Preparing for Academic Job Interviews (Academic Job Market Success Series PART 2)

Candidates who impress a hiring committee with their written materials are advanced to an interview round. Here, committees take a closer look at the remaining candidates--with the intent of inviting a handful to a campus interview. But this is no ordinary interview. Committees are looking for particular answers, and often the question you hear (e.g., Tell us about your dissertation) isn't the question being asked (e.g., Tell us why your research is important). Knowing everything from the type of answers to give to how long your answers should be is critical for performing well. In this presentation, attendees will learn about the structure of interviews, what questions to expect, what answers they should give, and how to present themselves.
