Abstract

The notes start with a description of the market for PhDs in economics and finance. Then follows some suggestions and comments on an important part of the academic market, the job‐market paper – its nature and the pros and cons of co‐authorship. Finally, I discuss the role of the oral presentation, also important for a job in academe, as well as in other areas.
