General Discussion, Questions, and Inquiries
'''I am going on the market for the second time but haven't made much progress on my dissertation since last year. About half way through. Since there isn't much to discuss in terms of my progress, should I still ask for new letters from my recommenders or could I use the ones from last year? I'm curious if anyone else has faced this dilemma before and/or is currently in the same situation. Thank you! (10 September)'''


 * A: I would always ask for new letters, even if nothing is added but a new date. Otherwise you're commmunicating to search committees either that your recommenders don't know your current progress, or that there is some problem that is keeping you from asking, or them from being willing to update their letters.


 * A2: I agree with the above. Search committees do pay attention to the date. If they are really interested in you they might ask for an updated letter but better to avoid complications.
 * A3: If last year was unsuccessful, you might also consider that you different materials. While you may have not made TONS of progress, you surely have made some.  Also, these recommenders may speak to other things that you have done in the interim, papers that you have delivered/published, classes you have taught, service to the department you have carried out, etc. That's why it is always important to furnish them with an updated cv and signal to them what they may want to address.
 * The above is all good advice. Always get new letters. In my expeirence, recommenders do not speak on your year-to-year progress. They usually say something like: "This dissertation is the best; defense is this spring!" In fact, this could be a chance to come up with a plan of action with your advisor both to help you advance and also to give your writers something concrete to say on the dissertation and its inevitable/imminentconclusion. Remember: the best dissertation is a finished dissertation. Also: a dissertation is just a dissertation, even the best one. But sometimes they make fine books. Finish this up and look forward to that instead.
