 * UC Berkeley (12/13) e-mail (x5)
 * St.Edwards University 12/13 (x3)  Q: Is this literature or linguistics?
 * Lawrence University 12/12 (x4) 12/14 (x1)
 * Holy Cross 12/12 x3 - Did they email you today? Yes
 * Texas A&M (12/11) x2 Q: Which A&M campus? There are several in Texas. A: College Station
 * Texas Christian (12/11) x4 They only offered one option for the interview time, which doesn't work with my arrival time. They were willing to reschedule, though. (I was updating this and I don't know where everything else went or why it disappeared. Not intentional, and yes, it's important to keep cool when writing emails to these committtees - brief summary of what was here)
 * Idaho State (12/8) x 4
 * UC Santa Cruz (12/4) x2 Q: is this for the Brazil Studies position or the Spanish American lit position? A: Latin American Literatures and Cultures position. A. You'll find updates on the Latin American Studies position with a Focus on Brazil on the Latin American History wikia page. Q: phone or email?
 * Gettysburg College (12/4)- Phone x5
 * Sewanee - The University of the South (12/3) emailed to set up interview time at MLA,  x 4 Q1: Which position? They had two listed this year. A: for me it is the "South-American Literature and Culture" with "particular strength in film, visual culture, and gender-based criticism" UPDATE (12/7): offered Skype option. A: The U. of the South's Spanish department has a visiting professor whose research and teaching interests are a lot like what they are "looking for", are we wasting our time here? A2. Another one? Yo creo que todas estas prácticas deshonestas deberían ser denunciadas con un buen abogado. Los puestos de VAP se han convertido en fuente de ahorro para los departamentos y luego en fuente de chanchulleo. Estoy pensando en presentar cargos una vez se resuelva el proceso. A3: A question just occurred to me regarding the matter of the possible inside candidate-- if this were the case, why would the university waste time and money sending people to do interviews at MLA? Could this give us hope that we have a decent chance at the job? It seems like a good sign. Last year they did Skype interviews for a similar job, this year it's MLA.

 * Lake Forest College (12/8): (x4) phone call to request Skype interview Q: Today? Was the deadline on Saturday? A: Yes, it was. That was fast. They're hiring 2 positions though, so this could be a hard one to track. A2: Received a call 12/9, for an interview 12/10. Q: Those that have been contacted, are you lit or ling? Thanks. A: Lit, Peninsular.
 * Wake Forest University (12/8), e-mail to request Skype interview. (x3) Q: Which position is this for? A: 18th/19th Spanish/Spanish American Literature and visual cultures. A: Thanks! (12/11): I just got an outomated email from Interfolio with an udpate on their search stating that they will be contacting candidates for a skype interview. A3: same, status update email saying Skype interviews will scheduled for mid-January. Does this mean they are sending out interview invitations in waves? It's a strange email.
 * Ball State University (12/8), email to request Skype interview. Q: Which position? A: LA Lit
 * University of North Carolina, Asheville (12/4) x6
 * Bucknell University (12/7)

 * Auburn University (12/7)- literature- phone call to request phone interview. (x2) Phone or Skype interview? Just asking because phone interviews are not common. Thanks!
 * Pittsburgh (12/4) Email to request phone interview. Q: Is this for UPitt? The deadline for that post was on Dec. 1st. If it is, it's quite impressive how quickly the search committee went through all of the applications. A: Send them an acknowledgement for their promptness. R: I'd rather acknowledge the uncollegiate response to a legitimate question that aimed to probe the suspicious ways in which search committees and job searches are conducted. The question was not a reflection on the candidates, who are, after all, in equally precarious positions. In any case, I wish you the best of luck. You will need it with that attitude. R: I too was wondering if it was U Pitt and checking MLA, it's the only option for Spanish, but the post is listed as expiring on Nov. 27th...So, as you point out, they may have made decisions well before the listed Dec. 1 deadline. R:  It is perfectly acceptable for universities to start sorting applications before deadlines, which is a separate situation from sorting applications or making decisions when the job post explicitly states "review of applications will be begin on..." When a date is given for when applications will no longer be accepted, as with UPitt, you should read that to mean "we are currently reviewing applications and will continue to do so until XXX date". Q: Is this for the linguistics or Mexican Studies position?
 * Rutgers University (12/4)  Heritage Spanish - New Brunswick Campus

A: Chronicle or Higher Ed jobs-- don't remember which, but it wasn't in the MLA list. Q2: Is this the Classical Languages position? A: No. Spanish/English translation/Spanish for the professions.
 * University of South Alabama (11/30): email to request phone interview  (x3). Q: Was it today? They moved fast considering their deadline! A: it will be this week Q: Was it about a preliminary interview over the phone to decide about MLA? A: Yes, it turns out it was just that, to determine who to meet at MLA.Q: Do you think they want to know if we speak English/Spanish? A: Yes, I have the feeling it's to confirm language skill-- the call was 100% in Spanish A: just had phone interview, also all in Spanish. Interviewer said the committee would be meeting soon to determine whom to invite to MLA A2: I have the feeling it was to determine the candidate's interest in the position. My interview was 50% English, and 50% Spanish. They will meet next Tuesday to decide who they are going to call for the MLA Q: Are you a native speaker of either English or Spanish? Maybe they wanted to test you on both languages?

 * U. Mass. Boston (11/23) email; Q: Is this another case of the search disappearing or cutting off applicants before the deadline? A: Not sure. The job post is still there, but it never had a deadline, so not really sure when they started reviewing applications...Q: Are you sure the post is still available? I could not find it there. A: The internal job listing is definitely gone, so the application can't be access or its details inspected. I wrote the dept and they said consideration closed already...despite only posting the position 9 November. Kinda shady. A. Why do people keep calling departments "shady." There was nothing shady going on there. They already called for interviews. To me it seems like they're just a whole lot more efficient than most. Frankly, if everyone followed their model, the job process wouldn't take so darn long!

