Professor R. Karl Rethmeyer has compiled this manual as a guide for Ph.D. students either entering the job market or changing career paths. Included in this collection is his own Academic Job Market Portfolio along with a “primer” reflecting his personal experiences. In addition, there is a handbook and reading from other sources which lends another voice to these issues.
