I know I've mentioned this on here before, but since it's that time of year again: if you or someone you love is going on the job market and if you have about twenty bucks to spare, or even if you don't, you should probably order a copy of this book (amazon link with five stars and great reviews here). When I was on the market fresh out of grad school, this book wasn't out, but I was lucky enough to be working with its author for my job search.
And as a nice complement, I point MLA-ers to my frolleague's highlarious web videos, 9 interviews.
