I was wondering about your own perceptions of job market etiquette, specifically a couple of issues:

1. Should a PhD candidate accept an invitation to fly out if he has absolutely no intention of ever accepting an offer that is made? It is one thing to do multiple flyouts to have some bargaining power, but presumably one has a nonzero probability of accepting any offer.

2. Should a PhD candidate hold a grudge for not being invited for a flyout because he is too good, i.e., the department does not think he would accept an offer?

This stuff has come up and it seems not everyone thinks the same way…

It’s that time of the year again, when graduate students who are in their final year are getting ready to go on the job market. Because going on the job market is a harrowing experience for most people, I thought I should help job-market candidates by sharing my advice.

Going on the job market is a harrowing experience, however, so I thought I should help job-market candidates by sharing my advice.

The next installment will be posted in early 2015 and will cover on-campus interviews.
