All of those contacts will remember your social behavior, not anything professional about you. EVERYTHING you do counts during any job-related contact. Since interviews take place at AHA you would be better off considering the entire conference as one long interview and that shouldn't include partying the way most people party. How can it enhance your reputation as a scholar to be invited to view Dillinger's penis (whether you accept or decline the invitation). It shows you are not being taken seriously. Partying is for people who already have jobs -- not those trying to get one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-47851863084377701022008-01-01T14:22:00.000-05:002008-01-01T14:22:00.000-05:00What good advice, too, for the MLA (or, I'd imagin...What good advice, too, for the MLA (or, I'd imagine, most professional conferences)--and thanks as always for the name-check & kind words. <BR/><BR/>I've a good friend who's a literaray scholar partnered with a historian, and I have to admit to being somewhat jealous that she gets to go to <I>both</I> conferences.Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.com
