Status Updates/General Discussion

There seem to be far fewer applicants monitoring this page than last year. Do we think this is reflective of actual applicant numbers? (9/28/24)

Seems a couple of important posts were missing? Like Boston University and University of Georgia. just an FYI. And what about Utah?

https://careers.cswe.org/jobseeker/search/results/

Is the level of detail currently included in the job posts necessary?? It’s overwhelming to me, and makes it very difficult to scroll throgh the list. Last year we used brief descriptions and included links to the full description. How do others feel?? (7/23/24)

  • Agreed; it's way too much detail and the most pertinent info is getting lost in a sea of text.
  • While I understand the concern about the level of detail in the job posts (and personally agree), I wonder if asking people to edit the existing job descriptions to fit a more concise format might be prohibitive. The additional time and effort to revise and condense these postings rather than just pasting the descriptions might discourage people from updating them regularly. For me, I just need the university/school/department, position, and link to the job posting.

Who is looking forward to doing this again?? Really stoked. Not rethinking my life decisions at all.

  • Last year the job market was cruel. Hope this year there will be more jobs.

Not a lot of open job listings out right now... I hear higher ed ran out of stimulus money and now enrollment declines are hitting a lot of schools really hard. Some schools closed or merged departments. Many places are starting up new online programs to compete with everyone else, but it's a limited pool. The top schools in big cities should be okay, but mid or lower tier universities in smaller cities and especially privates or religious schools with a humanities focus will suffer.
