[Air-L] Looking at job postings: Any advice?

[Christine Daviault]

Hi everyone,

I have been following everybody's answer to Devin's question about  
Graduate programs for "internet studies" and I have found them very  
interesting from a PhD student perspective as well. So let me ask you  
all the following question: What would be your advice for a PhD  
candidate starting to look at job postings for next year? How can I  
find a position that fits or should I jump at any opportunity? How can  
I distinguish myself? What are universities looking for in general?

Thank you all in advance,

Christine