Additional Materials Requested
List NEW information at top
 * George Washington University (12/11) Email requesting writing sample / Q: The Mexicanist position? A: Yes, Mexicanist.
 * Catholic University of America (12/10) Email through Interfolio requesting evals, writing sample, course proposals (x2) - Q: Is anyone else seeing their Interfolio delivery for this position as incomplete now, but unable to upload the additional documents requested? A: yes; A2: I had no problem uploading
 * Worcester State University (12/2) email, request video of teaching demostration. (x4) And I don't have any such video. A: Do you know if this is a video to complete dossier or is it to line up interviews. A: No dog in this fight here, but this is absurd. Who has this? How can you line this up without letting your current employer (assuming you have one) know that you're interviewing?!  A: This is kind of an odd request - at this stage of the game - that I don't think I've seen before. Folks are getting creative. A4: I did not even apply for this job because of this video. There was another one requesting a video as well. A5: There are jobs every year that request videos. Sometimes they request an entire class and sometimes 10 minutes. Who has this? If you're a grad student at an R1, and you probably get observed at least once a semester. My university always asked me if I wanted a recording. I have three videos. If you're already working and on the market, you could always get a student from another class to film you and be sly about the reasons.
 * California State University, Fresno (Golden Age) (11/25) request letters of recommendation, sample syllabi and transcripts. x4
 * San Francisco State University (11/23) email: fiction writing sample; (x1) Q: was fiction writing even in the job description? A: the job description only said "writing sample", but it is in the Creative Writing Department (for literary translation teaching), so I guess it makes sense they ask for that... A2: I think this is for the job at San Francisco State University, not U. of San Francisco. A3: Yes! Sorry, my bad! It's for San Francisco State University
 * UC Berkeley (11/17) email: writing sample. Anyone who sent a writing sample hear yet? A: Not me. I know another person who is also waiting. Either we are the unlucky ones, or they are taking their time. A2: I am still waiting as well. A3: Also waiting... A4: Just got an invitation by e-mail (12/13). Mucha suerte a todxs!
 * Baylor (11/17) email: Asking if I am attending MLA. Did they offer you an interview there? Q2: I know the previous question asked this same thing, but I wanted to follow up too. I just got an email (11/18) asking if I was attending the MLA because they will be conducting interviews there. Is that what your email said too? A: Yes, this is the same message I received. I assume they want to interview us there, right? They did not follow up after my response though. A2: That's what I assumed from their message too (that they would want to interview us there). A3: I got the same email and received clarification: it appears they are still reviewing candidates and planning the next step in the search. Skype was mentioned to me as a possibility, but they may still be going to the MLA as it is fairly close (Waco to Austin is 90 minutes by car). Q3: Let me try to understand, did they reply after you responded to their MLA question? When? They did not reply me, I am confused now :) A: I received the email about whether or not I was going to the MLA on 11/18. I responded and inquired about other possiblities for the initial screening. They responded to my email and indicated that 1. Skype was a possiblity and 2. that they were still in the process of reviewing candidates. Q: Do you mean they were not sure if they would interview you? A: It sounded like they wanted an interview, but the tone was somewhat ambiguous. As you can see above, some candidates have the MLA interview lined up with them already. My sense is that they will do the MLA with those that will be there, but that there would be options for initial screening of candidates that were not going to be there.
 * Baylor (11/5) email: More info about church affiliation. A: Was this a clarification about your statement or asking for one? Respuesta: Clarification.
 * California State University, Fresno (10/19) email (x4)   Q: Golden Age or Mexican Lit.? A: Mexicanist

Rejections
List NEW information at top
 * University of Mary (North Dakota): snail mail rejection, saying position has been offered to another candidate
 * Wake Forest (12/11) Email (The most spineless email received to date: we are already interviewing, best wishes. You fill in the blanks all by yourself: guess you are out.)
 * Brigham Young (12/11) x 1 - Q: Was it for the Assistant Professor of Portuguese? A: No, for Spanish!
 * Harvard University (12/9) Email - Assistant Professor of Modern and Contemporary Brazilian Studies.
 * Rice University (12/9) Email - Lecturer of Portuguese
 * UMass Boston (12/1) Letter - Assistant Professor in Luso-Hispanic/Atlantic Studies
 * Lehigh (12/1) Latin/o Studies
 * CSU Fresno (11/30) Golden Age x3
 * Central Florida (11/23). Chair position.
 * Mills College (11/02). "the College has decided to put the search for this position on hold" (email). x2 x3
 * Drake University (11/02). "The search has successfully concluded" (Email). x8 x10, also 11/02 (I am surprised about this one. When was it first posted, wasn't it first announced on 9/20? When was the official deadline? Already concluded?) (this was not my original post, but they already had a visiting professor from last year. Maybe they just wanted that person?) * They're also simultaneously notifying candidates that they're still under consideration; what's going on? A: They don't sound very professional. # That is true. They interviewed me last year. A: The deadline according to the MLA was November 9th - I attempted to submit my materials on Nov. 4th and there was no link on Drake's HR website; I contacted the head of the search committee who informed me - 5 days prior to the offical deadline - that the deadline had been changed (it had not) and that with over 200 applications they "simply could not handle anymore" - extremely unprofessional... and unethical! A: in my notes I have the deadline as September 3; it was the earliest job I applied to. A: I just checked on the expired posting on Interfolio; it is November 9. :*Update (11/20): Notified after phone interview that another candidate has been selected. A. It seems like they probably had an inside candidate, this search went extremely fast. A: If they couldn't handle "over 200 applications" then they should have written a better ad, not some vague one for a generalist. They brought this on themselves. A: I was a bit unsure whether to even bother to apply here, given their past history (radical revision of the language programs, including termination of tenure-line positions) and current department layout. It was also unclear to me whether they even had a major, as different information was listed about this in different places. Long story short: totally agree re: the lack of professionalism, especially the part about telling applicants they'd already rec'd too many apps.!
 * California State University, Fresno (10/28), after additional materials requested) x6

