 * Has anyone heard anything about the Director of Writing position there? deadline was 11/1. Soon after that I received ack of app and notice that the committee would take through November to select candidates. Nothing since then.
 * Phone interview scheduled 11/20
 * Does anyone know if they have scheduled campus visits yet?

Bentley
 * Deadline 12/1
 * MLA interview scheduled 12/8 (x3)
 * Search suspended for financial reasons
 * What is your source for this information? I interviewed with them at MLA and was assured they had funding for the position. Please tell me this is a mistaken entry...
 * Email from Kathy Sheehan. I wish it was a mistaken entry. Word of advice: We share info to help one another. As frustrating as this process is, may I kindly suggest you rethink asking questions like "What is your source for this information?" in a manner that communicates a lack of trust and even disbelief.
 * Regarding the above email, I applied for the open rank/creative writing position. Hope this helps. Good luck regarding the other position.
 * I don't think the query was based on feelings of lack of trust or disbelief but exasperation over the inconsistency of information given to candidates. I interviewed with them also and haven't heard a word from K. Sheehan.
 * There are two positions that might be getting mixed up. Bentley was planning to hire two lecturers in expository writing and one tenure-track faculty in Media Studies/Cultural Communications (which is part of their English department). I interviewed for the lectureship and have yet to hear anything from the department, suspension-related or otherwise.

 * rejection via email 1/7 (post-MLA interview) (x4)
 * Interesting that they had three MLA interviews and three post-MLA rejections. I wonder if they are the same people?
 * I think there is probably a mis-assumption on the jobsearch wikis that only job seekers enter information and not SCs, and that all active job seekers who watch the site contribute to the tallies. Please note, I'm a seeker and not an SC member, and have watched, with curiosity and interest, which jobs have tallies gradually go up by 1, and which tallies start off as multiples.

Grand View
 * Contacted by HR representative 12/16 (I expected to be setting up a phone or MLA interview. Instead, it seemed like an ambush interview.  Was asked what I found interesting about the job ad, what my teaching specialties are, and a few other questions.)(x2 - same experience; they also asked me what salary I expected and then told me that this Asst. Prof. job would pay between 35-39K).  Well, I was told they go up to $49,954, so you may want to listen better.  I asked her twice in the interview (phone).  Ambush?  Gee whiz that was pretty standard.  Are you new to searches?

Harvard University (Expo College)
 * News here anyone? I received email confirm of materials received back in November (11/15ish)
 * Was asked to send additional materials (syllabi, writing sample, recommendation letters, etc.) and did so on 11/20; no word since
 * Keep in mind, the Expo College interviews local candidates Jan/Feb and uses MLA for geo-distant candidates
 * Has anyone who was asked to send additional materials heard anything yet? (12/15)--Not yet (12/15) (x4)
 * Has anyone heard back from Harvard?* Dec 18
 * No word here (12/18). Their last day of classes was yesterday (no exams until after the holidays), so today and/or tomorrow would seem a logical time for their committee to meet, deliberate, and (hope against hope) make calls. But of course "logic" seems to have little bearing on any of these proceedings...
 * have they scheduled MLA interviews? (12.22)12/23--I've received no news since turning in supplementary materials in late November. (x3)
 * Same here. I wonder if they are bypassing the MLA altogether?
 * It's also possible that the job has been frozen, at least temporarily.
 * Has anyone who was asked for additional materials heard ANYTHING?? (2/3)
 * As of 01.03, not a word. (x2) Perhaps they have to wait and see how many of the current preceptors are definitely moving on.
 * http://chronicle.com/news/article/5630/harvard-freezes-salaries-suspends-faculty-searches

I'm confused here. This article refers to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, but my understanding is that Expos operates to some extent independently. Should one of us hazard a call/email inquiring about the status of the search? Even if it's frozen, it does not seem unreasonable to get some kind of notice!

Occidental College
 * Q. Has anyone heard anything?'''
 * only Ack of app 11/24
 * MLA interview request by phone. 12/19 (3)
 * applied via interfolio. ack by email. nothing more.
 * Is someone concerned about interfolio? I see this listed several times as a piece of information. I used them, as did all of my current  colleagues, and none of us have had any problems. I am not sure why having applied via interfolio would have made any difference. (x2)
 * i mention interfolio because i imagined/hoped that i had not heard back from some schools (places i egotistically thought of as good fits) because they possibly hadn't received all of my materials. childishly blaming the messenger; it's a strategy for coping, i suppose, but it probably belongs in the "venting" section or not at all. sorry if it seems irrelevant. won't mention it again.

Ohio University, Lancaster

Oklahoma State University
 * ack and EEOC 11/22 (x2),
 * Phone Interview Scheduled for 12/5
 * Rejection letter via email 12/13
 * MLA interview scheduled 12/9

Oklahoma City University
 * phone interview 12/17

Oregon State U
 * request for more info (11/11)
 * MLA interview scheduled 12/3 (x2)
 * email rejection 12/15
 * have heard nothing. interviews were scheduled on the 3rd and rejections sent out on the 15th. so i'm frustrated because if i'm not to be interviewed and am not being notified of rejection, will i hear anything at all? i find the lack of *any* response disappointing and, frankly, rude.
 * rude, maybe, but understandable. If a school receives 100 applications, contacting all 85 they're not interviewing is a bit daunting. What I find even ruder is that most schools will not contact interviewees that they are not bringing to campus. I'd rather hear that I'm not in the top three than sit around waiting forever. And if I was later contacted b/c the top three were not good fits, if I was still on the market I wouldn't turn up my nose... You won't hear anything. Our field is stunningly unprofessional when it comes to treating job candidates as actual human beings.
 * "rude maybe, but understandable"? I'm sorry, but it's not understandable. As every person on here knows, it takes a lot of time to research the department, the school, the faculty, then cater your letter to their needs, then come up with whatever combination of materials that particular school wants, pay for postage (not cheap, packages with a lot of materials can be $6 or more each), etc.  For a school not to take 5 seconds to write an email saying, "sorry we're not interested" is just unacceptable and unprofessional.  This obviously is not specific to Oregon SU, but seems to be endemic of many departments.
 * Uggh, to the above message. This is how searches work. You'll get your rejection letter when the search is over. The message below is correct in theory, though in most cases, if you don't hear from a school before MLA, that in and of itself is your rejection notice. My goodness, get over it.
 * One thing to keep in mind when not getting an interview but also not receiving a rejection is that SCs want to keep their options open. If they turn out not to be happy with the interview pool they've chosen, they'll go back into the pool.  If they haven't rejected you at this point, you are still in that pool they might dip back into.  So they may be keeping their options open with you.  Of course, it would be nice to be notified of this, but then so few let us know the details.  This is how I would understand the above situation.

 * wait. is that an official, final rejection?  they said in their email to me that they had made their choices for MLA, and I wasn't one of them, but they would keep my application on file for the rest of this hiring cycle.  So is that a very polite way of rejecting me or is that a way of saying I'm on a waiting list?  any thoughts?
 * I got the same email and took it as a considerate rejection, meaning they are keeping their options open in case all their candidates head elsewhere, but I don't think their emails probably distinguished between *really* rejected and *keep-your-application* rejected.
 * psuedo rejection via email 12/17 (see comments above)
 * I got the same thing and I took it as "final but polite."
