Derek Lowe has a link to a rather amusing inadvertent addition to a paper, John Spevacek has noted an equally amazing admission, but one that's on purpose. (2nd page, first paragraph)
Tien Nguyen has written a really nice "successful assistant professor candidates talk on their job search" roundtable. Lots of good advice on that one, especially the "get there a night early" tip.
See Arr Oh gets sent some fun pictures, including a rather amusing Austrian "yay chemistry jobs!" poster!

The "neuer Beruf" T-shirt is cute. The Austrian websites behind it, however are directed towards attracting students towards studying chemistry. Aside from a list of Austrian companies, there were no adverts for specific jobs. My glance through that list located one job offer, but that was in the US, not Austria.
ReplyDelete"Get there a night early" is great advice. Taking a crack-of-dawn flight to make it to a morning meeting is a good way to arrive stressed, tired, and possibly late.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that flights have little spare room now for extra passengers or for perturbations due to weather or other problems, so that your flight probably won't be fun in the best-case scenario, and may happen really late in others, this seems like a good idea to me now.
DeleteThanks for the mention!