 * Just got this email from Wake Forest: "Dear Applicant, Thank you for your interest in our position in Spanish in 18-19th century literature and visual culture at Wake Forest University. This email is to update you on the timeline of our search. The committee has been reviewing applications and will schedule phone/Skype interviews for mid-January. After phone/Skype interviews are concluded, we will invite selected finalists to a campus interview early in the spring semester" However, apparently they have already scheduled Skype interviews. What's going on here?
 * University of South Alabama - 12/7, email requesting Affirmative Action card and veteran voluntary form. x5. A: But per above they already contacted people for interviews. A2: Yes, it's like adding insult to injury. I am completely aware that I am already out of the game, and yet, here they are soliciting this info to protect themselves. A: Absolutely true. Insulting and unprofessional. They can wait for those forms until next year. A3: There was a job last year that did the same thing. I just think it's ridiculous! A4: I think they should be call out on their BS. A2: Yo otra vez. Hoy día recibí la tarjeta de Affirmative Action por correo postal. Entiendo que son requisitos de HR, pero, joder, si ya me ignoraron para sus famosas llamadas telefónicas pre-MLA, por favor, ¡déjenme en paz! Que jodan a los que están entrevistando, que por estas fechas tendrán más paciencia que uno. No fue culpa nuestra que no pidieran esa información a tiempo y ahora se vengan a cubrir el trasero. A5. Yo les contesté el email diciendo que no les iba a enviar ninguna forma porque ya sabía que estaban haciendo citas telefónicas para el MLA, alguien tiene que decirles algo. A6: I understand the frustration, but it's pretty standard to request that info of all applicants. Plus they didn't notify people that they are not under consideration, we only know because of the wiki. I think the problem is that they didn't make it part of the application process itself. And what's with using snail mail for forms? A2: Mira, A6, sospecho que tú ya tienes un buen número de entrevistas. Eso quizá te impida comprender que cuando no tienes nada y ves que te estás quedando en la calle, lo que hizo UofSA no resulta de lo más inocuo. Ya habiendo concertado las entrevistas telefónicas es que nos enviaron a todos las famosas tarjetas por correo electrónico y por correo postal. Solicitar esta información es estándar, sí, pero el problema radica en que la información que nos dan en el correo está articulada para hacerte pensar que todavía tienes esperanzas, lo cual resulta falso. Las cosas no se hacen de esta forma, ¿viste? No somos de goma, estamos en situaciones muy desesperadas muchos de nosotros, y una cosa así resulta casi como una burla a nuestra vulnerabilidad. Lo correcto era solicitar la información demográfica con el resto del formulario, como todas las demás instituciones. Y ahora que lo pienso, en realidad no es nada estándar, este año ellos han sido los únicos que han hecho esto de enviar todo al último para taparle el ojo al macho.  Ilegal no es, pero sí poco ético y poco profesional. A7: A2, I completely understand your frustration. The way I look at it is, if the institution is so dumb as to spend money on paper and on postage for people that they know they won't hire, then you definitely don't want to get stuck there anyway. As for A5's approach, I think it's important to remember that one moment of rudeness or frustration like that has the potential to ruin your professional reputation because you just never know who knows whom in this profession.
 * University of Cincinnati - 12/02, email.
 * Lake Forest College - 11/30, email. Weird, I sent my application early, never got an acknowledgement and now I see they already started scheduling interviews four days after their due date. Wonder what's going on. A: Something similar happened to me. I followed up twice when I saw somebody here received an acknowledgement, and I received one after my second message. No interview request for me though! A: I never received an acknowledgement from them and I did follow up after I saw people getting interviews. It seems very disorganized. A3: For what it's worth, I never received an acknowledgement but I did get an interview. Acknowledgements don't always happen. Seems like they were working fast to get interviews in before everyone leaves for break. That doesn't mean it's disorganized. A: In my opinion: 1. They should treat everyone equally meaning that you either aknowlege all applications or any. 2. They arranged interviews too fast and probably did not consider all applications equally. I sent mine late and was not either acknowledged or given an interview. It seems unfair that people who sent later but still under the deadline will not be considered just because they were overwhelmed. A4: I sent my materials the day that they were due (late evening, in fact). I got an acknowledgement, but no interview. Not that any of this makes us feel any better. This is my first go at this (still ABD) and I am learning a lot. I gather that it is probably better to send the materials as soon as you can, right? All we can do is be better prepared for next year. Ánimo. A5: theoretically, it should not matter when you send your application, as long as it gets there by the deadline. But, with the huge amount of apps. some institutions receive, I do wonder if there isn't just a better chance if the app. gets there in the early part of the review process (esp. when deadlines extend into December, when everyone gets super busy). I got an acknowledgment but no interview, FWIW. Am a bit surprised by the poster that got a call and an interview the next day! That's a fast turnaround time, geez.
 * Southern Connecticut State University-11/20 Q: Was this a personalized  email or an EEO form? A: EEO form
 * U San Francisco - 11/19, email x6
 * Cornell College - 11/18, email. Q. I haven´t received a confirmation email yet. Am I the only one? A: Nope, me neither. 12/11 - Any updates on this one? Thanks!
 * U Pitt 11/18 email and request for voluntary EEO form. Q: Me too. Does this mean we were selected after a first stage? A: They require EEO forms from all candidates. These forms are voluntary, so you do not need to fill them out if you do not want to.
 * Colby ("A") 11/17 email.
 * Colby ("B") 11/16, email.
 * Colby "C" (11/17), email.
 * Rowan University (11/13) " Please respond to this message, indicating whether you are currently legally authorized to work in the United States on a full-time, permanent basis.   We are not able to sponsor visas and pay for immigration fees for candidates". Isn't this discrimination? I wish we could legally complain about these cases A: It is not, if they cannot afford it, that's that. Discrimitation is considered on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities. Sometimes institutions have the money to invest, wisely I think, on a diverse faculty, but sometimes they don't, especially poor schools. Rowan has a small endowment, it is not a particularly rich school, and being a public school, there is a lot of red tape too. Sorry, don't get discouraged. A2: In my opinion this is blatant discrimination, many schools also state that they don't discriminate based on "national origin" I know of several schools who never had a problem sponsoring an H1B visa. Universities are not cap-restricted and the paper work -believe it or not- is not complicated and inexpensive. And I am talking about schools smaller than Rowan (Rowan has 14,000 students= not really small). If they are legally allowed to not sponsor visas, why didn't they say this in the job ad in the first place?? Georgia Southern did. A3 They have filed for 35 visas in the last three years, none of them appers to be in Humanities. It is not about the money they have, but about how it is distributed. The old division between STEM and Humanities: http://www.myvisajobs.com/H1B-Visa/Search.aspx?Y=2014&CI=463872 A: Big does not mean rich; their endowment is small, especially for a school with 14,000 students. Not all departments have the same amount of money; STEM departments typically have more funds, the humanities have less, which is the reason why many profs in the sciences have higher salaries. I do agree, however, in that they should have disclosed this information in their advertisement. Chin up! There are schools out there with better hiring practices.A4: I think this is discrimination. The paperwork is not diffucult and it is very inexpensive. How would you feel if the job position indicate they can't hire American citizens? Wouldn't you consider that a discriminatory practice? A: It doesn't matter what you or I think, or what we feel. It is how they operate, and they are operating within the bounds of the law. You don't like it, I don't like it, but it is not illegal or discriminatory, since they are not indicating that they won't hire foreing nationals (I am one, by the way), just not sponsoring visas. (Universities in my country, incidentally, are even more resistant to sponsor foreigners, including Americans.) A: Thanks, previous poster. It's actually unlawful in many states to hire foreign nationals ahead of qualified nationals. Some state legislatures write that language into university charters or otherwise "require" universities to hire domestic candidates. Most departments get around this by insisting on diversity in hires and in departments, which is why most Span/Port departments are usually at least half foreign nationals. I have noticed that the trend lately is perhaps even highter than this, as student enrollment falls and the demand to teach culture rather than literature increases. The STEM argument above is a red herring; profs in those departments are usually funding their own labs with government and foundation grants and are therefore less financially dependent on the university and less constricted in their hiring practices--especially if they're bringing prestige and money to the institution. A. Just for comparison, the chair of the UBC job has been sending out emails that say: "The Government of Canada requires that we give priority to citizens and permanent residents of Canada. Please indicate if you are a citizen or permanent resident of Canada." So, this is not a uniquely American thing. A. Nobody has said that this is "a uniquely American thing", that does not make non-discriminatory, also their job post stated this from the very beginning. A. This comes up EVERY year. It's a bizarre complaint. Canada does it. The EU does it. There are countries in South America that do it. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to sponsor people for visas? Or that it requires lawyers? HR specialists? Not to mention, is this news to people? It's something you must have already heard as a graduate student who came to a foreign country for training. Not to mention, there are other departments who will prefer a foreign expert just because. It balances out. A. It is no bizarre. It would be if Spanish Departments warned prospective international graduate students of their slim chances of landing a job after getting their PhDs just because of their legal status. The problem is, if they actually did this, many of us would think it twice before investing so much time and effort and departments would probably end up not having enough TAs to exploit and keep their programs running.  A. I don't know how this could be a "bizarre complaint", I think it's a fair complaint. My best friend is an inmigration lawyer and we went over this information. H1B visas are not difficult to get if the sponsoring institution is an university or an NGO as they are not cap-restricted. Yes, it takes some paper work, but it is not an impossible task, besides, that's what there's an HR department. My previous institution used to do it all the time, my current institution does it too. Now, green cards are a different story. And, whether it's legal or not, it is kind of discouraging that people are being hired for their legal status and not their credentials. I have been to many conferences in which "Spanish professors" can't even speak Spanish correctly.

