so jp, give us the low down on the interview please. what happened? did the committee fight with each other during the interview? (i once had that happen. it was hysterical.)
Funnily enough, their Skype account ended up not working, so we just had a conference call interview. lol
I thought the interview went pretty well, though there were one or two things that I wish I would've phrased differently. I still kind of got the impression that they were looking for a candidate with a bit more experience. I'd be a fresh PhD when the job started this summer, and they were looking for particular skills that are acquired after one has been employed in that type of position for several years.
For example, though it was a "hard money" salary, they wanted an experienced grant writer to search for external funding projects. I've been involved with one such project, but I am nowhere near ready to undertake such a project as the lead or on my own. I believe that I got the interview because my CV is decently advanced for a scholar/teacher in my career stage, but I think I'm still lacking the career experience that they were looking for in this particular opening.
I was probably a bit too ambitious in some of the types of positions that I applied to for the upcoming academic year.
However, with the academic job market as it is, you kind of have to take those chances, right?
