Florida Atlantic U due 11/7 I'm confused, since letter and CV were requested up front. Could you explain the circumstances of your directions for uploading letter and cv to HR website?
 * Ack. by snail mail (11/15) and directions for uploading letter and cv to Human Resources Dept. website
 * Sure thing. I received a letter saying that even though I had already sent letter and cv to the search committee, I would also need to upload it to the HR Website. This letter also stated, quite specifically, that if I hadn't received word by December 16th I could safely assume that the committee had found candidates more suited to their needs. (Btw, the letter provided the exact URL for the HR website).

Thanks for the info.

Univ. of South Carolina, Beaufort (19th & 20th) Review begins Nov. 10
 * 10/28: this job is no longer listed on the JIL, CHE, higheredjobs.com, or USCB's HR site. Is the search cancelled?
 * I noticed the same thing. If you search for jobs on USCB's HR site, you find nothing. I'm getting worried that the tanking economy is making quick work of our job possibilities.
 * I received an acknowledgement last week that didn't mention anything about it being cancelled.
 * So confusing, because now (10/29) you can't even apply for the job as it's no longer listed on their HR site, and the ad requires online apps! USC Central HR says it's probably canceled, but I can't get a human on the phone at USC-Beaufort to confirm.
 * Ok- I just checked the status of my app and it says "on hold for hiring Freeze."
 * UPDATE: Search reopened per email from SCC.

Univ. of South Carolina, Salkehatchie (Late British, African American, or Generalist) Review begins Oct. 26
 * This job isn't listed on the USCB's HR site? Has it, like the Beaufort job, been put on hold for hiring freeze?