Oh, "thinking" about closing the major; sorry for my error. Still, it might explain why it is probably better to put the search on hold.

 * Does anyone know anything about University of Houston? Instructional Assistant Professor of Spanish? This is the third year they announce that position and every year they change it. In 2013 they looked for an Associate Professor who could teach and coordinate Spanish for the Professions. In 2014 they looked for and Advanced Assistant Professor Tenure Track (with the caveat that such person could not be part of the graduate program). And now in 2015 they are looking for an Instructional Assistant Professor, non tenure track.

 * Alguien sabe algo de U Virginia? A: Not me.
 * Me da la impresión de que hay gente poniendo información falsa... Alguien puso hace días que University of South Alabama lo/la había llamado para concertar una entrevista, pero resulta que ahora están enviando los documentos demográficos a todos los candidatos. Yo le escribí a la jefa del comité de búsqueda y me dijo que todavía no han elegido a los candidatos a entrevistar en la MLA. Este sitio no es muy confiable, señores/as. A: Según yo entendí, hubo un paso más, una entrevista telefónica como filtro preliminar antes de pasar a la lista corta para el MLA. Tú le preguntaste a la chair sobre la entrevista al MLA, pero los que han comentado aquí han escrito sobre la entrevista preliminar. ¿Te dijo algo ella sobre estas entrevistas telefónicas? A: Me dijo que todavía no habían elegido a los candidatos a entrevistar en la MLA, que por lo pronto le estaban enviando los formularios a todos los candidatos. Nada más A: Yo tengo una entrevista por teléfono con ellos. No hay ninguna información falsa, de verdad. Es algo así para confirmar el nivel del lenguaje (inglés o español) y hacer una lista corta para el MLA. Lo de los documentos demográficos los manda HR a todos los candidatos y no tienen nada que ver con las decisiones del comité. Creo que la desconfianza (que a mí también me pasa) es fruto de los nervios, el estrés y la frustración de ver lo asquerosamente complicado e injusto que es esto del mercado académico. Paciencia y positividad, que tarde o temprano algo caerá! Y si no, siempre nos quedará Paris! Ánimo a tod@s! A. Yo también recibí el mismo email. Ahora, yo no pondría las manos en el fuego por el comité de selección, algunas universidades tienes procedimientos no muy éticos cuando hacen una búsqueda. A. Yo he visto esto mismo en otras ocasiones. Incluso cuando ya la gente ha reportado que la llamaron para entrevista, los comités envían la solicitud de información demográfica y dicen que aún están evaluando las solicitudes. Imagino que lo hacen para que uno dé la información. Si supiéramos que ya no nos están considerando, muchos probablemente no se tomarían el trabajo de llenar y enviar los formularios, que deben ser un requisito de RH.
 * ¿Y qué os parece la oferta de North Central College? Perfil exacto al VAP que ya tienen. Casi que solicito el puesto... Vaya un engaño, shame on you!! Y no nos vengáis ahora con vuestras historias del inside candidate y blabla. Paniaguados. Vergonzoso. Follow up: Lo mismo sucede con Whitman C y Texas Christian este año. Estuve mirando el wiki del año pasado y alguien admitió descaradamente que lo mismo había sucedido con American U. Todo este tema tiene un cariz tan burdo. Se sabe que los reglamentos piden un search, pero ese search a su vez se legitima sobre las espaldas de candidatos/as que invertirán dinero, tiempo, esperanzas y energías limitadísimas. Sobre esas vulnerabilidades se sostienen estos searches charlatanes. Habrá que suponer que esto es considerado ético (¡já!) en el "mercado" académico. A: Completamente de acuedo contigo, pero yo añadiría que no te preocuparas por North Central. Hablando con una profesora de historia de ahí mismo, me comentó que tenure depende en gran medida de las evaluaciones de los estudiantes (el cliente siempre tiene la razón) y que la cantidad de servicio y de enseñanza es agobiante. Al/la que se quede ahí, chao a la faceta de investigador/a, y con eso a las oportunidades de irte a otro sitio. A: Amigos, va a pasar algo muy interesante ese año. Mucha gente que aceptó puestos quizá no tan buenos en el pasado está tratando de moverse hacia arriba (mira como hay tantos Assistant Professor en el mercado). Incluso esa gente que está de VAP ahora está buscado puestos mejores y quizá no se queden el el lugar en el cual están, aún que se le ofrezcan TT. Vamos a ver mucho movimiento y muchas VAP en la última hora para replazar los que se vayan. A: O van a contratar muchos adjuncts para reemplazarlos.....Q: Qué pasa con el puesto de Texas Christian? Hay un VAP allá?

