Just browsing:


Does anyone mind if we reorganize this page? Perhaps separating the jobs by type (drama, film/media, speech/communications) and then putting all the information (materials requests, interviews, requests, etc.) in one place under the job description/deadline? In other parts of the wiki, I find this style of presentation much easier to read, but I obviously wanted to check with the group before making any changes.

  • Please do! Thanks so much.
    • Righto! I have started in on dividing them into types of jobs - when the job type was unmarked, I had to guess, so feel free to move things around, all ye who are more in-the-know. I also placed all the information under the school headings - not to worry, no information was removed from the page in this reorganization, it was just shifted to a different format. I hope this is useful. (it sure is! thanks very much!)
      • In the reorganization did the UTexas, Austin MLA interviews get moved from the emerging technologies entry to the UTexas, Austin Drama entry or was I just not reading it correctly before? PS Thanks wiki tidier.
      • I noticed the same thing about the UT Austin jobs. In the re-org, the MLA interviews do seem to have been switched to the Drama post from the merging technologies post, but I can't confirm that.
        • Wikitidier here: Oops! I did move the UT Austin interviews all to the Drama job. Sorry for the mistake! That is the one I have been following, so I assumed (erroneously) that all the MLA interview notes under "UT-Austin" related to it. Maybe those of you who have scheduled Emerging Technologies MLA interviews with Austin can just lower the "Drama" number by one apiece and add it to the "Emerging Tech" listing? Is there a better way to correct my error?
      • Hi All: I'm going to flip to equal signs. Just so that what is changed can be more easily cataloged.

Wow! What a great job of organizing this page--thanks!

      • Perhaps someone can also explain why the job in Digital Media Production at UT Austin is weirdly classified as a 'Speech and Communications' job and not a Media job?
        • Perhaps, above poster, you didn't mean your comment to come across as snide, but, given that someone spent a considerable amount of time improving the page for all our use, either a polite request to fix the problem or, better yet, a minute of your own time to cut and paste the entry into the correct zone (as I am about to do) might have been a better option.
        • Yes, and when I was reorganizing the whole list I wasn't sure what to do with it, and since the job title also contains the words "emerging communication technologies" I thought I would put it tentatively in the "Speech and Communications section." As I said above, if anyone finds other errors, they should feel free to go ahead and correct them.
      • Has anyone heard from UT Austin about the Modern Drama position since they requested further materials?
