Here is a link to an informal (yet lengthy) essay about my job search experience as a Mathematics Ph.D. Candidate. I describe just about all my ups and downs and uncertainties of the process. I hope some people will find this webpage helpful for their own future experiences. -R. Philip Grizzard, Ph.D. (as of 4 days ago!)

on the AZ job. I think that will be a 1st class postdoc at an interesting dept. and the Tucson environment will be potentially fascinating. Make the most of it and go for what you really want when you finish.

It was an interesting read and I'm glad you wrote it.
One question: if you had to do it again would you send out as many applicaions?
Enjoy your teaching postdoc!