 * Has anyone heard anyting from the Uchicago position in Medieval Lit? I've heard two things: a) that the search has been cancelled b) that they have an inside candidate. Kind of shady. A: There is no inside candidate. Whether or not the search has been cancelled is unclear at this point—although, this is the first time I've heard anything about cancelling the search—seeing how we are not even going near campus today: http://www.uchicago.edu/emergency/ A: Thanks for your answer, but still things are shady at Uchicago. Some people say they got an email offering skype interviews for early december just one week after the first deadline (Nov 1st) and much earlier than the second one (Nov.25), which is pretty unusual for a serious search. In addition to this, one member of the search committee left town just before Thanksgiving and is still out of town. I think people are bluffing, I don't know. Thanks anyway.  Follow up: You think people are bluffing on this page? Or members of the committee at Chicago are bluffing? A:  People on this page. I had my interview with Chicago on Wed. I believe everyone had their skype interviews then. It's only been two days since then, so there is no reason to believe that the search has been cancelled. There were only 3 committe members (per the initial email invite) and they were all present. R:  I received an email in early November offering me an interview via Skype on Wed., Dec 2. I posted the original info on wikia in the "Skype/Phone Interview" section. All three committee members were present, and they were the same as stated in the email correspondence. I have heard nothing of an inside candidate, or a "second" deadline for applications for this position, and UChicago has been fully professional. While search committees are human and can fall victim to unethical, human practices, they are composed of professionals who hold themselves to ethical standards. If you think the "system" is an evil machination out to personally punish you or deny you opportunities, why are you looking to join the ranks? Read an advice book or even blog about the job search and interviewing, paranoia about the search and committee members, along with negativity, are certain to kill your chances of advancing in the hiring process.
 * Things seems to be really slow this year. I have seen very little activity here. I am anxious :) x3!!!! I feel like I had heard back about quite a few by now at this point last year. A1: I checked last year's wiki and most institutions started requesting interviews during the second week of November; I guess we're still on time. I am anxious too though. A2: I think everything is going to be more active after Thanksgiving. A3. I know! I think the fact that most of us have been on the market before makes the anxiety levels rise. Good luck, everyone! A4. I also had the sense the wiki was really slow this year, and so was the process overall. I attributed it to there not being as many people on the wiki, or there being fewer jobs available overall (not sure about that). Some jobs had very early deadlines, but haven't made a peep yet. Good luck to all! A5: This is my fifth time around (for different circumstances). In the past, typically the new MLA JIL would announce in September, on the first day the list is published, between 100-120 positions for Spanish, all specialties, including linguistics. This year there were less than 40. Positions are added to the list later on, of course, but the initial list this year was shockingly short. A6: There are 138 positions for Spanish this year (so far). A5: Yes, I was talking about day 1; they do add up, they did in the past too. A6: The MLA list was published very early this year, on Sept 11, whereas last year I believe it was around Sept 27. So I think the schedule is a little off.
 * I heard from a good source (you may think this is false information but what can you do about that, right?) that they have already someone in mind for the Brazilian lit position at Harvard. A1 I was interviewed on Skype for the position and haven't heard back, and apparently they already invited someone for a campus interview. It just seems odd that at this point of the search they wouldn't let us know if they are no longer interested. Just a thought, I'm not really familiar with this American hiring process anyways. A2: Yeah, sorry to hear that. If they had this person in mind from the beginning then the search is just a formality, which obviously sucks since it involves time, effort, hope, frustration, sadness.... A1: Yeah it sucks really bad. Now I'm curious to see who this person is. I know for a fact that a member of the committee is not at all the most ethical person in the world, he is really an authoritarian douche. So let's wait and see if he is not pulling some strings. But then again, all this may be just whining and a very competent person may be hired. A2: Yes, I also believe they have someone in mind. If I am correct though, it is a wonderful person who really deserves the position. So I didn't really get that sad about being rejected, I was already expecting it. A3: I was interviewed for it too and found a certain member of the committee to be quite rude. A1: Yep, that's him. Conheço de outros carnavais, em bom português. Well, good luck to this candidate.
 * I am a tad confused with regards to the Amherst position. Is there only one? Someone posted a request for a Skype interview but the position was cancelled. This Friday the MLA advertised another position for Amherst. Are they the same? The link for the previous one is not working so I can;t compare. A: UMass Amherst contacted for Skype inteviews, but it was the Caribbean position at Amherst College that was cancelled (this position, I believe, is now posted again but for an Associate and not Assistant, still Caribbean). A: Oh, I see. Thanks for your answer.

