How do faculty search committees evaluate candidates for faculty or post-doc positions? How do faculty search committees evaluate candidates  for faculty or post-doc positions?


I am a PhD student
I found that there is no fixed algorithm to judge a journal.
But candidates publish in various journals in their PhD.

How will a researcher know where to publish his PhD so that he can get a Post-Doc or faculty position?

If a candidate does not understand which journal is good/average/bad,how will one decide where to publish?

This question is somewhat related to How are journals evaluated?

NOTE:I am in search of a journal for my first ever manuscript.So I am asking a lot of questions,sorry for that
Belive it or not, search committees actually read/skim your articles (not all of them, but some of them) and judge the work and not where it was published. I try and look at least one publication in a specialist journal from each position the candidate had and one or two articles from journals with a broader readership (aka high impact) if there are any. I never, and do not know anyone that does, try and rank papers/journals and pit one candidate's publication history against another. It is a much more holistic process than that.
