<< All the written stuff and interviews are for the birds. Place the person
in
a classroom and see what they can do. Having served on numerous hiring
committees in the past 25 years, I can relate some stories about those who
interviewed absolutely perfect in terms of background, experience and
education. Ended up being dodos in class. >>
Arie-
I'm currently in the process of applying to my favorite college - they have
two full-time positions for the fall. It was risky, but I asked every person
who was going to write me a letter of rec. to come and sit in on my classes.
My boss at the state college I teach at joked with me that he thought I was
wonderful now...... but if he actually saw me teach, he might change his
mind! 8-) All went well and I got better letters out of it. Any other
suggestions? I know that, if I get to the interview stage, they *will* ask
for a presentation and I'll be prepared.