Debería ser “nuestras correctísimas ingles”. A3: JA JA JA ¡Me parto!
 * Obsessively check your spam folder at least nine times per hour, JUST IN CASE!
 * I've seen both outcomes (inside candidate gets the job/inside candidate does not get the job) in my department, and unfortunately I was forced to serve on both committees and watch it happen. In both cases the Chair knew beforehand what s/he wanted and communicated it not so subtly to the committee. There were other things s/he arranged to ensure her outcome. I'll tell you about the situation where the inside candidate got the job: s/he put people on the committee who were friends with the candidate; one of the committee members/friends of the insider taught the class where the teaching demo was given and gave the inside candidate a topic that s/he had already covered the day before and gave the outside candidate a ridiculously advanced-level grammatical topic the students had never seen before; the Chair did not circulate the thank you messages from the outside candidate, though s/he sent a glowing message when s/he forwarded the inside candidate's thank you message; s/he did not invite other departments in the college to the research talk; s/he scheduled the outside candidate's visit when another language group in the department had an invited speaker and a full day of events planned; the students the inside candidate met were the same students s/he was teaching that current semester, etc., etc. There are a "sinfin" number of sick things that go on with searches when there is an inside candidate and you simply cannot tell from the job ad if the inside candidate will get it. I could go on and on and give you more details about the inside candidate who didn't get it, but it is another case of setting things up to achieve a desired outcome. The only way to really guage if an inside candidate will get it would be to know if the Chair likes the candidate or not which, again, is just not information you have in the job ad. Academia is a sad, nasty world and it is too bad that every year there are more and more of us who get sucked in to this big business where the investment means costs us or sanity and a decade (or more) of our lifetime.
 * I know how frustrated everyone is with the VAP/inside candidate situation, but try not to be too discouraged. I am a VAP and we are hiring. I might not get my job because of a change in the title which requires a national search. I might not want the job because maybe I find a better/TT offer somewhere else that makes more sense for me. I have to "secretly" go on the market, with my fingers crossed. I have also been the victim of "unfair" or "shady" hiring practices. I didn't get acknowledgements. I didn't get campus visits. I was strung along. I never heard back. This happens in every occupation, in every sector, and it is even more painful in ours because we are so personally invested in our academic identities. We are all highly qualified, highly capable candidates. Apply for a job or two a day. Check the Wiki. Go on a walk. Have a pint with friends. Don't lose sight of the important things in life--your wellbeing. (A) Me gustó mucho tu comentario. A2: Me parece que el "beef" no es con l@s candidat@s. La situación de un VAP es similar a la de cualquier otr@ candidat@. Lo que creo que ya ha hastiado a mucha gente son las prácticas irresponsables de colegas con poder suficiente para estar en comités de búsqueda, pero totalmente carentes de empatía y ética. Los searches no tienen por qué usar de manera asquerosa a las personas más vulnerables. El pensamiento crítico debe rendir lo suficiente como para aplicársele a procesos administrativos como este para hacerlo más ágil, más humano y más justo para tod@s, incluyendo a los VAP. Pero en su lugar tenemos un proceso súper costoso (cortesía de candidat@s empobrecid@s), absurdamente extenso, inhumano e irresponsable. Eso del engaño pasará igual en otros sectores profesionales, pero no con el mismo costo ni con la misma intensidad. No hay que hacer más que hablar con cualquier persona que esté fuera de la academia. El proceso les parece absurdo, injusto e incomprensible, porque lo es. Bajo esas circunstancias habría que preguntarse hasta qué punto es posible justificar mansamente este asco de proceso en el que la academia (y es@s colegas con poder) nos pide, en realidad, que dediquemos nuestras vidas a satisfacer sus exigencias atorrantes. Solidaridad con tod@s.
 * Estimadísimos colegas...Como vemos en el “Report on the MLA Job Information List” el número de puestos sigue en declive. Por favor, en el futuro, cuando les toque a ustedes estar en un comité de búsqueda, recuerden estos tiempos difíciles. Presiento que muchos de nuestros colegas llegaron a la profesión antes del 2008, y no tienen idea de lo que se sufre ahora. Tengan conciencia…¡Fuerza!
 * Be contentious and angry, and share your anger with your peers, and then organize creatively and use all of your collective knowledge to denounce the neoliberal take over of academia, because knowledge was not suppose to be a market. Oh, and always remember to have the compassion and the solidarity for those suffering in the market that the "Mom" from the comment below lacks. (A) I was just trying to help and create a more collegial atmosphere. I wanted to help keep our focus on what this really is: a message board where you find out if you got the job or not, if you are in the running or not. There is a great amount of contention here, and you are a prime example of it. It is not needed. And if you want to vent again, and rage at me, and throw tantrums, I welcome it. But only if that makes you feel better. I will even promise not to answer back. Mom. A: Coño, ya empezaron con las moralinas. Que la gente se exprese y ya. Es un espacio de libertad, acaso el único que queda en un ambiente relacionado con la academia. De superioridades morales ya tenemos bastante. Y si quieren creatividad para pelear, vean la página de los italianos. Son bastante más creativos, más directos y menos hipócritas. Bastante hay ya con callarnos todos los días con una sonrisa fingida. Digan lo que quieran aquí. Es efímero, pero terapéutico. Al final de cuentas, todo se olvidará. A: Al fin alguien puso el punto sobre la i. Sí, esta página es una de las poca válvulas de escape a la hipocresía y, justamente, la doble moral que tendremos que practicar durante toda nuestra vida académica. A: I had to go see the Italian page after this rave review, and it is amazing!! A: Agreed!!! Amazing! A: Me encanta que ellos postean mucho en italiano. Esa es otra de las inconsistencias en nuestro gremio. Aparte de este inciso, contadas son las palabras en español en toda la página. Hablando de expresarse auténticamente...A: Hablemos en español y dejémos nuestro correctísimo inglés para pasar inadvertidos y ascépticos que en realidad nadie pasa así y es un poquito ridículo. Cosas de la academia y de los dptos. de español, Ay. No se dejen intimindar siéntanse libres, digan lo que quieran, rebélense contra mamá. Suerte a todos. Los entiendo perfectamente, colegas. A: Dejar esto por aquí, en solidaridad, y porque es muy posible que venga al caso de algo dicho anteriormente: https://infrapolitica.wordpress.com/2015/12/08/tiempo-universitario-y-deseo-por-alberto-moreiras/




