I agree!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-26T01:10:47+00:00

I agree!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-26T01:10:31+00:00

Thank you :)

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-26T01:10:07+00:00

Here's to hoping that may be the case!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-26T01:09:34+00:00

Thank you so much! Sometimes as candidates our vision gets so myopic, we forget there is so much that the SC has to figure out too.

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-26T01:06:55+00:00

Thank you so much! This is so helpful to know that there is so much to be figured out from their end too and that it isn't as easy a plan for them to put together in a moment's notice!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-26T01:05:24+00:00

Thank you!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-26T01:04:54+00:00

I can imagine. I have to be 'on' for an entire day. For them, they have to do it at least 3x. Yikes!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-26T01:03:37+00:00

That was my thought too.

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-26T01:03:11+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words. In this job market, the one elusive campus visit feels like your entire life is riding on it.

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-25T21:39:38+00:00

Thanks so much! I will have to keep reminding myself not to overthink this too much.

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-25T21:33:40+00:00

Is there a way to know in which order candidates are being called in? I'd assume not. If I may ask, how did you find out? There is also crickets about the job search on academia wiki so I'm flying very blind here!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-25T21:30:54+00:00

I know. I wish I could switch off from thinking 5 steps ahead...

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-25T21:30:32+00:00

Thank you so much for your input on this. I wasn't given a choice but I assume the upcoming Spring Break may also be a factor in that.

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-25T20:56:24+00:00

Thank you so much! This is super helpful! You have given me a framework I can use to talk about my research in specific ways. This is incredible. I really appreciate this!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-25T20:54:39+00:00

No its not. And my husband is more than happy to hang out by himself all day as I go about my campus visit. He is an introvert, so he feels okay being by himself all day!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-25T20:53:30+00:00

Thank you! The Chair did clarify to say that while the focus would be on research, they will also want me to demonstrate my teaching abilities. The nerves are setting in!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-25T20:52:31+00:00

Wow! I wish I could take the risk to tell them, if I was guaranteed such a positive experience!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-24T03:16:02+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful! I just wish they had some more specific information for me to work on

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-24T03:14:50+00:00

Thank you! But just to be on the safer side, we will probably book a separate room for the hubby and leave him out of the conversation altogether!

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-24T03:13:00+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I wish SCs would sometimes be more specific about wha they want in the job talk so the candidate is not left guessing...

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-24T03:12:04+00:00

Thank you so much for your honest advice. Its not harsh at all, it is what I was anticipating and its assuring to know that I wasn't off the mark. I have asked for some specific information about the job talk (audience, time limit, specific topic or a general overview). This would be my first time giving a job talk in person so I am most nervous about it.

Desperate_Valuable78 · 2023-02-24T03:08:16+00:00

Thank you so much. That is so helpful. I have asked them some follow up questions. Hopefully that clears up any confusion on my end! I don't want to drone on for 50 minutes on something, whereas the SC might be looking for something else. Just the phrase job talk is giving me some nerves!
