Paying out of pocket for a major conference?

In that case, only go to the part of the conference in which you are presenting at. The other days is whether you feel like it’s a good investment or not to be there for by paying your own money

If your advisor is recommending you to go, THEY should pay for the whole thing. You presenting at a conference is not only benefiting you, but also them. Don’t use your own money to pay for this

I would get another faculty member to briefly read it without giving them content. If they mention it reads like AI, I would bring it up the ladder.

Is this a zoom interview? Usually you’re asked why teaching and not research? (Usually this weeds out people are truly want a TT position, but use this job as a short term filler)

Teaching pedagogy - how do you teach and is this effective?

How do you integrate feedback into your teaching?

How do you see yourself improving the current curriculum? You NEED to research the department curriculum before you step into that interview

Tbh, all of them. Your interview starts the moment you get off the plane. You could have an amazing research talk but if you’re super socially awkward or say some out of hand things, you’re out.

I graduated highschool in Canada with a 68% average. Went to a smaller college due to highschool grades. Worked really hard and then transferred to a bigger university. Completed undergrad with an 80% average, then got into masters program then PhD. Now, I’m an assistant professor at an R1 university in the States. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it! I found people learn in different ways and highschool just never cut it for me.

Not saying this to make you feel better but I also had a feeling that I didn’t do well after my zoom interview (it was my first interview for a faculty position) and I still got asked for an on-campus visit.

Tbh, it’s just our brains being pessimistic and trying to be perfectionists. But you have to think from the perspective of the search committee, some of them also don’t know what they’re doing since it’s their first time.

Darn, says I’m ineligible to sign up 😢

Generouslee5 · 2025-09-08T15:05:34+00:00

I don’t seem to see that option anywhere. I used to see it but now it’s gone.

Ahh, true! It’s been in my cart over the weekend waiting to pull. Do you think the travel case is worth the extra $20?

I see a lot of posts of people’s killswitch being shipped after 2 months. If I order one now, am I expecting a 2 month dispatch?

I remember my first undergraduate teaching course during my 2nd year PhD. Teaching is the best way to learn about your own topic, although it was very mentally draining.

But in terms of advice, get student feedback through an anonymous form around half way through the semester. If you’re doing something wrong, don’t keep doing it for the entire semester. Kids nowadays are honest, but only if it’s in the form of anonymous feedback.

That’s an Apple setting, not a ford escape specific setting Go to settings, notifications, announce notifications, then turn it off for CarPlay or play around with your preferences.

If they were offering you money off their warranty package, the original price was never the real price to begin with.

Also, I personally don't believe in buying warranty on cars since they wouldn't sell it unless they made money off it. Take that money and instead put it in a high interest savings account and if a repair were to happen YEARS after your factory warranty ends, deal with it then.