 * Try not to be contentious. I know that we are all stressed out but, please be reasonable. There is a limited number of positions and a couple that are highly coveted. That is in no way an excuse to be snarky or vile. Check yourself and the career choices that you made. This is wiki to keep tabs on the jobs that we want, to see if we are still in the running or not. It is not the end of the world not to get invited to interview for a position. Oh, before I forget, and this is very important: start saying "please" and "thank you." Mom.
 * There is no such thing as an inside candidate. And believing in them won't do you any good, whether you are the supposed "inside candidate" or the outside applicant who is discouraged by that rumor. When a department carries out a real (inter)national search (which, admittedly, is not always a given), hiring decisions are made by a committee of highly opinionated people. And even if there is some initial preference among some of those individuals, once the can of worms is opened and new candidates are brought to campus, the status of that "inside" candidate may change. For example, I've seen a search that was rumored to have an "inside candidate" on this Wiki, in which the description seemed to be written for the Visiting Assistant Professor, describing their research perfectly; the committee was ultimately split and another applicant was hired. Rumors of an "inside candidate" helped neither the VAP--whose candidacy may have been damaged by committee members learning of skepticism regarding the search--or any other applicants who let themselves be discouraged by these false rumors. Generally you'll be doing yourself a favor if you don't believe the hype.
 * Patience
 * When I applied to the position I am now I had to compete with an internal candidate. After working for them for 5 or 6 years as lecture and visiting, they decided not to give the position to her. She had worked very hard and it was unfair. You really do not know what a committee will come up with.b

