  On Staff: A Practical Guide to Starting Your Career in a University Music Department is a reviewed book published by one of the most prestigious publishers in the world, Oxford University Press. This book is a culmination of five years of writing and revision along with years of research and personal experiences. The book has been heralded as one of the most significant publications of its kind in the market today. Dr. Rob Cutietta, Dean of the USC Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California, said, "This book is your guiding star from starting with the process of looking for a college position all the way through getting hired and succeeding once hired. Dr. Hamann anticipates and answers the questions the person looking for a college position may and even know to ask until it is too late . . . like during the interview with the dean!" Dr. William I Bauer, Professor at the University of Florida, states "On Staff provides clear, concise, and comprehensive information for individuals seeking collegiate music faculty positions. Valuable insights on locating openings, application materials, interviewing, negotiating contracts, and successfully starting a new job are provided. It is a must have text for doctoral students, graduate student advisors, and early career professionals!"
