Abstract
In recent years, applicants for academic psychology jobs have increasingly exceeded available jobs, and projections indicate this trend will worsen over the decade. A survey of applicants and employers using the Eastern Psychological Association Placement Service in 1974 was conducted to learn more about characteristics of applicants and employers and of the search procedures they use. Descriptive data are reported and suggestions are offered for improving the placement procedure.Keywords
