Jonathan Gray wrote a collection of excellent essays recently on his blog, http://www.extratextual.tv/, entitled The Media Studies Job Market. Currently he has written nine parts, and I highly recommend reading them!

Me again,
I forgot to mention that I'm doing a PhD in Communication and my focus is games studies and gender.

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
