Campus interview scheduled

**To above candidate: do you feel comfortable sharing when/what day MSU invited you to campus & if it was via phone or email? (I was told at MLA that they'd contact people mid January;trying to figure out if I'm totally out of the running at this point)

**I too am in the same state and very curious.

**to the person above (I'm the person who wrote "To the above candidate" above yours): did they tell you mid January in terms of notifying people? I know that they don't even start classes until next week...

** (I am "I too...") Yes, they did tell me that they would get back to their finalists after they reconvened for classes.  Perhaps they are running somewhat early?

** (me again - "To the above cand.") I think either (1) the person who wrote he or she had an interview on campus is an inside candidate (already at msu?) (2) made a mistake (meant to enter for Marygrove?) or much less likely, but I suppose possible, given what happened at the other wiki (3) is messing with other candidates?

**hm, just adding a third voice to this discussion.  Also still waiting to hear...  I would expect that if they had already scheduled campus interviews, they would have sent rejections to the rest of us, no? (1/10)

**Also still waiting.  They wouldn't necessarily have sent rejections--most schools want to keep their options open in case their first or second choice falls through.
 
** I agree with above - it's been my experience, I'm sad to say, that schools (even ones you've interviewed with at MLA) do not send rejection letters - - don't send them at all or at best, very, very late. (I got one this September for a school I applied to fall 2006.) Hang in there and good luck to all of us... (But I sure would love to know the motivation of that person above who posted a campus visit was already scheduled.)

**Campus interview scheduled for later this month  (1/13)

**A much belated response to those above - I was the one who posted that an on-campus interview had been scheduled quickly after the MLA.  Technically, I suppose the interview was not "scheduled" until a week or so after I posted, but the SC must have been ahead of schedule because they issued the invite.  I am not, in fact, an internal candidate.  As to the poster who asked what my "motivation" for posting was--I am not certain I understand the question.  To my fellow interviewees, I wish you the best of luck at any or all the schools that have their eyes on you.

**And to the candidate who just got the job offer, congratulations (post-campus-interview rejection letter received Jan 30th)

=='''Notre Dame'''==

*Deadline: November 15

**Anything going on here?

**Ack. letter said they hope to contact candidates mid-December to schedule interviews early in the new year.

**No news?
 Still no news? (12/23)

**Does anyone have any updated information on this (acceptance/rejection/request for writing sample)? I'm wondering if this wiki is dead at this point? (everything decided?)

**A colleague was asked for writing sample and dossier in late December.

**I was one of those asked for writing sample and dossier in late December.  They said I was one of about 12, and that they would begin reviewing these materials on January 11.  No more word yet as of 1/25/08

**Rej. Letter (post)-(1/26) (x3)

**Three campus interviews conducted in January, '08

=='''Oakland University'''==

*No deadline posted

*Ad appeared 12/7

**Not likely they're doing MLA interviews, huh?
Why?
I wrote I didn't think they'd be doing MLA interviews since the ad appeared so late, but I suppose that's presumptuous assumption on my part.  It's conceivable they could review materials this week and contact people over the weekend.  If that's what they do, though, the question, in my mind, then becomes, why did they wait so long before placing the ad??

Q. Anyone know ANYTHING about this crazy job? (1/2/08)

A. A faculty member posted the ad recently on the NASSR (North American Society for the Study of Romanticism) listserv, saying that the candidate should be able to teach 20th century drama but a specialization in Romantic Drama was fine. (1/18/07)

** Anyone receive update/campus visit invite? (2/14)

** 3 campus visits by last week of March

Does anyone know if an offer has been made?

Offer made/accepted (2/13)

=='''Villa Julie College'''==

*No deadline posted

*Ad appeared 11/21

*"post Early Modern dramatic literature"

**Their online application system is freakin' terrible!
Yes, the worst I've ever seen. I feel for the committee. The way the system worked all font info would be lost, so no italics, bolded headings, etc. CVs must be hard to read like that.

If they really care about a candidate, surely they'll ask for a proper letter and CV along with other materials, no?
