Is anyone else out there doing the job search thing this year?? I never suspected that it could and would be this stressful. I must say that I am at my wits end. The very idea of uprooting my life and moving to goodness knows where (but only if the University of Goodness Knows Where will hire me) is scary!

I am not job searching but my husband is - he's in software so we may move but not likely - we are happy here, love the house etc so would only move if a great job overseas comes up and even then it has to be great - we have 2 toddlers so moving far away can be hard on the grandparents and the friends, not to mention the kids. Good Luck! One thing he is trying to do is pick the boss he wants to work for not just take a job, easier to say then to do I know!

I too am job searching, well, kind of. I am searching for a post-doctoral position in my field (Clinical Psychology) where I am required to complete an additional 2,000 hours to get my license. I am currently tyring to set something up, but I am determined to stay within my field (Pediatric Neuropsychology). The competition is very fierce and many professional psychologists feel threatened by new graduates and are unwilling to help out. Is this common, or is it specialized within the field of Psychology?

I'm on the job search this year as well. I'm not so afraid of the moving
aspect, although I'm not looking forward to it. I'm hoping that my s.o. will
move with me, but we haven't really talked about it. The actual search
process is pretty stressful, having to get your cv's, writing samples,
etc. together, but like the PhD process in general, I guess, you have
to take it one day at a time.
