[job hunt] Rejection letters
Feb. 7th, 2007 09:59 amI haven't posted much lately, mostly because my job search is still going very poorly. I have gotten some interesting rejection letters, though.
1) University of Mountainous State: a handwritten sticky note attached to the letter saying that with some more postdoc experience, I'd be a top notch faculty candidate.
2) Some Fellowship Committee: actual feedback on my proposal!
3) University of City in Mountainous State:
I also had my reference letters requested by Euphemistic University.
However, I still have no actual offers, so I'm looking at the distinct possibility that I will not be employed next year. I figure we'll can save some money on childcare and commuting costs, so financially we'll be okay. I can work on finishing up papers while the kids are at school, and hopefully get a boost that way. In the meantime, I'm practicing not crying while talking about how badly things are going. It's hard.

3) University of City in Mountainous State:
"Because of the large volume of highly qualified applicants, the initial review process took longer than anticipated. At this time, we are conducting on-campus interviews with several candidates whose qualifications most closely match our needs.They seem to have forgotten the line saying that I was no longer under consideration, how careless of them.
We shall keep you updated on the status of our search."
