I got a job: 3
Is anyone still using this page? yes - 5
Is anyone frustrated over how long the hiring process takes?
Anyone feeling they will be unemployed next year? 2
(I'm holding out hope! I know I won't have a TT job though)
-this is a great resource-
Has anyone heard from PTS or CUA ? (New Testament jobs)
PTS is looking for a senior scholar, probably not the types to update this wiki
Ok so CUA or Gonzaga? Anyone?

Any more info. on what went down? Phone or campus interviews?
Only SBL interviews, no campus interviews
So then what was the "short-list" all about? I'm confused, the grapevine said they weren't deciding
until Spring.
They chose a short list in December and then picked someone from that list, presumably by
talking amongst themselves, but also by contacting people's referees. (They called at
least two of mine.) I also thought that they would be making the decision later, but
they offered me the position in January.
2/6 thanks so much for the clarification.
