excellent advice

Excellent advice, Steve! You have described the ups and downs of interviewing so well! Todd, if you think that the issue is not your qualifications, but perhaps how you perform in an interview, then you have a couple of options:| first, contact your university's career placement center--they usually have programs set up where they will hold mock interviews with you just for the practice. The more practice you have, the more confident you appear. Second, call around to a few schools and ask to speak to the person in charge of hiring. Tell them that you are currently preparing to interview in other schools | |
or that you are doing research and explain that you would like to know what type of rating scale the interview team uses to rate candidates. I have been part of many interview committees, and we use a scale that rates candidates on everything from poise, confidence, articulation, and their ability to handle questions on the spot. If you had such a rating guide in front of you, you could see exactly what "wows" an interviewer and work on making sure you have those qualities the next time you go in. Good luck, try not to get discouraged. Most jobs open up at the most unusual times, yours will come along.
