Linguistics

Okay, while waiting for responses from job applications, I thought I would go ahead and try to get the linguistics wiki up and running again. Hopefully, others of you out there on the market will be able to help out. Hopefully this will help us find out how far along the various universities are in their searches!

(see also: http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/AppliedLinguistics for other possible job updates)

Q: Has anyone heard anything about this position? In the ad, they said that they would have telephone interviews in mid-January, which is quickly coming to a close...

A: I heard that there weren't a lot of applicants for this job. If they are dragging their feet it may be because they haven't gotten what they want yet.

I hope it's just that it's taking longer than they expected. I actually thought they were being very optimistic about having phone interviews in mid-January when the deadline was only 7 January. We'll see, I guess.
