2006-2007

GENERAL NOTES

Now that the new job season approaches, can anyone offer final information on the art history list for '07-'08 jobs?

Perhaps this isn't the place to post this, but for future iterations, I'd like to suggest a different format. Rather than go by stage of the hire process, this could be better organized by doing it by school, like on the Classics list: Absolutely. Much easier to post to, and to track. Also, alphabetical by institution name, then by position. I've wanted to redo the whole thing, but have been worried about negative responses.

I think that this is a good suggestion, but I find the "all on one line" thing hard to read in an online forum.

Liked it better when there were little indents Made it easy to see what was new.... Also, the format 12.01.06 is easy to misread if you're used to European formatting. (Do you mean December 1 or January 12?) Well, we could use Roman numerals for months, as is often done in Europe...

The following two "postings" are examples:

Duke University - APA interview notification - 12.01.06 Campus Visit arranged - 1.24.07 Job Offer - 3.12.07 UMass Amherst - APA interview notification- 12.06.06 Campus Visit offer - 2.05.07 Job offer made by 2/20/07 Accepted by Jane Doe (PhD Institution/Current Employer)

Let's try this again (someone screwed up the formatting):
