  • Lucy Scholar’s Résumé—Before

Lucy has 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.

We’re sorry. Something went wrong.
