My hot take about cover letters on the econ job market is that they matter more than folks realize (esp. anywhere that's not an R1 econ department), BUT with some legwork upfront, you can customize them rather efficiently. How? Templates & good note-taking! (1/4)

Hey #EconTwitter , do you know a senior undergrad looking for their next step after graduation? Might they be seeking improved career opportunities or extra prep for a Ph.D. program? If so, encourage them to apply to @Miami_Econ ’s 1-year MA program! More info below. 🧵 (1/6)

The best part of getting mentioned in the Times was sending it to my grandmother, an avid news consumer. She’s 88, she can text, and she can even tell you what field of econ I work in! 😍

I see where in the phase of the job market where cover letters are trending on ye olde #EconTwitter . Here's some advice I gave in 2021, that I endorse even more strongly after being on a search committee last year!

My hot take about cover letters on the econ job market is that they matter more than folks realize (esp. anywhere that's not an R1 econ department), BUT with some legwork upfront, you can customize them rather efficiently. How? Templates & good note-taking! (1/4)

I'm a little late this year, but still want to give my annual plug for our 1-year @Miami_Econ MA program! We will consider apps until June 1, so if you have a great student whose postgrad plans aren't panning out the way they hoped, send them our way!

It wasn't all fun and games (see: first year micro theory), but overall, @MSUEconomics was a great place to be a PhD student! Learned a ton, made lifelong friends, had really supportive advisors, and landed a job that's a great fit for me.
