Sarah Jacobson in the Southern Economic Journal 81(3):843-863, January 2015:
This article conveys information and advice about the job market process for candidates completing their PhDs in economics in the United States. I discuss the mechanics of the job market process in great detail, from the preparatory work before the market starts to the steps after accepting an offer. Throughout, I answer common job market-related questions and discuss ways to make the process more manageable and less stressful. The focus is on students from non-top-tier universities, although the advice applies equally well to students from top schools.
