The MLA Guide to the Job Search

by Modern Language Association, Jack H. Schuster

For over two decades graduate students--more than 25,000 of them--have relied on the Modern Language Association's guide for job seekers in the academic market. Updated and greatly expanded, The MLA Guide to the Job Search offers students invaluable advice on seeking jobs at two- and four-year colleges and universities, as well as outside the academy. It suggests when to start looking, how to begin, where to apply, whom to ask for letters of reference, which materials to include in a dossier, and what to expect from interviews and campus visits.

This one is surprisingly bland and design-less. It also exhibits a level of job OCD that I can't get on board with, i.e. the charts and graphs at the back. Maybe someone, somewhere needs this kind of minutiae but I'd rather focus on my job than the statistics of whether I can get a job in Ohio as a Spanish instructor.
