Margaret Burnett, Alan Fern, Carlos Jensen, Thinh Nguyen, Weng-Keen Wong School of EECS OSU Martha Chamberlin Director of Project Development and Training OSU Extended Campus Panel: How to interview for an academic job This colloquium will be a panel discussion that brings together a variety of perspectives on how to interview for an academic job. The topics covered will be: (1) What are the faculty looking for and how are they deciding which candidates have it? (2) What are some specific interviewing skills a candidate should know? (3) Tips from the trenches from recent academic job candidates. (4) Open discussion/q&a (other faculty and soon-to-be job candidates in the audience should join the fray here). Bios: Margaret Burnett is a Professor in the School of EECS, and has been on the School's hiring committee most years since 1997.

In the course of interviewing for her present position, she took a course on interviewing, and will share the many insights she gained from applying the course to her experience, including things like: your values, your inventory of skills, elevator speech (me in 30 seconds), preparing to sound prepared, and more.
