writingmonicker OP , 6 months ago @academicchatter @sociology Things I didn't realize about the #AcademicJobMarket: Confidence is so crucial but so difficult to maintain. I didn't expect to be so shaken during this process. It's grueling. And I'm not sure if I could have made the process any better. What snapped me out of the worst period of self-doubt was scheduling my first campus visit. No more time for overthinking. This point is messy because I'm still making sense of it, but find ways to preserve your confidence.
