So I ended up doing a phone interview on Friday. I think it went pretty well considering the circumstances. There was one major disadvantage to not being on site and that was the "boating practicum" portion of the interview/evaluation. Obviously I couldn't show them exceptional skills at driving a motor boat over the phone...they'll just have to believe me.

Today I "interviewed" via telephone for a tenure track faculty position at a branch of a state university system. I'll leave the name unsaid for now just in case some one from said university is looking up dirt (like poor spelling, or early twenty's binge drinking tendencies) on potential interviewees. Anyway this branch is like the UNC-Asheville of the UNC system, or the University of Missouri - Kansas City of the MU system. I am pretty excited to have made it this far in the application cycle for this job. It really gives me confidence that one day after a year or two of post-doc-ing that I actually will be able to land a permanent tenure track faculty position.

Nothing much funny or insightful here today. I just decided to brag a little about all of my job interviews. Lesson learned Kids: If you go to college for 11 years you might be eligible for the job you really want after two more years of kind of going to college.
