Ph.D.'s are used to shelling out tens of thousands of dollars in the name of education. But earning the top graduate degree doesn't mean their spending has come to an end. An industry designed to help aspiring academics manage the job-application process and land tenure-track jobs is growing, and reaping the benefits of a tight market in many disciplines. New Ph.D.'s have long had to set aside money to mail applications and travel to scholarly conferences. But now their job-hunting tabs also include the cost of new services, like digital storage for recommendation letters, research statements, and other documents. Graduates' costs are growing, too, as they stay on the market longer. Old costs, like those for conferences, are compounding, while the costs of new products, services, and fees are adding up. In the 2012 hiring season, applicants for faculty positions at some art programs, like Colorado State's and Temple University's Tyler School of Art, were charged fees of $10 to $15 to transmit digital files of their creative materials through SlideRoom, a virtual art portal that the institutions insisted candidates use. The escalating number of job applications submitted by many Ph.D.'s is making it difficult for advisers to keep up with writing reference letters. Advisers and students are increasingly turning to private companies to help them manage the growing volume of documents. Interfolio, which is now commonly used, charges $19 for a one-year plan, or up to $57 for five years, to upload and store application documents, like CVs, cover letters, teaching statements, and reference letters. Applicants then pay the company a fee to deliver each document they need. The costs vary, from as low as $6 per application for delivery by e-mail or domestic mail and up to $45 for delivery by international mail. Graduate students and new Ph.D.'s are also paying money for job-seeking advice and for personally tailored feedback beyond what they get as part of their graduate programs or from their advisers.
