Hello friends! I’m popping in today with an exciting new project I’ve been working on: a downloadable guide to dressing on the academic job market. Get a sneak peek or add it to your cart below!
Why make a guide: The academic job market is hard enough. The packing part shouldn’t be stressful. Yet, as a woman, it is. Deciding what to wear to an academic job interview as a female professor takes a lot of work. Further, there’s how to source all your outfit ideas. I remember so vividly the day I frantically scrolled Poshmark looking for professor interview suits!
There’s a lot of advice about dressing for the job market on this section of my blog. But I wanted to put together something a bit more organized. So, I created something you can download, print, and use to make your shopping and packing plan of attack.
What’s inside: Because the job market planning is so challenging, I tried to give you as many goodies as I could in a concise PDF! Inside you’ll find:
- A sample packing list, plus a spot for you to draft your own.
- A wardrobe gap identifier where you can conduct a needs assessment before shopping.
- Advice on where to find professional clothing, including shoppable links in sizes 0-3X, petite and tall sizes.
- Advice for picking a professional bag, shoes, and shirts.
- Interview outfit ideas with pants and skirts.
Throughout, you’ll find packing hacks and style tricks I wish I had known a lot sooner– everything from how to avoid nervous sweat to securing gaping button downs! You’ll be ready to pack your work bag and think about everything but your clothes during the interview process.
I hope this guide is helpful to you if you are on the academic job market or looking for professor jobs in higher education this year.