General Discussion, Questions, and Inquiries

 * I just found out that Interfolio failed to deliver my recommendation letters to two universities. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice on how to deal with this situation? A1: It has happened to me before, too. The best response is prevention, it's a good idea to assume they will take up to 3 days to make your delivery and request it well before the deadline. But failing that, you can contact Interfolio and ask them to try to intervene on your behalf with the institution you're applying to. When this happened to me Interfolio really made an effort to make amends. However, I never heard back from the committee. There's just no guarantee that an excuse from Interfolio will change anyone's mind.
 * Is it just me who thinks that less and less people go to the MLA now to interview? It seems to me that most places are willing to interview via Skype if the candidates are not able to make the MLA. Don't you think that interviewing personally (at the MLA) could give you an "edge" over the other interviewees? Thoughts? A: Yes, I agree that less and less people (and institutions) choose to attend the MLA. I have even heard of an open movement among candidates to boycott the MLA. Departments are also dealing with smaller budgets for searches. Personally, I will say that I was on the market last year and couldn't attend the MLA. I politely requested a Skype interview and the three institutions that wanted to interview me did so. Of those Skype interviews, two turned into campus visits (one was for an R1 and the other was for a SLAC). Having had the experience of being on the market more than once and interviewing both at the MLA and over Skype, I would say that interviewing over Skype gives you a better edge. Distractions and anxiety (on the part of the candidate and committee) abound in the "meat market" a.k.a MLA interview situation, while you have more control over several factors when you do the Skype interview. I would recommend declining if you have the option and accepting the MLA interview if the department cites "fairness to all candidates" or HR policy as the reason. If they just won't budge and don't really give you a reason, it is safe to assume they might not really be invested in you in the first place and then, well, consider your finances and other details about your personal situation. A2: Agreed, but I also feel like a handshake goes a long way. A3: In my experience with MLA interviews, they were an hour long. Whereas all phone/skype ones I have had have been 20-30 minutes. Are Skype-substituted-for-MLA interviews an hour long then? I felt that was a huge advantage of meeting in person, we really got to talk much more. A4: Skype all the way. FIrst off, the change in MLA meeting dates makes the MLA coincide with the beginning of our semester (people come back Sunday, teach Monday), so we just do not send as many people there to interview.  Secondly, prep for Skype gives us a huge insight into the candidates' ability to manage information, time, and technology.  Don't have access to a computer (or tablet) you can Skype to/from?  You won't be successful at our institution.  You need to be able to figure these things out on your own.  Thirdly, we record the Skype interviews, so that all interested parties in the department can see for themselves.  This holds the SC members accountable to ask and answer questions properly and keep the interviews consistent and fair.  Fourthly, we can interview 2x or 3x the candidates that we can at a conference.  Instead of the usual 6-8 conference interviews, we can interview 20 people in their "home" envirnment, which hopefully elicits a relaxed, fruitful exchange. Fifthly, the cost of sending a team to the MLA. Disclaimer: I am a senior administrator at an R1 with PhD programs in all languages and I oversee searches in foreign langauge departments. Some observations to share: Figure out the technology. In 2015, there is no plausible excuse for not being able to Skype interview.  Check your internet connection before the interview.  Do not try to garble the connection when we switch to your non-native language part of the interview.  It is clear that you do not have the proficiency level we require if your connection "cuts out" during this part of the interview. I have seen it all! A5: I personally prefer the face-to-face interview a hundred times over both as a candidate and a search committee member. Though everybody is getting more used to Skype, the format still makes it harder to pick up social cues. It encourages long-winded answers from the candidate rather than a back-and-forth conversation. The technology is still not entirely reliable either. To my surprise though it seems that some candidates and SC members prefer it for reasons other than budget (the previous poster gives some good ones, though I hope they inform candidates they're being recorded!). That said it sure seems the MLA interview is on its way out. This year we debated which way to go, settled on the MLA and gave a Skype option. About half the candidates picked Skype, so that's probably the end of the discussion for future searches. I can definitely say we’re giving the exact same consideration to both groups of candidates.
 * Do all candidates who are invited for a campus visit after interview are contacted the same day? If they don't get a campus visit, do they get a rejection email? A: No. A: No, unfortunatelly, rejections only come at the end of teh process. I believe they contact everybody on the same day.
 * What do you guys make of the positions that were here last year (and some, the year before, too--I'm looking at you, Cornell College!)? Is it a case of quick turnaround, the inability to find a suitable candidate for the position (which, to see how many of us are actively commenting here, seems absurd to me), or because the position was already uncertain to begin with (i.e., it gets closed before the search can even take off, only to reappear the next season)? I suppose it could be any of the above factors, but wouldn't you think that these are the places to avoid? In the end, I understand that a job's a job (especially if it's TT), but if there's some underlying reason for the renewed search, that's probably a good indicator that the position, the department, or even the university is somewhat unstable. A: Cornell College doesn't pay much, and is in the middle of the frozen tundra, hours from any major town. I suspect that may affect their retention. A2: This is the third go-around for the Mexicanist position at Cal State Fresno. Their previous top choices kept getting swooped up by other schools at the MLA. This time, as you can see, they're trying to get everything done before the big dance.
 * Somebody changed the number of Assistant Professors on the market below from 12 to 1(I changed it back). I am wondering why would someone do that? It is important to know how many of us are on the market and the respective rankings. I believe the Assistant Professors on the market are trying to move up and this will impact the job market. Again, why would someone change the number from 12 to 1? A: It wasn't me, but there wasn't necessarily any evil intent. Maybe someone meant to type "13" but only hit the "1". But my (unsolicited) advice would be not to take these numbers seriously. A lot of users don't bother to add themselves. Some do it wrong. A lot of others don't even use this wiki. A: thank you for your response. I believe the numbers serve as a good statistics reference of what we are seeing on the market these days. You are right that maybe it wasn't on purpose! I am paranoid!!
 * Just curious if anyone has heard from Wright State? Deadline was 10/1 and there's been NADA. Had same ad last year, so wondering what's going on. A. The search at Wright State last year was VERY shady and unprofessional, I m telling you this from experience. A2. I echo previous answer. Wright State is a divided department with next to zero communication in the faculty or with the lecturers. That also comes from experience.
 * What happenned to the postion of Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Luso-Hispanic/Atlantic Studies at UM Boston? Was it canceled? A1: It seems so. The link is no longer valid and the deadline was December 8. A2: See above. Some really unethical practices going on this year.
 * Dovetailing off of the converstaion below about BC, I am also noticing that many postings are listing two dates. Twice now I have written a date in my file, gone to apply for it (on Interfolio, specifically) and seen that there was a job close date listed at the top, but also an earlier date buried later in the listing. D'oh.
 * My Interfolio account shows the Boston College search (for the Romance lang. & lit. dept) as closed...? A1: Mine said the same and a couple of days ago it switched to "reviewing applications." It looks like at least two people were already contacted to set up MLA interviews (see above).
 * So, Columbia University and Christopher Newport had the same Job Ads last year (Spanish lecturer), did they not hire anyone last year? Do they only hire people for one year? Do they already have an inside candidate and they are doing this just to follow procedures? It seems weird that they would spend so much time and money advertising the same position year after year. Anyone  know how what their hiring practices are? (P.S. Colby is doind something similar too.). A1: I don't know about thos institutions, but there tends to be turnover in lecturer jobs. Some colleges use a rotation of visitors to cover sabaticals or extra demand; Colby is probably one of them.
 * Can I go ahead and say that jobs for Peninsularists are becoming extinct? I see less and less every year. A1: Yes, I think I will start going to ACTFL and do more with language pedagogy research. A2: These things are cyclical as well. A3. I wouldn't say that. Three years ago, there were Peninsular everywhere and nothing besides Mexican studies in LA. Now, it's flipped.
 * "St. Edward’s University is an Equal Opportunity Employer and hires only U.S. citizens and documented workers." Are they even allowed to say this? Being an "Equal Opportunity Employer" does not mean they can't sponsor an H1B Visa. A1: It says they hire "documented workers," which means that they may sponsor visas. A2: At leaste they have sponsored visas in the past: http://www.myvisajobs.com/Visa-Sponsor/Edward/506766.htm
 * So, according to Murray State University, their new assistant professor would teach 12 hours per semester, have an "active" research agenda and undertake service responsbilities, are they for real???? A. The definition of active research agenda varies from place to place. Most 4-4 schools define that as 2 articles and attending at least one conference a year. A2: Exactly, for R1 universities expect to publish from 10 to 12 articles to get tenure and for R2 universities expect to publish from 2 to 4 articles (peer reviewed).
 * Interfolio is charging too much money to upload the reccomendation letters to the applications! Every time I need them to send 3 letters they charge me U$12 (4$ per letter) as opposed to U$6 dollars if I send all three together to an email address! I just wish there were several dossier services so that we would not be abused by them. Do you know any other reliable dossier service? A1: I don't k now of any other services, but what I have sometimes done is find out through the departmental contact person whether it is OK to email the letters instead. A2: The Chronicle of Higher Ed's Vitae website offers a free dossier service. I've never used it and have no idea how or how well it works, though. A3. Not to be rude, but you used to have to mail them. That was a heck of a lot of money in postage. Interfolio is at least subsidized by the MLA right now
 * Do you know if there is something like the MLA Job Information List in Australia? I want to move there.
 * I would like to get some thoughts on including works "in progress" on your CV (i.e. articles/research you are working on but not yet submitted to a journal for review). If you do it, do you include everything you are working on or just the articles that are almost ready to submit (say, in two months or less). If you don't, what are your reasons not to? A1: I have a section for "Manuscripts in Preparation" under publications where I include several current projects. A2: For general research, as a rule, you might list works in progress as under review--you've submitted an article/manuscript but haven't heard back yet--or under revision--you've heard back and the reviewers have recommended "pursue with revision" or something similar. A decision to publish should then be listed as "forthcoming" even if minor revisions still need to be made. With regard to this specific question, particularly if you have not submitted yet, a "work under review" may generate positive feedback in an interview situation. With all the advertisments for "digital humanities" and/or "visual culture" positions, all fields that are still in their infancy, it will be nearly impossible for search committees to see through the fog of papers or manuscripts not-yet-accepted/under review/under revision as long as a candidate can legitimiately discuss a project that is underway and mature in its development. A3: It depends: how much have you already published? As A2 suggest--and especially so if you haven't yet had the opportunity to publish your work--I think the best course is to list only articles currently under review or with a "revise and resubmit" in the "works in progress" section.You may list accepted articles as forthcoming or in press (depending) and they needn't appear in the more qualified space of the "works in progress" section. A strong record of publication would allow a bit more leeway (e.g. listing some not yet submitted work), but doing so otherwise is risky—we all have loads of things "in progress" but some of it never gets submitted--a lot of it, if you ask me--and even less of it will be published.
