11/15: Does anyone have any info about Hope College? It seems like this job is posted every year or two. Does it keep going unfilled, or do they have trouble hanging onto people due to the religious aspects of the school? 11/28: curious about this too! 12/31: I was curious as well and did a bit of digging. I found two articles. One: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2019/02/06/division-investigations-faculty-departures%E2%80%A6-what-going-hope-colleges-music and: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/04/18/hope-college-moves-away-immediate-plan-fire-president To me, these articles point to some instability that would make it difficult to work there (for me, anyway, which is why I didn't apply). I also found student review comments on some websites that said that, although chapel attendance isn't mandatory for students, it is frowned upon and makes students who don't go feel isolated--I would think it would be the same for faculty members? But that's me just speculating based on those student comments.

A: As someone who grew up in the neighborhood, Hope has the reputation for a deeply religious work culture. I would bet a donut that is at least part of why they struggle to keep staff.

11/15: Anyone hear anything from Reed yet besides that email in October outlining timeline?

First round interviews were scheduled for mid-December.

11/19 Received request for more materials from UVM on 10/23. Any word on interviews?

11/20 Any word from Smith?

12/3: Any word from UC Davis?

12/23 seems like Zoom interviews went out/happened but no word on campus visits

12/3: Any word from UMass Amherst (besides the 11/12 rejection)?

12/11: Any word from Le Moyne, Franklin and Marshall, Trinity?

12/13: Anyone apply to UATX? Or hear from them? Review of apps began 11/15.

1/9: Can anyone confirm if Zoom interview requests from USF went out only for the Poetry position or also for Open Genre?

1/10: Any new info from Colorado College, other than the job listing mirroring the bio of the current visiting professor who’s also the partner of a current faculty member?

1/18: Anyone heard anything from CC (poetry)? 1/19: See below about posting matching qualifications/experience of the current visiting poet/partner of current faculty.

1/19 meaning it's likely an internal hire...?

2/15: I reached out to Colorado College's Human Resources department, twice now, 3 weeks ago and 1 week ago, inquiring about the status of the search: no response at all.

2/16....I also have not heard anything from CC....has anyone reached out to anyone involved in the search? i.e. the chair?

3/29: wow! The initial presumption on Colorado College was correct. The VAP is listed on 2024-2025 courses as of today. (Though technically no info on whether as a continuing VAP or in the TT role)

1/24: I have a Q, it's my first time on the market and I've noticed that I've applied to some places where people have gotten both interviews and form rejections. If I haven't gotten the rejection, is this just sloppy responding on their parts? or when doing these searches do schools tend to have some sort of second tier that they keep on the back burner in case all interviews don't go well? Curious if anyone knows. Answer: First, congrats on getting interviews your first round! Hoping you get a good place to work. And, honestly, it's hard to say. Sometimes HR is gumming up the works (I've gotten a form rejection over a year after an interview). Or they don't seem to want to reject anyone until they have the new hire secured—ostensibly hedging their bets? Or, again, HR protocol. But yes indeed could also be sloppy af. Flyouts and no rejection, etc, happens all the time. Takeaway: after a certain amount of time you should feel free to email and ask for an update. (Disclaimer: I have not been on a hiring committee, so take this with a grain of salt.) R2: It's likely just an oversight. Most schools are interviewing 9-20 people for the job, then inviting 3-4 to campus. If you get an interview and don't hear from them, you could be in a reserve pool of semi-finalists in case none of the finalists work out--that's very common. But if you didn't get an interview around when some of the other requests were made (not every school extends all interview requests on the same day, but they're generally pretty close together), your application is likely dead. This might mean that you were very close to being an interviewee and didn't get rejected in the first batch but also weren't advanced, or it could just be an HR glitch--I've seen the other side of these searches and some of the software interfaces are just dreadful.

1/25 - any word on campus visits at Smith, UH-Manoa, or SUNY Purchase?

2/14-Any word on campus visits at Franklin Marshall College? Any word from Binghamton?

2/20-CUNY Baruch Q: did the campus visit go ahead? Last I heard from them they said the process was delayed.

3/08 - Any news from Emerson College? It's been over a month since job talks/campus visits, has anyone heard of an offer being made? Or of people who weren't originally given job talks being flown out?

3/08: Any news from Texas Tech (Costa Rica)?

3/8: Any news from The University of Tampa? Campus visit, notified 3/12

3/13: Any news from Antioch?

3/23: A technical question on the process: When you already hold a TT position but would like to re-enter the market because you're not happy with your current job & town, how do you guys go about collecting reference letters? Do you ask your current colleagues and faculty, or go back to your PhD/MA mentors? Thanks! A: I got one from a colleague at my current job; I was told from folks who have been on hiring committees that it would look good (I went with a trusted friend/colleague, not my Dean or others because I didn't want them to know I was trying to leave). The other letters were from former professors/mentors and one person with whom I went to graduate school with who teaches at a different school--I was also told by people who served on committees that it looks better to have your letters from people at different schools (if you've had the same job for a time). I hope this helps! I should add: I think it helps in the cover letter to write about why you want to leave the current school as related to a positive you find in the school you're applying for; in other words, never say or hint at anything negative about the current place.

3/25: Colorado College sent rejection, noting that "other candidates [who]...more closely matched the College's needs were selected for interviews and an offer was made." Curious to see if the offer was made to the current visiting prof who is a partner of a current full-time faculty. I mean, no problem really--but why make people go through al the hoops of applying, interviewing, traveling, etc., when you want to hire the person already there? If their hands are tied because of policy or law, I get it, but it's dumb. Spare us the waiting and the effort.
