What Happens After You Submit Your Application?

• All applications are reviewed for the minimum qualifications.
• From the applicant pool, we select the best candidates for interviews or testing. We may administer a written test to determine knowledge in specific areas. Depending upon the number and the quality of applicants, we may conduct more than one round of interviews. The first round may be a telephone interview.
• If there is more than one round of interviews, we select the best applicants to move to the next round of on-campus interviews. For teaching positions, this may include a short teaching exercise.
• We conduct reference checks.
• We may make an offer (or decide to take some other action.)
• When a successful applicant has been offered a position and accepts a job offer, letters are mailed to all applicants advising them that the position has been filled.

This process usually takes at least two weeks and often longer.
