And so it begins

C is in the middle of applying for jobs yet again. His field's annual conference takes place next month, so he is obsessed with checking his email, checking our voice mail, and checking the mail. He has applied for 61 jobs, some of which are directly in his field but most of which are in his general time period. He also applied for a number of generalist positions. Thus far he has 4 interviews scheduled for the conference. This number is promising because the conference is over 4 weeks away, and most of the schools he applied to are just now reviewing applications. He is hoping for 8 to 10 interviews; I keep reminding him that he only needs one so long as that one ends with an offer.
