Interviewing Final-Stage Graduate Students...
Welcome. We are very grateful for your making time to meet with us here in this Atlanta hotel room. We understand that the elevators aren't bult to move 1,000 job market candidates from one random floor to another every thirty minutes. We understand that you have just run up five flights. But start talking anyway. Tell us about your job market paper?
What else is going to be in your dissertation?
When is it going to be finished--and don't say "August"?
What is your longer term research strategy?
What would you like to teach?
What would you be willing to teach under duress?
What questions do you have for us about life in Arkham at Miskatonic University?
Would you be interested on a joint appointment at the soft-money Azathoth College of Unearthly Research?
