The location of other information on this site should be fairly obvious from the navigation bar above. There is also a binder in Tanner library with information about the job market and sample CVs. A copy of The Academic Job Search Handbook is also on reserve. This book contains useful information about writing CVs. A more recent edition of this book is available from Amazon (and has been requested for Tanner).
