I literally cannot remember how many search committees I have served on, let alone how many candidates I have interviewed. A few years ago I was the chair of a single search committee that hired four tenure-track professors at the assistant or associate level. This year we have two separate search committees going.<\/p>\n<p>Institutions and departments have different policies and cultures, so I certainly cannot speak for search committees everywhere, but I have personally received or indirectly heard a lot of frustrated queries from applicants so I thought it might be helpful to try to demystify the process a bit for them. Here is how I would answer four of the most common questions.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/academia\">academia<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/jobs\">jobs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/inside-higher-ed\">inside-higher-ed<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/culture\">culture<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/humanities\">humanities<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/social-science\">social-science<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.overthinkingit.com\/2011\/02\/03\/law-and-order-database-2\/\">The Law and Order Database: Seasons 1-10 | Overthinking It<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;Last May, I mourned the end of L&amp;O by announcing a crowdsourced effort to catalog the outcome of all 456 episodes. At first, the responses poured in, as bountiful as Lenny&#8217;s wisecracks. After a month of so, everyone trailed off&#8230; except for a reader named Josh Kyu Saiewitz, who decided that this was the perfect opportunity to watch every Law &amp; Order episode, in order. (If you think that&#8217;s impressive, you should check out Josh&#8217;s blog, where he&#8217;s attempting to consume every comic, TV show, movie, and video game featuring Batman, all in chronological order. He&#8217;s up to 1941.)<br \/>\nJosh recently made it through the halfway mark of the series. I won&#8217;t say he&#8217;s a hero &#8211; because what&#8217;s a hero? &#8211; but this post would be impossible without his efforts.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/television\">television<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/law\">law<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/crime\">crime<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/culture\">culture<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/society\">society<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Career Advice: Why We Said No &#8211; Inside Higher Ed &#8220;My department has run a search for at least one faculty member every year for the last 10 years.
