Behavioral Presentation

It was a pretty simple process. I talked with the board members, and they told me about the department and each other. Then, they asked me some questions. The vibe was super chill, and they even showed me around the college.

The department chair looked at my CV and then immediately told me that I wasn't a good match for the job. I told them that my degree wasn't exactly in the area they wanted, but it was in a related field. The department chair seemed annoyed and impatient during our chat. I only spoke with the department chair, not with any search committee members.

I applied in November 2024 and got an invitation for a 30-minute panel interview with an IT Manager, a System Administrator, and a programmer. I felt I did well, but haven't heard back from the IT Manager who set it up. I followed up with him about the next steps, but still no response.
