Generated a list of six schools that I want to work at and have an application in at five of them. The sixth (University of Texas) has yet to post a job within my target salary range.
Despite knowing no one at one of my target schools and having no personal contacts there, I was able to successful use networking to speak to someone in the department I plan to work at, who knows the current holder of the position, and who answered the major questions I had regarding the position (and, this may be bad to do in the bragging section, but I’d like to brag ON the people who made that possible by putting me in contact with the right people and the right places. Thanks.)
Developed a writing wager that now has four participants, each dedicated to writing a novel. Since each person is a talented writer whose abilities I respect, I am pleased to know that this will provide the world three worthwhile pieces of fiction plus what I will produce.
