This is just a quick note that the APA announced a new Job-Market Mentoring Program today:
The APA Job-Market Mentoring Program, run by the APA Committee on Academic Career Opportunities and Placement, pairs philosophers going on the academic job market with mentors who have recent experience of the market themselves. Its purpose is to make good job-market mentoring more equally available across the discipline. The program is formative: mentors help candidates present themselves well and navigate the process.
Mentors and mentees will meet (over phone, Zoom, or email) several times throughout the market cycle to discuss the mentee’s plans and dossier, for a practice interview, and as otherwise needed. For more on these expectations, see the mentoring program guidance document.
To apply to be a mentee, fill out the Mentee Application form. To apply to be a mentor, fill out the Mentor Application form. Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on August 1.
Looks like it could be a helpful resource!
