ONE ON ONE CAREER CONSULTING

$350

****

Reduced Rate for Pandemic

Normally $400. During this crisis I am opening advising/consulting on any quandaries related to the academic career, including publication plans, departmental politics, dealing with Imposter Syndrome or writers block, tenure anxieties, job market struggles, exit strategizing, or the decision to leave academia entirely. There are no wrong ideas or bad questions! You can get help in two ways: a 1 hour skype consult, or alternatively,  a 5-email exchange consult. Both are $350

I prefer all career consulting clients to do at least one document edit with me first (either CV or CL) so that I have a holistic knowledge of your record before starting. The rationale for this is twofold:  on the one hand, I get to know your record quickly, so I can advise you better. And on the other, clients tend to find the editing process illuminating in itself, and you will see many basic questions answered by the editing process (and get a finished doc out of it), allowing us to devote the 5 questions to more “advanced” issues.  A job doc is $180, so this does represent an additional expense, and I’ll be happy to consider exceptions to this for financial reasons. Feel free to email me at gettenure@gmail.com with any questions about the consulting/advising process.

LIMITED TIME ONLY

**Feb-June 2021**

CV Advance Strategizing Session: 

$200    $150

Rate reduced due to COVID

What you do in the next six months is critical for your competitiveness on next year’s market.  In this short-term service, I will examine and evaluate your CV for any gaps, weaknesses or red flags, and help you create a plan to remedy them in time for the Fall 2021 academic job market.  Covers two email exchanges.

I promise to ALSO tell you if I think you should bail ASAP and seek non-academic work, which is my advice to all PhDs at this juncture anyway. While we can’t cover in-depth post-ac advising in this format, it can serve as a jumping off point for you.

**Please note that after you purchase this service you must email me, Karen, at gettenure@gmail.com to set a date on the calendar for the work to begin. I also require that you read Part I of my book prior to our work, so we have a shared foundation about the conditions of the academic job market.
