For context: i’m still currently on a job hunt that I started early June thinking I was being proactive to have something lined up for my out of state move on Sept. 1st. I have applied to mostly higher ed jobs and quickly learned how slow these processes can be, considering I heard back from no one until mid-late August. Now, I am still in the middle of some interview processes for a few schools.
One institution in particular offered me an interview virtually, and a week or so later informed me I was a “finalist” and set up an in-person second interview. Once there, I was told if I were a “final finalist” I would get a third and final interview (this is simply an advising position.. but sure.) They even informed me I was on their last day for second round interviews. It is now going on 3 weeks since second round interview, and after checking in for updates twice and explaining I am traveling soon & want to be prepared in case I advance, they are still “deliberating” their final two candidates. I know this is the name of the game, but I’m going crazy waiting around refreshing my email everyday. Anyway, make me feel better with your even worse experiences please & thanks
