Announcing the AMA Transitions Guide for Job Market Prep

AMA_Transitions_GuideDocSIG is pleased to announce a brand new publication in collaboration with the American Marketing Association and 21 great marketing scholars.

AMA Transitions Guide: Navigating the Progression from Doctoral Student to Marketing Professor is a resource designed to provide an overview of the traditional job preparation and placement process in marketing. It includes codified standard practices (and best practices) that address areas such as:

    • Job search
    • C.V. and packet organization
    • Summer AMA interviews
    • Fly-outs and research presentations
