring Applications - Been in this game a very long time (30+ years). I spend several hours with each school figuring out what they need and what classes they are looking to cover, etc. The major issue is that every job description may as well have been copied and pasted. When you say committees see right through a copy/paste letter, why would you think we can't tell the same from job postings? If you would like better, more tailored applications, give a little more information in your call. Half the ones I've seen will just say "assistant in digital media." And that's it. I can't tell what is needed for a position description like that. Let's all work together on making both our calls for positions and our letters tailored to needs. It doesn't help that hires are often completely antithetical to what the original call of many jobs are.


 * Re: Comment above: In many, if not most cases, HR departments dictate what programs can do in regard to writing job advertisements. Therefore, it requires applicants to take some extra steps like looking at who is teaching what, where faculty expertise lies, curriculum gaps, concentration areas, and so on as you mention. If someone writes in a letter that says, "I look forward to teaching graduate students," in an undergraduate-only department, the department knows the person didn't take the time you do. I think you would be suprised at how many people are not putting in any time before sending out applications. If a department gets too specific, it can eliminate the majority of the applicants.
