A new essay of mine was published: David D. Perlmutter. "Job Searching on the Job." Chronicle of Higher Education, October 23, 2009. [online]. It's mostly about the tactics of looking for a new job while already on the tenure track and asks: Whom should you tell about your job search, whom shouldn't you tell, how, and why?

Another essay in my "P&T Confidential" column appeared. David D. Perlmutter. "Avoiding a 'Nuclear Veto' in Hiring." Chronicle of Higher Education, December 3, 2009. It's about what I call the "nuclear veto" in hiring. You as a candidate may write or speak tens of thousands of words in your job-application materials, interviews, and presentations; 99.9 percent of your comments may find a favorable response with members of the hiring committee. But if you make one remark that hits a sour note, is misinterpreted, offends someone, or upsets some pet idea or theory, that single misstep can be fatal to your hiring…what can you do about it?

A quote from me was used on the A.Word.A.Day site and list to illustrate the meaning of the word sacerdotal on January 11, 2010. USAGE: "My student came from a country where professors hold a sacerdotal status and so took my jest as a brushoff." From: David D Perlmutter; Are You A Good Protege?; Chronicle of Higher Education (Washington, DC); Apr 18, 2008.
