Some Useful Stuff for Applying for Jobs

This page contains information for applying for jobs mentioned in the GSO's "Mechanics of Applying for Jobs" workshop. It's biased towards academic positions for doctoral candidates (since that's what we knew best). If you have suggestions of things that might also be helpful, get in touch with one of the GSO board or the graduate advisor.
