Forthrightness about career goals?
erinleigh replied to erinleigh's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
Thanks for the advice. I also spoke with a prof from one of the programs I'm looking at, and she said that for that particular program, non-teaching professional goals were not atypical. -
I am interested in editing at an academic publishing house and have discovered that you essentially need an advanced degree to be considered. I had excellent undergraduate grades (3.96/4.0) and GRE scores (169 verbal and 168 quantitative), and I'm confident that I will have good LORs as well. However, I've been told that you will be ignored/dismissed if you state that you aren't interested in being a professor. Any insight into that? I'm not really sure what to do with my SOP . . . the options seem to be (1) be completely forthcoming about my career goals, (2) essentially lie and say I want to be a professor, or (3) just omit any mention of career goals. Not really sure what to do . . .

I graduated 7th out of 200-some students. Should I include that on my CV? It seems advantageous to include it (or at the very least, not disadvantageous), but I haven't seen it on any other CVs. Thoughts?
