But I think my PhD institution is about to offer me a TT job. After all I have been hanging around for five years!

Zharkov is right.  Quit deluding yourself, and apply for the damn job.  And then read Getting to Yes.

If you don't have any confidence in your package, no one else will either.  Apply for the damn job.

so you are saying I shouldn't send a s/text of my package to the SC?

It's a freaking job, not a tattoo.  You don't have to keep it for life. Apply for the damn job.

But Systeme_D, I come from a top-tier, gold-plated R1. I would be ashamed to work anywhere my platinum pedigree would not be suitably worshiped appreciated.

Look, you gold-plated snowflake, you can't eat a platinum pedigree, or pay the rent with a diploma from a fancy-pants university.

Just apply for the damn job.

(You can skip applying for the one at my place, though, sweetums.  We'd eat you alive.)

But, but... Systeme_d, I have car payments and credit card bills and my fiance' lives overseas and is applying for a visa and my cat needs braces, and this job only pays $50,000 a year.

50k a year is better than zip, no?

Apply for the damn job.    And tell your fiancé and your cat to get a damn job, too.  Slackers.

But systeme_d, I can't accept a job unless I get spousal hires. Yes, hires. I'm polygamous, and I'm married to three of the other students from my program.

But Ironhead But systeme_d_, the school is in a small town with no grocery store or restaurant that caters to my ethnic group.  Do you expect me to subsist on hot dogs and cheese nachos?
