There are academic jobs out there, full-time ones even, and both temporary and tenure track ones. It is challenging to get one, but not impossible. Of course the competition is very fierce, and there are often many many many applications for any full time (even sometimes part time) position. But there are a lot of things you should know, and things you can do, to help you when you go on the job market. Honest. And things that can sink your application like a lead weight.
No matter where you are in academic life, from an undergraduate student to a Ph.D. recipient (or an ABD*) to someone who has been out of the academic grind for a while and wants to go back, it can be helpful to hear from someone on the other side. I have done those applications and I have served on a whole bunch of several search committees. Follow me below the orange board of the Game of Life for more.
*ABD stands for "All But Dissertation," and can mean everything from someone is scheduled to defend the dissertation in a month, or the person has just started to write and has several years to go, to someone who has been writing so long while other things have come up, and probably may not ever finish. I was hired "ABD" for a non-tenure track position, and finishing was a hard slog. I have known others who never finished once they started to teach full time.
