“…Van-Haitsma and Ceraso (2017) recommended the use of horizontal (or peer) mentoring to support fellow graduate students on the job market. And Turner (2018) suggested that extended rhetorical training in public speaking and delivery could reduce applicants' anxiety during interviews and job talks. In addition to those approaches, we can examine the rhetorical ecologies and artifacts of the job-search process and thereby explore the myriad ways that negative affect can be built and reinforced through communicative acts.…”

For many, the academic job-search process involves experiencing rejection, self-doubt, and depression. And a common form of communication during this process—job-refusal letters—can reinforce these negative experiences. This article uses rhetorical genre analysis to study 131 academic job-refusal letters and the applicants’ perceptions of these letters. First it constructs a model of the common genre moves in the sample of letters, giving specific examples of variation in these moves. Then it correlates these moves with the applicants’ perceptions of the letters they received, analyzing the results for statistically significant variations in patterns of applicant perceptions. Based on these analyses, the author argues that the most typified genre moves do not contribute to applicants’ feeling valued. Instead, letters building goodwill through less typified moves and language are often more effective. Ultimately, he argues that we can make the job-search process more humane by attending to the specifics of the full range of interactions between applicants and institutions.
