Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the 2010 DocSIG "Who Went Where" Survey. The results for the survey can be found by accessing DocSIG’s website: . While you are there, take a moment to check out all of the other resources DocSIG provides you.
In case you did not know, DocSIG is the Doctoral Student Special Interest Group under the ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø’s academic division. Every year, DocSIG conducts the "Who Went Where" Survey, which asks recently hired doctoral candidates and graduates in the marketing discipline to provide information about their job search. While the survey’s goal in its initial years was to inform fellow candidates about the placement of their peers, the survey has grown to provide critical information about job placement and the job search process. It is now considered a benchmark for our field.
For many marketing doctoral students, the job search and hiring experience is a mysterious one. While there will always be many "unknowns," the "Who Went Where" Survey sheds some light on the process, allowing students to rely on the "facts" as opposed to only anecdotal information. How many letters should I send out? Should I have data for my dissertation before going to the market? The survey is designed to help future marketing doctoral candidates answer questions like these.
Thank you very much for supporting DocSIG!
