I am told to ‘lower my expectations’ and seek roles in admin and retail, which I don’t want to. Do I have any hope of gaining work in academia?
Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy’s own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
I am 39 and have recently completed a PhD which I undertook with the aim of developing a career as a university lecturer. My academic work has been well-respected, and I was complimented particularly on my hard-working attitude and for my writing and teaching skills. I have since applied for numerous post-doc jobs – and to related jobs outside of academia – yet have never even been invited to interview.
