Oakland University

 * No deadline posted


 * Ad appeared 12/7

Why? I wrote I didn't think they'd be doing MLA interviews since the ad appeared so late, but I suppose that's presumptuous assumption on my part. It's conceivable they could review materials this week and contact people over the weekend. If that's what they do, though, the question, in my mind, then becomes, why did they wait so long before placing the ad??
 * Not likely they're doing MLA interviews, huh?

Salem State College (MA)
Has anyone heard anything? Are they interviewing at MLA? Anyone know anything (1/2)?
 * No deadline posted

Villa Julie College

 * No deadline posted


 * Ad appeared 11/21


 * "post Early Modern dramatic literature"

Yes, the worst I've ever seen. I feel for the committee. The way the system worked all font info would be lost, so no italics, bolded headings, etc. CVs must be hard to read like that.
 * Their online application system is freakin' terrible!

If they really care about a candidate, surely they'll ask for a proper letter and CV along with other materials, no?
