The Superlinguo Linguist Job Interviews master list

This is the fourth year I’ve been running the Linguist Jobs Interview series. There are now over 40 interviews to date, with people who studied linguistics - be it a single undergraduate subject or a full PhD - and then gone on to careers outside of academia.

Although I ask the same questions each time, I get very different answers. For some people, linguistics is directly applicable to their daily work, while others find that the general skills they learnt can transfer to other careers.

I update this list at least once a year. For newer interviews, you can browse the Linguistics Jobs tag on the blog!

I just submitted my application for graduate school and I’m so relieved.

The phrase “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone” can apply to terrible things too. You may not realize the amount of pain, depression, or abuse you are living through until you experience what life can be without it

Don’t worry. Start now. Get up, take a few deep breaths, stretch, count to ten with your eyes closed. Then take out your books and a notebook and a pen. Get on with it. Start reading, annotating, take down your notes. If you feel your focus faltering, sit back, take a few deep breaths, walk around a bit, get back to your books. It’s never too late.

ah yes, my favourite foreign language feel, “I know what all of those words mean individually but not together like that”

Estoy en el coche de mi mamá,

escoba escoba,

conseguir fuera me coche

“You are the love of my life,

without you,

I am incomplete” 

Allow yourself to be a beginner. No one starts off being excellent.
