Here is Lucy’s revised CV. She’s had a busy fall, having been on the road for three weeks, and trying to apply for jobs, meet with dissertation advisers, and deliver conference papers. We think her revised vita is quite strong. Since we first received her application materials, the job list in her field has come out. She’s mentioned to us that the tenure-track market for Asian art positions is good this year, and she is excited about her prospects.
As for her résumé, Lucy agrees that it needs to be tailored to particular jobs, and she did a great job of expanding some of the entries on the current version of the document. We wish her the best of luck in her job search.
